PEOPLE OF ICELAND
ARE FREE FROM
MODERN ILLS
HOFN HORNAFJORD, Iceland, Dec.
4.—Villiage doctors in the United
States are often called upon to make
trips that occupy hours, or even days,
to the homes of their patients, but
in Iceland the district physician, as
a matter of routine often covers hun
dreds of miles by horseback in the
ordinary course of his duties.
The government physician of the
Hornafjord district, stretching along
the southern coastline, has one of
the most difficult territories to cover
in the kingdom. His district em
braces more than 100 square miles,
most of it in remote valleys or along
the narrow strip of coast. It is
surrounded by huge mountains,
many of them active volcanoes, and
glaciers, and great snowfields, and
in the course of each inspection he
must cross more than 100 rivers,
few of which are bridged at any
time of the year. In the spring
these rivers, fed by the big glaciers

that v.Tind down nearly every valley,
become swollen torrents, and it is
pften hours before the doctor can
find a safe ford for his pony. The
usual inspectign trip, made every
few weeks, requires at least nine
days, and sometimes a fortnight.
In addition, although Iceland is
an unusually healthy country with
few serious diseases, unexpected
calls are frequently made for the
physician, who must start out at
any hour of the day or night, usu
all preceded by a guide sent by
the patient himself. Accidents fre
quently occur in the fish drying
I sheds along the coast, or among the
j herders in the mountain valleys, and
as- the district physician is the only
one wihtin hundreds of mlies, he
must be ready to call at any time.
His trips are always made on the
stout Icelandic ponies, capable of
carrying large loads over great dis
tances without fatigue.
But few of the diseases known in
the cities of the world are met with
in this remote district of south Ice
land, shut off as it is from close
contact even with other districts of
the kingdom. No case of venereal
disease ever has been reported at
Hornafjord, and epidemics are un
known. Bronchial troubles, however,
are rather frequent, and there have
recently been some cases of pulmon
ary tuberculosis.
Prosecutor Holds That
Pastor’s Wife Slain
/COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 3.—The man
ner in which the body of Mrs. Addie
Sheatsley, 50, wife of the Rev. C. V.
Sheatsley, pastor of Christ Lutheran
church of Bexley, a suburb, wras cre
mated, was as much a mystery to
day as when the charred bones were
found in the heating furnace of the
family recently. Two days of inves
tigation by County Prosecutor John
G. King, aided by city detectives, has
resulted in no clue, the prosecutor
announced.
Today the investigation had par
tially shifted to Paris, Ohio, where
Prosecutor King will question rela
tives of the cremated woman, in
cluding her aged mother, who until
last March made her home with the
Sheatsleys.
The theory that the woman might
have been murdered and her body
been thrown into the flaming vault
was being further investigated to
day. Unwilling to believe it possi
ble for any person to climb through
the small door into the flames and
survive long enough to close the
door behind, the prosecutor was em
phatic in his declaration that the
woman was murdered. If not mur
dered, he clings to the theory that
her body was cast into the furnace
by another after her suicide.
VENUS DE MILO
ALW AYS ARMLESS
PARIS, Dec. 4.—Venus de Milo
never had any arms, declares Dr.
Edde in “LTllustration,” in response
to numbers of questions which are
continually being asked in regard to
the famous statute in the Louvre.
“This statue, lie goes on to say,
"was not always buried in ancient
ruins. For many years it was exposed
in a great temple and admired and
worshipped by the entire Hellenic
world. Artists reproduced it and
copies of the lovely Venus were scat
tered throughout the universe.”
Dr. Edde himself possesses a beau
tiful small Venus in bronze made by
a poor Egyptian artist. It is un
doubtedly of the same epoch as the
Venus of the Louvre and it has no
arms. This is almost positive proof
according to the connoisseur that the
real Aphrodite never had any at all.
Of course the next question is why
j didn’t she have them? And here the
question becomes more difficult. Per
haps the artist intended to add them,
but, seeing his half-finished work so
beautiful, feared to add anything that
might take away from its beauty.
Then again, it may have been the
sculptor died suddenly without being
able to finish his work.
At the time when the statute was
found in the island which gave it its
name, the arms were long searched
for and even a large sum was prom
ised to the person who could find
them. In spite of all the efforts, the
arms were never found, for it is very
likely there never were any.
