The Heart Murmur THE QUESTION oC heart murmurs ilocs not' usually'disturb the of our civil-, life', but in time when the draft' boards examine any large prroup ot young people a certain number arc found to "a systolic murmur of the hiiiirt." They hadn't the sliKhtcst idea they had.it Inii'oru the medical examinu'r turned it up and in fact didn't have any notion they had the mnttur with their hearts and imagined they were in perfect health. Sor.io of them wi-te mo in utter bewilderment wanting to know what it is all about. These letters take me back to dark niKht in my own liCe, when I wa.s a medical student, nnd I was silting up in my room read ins i Cabot's 'Diagnosis and I had a brand new stethoscope and i soniuthiiiK in the text o)' the book prompted me to put tho stcthe- scope on the apex of my own heart. And there heard a murmur. Then for a.

second or two my heart entirely stopped beatinfr so I couldn't hear it. When it resumed its activities I listened sprain and sure enoiiKh I was certain it was a murmur. Well, I put the stethoscope dowr, and faced dcrr.h. A sob came into my throat to think of one so younp, so full of promise passing from this bright world to tho realms of sha.de. I planned an extremely affecting funeral, Eut time wore on nnd I resumed my duties and more or less got used to tho idea.

Murmur 2Vo(: Serious And that, my children, was, nearly forty years and the funeral hasn't taken place yet, and I'm still proing strong. I don't ex- amininc my own heart as oCten as I used to, but when I do I cannot detect any murmurs in it. Perhaps my technique has become more refined and I don't any old sound a. murmur. And perhaps that is the trouble with some of the medical examiner of the draft do call any old sound a murmur.

Still another a.nd more authentic experience comes to mind. During, the last unpleasantness, a neighbor of mine came to me in great distress because the medical examiner of the Army had found a heart murmur on him, a.nd he was desperately unxious to get into the service. I was a medical officer and I examined him and found he did indeed have a' murmur. But I didn't think, it would interfere with his activities and managed to get him into the ground forces ol' an auiation unit. Well, 1 hadn't seen him for a Ion ptime until the other day and I I is that heart mur- I he said, "That is worth a' year to me, insur- 1 ancn compensation, and I feel i line." And he has been carrying that murmur, my friends, for over i twenty-five years to my positive knowledge.

So I can't take these heart murmurs too seriously. IvYinnltiatlon of tStudcnts I am confirmed in this by.a report of l.hc examination-of Harvard College students. Of of these who had an especial heart examination. "CO (12 per cent) were found lo have a systolic heart, murmur. In 238 the murmur was classified as functional.

Marine Who Got No Awhile Service Postman Had To Ring Not Just Twice But 63 Times is to be a light-hearted column. So you want to worry over the troubles of a world you can't do 'anything, to another My first attempt to brighten up vour day, concerns an overseas husband, a Marine, and his young bride. When the Marine loft, this country he was soon lo be eligible to that large group of far away fighters known among themselves as "The I-Want-To-See-My-Eaby club." Foi' two months after he- had said "goodbv" lo his wife he awaited word ol" the arrival of their ilrsi.

child. IS'O word came. No word of any kind about his wife, the child to be or any kith or k-in. Then, quite unexpectedly, one harried morning, as he was leaving a troop ship at a certain port, an old Washington frienl rushed past, going in the opposite direction. Bound for the same ship, the old friend shouted as he galloped by: "Say: You got a daughter!" The vpung husbnml and father tried anxiously and unsuccessfully for weeks thereafter to get ,1 mns- back to Washington.

He was frantic with curiosity a.nd worry. Then one day when he was way r.Sl a spot in the South Seas his name was called out by the post-man. He hurried for the long awaited news. It came in a lump, so to speak. In a packasc so big he had to have help currying it! Sixty-three letters! Sixty-three in one lightning stroke.

The Marine asked for furlough, He spent it reading his mail from home and catching up on his family life. A STORY WASN'T Sort of cheers a broodir.g spirit. In much the same manner does that new "What They Don't Know" restores a lagging faith in you and me. "What They Don't Know" was written by Wnrd Greene, a newspaper man of many years' experience, who understands dred twor.ty seven students (-1 per cent) had heart murmurs of such intensity that the examiner was unwilling to classify them as functional. A good many of these wore followed for two to four years, and it was never possible to make a positive diagnosis oC organic heart disease, nor did it-interfere in any way with their actvites.

The fact is a systolic murmur alone does not mean anything. The important findings to throw light, on the murmur arc the size of the heart, the rhythm of the pulse, etc. (A systolic murmur means one timed as 'taking place during the contraction period of the heart. A diastolic murmur heard between beats is more serious. I suppose 80 per cent of all practicing physicians could detect, a frank heart murmur.

But there am lot-s of heart sounds that are in and between and I don't suppose '0 per cent of practicing physicians could certainly determine those. But the safe thing for the Army is to call them murmurs and rejfio.t' them. And those are the ones who write me troubled letters. the world and the goings on of people who mess it up. Xou'tl think- Mr.

Greene might have done a slightly hi'der novel. On tlie contrary, this is a gay. young ar.d hopeful book: It proves, once again a favorite argument of "The successful- newspaper person is not tough, unbelieving sardonic: He just pretends to be that way. Actually the successful newspaper person is idealistic to the point of gullibility, lie must of necessity be so. "He must continually search and believe that day will Ilnd it.

Otherwise he would be so bruised by the feet of eiay he stumbles on- in his daily meetings with heroes that ho would head straight for tho nearest river and jump water wings firmly fastened to his typewriter."
