New buryport, Mass, May CuP) All joking aside. "Bossy" Gillis is doing g, pretty good job as mayor Of Ncwburyport.
 The rather pugnacious ex sailor, who was transformed overnight from filling station proprietor into chief executive Of the ultra -Conser- Natise community, already has won his political spUrs-an1 by employ ing tactics similar to those which in other days made him an outstanding figure in Gasoline Alley.

ATHLETIC HEART
 AND ITS CAUSE
One Doctor Says It's Disease,
 Not Exercise

Chicago May R-The old be- lief that the heart increased in size according to the increased amount of work it was called upon to per form is a myth. Dr. Matthias J. Sei1ert, Chicago, says in study of the effect of exercise upon the heart, prepared for the Gorgas Memorial Institute here.
 If an athletes heart increases in size it is not because Of the exer- else he has performed, but because there was something fundamentally wrong with it to begin with, Dr. Seifert declares.
 Tt is now found," he says, that the predisposition Of the heart to enlargement is the result of infec- tous diseases, such as scarlet fever, pneumonia. rheumatism and too strenuous exercise in youth, as we'll as to physic traumas.
 Exercise for pleasure causes no enlargement of the heart. but on the contrary produces a strengthen HIS VI tlc T" uOit bOUN ana, nor mally. even a smaller heart.'
 Such conclusions have been proved Dr. Seifert said. by the roentsenologic and experimental re- searches of Dr. Deutsch and Kauf of the University Of Vienna. They showed that the healthy heart does not react to work with enlargement, but only the diseased heart is sub ject to dilation.
 The heart, as well as every other organ of the body, needs exercise in order to maintain the normal physi- ologic equilibrium of the individual" '" Dr. SelfeN continued. The best re- turns from exercise will be obtained If, at the beginning. one never exer- cises until tired out.
 By blowing out the breath while lifting, or throwing, or applying muscular effort, the heart. the ar teries, and the blood pressure will ba safeguarded. Conversely. hold ing the breath while lifting. throw ing and applying muscular strength Will have harmful effect upon the heart and blood vessels, and will raise the blood pressure to a danger out degree. A good rule before taking up sport is to submit to 8 thorough examination by and re- celVe instruction from. your family physician. Lack of exercise. with lack Of mental effort, will reduce the individual to low level of existence"

fication of the resolution finally
barring frank L. Smith, republican
of Illinois, from the senate was agreed
upon in private conferences today

report of the special slush fund COM
mittee proceeded on the floor.
AT the insistence of Senators Bo-
rah, republican, Idaho; Reed. demo-
crat, Missouri, chairman of the COM
mittee, and other senators, it was
consented to eliminate the phrase
that Smith is not entitled to oath of
office because of contributions and
expenditures in his primary campaign
in 1926.
AS thus changed the resolution
would recite that the senator elects
credentials are tainted with fraud
and corruption and that therefore
he is not entitled to membership in

of the state of Illinois.
Under this declaration of vacancy,
number of senators hold that the

Governor Small would not take this
course, leaving Smith free to pre-
sent his credentials again at the
opening of the seventy-first congress
