VIII the speeding-up and driving
qualities which have pushed the
American business man to the top Of
the heap also put a period to his SUI
premacy by ending him and his line?
The possibility is hipted in a volume
just issued by two famous Johns
Hopkins professors on blood pressure.
The organisms adaptability to new
conditions would seem to be the only
compensating factor warding off this
outcome.
High blood pressure is becoming
the typical American ailment. and It
is attributed by these physicians in
no small part to constant pep" con-
tinuous striving at top tension and
speed without intermission or relaxa-
ton. The disease terminates the
usefulness of some of the most eff
cient men, in their prime.
Tenseness, anxiety and fear are bad
mental habits which impair the phys
ical structure through the simple
process Of keeping the body keyed up
in unconscious preparation for either
fight or flight, with a corresponding
rise in blood pressure which strains
the system as much as if the violent
muscular effort were gone through.

He said Of all who would join
him in doing the will Of God, in work
ing for a friendly and honest world,
that they would be mother. sister ana

MEDITATION: In doing the worlds
work we are not to fell that we work
alone in the Fathers field, but that
the upward life Of the Will Of God is

the good impulses Of men may be

To the EDITOR Of The Times
In regard to The Thomas Shaw muir
der case:
Regardless Of the statement he
made when apprehended. as to where
he was that night the motor Of his
car was warm, which evidently was
the result Of use.
He connected his host. John. with
the case. but John proved by his
brother that he was home in bed all
the time When questioned by the
police next day he was exonerated.
At the formal trial and conviction
Of Shaw, he succeeded in establish
ing an alibi when he proved by repu-
table white women that he had passed
that and the succeeding night at their
house in the 500 block of S. Delaware
St. more than one mile away from
402 w Maryland St, where he lived.
How does the jury reconcile the
