Exercise and Blood Pressure.


This is the fourth and positively the
last chapter in little story have been
trying to tell folks who have high blood
pressure or a distinct desire to avoid
having it. Really such story should
be told in one installment, but much
experience has taught me that con-
densation is fatal if the purpose is to
get the idea over to the reader. If con-
densation were practiced in the print
ing of news maybe we'd have more
room here for printing health StuH.
At that 1t would be exceedingly inter-
esting to know how readers feel about
this. AS reader would you prefer to
see a little more space devoted to
department such as this-or maybe less?
If more, would you like to see more
queries answered in this column or
longer daily articles? It is difficult to
select Just the right questions to answer
here when there is room to answer
only three or four day, and there are
perhaps three to four hundred queries
to be answered in one way or another.
In short, it would be interesting to learn
whether the paper devotes as much
space to the subject of health as readers
think this subject deserves.
These four talks about high blood
pressure were inspired by a scientific
contribution recently published by DR..
Israel Rappaport in one of the medical
journals. I shall now quote from DR..
Rappaport's highly instructive article:
I'm relating my own clinical expert
ences I can be brief. For nearly two
years have been observing number
of hypertensive patients and have been
struck with the fact that they were all
poor breathers. They showed what !
came to call the low breathing habit.
The features of this phenomenon are a
markedly reduced respiratory rate, pull
monary expansion far below the aver
age and diaphragmatic excursions of
a very restricted type without any
evidence of pulmonary disease to &C
count for it. These patients gave the
impression of having established them
selves at a pulmonary capacity-prob-
ably the mean of their already reduced
respiratory need-so that their reSpira-
tory functions could take place within
a narrow range of respiratory excur.
sions, and even at this point they need
only a reduced number of respiratory
cycles. found, however that it was
possible to correct this anomaly by a
concentrated effort at deep breathing
exercise carried out repeatedly daily
over a period of several months. Con.
siderable increase of spontaneous pull
rnonary expansion could be obtained in
some cases after several weeks of con
scientious breathing exercises. Reduc-
lions of blood pressure levelS-an aver

picking eggs after school. The one who
was colored had won four eggs from the
boy who was matching him. Everything
was perfectly fair and above board, and

of restaurants which have not yet
surrendered to the union in its fight
for the eight-hour day was issued by
Supreme Court Justice Henry L.

That the injunction, through which
the Willow Corporation "legalized"
it's campaign of mass terror and
arrests as part of its attempt to
break the strike will fail completely
is indicated in the courageous at
titude of the strikers. They cannot
let the writ of judge who speaks
for the bosses drive them back to
the 12-hour slavery.
Can't Break Strike.
Since the strike first began in
the garment district the pickets have
been relentlessly slugged, brow
beaten and intimidated by uniformed
and private thugs in the pay of the
cafeteria owners, and the courts as
sist by jailing the victims. Many
strikers are now so well known to
the police that their arrival in the

Frequent Arrests Fail
to Stop Pickets

Four more cafeterias were tied
up yesterday when the Hotel, Res

Union declared strikes against the

254 w. 23rd St.; the Belmore, 543

East 14th St.
100 Per Cent Strike.
The strike at the Marion was 100
per cent effective. Most of the
workers walked out of the other
shops. Inside organizational work
at the New Light shop proved effec-
tive when nearly every worker stood
solid behind the appeal of the strike
committee. The earlier strike at the
New Light, called before the union
completely extended the walkout to
the downtown section, had been only
partially successful.
So frequent have been the arrests
since the strike began, April a, that
many of the pickets, known as pre-

auxiliaries, the private thugs and
detectives, were prevented from
carrying the union "Strike" sign
