~ 3 TAR he NT TAY ae Ee i a lr EY anh a Ean = - \ Sri TS em RNR - EN UE Cis i ne Royal Bachelor Girl Is Still Aloof From Love Princess Juliana of Holland, Heartwhole and Fancy Free, Disappoints Matchmakers Princess Juliana of Holland--girl whom no princeling wants, or girl who wants no princeling? That's the cross-word puzzle which has intrigued royal matchmakers of Europe for the past six years. About rR month ago, after a visit to London with her royal kinfolk and friends, she left the gossipers more in the dark than ever. And the recent death of her father, Prince Consort Henry, Duke of Mecklenburg, has brought up the question anew. Juliana is as much the bachelor girl of Europe as the Prince of Wal- es is the royal bachelor; neither has followed the rule of their respective houses and married early. The Prin- cess' Queen-mother succeeded to the throne when she was 10 and married when she was 21. Juliana at 25 is still heart-whole and fancy-free. PUZZLE TO HER PEOPLE The Dutch don't like it. They would prefer to see her wedded, set- tled down and raising a family, so that the throne would fall into the hands of those in the direct line of the House of Orange. Also the Dutch don't understand it. Not only is she the heiress to the throne of a tidy little country with immensely rich colonies, but she is rich in her gown right, is attractive in appearance, is brilliantly educat- ed, charming in private conversation and full of fun. Any prince, they say, ought to be glad to marry her. Only --there is the doubt as to whether she wants to be married. In the past few vears a whole procession of pro- testant German and Swedish eligibles has passed in review and not once did Juliana "bat an eye," indicating: "I'll have that one" GUIDED BY FAMILY EXPERIENCE It way be that what occurred in her own family life has made her hesitant choosing a Prince Consort. When her mother, Queen Wilhel- mina, married the late Prince Henry, a German, the Dutch were none too pleased. Germany was too powerful and too dangerous a neighbor. Poor Prince Henry had to efface himself. He had the name of near-royalty without the game. He was the hyphen in the family. The husband of Prin- cess Juliana would have to play a similar role. Juliana will be Queen some day if she lives, but if she gets married her husband will be only Consort. In the meantime, she is not pining away, not Princess Juliana. She went toa Dutch university, mingled with her. fellow students, and had a lot of innocent fun. Incidentally, she perfected herself in languages, history and economics, After she graduated, she lived at home in her mother's palace. Then her grandmother, the late Queen Emma, put in a word for her and she was given a palace of her own in which to set up her own establishment. It is called a palace by courtesy. As a matter of fact, it is just a nice patrician residence in one of the most attractive old-world squares in The Hague. TAKES HOLIDAYS ABROAD Every year now for some time past she has been going over to England, just for a real holiday. There is less restriction in London than in The Hague. The latter is a neat little city, but it's a whispering gallery where every move is discussed. Lon- don is so big that a whisper doesn't carry far. Here she can do what any' London girl does--go to dances and parties and lead the kind of life a rich, well- born young woman normally likes to live. Of that there can be no doubt, because last year after her regular London visit, she wrote to one of her friends: "IFor twelve days I have lived in a continual whirl .Life has been glori- ously free and riotously gay." Again, like the Prince of Wales, she is making the most of it. Both of them know that when they mount a threne their lives will not be par- ticularly free or gay. They will be bound and fetiered by the things that a ruler must and. must no do. When you consider the fierce white light that beats upon a throne, per- haps you cannot blame the Princess Juliana for gathering her rosebuds while she may.

Drugs and Weather Effects of Digitalis on Heart [Found to Differ Widely RAN. The most important of all drugs for treating diseases of the heart is digitalis. If it is prescribed scienti- fically it must be standardized: that is the physician must be sure of the effect produced by a known dose. Drug makers therefore assay digitalis and establish its potency by injecting it into cats. The weight of the cat, the strength of the dose, everything is considered in establishing efficacy in terms of cat units. Everything? Not quite, according to Dr. David I. Macht, who conducts research in a Baltimore pharmaco logical laboratory and who writes about some strange discoveries of his in The American Journal of Phar- macy. * Like other pharmacologists, Di. Macht has for years been assaying digitalis by the cat method. He not- ed that the effect varied considerably with the barometric pressure and less 80 but stil measurably, with the hum- idity. He found that it takes less of a given tincture of digitalis to kill a cat when the barometer falls sud- denly during a storm than when the weather is fine and the barometer stands high. BAROMETER AND THE HEART To make gure that he was right about this He had experiments made in the mountains, where the pressure is lower than at sea level. Professor Jarisch of the University of Inns: Buck's: pharmacological laboratory confirmed the résults in the Alps. So did Drs. Lehmann and Hanrlik with methods of their own, Does the digitalis vary with the weather? Or is it the cats? Of course it is the cats. "We know that the ascent of mountains and flight in air- ships profoundly affect the physio- logical functions of men and animals and particularly circulation and re- spiration," says Dr. Macht. "It is these changes which render the ani- mal more responsive to such a power- ful heart drug or poison as digitalis." Evidently it is not enough to tell a_ heart patient to take so much digitalis at such and such infervals, The barometer is as important as the thermometer. If Dr. Macht has his way, doses of digitalis---and prob- '| ably other drugs--should be adjust- ed to conform with the barometric pressure, Fog Dreaded Menace of Sailor and Aviator Dispelled by Chemical Cambridge, Mass Fog, the deadli. est menace of the aviator and the come, Chemical dissipation of fog over limited areas was tested for the first time last I'riday at the Massachu- selts Institute of Technology's Round Hill Research Station at South Dart. mouth, it became known today.
