Rupture Of the abdominal wall oc-
ours more frequently with men than
with women. This is probably due
to the extra exertion which men use
in their work. BY far the largest
percentage of ruptures occurs with
those doing hard manual labor.
Men engaged in construction work
where they are forced to lift heavy
objects strain themselves by such
heavy lifting. The sedentary work.
er may Of course bring about the
same kind Of strain by any sudden
exertion of an unusual nature.
A mans abdomen is usually
much stronger than the abdomen Of
an ape or any of the monkey FAM
lily who walk leaning over practi-
cally on all tours. Whether or not
man descended from the apes, it
is apparent that at one time he
crouched down with his shoulders
bent forward. In this position the
vital organs can do their work more
efficiently. When man assumed
the upright position he gradually
developed stronger abdominal mus
cles to hold the organs of the alb
domen in a firmer position; but
those whose muscles have not de-
veloped sufficiently to take care Of
the upright position suffer from
many disorders caused by the alb
dominal organs slipping down into
the pelvis. When the weak abdom-
inal muscles of the lower abdomen
arc pressed upon the prolapsed or
gans there is danger of some Sec
ton of the peritoneum giving way
and allowing a lump Of the intes-
tines to press out into q sack which
is then called "hernia" or "rup-
ture." This sack seldom breaks
completely through the muscle un-
less there is great carelessness in
allowing the sack to further en-
large.
An incipient hernia or rupture
can be quite easily cured through
reducing the internal pressure and
developing the abdominal muscles.
A great deal of pressure from the
prolapsed organs can be relieved if

supply and relieve some of the
weight which presses upon the her.
NAL sack.
Intestinal gas pressure is often
the cause of much Of this pressure
and this, Of course, can be relieved
through suitable dietetic measures.
The proper kind of brace should be
worn to support the hernia so that
no further break or protrusion can
develop. This support should con-
sist Of a flat or spongy pad. These
appliances are superior in every
way to the hard rubber ball truss
which only serves to hold the her.
MIA open and actually prevents it
from healing.
If the rupture has been allowed
to develop so that it extends down
into the inguinal canal it may be
necessary to resort to surgical
measures. Such operations are
more successful with young men
whose tissues will heal to better

Bypass HIGHWAYS

The problem Of through automobile traffic,
which 1t was thought had been met by the con-
struction Of interstate highways, presents it.
self more forcefully than ever in those sections
Of the country where large cities dot the estab-
lished transcontinental or intersectional routes
Tourists, travelling long distances, want to
avoid congested city streets and have sought
relief they could find by the selection of routes
that avoided crowded traffic centers, but this
is not always feasible. There has developed in
consequence, the theory Of bypass highways,
designed to carry through traffic away from all
dense centers Of population and thereby expe-
dite both motor freight and travel for pleasure.
The advantages to travellers, shippers and the
cities themselves from this diversion of traffic
are manifest. Through automobile traffic is
no longer regarded as trade stimulus by large
cities. These urban centers are having enough
difficulty with domestic traffic problems with
out encouraging their multiplication. Smaller
cities, which have traffic problems correspond
ingly great, but want the tourist trade, favor
bypass highways because they separate those
who want to trade with them from those who
are speeding toward another goal beyond.
Those mapping the proposed Washington
boulevard, which will connect Maine with Flor
ida by way Of the national capital have in mind
q highway that will make it optional with the
motorist whether he will drive through or
around cities along the route. Those who want
to get to their ultimate destination will find
their progress expedited and their trip made
more comfortable. The others will be denied
mo sightseeing privileges.

Keeping a Clear Desk
New York SUM

The appearance Of the desk has been moot
point among business men since modern eff
cheney first became fetish in modern business.
Some argue that desk kept constantly clean
ribs the brain of inconsequential details that
should be left to secretaries, filing clerks and
the like and hence saves the brain for heavy
plotting against competition Others argue that
the clean desk becomes so impressive a desid-
eratum that it overshadows important business
that cluttered desk might represent
Junior executives are as divided as those who
dictate policies. Some reason that cluttered
desk indicates hard and conscientious work to
the boss, while the opposition argues that the
boss might think such desk indicates in
efficiency.
The staff Of prominent advertising agency
in New York loses no sleep over such academic
discussion. One of the big boss sidekicks thus
explained the staff's method:
1.-THE boss desk is always piled high with we
know not what. He will not let any one, even
his private secretary, rearrange or touch a
thing. He insists that everything on the desk
is important and that he knows just where to
find anything on it that he wants and that all Of
it is pending When the boss goes out of town
for few days, though, we get to work. We
sweep everything into the waste paper baskets
regardless. It would waste too much time to
go through it and check up on what is really
important. When he returns, he finds ship

thing cleaned up-and never misses thing

WASHINGTON
LETTER M

"First, the typical blue sky law
prohibiting sale Of securities inside
the state unless they or the sellers
qualified under the law. Some
laws require that both seller and
securities be qualified.
Second, the fraud law, by which
the attorney general, being advised
that fraudulent stocks are being
sold. is authorized to prosecute the
crooks"
But the crooks, Denison explains,
have taken to the mails and even to
the telephone and telegraph. BY
operating from one state and doing
business by mail in another they
are engaged in interstate commerce
and SO can't be touched by state
laws. For instance, swindlers may
establish headquarters in Camden,
N. j., and operate across the river
in Philadelphia, or from st. Louis
into Illinois without interference.
Congress alone may control inter-
state commerce.
Fake oil companies in Texas and
fake mining companies in Nevada
are doing an enormous business
through the mail. Denison says.
These nulct a great part of the
annual swindling toll, estimated as
high as $1,400, 0OO,O0 Fake oil
and mining stock has generally dis
placed fake automobile and chain
sto- stock in the public's affec-
tions.
"Men are in business selling
sucker lists to these companies =
Denlson says.
"Those lists bring high prices.
They are composed mostly of
widows and comparatively poor
persons of little business cxpe-
rience. AS long as their money
holds out, many victims fall again
and again. Desperate from one
loss, and ashamed to tell about it,
they try to recoup when the next
glib swindler makes his propo-
sition.

people right in this House Office
Building. If all the victims squeal-
ed in unison, we would make this

of mail, containing many sad and
tragic stories, from those who have
been bitten"
Meanwhile, his bill not being
passed, Denison advises anyone
