Heart impairment alone of the twohundred odd recognized means by which human life on earth is terminated causes more deaths among the male inhabitahts of Illinois than do accidents. With females the situation is different. Heart disease, cancer, nephritis and pneumonia are all responsible for greater mortality than are accidents among females. Accidents result in more t^ian twice as many deaths among males than females -Accidents, suicides, and homicides account for, nearly three times as much mortality among the males as among the "females of the State. About on* out of each eight deaths among the male inhabitants of Illinois during 1934 resulted from accidental, suicidal or homicidal causes. Heart disease was responsible for" one" of each five deaths. Thus external violence of one kind or another and heart impairment were together responsible for one-third of the mortality among males in Illinois in 1934. Cancer, nephritis, pneumonia and tuberculosis added to 'these account of more than two-thirds of all mortality among males. ^ Females experience! a much lower risk than males fromx all forms of violence. Only about one in each seventeen deaths results from accident, suicide and homicide. Heart impairment, cancer, nephritis, apoplexy, and pneumonia all rank ahead of accidents in the order named, as causes of mortality among females. „The records show, therefore, that accidents rank second among males but sixth among females, with respect to frequency as a cause of death.

We Deliver --Riverside DriW McHenry Chlcago.-;-On the floor of the dining ro0m in his basement flat Miles Kramer lay dead--a bullet In his heart About the body of the thlrty-elght-year-old amateur inventor and day dreamer stood the police and Kramer's tearful widow, Helen, thirty-five years old. Orged by the police, the widow told her story wearily. She had worked all that day in an Irving Park boulevard department store where she Is i clerk. In the early evening her hus band telephoned her to say he had collected $100 In "back wages." She was amazed, having believed him to be unemployed. Nevertheless the, news was a 'happy surprise and wh^n her day's work ended'at 8 p. W she' hurried home. She reached the basement apartment at about 6:45 p. m. and found heir hus: band's body, Just as It lay when the pSSllce called. - No Gun at Scene., "And yoti found no gun?" ^IThs policeman had asked the question many times and he listened skeptically as she replied again:. - ^ "No. There was no gun." At the Inquest the widow fold something Of her late husband's ^character and habits. He was a moody fellow who spent most of his time mooning over mystery and detective stories, she said. Also he puttered around over inventions. He often told his wife fanciful tales of lucrative employment. His last phone call to her was an example of his Imaginative stories, she added. The "$100 back pay" was not in his pockets. An interested listener at this recital was Capt. Joseph Goldberg of the Albany Park police. Could It have been, he asked himself, that this erratic character was carried away by the idea of dramatically staging hi# own murder? Captain Goldberg called Lieut. John McGloon and Patrolman James Fogarty and sent them back to the Kramer apartment. His order was: , "Find that gun !" One of the first things the Investigators noticed when'they reached the suite of rooms was a door in the dining room that led into a passageway about ten feet long. This, they found, opened into the building's boiler room. Besides the boilers, there were builtin tubs for laundry work and a stove. There was nothing unusual about the room, however, and McGloon and Foparty were about to turn away when something Jhat was lying across a burner of the stove caught their attention.' KpN-' i • K--• • A Strange/ Find. It was an eight-Inch length'of fiveeighths- lneh pipe. It was plugged at one end and the open end pointed toward the passage that led to the Kramer dining room. McGloon and l-'ogarty removed the plug and pulled out a discharged .38 caliber cartridge. It was the end of the mystery. Kramer, the police are convinced, swathed the cartridge with packing so it would fit snugly into the larger diameter of the pipe. Then he jammed it In and attached the metal cap. He lighted a burner and fastened the pipe to the stove so the loaded end of the pipe was over the flame. This 'lone, Kramer stood in front of the bizarre weapon and waited until the heat exploded the fulminate in the priming cap. Mortally wounded though, he was, Kramer managed to reach his dining room before dying. The stove burner, police believe, was turned oft later by a janitor or a tenant who used the laundry.

Kemp, mem ber of the Million a Year Insoraiuv club and other organisations, friend and broker to a host of theatrical and radio stars, was arrested here on cTiarges of forgery and grand larceny Arrested in his office at 551 Fifth avenue. Kemp, tift.v-one years old. and distinguished looking, told detectives: "I've pxpected this for seven years." He admitted that during that period he has converted more than of his customers' money to his own use. He said that he had spent the money tn lavish living, denying that he had lost It in gambling or speculating.',.^. -T v Charge, Rogers Forgery. The specific charge against Kemp was that he .forged the name of Mrs Betty Rogers, widow of Will Rogers, to a dividend check for $1,524.51, made out to her by the Equitable l-ife Assurance company, in which her husband held four policies totaling $285,* 0<>0. The check was issued J One 20, 1984, and wai sent to Kemp's office, although it was made out in Mrs. Rogers' name. Detectives said that that had been the procedure for years, as the humorist bad unlimited faith in Kemp. ..Among the autographed photographs of stage, , screen, and radio celebrities which lined the walls of Kemp's office, the largest was a pic- 4ure of Will Rogers, bearing the humorist's Inscription: "To my good friend. Jolwi J. Kemp." Kemp admitted, acoortllng "f o" the' police. that he cashed the Rogers dlvl dend check after he had Indorsed it and used the money himself. He said he regretted his actions and told the police he had resorted to larceny only because he was in financial difficulties/ Opera Star a Victim. Another check transaction, Involving Vivlenne Segal, light opera prima don na, led to Kemp's arrest. Miss Segal sent Kemp a check some time ago directing him to use It to pay a premium on her insurance. The company Informed Miss Segal it never received the money. Detectives then investigated Kemp's business alTairs and discovered his other peculations. Kemp had been in business for 20 years and was widely known on'Broadway and In Hollywood as the "actors' insurance mdn."

She Blames "Love Hunger" New York.--Relatives and friends, with traditional loyalty, rushed to the defense of both slayer arid victim In New York's latest triangle murder. Hungry for a girl baby to be -a companion for her young boy, Mrs. Ktta Reisman said she stood by "with despair gripping my heart" and watched tier husband shower his love on the young ond.^retty stenographer who shared their home.

WISE SAYINGS A true poleon. hates no one.^Naical examination' is required.Conse quently, a majority probably belieVe themselves to be in acceptably good physical condition. The sick and manifestly deformed certainly do not apply for enlistment. A report by Lt. H. D. Templeton of the Medical Corps of the Navy, shows however, that 623, or 71 per cent, of 881 applicants at the Navy recruiting^ Office at Indianapolis, were rejected because of physical defects. While this experience may not be representative of th£ nation at large, is undoubtedly indicates a generally high rate of physical impairment among youngr men of eligible age for enlistment in the Navy. On the basis of his observation Lt. Temploton makes this significant assertion: ^ "This survey suggests that periodic physical examinations of school children might have restdted in "the car* rection of many nutritional and Qvelopmental defects." Dental defects, flat feet, defective vision and insufficient physical development predominated, in the order listed, as the causes of rejection. Malnutrition or at least undernourishment appeared to be an outstanding if not the essential cause of a substantial proportion of the physical inferiority this procedure will result in increasing the fitness for life in any field.
