SECRETS OF

TINE heart lie the organ we think
L. about most. The reason for
this is probably because the heart
is the only organ that seems
to he alive. 1t beats and often
beats so fast as to cause alarm.
Whereas the other organs. al
though equally alive, make no
sound and do not move. so far as
we are aware.
The heart is a muscular organ
and it Is hollow. 1t IL situated
In the chest between the right
and left lungs. above the dia-
rhragm which separates the chest
from the abdominal cavity. and
behind the sternum or breast
bone"
The shape Of the heart Is like
a pyramid. 1t does not lie di.
rectly In the middle OF the chest
as 1t were. but some What to the
left of the mid-line. Further.
more. 1t lies obliauely in the
chest. It's lower end pointing
downward. outward and to the
left.
The heart beat Is felt at its
lower end. As 1t pulsates
against the chest wall 1t can be
detected In the space between the
fifth and sixth ribs and to the
inner side of the left nipple. This
is its normal position, although
variations may occur.
The heart muscle itself is called
the myocardium. This muscle
tissue is very strong and its fl.
bers run from side to side. up
and down, obliquely, and in the
apex or pointed lower end, they
twist and turn in spiral form.
Heart muscle is in a class by it,
self. 1t is neither voluntary or
involuntary. That Is, it is not
the kind of muscle that can be
contracted by an act of the will
nor is it influenced in the same
way by nerves, as Is the intes'
final muscle, for instance. Heart
muscle contracts of and by itself
The heart is surrounded by a
sac called the pericardium. mean
ing literally around the heart. "
Its cavities are lined by a mem
brane called the endocardium. This
is very smooth lining.
Inside the heart there are four
chambers. There is a partition
from top to bottom. dividing the
heart into a right and left portion.
These two sides have no commune
cation with each other aftes birth
but they do before birth by means
of small oval opening,
The right side of the heart con

blood coming from the veins o

contains only ,arterial blood
which comes from the lungs anc

Each half of the heart has two
cavities-an upper, called the aur
icle. and a lower, called the ven
tricle.
The blood flows from the body
into the right auricle, then through
the lungs and back into the lef
auricle. From the left auricle Il
flows through valve into thu
left ventricle. From there #
passes again into the body as
whole.
What enables the blood to flow
this way from one chamber Il

LISTEN WORLD!
Would You Vote to Be Born?
By Elsie Robinson

IF they aren't squabhling over

sensitive, conscientious person can
deliberately subject a poor child
to the misery of this world. have
no children and do not intend to
have any for that reason. I admit
my own life has been quite easy
and pleasant, but when l look
around and see the troubles of
others I know that I would rather
never give a child life than have
him go through it all. And I am
sure that would die a thousand
deaths myself il had to see him
going through it."
Now. undoubtedly many will con-
slider that a mighty noble speech,
but personally / suspect that the
lady is just putting up a high
powered argument to camouflage
her own laZiness and cowardice.
And it wouldn't be worth a mo-
ment's consideration were it not
for the fact that this argument is
becominb the best alihi among our
intelligentsia, for Not Having
Babies.
At this point let's hastily con-
cede their right NOT to have
babies if they don't want EN-. In
fact. I'm all for appointing a COM
mittee to go around and urge
them to abstain from progeny, for
the sake of the children them

LIKE THAT ARE NO TREAT

Finds Mummifcd Goose

MANY a tough old bird has made its APP
pearance on dining room tables, but to
H. d. May of West Yellowstone, Mont,
goes the palm for running across the oldest
fowl, goose he discovered, which proved upon
examination to have been mummifed
- The breast back and entrails of the bird
were nearly intact, with only the head and
feet missing. The feathers have been decom-
posed, leaving small round holes in the pre-
served flesh of the breast side of the body
has broken away showing all the preserved
entrails in their natural position
The entire body presents an appearance re-
sembling chalk.
Park naturalists believe that the bird fell
into marsh the chemical nature of which
served to mummify the bird.

Battling Gard Trick

This card trick is very simple. yet quite
effective.
To perform the trick, you must know what
the fourth card from the top of the pack IS.
After fixing this card in your memory, pre-
tend to shuttle the deck, but do not change
the position of the top four cards This done.
divide the pack into four piles of about equal
size, placing them on the table.
Turning your back, invite spectator to
take the top card from the pile in which you
know the fourth card. and place this top card
anywhere in one of the ether piles. Invite o
second spectator to repeat this action, and
third, and then fourth. This fourth spec
tator will then be taking the card that you
know and hiding 1t in one Of the other piles.
Ask the fourth spectator to remember this
card carefully. and then have somebody
shuttle the pack.
This DONE turn over any two cards in the
deck. make pretence of figuring rapidly and
then announce what the card was that the
fourth spectator looked at. OF course, you
have known this card all along, but this
must not be apparent to your audience, SO put
in plenty of "hocus pocus."
