Aviators' Ailments.

Raref1ed air affects the aviator as
well as his engine and those who plan
to make flying a regular vocation or
to make frequent flights to consider
able height are liable to find difficult
ties in adjusting themselves to the
new conditions. Etienne and Lamy re-
ported to the French Academy of Med
icine that enlargement of the heart
develops in all aviators. In ascending
to an altitude where the atmospheric
pressure is half that normal to the
body or less, extra work is suddenly
thrown upon the heart, and # this is
repeated often or long continued some
adjustment is the natural course. The
hypertrophy seems to vary in degree
with the height frequented. Chasing
and bombing airplanes usually fly
above $4,000 feet, and the heart en-
largement induced is greater than
among the groups of f1iers who keep
in the zone from 5000 to 10000 feet
above sea level.

IS LOCKED IN Refrigerator
Facing Death in Sound-Proof Box Is
Thrilling Experience of Kansas
Butcher

GOOdland, Kan.-E. w. Sullivan, the
butcher, has just had an experience
that gave him some idea of what it
means to be entombed with little or
no prospect of being rescued.
He entered his shop, locking the
door after him, and then entered the
big refrigerator. The door closed and
the snap lock shut him up in tenn
perature of about 80 degrees. The big
ice box is straight and sound-proof, so
that it was impossible to make enough
noise to attract persons passing on
the street.
A large hook was used to make a
hole in the door, but without success,
and it was only when Sullivan dis
covered cleaver in one corner of the
refrigerator that hope was renewed. A
hole was cut in the door near the lock
and the butcher secured release after
an hours work.

Finally, the Patriot Service league,
realizing it is more difficult in a de-
mocracy than in an autocracy for the
government to initiate and to get
things done will bring home to every
citizen through speakers and litera-
ture the necessity and the opportunity
for universal service in this fight for

torney general; Alton B. Parker, once
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency; Oscar S. Straus, former am
bassador to Turkey-these are but
few of the men who are working to
extend the Patriotic Service league.
The league has now been organized
! in the Seventeenth congressional dis
trict, adjoining the Nineteenth, here,
and has been successfully inaugurated
in Boston.
"The plans for extension through
out the country have been formulated"
said Mr.. Stowell, $50 that it may be
possible to marshal the combined force
of all loyal citizens behind the presi-
dent. The spread of the league will
save an immense amount Of duplica-
ton. In each community the loyal Of
| f1cerS will know their own people.
They will, for example, easily secure
cooks and attendants for departing
hospital units. They will find needed
mechanics. They will direct their ap-
peals for funds to all those who are
willing to contribute. The Patriotic
Service league furnishes the machinery
by which the wisdom of Hoover can
be brought with emphasis to every
kitchen in the land. The citizen

success of the project in the Nine

tent, to the energy of women, prom

Another Of the women was Mrs.

Where Every Day Counts
The saving of seed corn from a crop
of the right kind is a matter of impor-
tance everywhere, but more particul-

country. That is where the vicissi-

bring about soft crop. There, also

But it takes time to select seed

All right-it's your business. But

say, was poor corn year. Frost came

Probably you fail to find him and have

Some waste of time connected with
that process, isn't there? After you
get it., perhaps it is unadapted to
your locality and yields poor crop of
immature corn.
Save for Two or More Years.
That is one of the reasons why the
corn experts of the United States De-

to select out of this years crop enough
