What Normal Blood
Pressure Really Is.

We hear 50 much nowadays about
blood pressure that II Is quite timely
to know what pressure is normal. IL
should be said that. whatever be the
normal blood pressure. IL varies very
considerably; a glass Of wine. a
hearty dinner. any excitement. n
brisk walk. severe brainwork "A cup
Of black coffee. closely contested
game Of bridge. these are typical Of
many little things that will cause n
decided increase. Therefore a
single reading rarely gives an aecu-
rate indication Of the normal blood
pressure Of the individual. the aver
age Of several readings being neces-
sary. And il varies also with age.
The Journal Of the American
Medical Association quotes the re-
suits Of tests made by DIR. w. {. Al
varez on several thousands Of stu
dents Of both sexes at the UNIVERSE
ty Of California, published in the
Archives Of Internal Medicine:
From these il appears that the
blood pressure in young women is
much more uniform than in men.
The range for the women was prac-
tically from s5 to 1855: for men it
was from 30 TO us. Fifty per cent
Of the women's readings fell between
los and li9 NM; 50 per cent Of the
mems fell between 1868 and 1865
nm. High blood pressure appears
earlier and to greater degree in
young men than in young women.
Such are the figures. Ranges of
data may include the abnormal as
well as the healthy normal. A ma
thematical Interpretation Of the val
liable California data suggests that
pressures over 1870 NM, for women
and over i40 nm. for women be-
tween l6 and 20 was ii5 mm.: for
men, 1865 nm. From clinical ex-
perience, Alvarez concludes that
pressures ovr 1877 in women and over
$50 in young men are indicative Of
a hypertensive diathesis which is as
siciated with many typical symptoms

Subscriptions Will Be Re-
ceived Next Month Up to
100000 Shares; Condi-
tions Thought To Be Same

Ebert II. Gary, chairman Of the
United States Steel Corporation, an
nounced yesterday that in accordance
with the company's plan for offering
common stock to employees annually
the finance committee had decided to
offer 100000 shares during the month
of January at $S4 a share This was
identical with yesterdays last quota
tion on the Stock Exchange
The terms of the Offering are under
stood to be the same as in preceding
years, when the workers employed by
the various subsidiary companies were
allowed to pay for their stock subscrip-
tions in small monthly instaIlments,
In addition they receive a bonus OF SIS
share If they hold the certificates for
five years. In other words, the net cost
of the stock at this years price at The
end Of five years would be $50 share.
Subscriptions are usually limited to a
maximum of fifteen years, depending
On the amount of yearly compensation.
Last year the Steel Corporation
offered $4,000 shares of its common
stock to employees at $S1 share; in
1919 the price was $106 share and in
1918 $92 a share. The highest offer
ing price was in 1917, when the figure
was fixed at $107 a share. Prior to
1915 it was the custom Of the big steel
company to offer preferred stock to
employees along with the common, but
this policy was abandoned at the end
of 1914

 Acceptance of the present pact, he contended, would not be inconsistent with the stand taken in 1917 by the Republican minority members of the foreign relations committee in refus- ing to agree to a favorable report. Since then, he declared, changes have been made, including elimination of the expression of the American gov ernment's regret to Colombia for the part played by the United States in the events during the separation of Panama from Colombia. These chang es, he asserted. removed in the main the objections raised in 1917.
 He further declared ratification would cast no reflection on the ac- tion of President Roosevelt in extend ing recognition to Panama after it had revolted from Colombia.

NEW YORK. April 12-The sal aried force of the American Smelling and Refining Company will receive a 20 per cent cut in pay and wages of laboring classes between 30 and 40 per cent, effective June l, it was learned officially tonight.
 Fifteen hundred members of the eX- ecutive force, whose annual salaries total S3,750,OO0. are affected by the 20 per cent decrease. Approximate ly 12.000 wages earners are affected by the larger decrease, which, it was pointed out. is based on the higher wages paid durins the war emer- gency.
 The 20 per cent reduction will be applicable. it was said. to everyone from President Simon Guggenheim down." and would include managers. superintendents. assistant superin- tendents and others in less responsi- ble executive positions.
 The apparently excessive wage cut for laborers, it was explained, was due to the fact that they had received the greatest increase during the war because of the labor shortage

It opposed limitation of trade periods in futures, favored a competent and aggressive" censor ship of market news, opposed private market wires except under manage ment of member of the Chicago Board of Trade, into towns of less than 25.000 population except under management of a member of the Chi caeo Board of Trade and recommend ed revision of trade customs concern ing deferred acceptance of trade con tracts and of extension of credit to clients whose transactions were for other than hedging purposes.
