Heart Murmur in Child Need Not Cause Alarm * r—■—■—-—--r, The Condition Is ISot a Serious Disease, Says Authority, but Those Affected Should Re. Given Periodic Ex aminations l util They Have Reached Maturity. By ROYAL S. COPKLAND, M. U. United States Senator from New York. Conner Commissioner of Health. Xew Xorl; City MARK TWAIN • used to »iy , that everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about It. We talk a lot about certain diseases, but regarding some of them we do little. Recent statistics show there Is a definite Increase in the number of onaps oi itcari itepa*' in chil dren. Much ha* been said about this, yet little hits hem accom plished to rf iieve the ait na tion, J !>elie\e the application of a lot , of plain, or dinary. common sense to this problem would be of great value. Many a mother lots been told by the doctor that hrr child hits • >r. Copeland a murmur nr trio nearl imme diately she ]■ convinced that the ohilil has heart discus.- and prob ably won't lien long. The term "heart dlseuse" Is cruel ami harsh. It frightens the mother and handicaps the child by creating the impression that a hopeless con dition Is present. Technically speaking, the term "heart disease" should 1st applied | only to a heart that is diseased and actually damaged, This is not. the i case in heart murmur. There are ; many, many persons who have had i heart murmurs since early childhood 1 and yet have lived to ripe old ago. j In numerous cases the murmur haa not he^n diagnosed Its presence has been overlooked because there has linen almost no trouble from it. Just what is the meaning of a heart murmur in a child" It means that the valves of the heart have been slightly damaged. It does not mean that the heart muscle is dis eased. Usually the damage w«s caused by an Infection of some kind. This may -! hare bees from acute rheumatic j fei er, St. \ pus's dance, scarlet fever : or an attack of any one ot the com mon inteeilous diseases of childhood. The presence of murmur doe* not mean that the child should tie pam pored and made an Invalid. A .-•■ the child crows Older* he must lie taught the facts about his condition am) that ho should not indulge in exces sive or severe exercise. It used to ho the practice to deny the child with a heart murmur any strenuous play. Ntnv tome of the authorities on this subject go so far as to say that exorcise, when done In moderation, la advantageous, The important thing is in deter mine whether Or not there is an in fection anywhere in the body. For example, diseased tonsils are a men ace. Ilnlarged and “pussy" tonsils should be removed. Such tonsils, as well as adenoids. urs always a con stant menace- They may be a source of infection and possible danger to the heart. Children having heart murmur should receive proper nourishment ami plenty of fresh air and outdoor sunshine. They should not be ex posed to unnecessary cold or to sud den weather chan pres The value of regular physical ex aminations for these children cannot ho overstated. Children Who have been ohservi d over a period of front fifteen to twenty years, and have re ceived proper medical supervision, have in own to sturdy and healthy adult ilfe. During this period of observation the size 'and action of the heart, the { pulse ran* and blood pres ure are recorded. Where. -r any reason, ; tho children show ,,ty changes in i these findings, they are given appro- j priate instructions and advice. in this respect period!" health examita- ; tlons are. of greatest value. If you have been told your child j has a heart murmur, do not become t unduly alarmed. With proper care j and the observance or simple hygi- ( epic rules, the child will undoubt edly live out the exiaery of any other child In no way will he ite handicapped in the problems of his later Jjfe Treat y'our oh-el si »ou would a normal, healthy child.

Powers, Lothario of the West Virginia hills, was convicted yesterday of murder in the first de gree for the ‘‘matrimonial racket slaying of Mrs. Dorothy Pressler Lemke, Northboro, Mass., Divorcee. The verdict, carries a mandator, sentence of hanging. It took one hour and 50 minutes for the 12 fnrmers and small town business men to decide that the man who wooed dorens of women by mall should go to the gallows for I the first of the five killings he la accused of perpetrating in the sub terranean death chambers of his Windowless, sound-proof garage; at a place called Quiet Dell. Attorney Shows Concern. The jury deliberated in a dressing room in the basement of the town opera house, where the trial was held. Above tbc jury, in the center of a brilliantly-lighted stage, sat the mart whose doom they were sealing in a. little brown verdict envelope. II Powers had any but a passing concern in what was being decided downstairs, he hid it His attorney, who had wept und clutched a table to support himself as he bogged the jurors for “merry —sympathy," was the only one on the stage who displayed any con cern. v onferK With Lawyer.

Even when the j tears had rolled down the cheeks' of his lawyer, the man branded as1 "one of the worst mass-slayers the world has: ever known” maintained his immobile expression. He seemed puzzled by Law's display of emotion. The spectators who have fought ever since the trial opened for seals in the orchestra pit and balcony, sat in quiet expectancy after the jury retired. When the jury filed back to the stage, a hush fdll over the opera house. Thirteen hundred necks craned forward Thirty reporters ftom all parts of the county, who had occupied the boxes and first floor row of the orchestra pit all week, sat with poised pencils.
