Apand and changed the name to the
American League. Two years later

ranged which resulted in the
American League being placed on
an equal basis with the National.

with other baseball executives, and
his resignation virtually was forced
at meeting of league club owners
last spring.

will accept the announcement of his intentions as
something more than gesture. Coolidge has not

no flamboyant words in making the announcement
encourages belief in his sincerity.

Daily Health
Service
BY DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor Journal Of the American
Medical Association and Of Hygcia,


the Health Magazine
1t has long been the common i'm
preston that the flat-chested person
is the one likely to have tubercu-
lo5is and that persons with large,
round chests have fine set of lungs.
Recently, physicians in the Uni
ycristy Of Minnesota School of
Medicine have made measurements
Of persons with tuberculosis, or nor
NAL adults, of normal children, and
Of children and adults with various
complaints Of the chest to determine
the chest conformation associated
with various diseases. AS result OF
these observations, it is concluded
that the flat-chest is apparently the
healthy chest, and that the round or
deep chest is probably SO conformcd
because it has not developed prop
erly from the infantilc condition.
The vital capacity which repre-
sents the number of cubic inches of
air that person can forcibly expire
after a full inspiration is more than
80 per cent larger in flat-chested
persons than in those having a round,
tuberculosis chest. The vital lung
capacity of normal students varied
FROM 2450 to 62OO cubic centimeters,
with an average Of 434O, whereas that
OF tuberculosis patients varied from
500 to 1900 c. c. with an average of
265O.
+ The round chest type is probably
more prone to tuberculosis. Fortu-
nately, it may be avoided by en-
couraging children to participate in
sports, gymnastics and games, cspe.
cially those that will aid the proper
development Of the chest.
DR.. S. A, Weisman recommends
for this purpose tennis, baseball,
work on the parallel bars, gymnastic
rings, swimming, climbing ladders
backward, and climbing ropes and
trees. German Investigator found
that the vital capacity increases in a
' ny short time under these, forms
of exercise.

Beauties of the Bad Lands
Dickinson Press)

The North Dakota Bad Lands are coming into
their own this Never before have the buttes
and cliffs with all their grotesque and enchanting
formations stood out in such majestic glory to resi-
dents of western North Dakota and to the thousands
of tourists who are passing
The construction of state highway through the
most scenic region Of the middle Bad Lands has
without doubt, been the biggest factor in instiling
larger appreciation of the natural beauties of
their own country in the hearts Of the people of
western North Dakota. Not only does it follow
scenic route but the new highway has taken away
all the worry of driving rough and winding
roads and leaves motorists free to enjoy the scenery
as they pass
The abundant rainfall this season which has
brought out every bit of vegetation on the buttes
and in the gulies and rayines has also added much
to the attractiveness Of the region
More people have traverscd the Bad Lands be-
tween Dickinson and Medora this year than ever be-
fore. They have from every part Of the state.
They have gone away enthusiastic in their praise
and proud that the great tracts of broken lands
shining forth in all their primitive beauty are
part and parcel of North Dakota
But with this only half the story has been told
Far to the north, the Bad Lands along the Little
Missouri are even beautiful than near Medora.
Up to the present time only a comparatively few
people realize this. Until recent years the country
the north has not been easily reached With the
building Of the new bridge across the river north
/ q Grassy Butte and the completion Of the state
highway north and south new wopdcxlapd will be
opsned in western North Da1sota md when u ii
lovers of nature and the great out-of doors will find
heauty and enchantmsnt sufficient to crafty even

A New Career

5 Miss Pattc Field, the only woman vice-consul in
the world has returned to Denver for her first
visit since she was appointed to the position in
Amsterdam about two years ago. She has returned
with vast enthusiasm for her job, with the pre-
diction that diplomacy offers splendid field for
feminine talents, particularly in the routine posi-
tions where the feminine virtues of painstaking
and sympathy and courtesy count for the
BEST
Miss Field believes that the colleges can, perhaps
be the most vital force in introducing women to this
attractive field 1t is her view that they could
bring the proposition to the attention Of Students
by offering specialized training pointing to diplo
matte service.
But she herself has put her finger on the greatest
drawback to women in the diplomatic service, the
urge to talk 1.-THE state department." she says,
"frowns foreign representatives who let slip
details of its inner workings. Women in such posi-
tions, obviously, are particularly bound by these
restrictions, in the face of the belief that women
are prone lowell, talk"
Perhaps the reputation is undescrved and it is
unfortunate. But the fact that Miss Field succeed
ed in her effort to enter the consular service and
that her record is very fine may pave the
attractive field for them.
In the diplomatic and consular service there are
certain duties which women particularly fitted
to discharge. The routine work, unspectacular but
essential comes under this heading and aiding trav-
eers and assisting in the examination of immigrants
are other duties suited to women. Given fair
chance there is doubt that women would be of
great value in this service
