Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Coming through the woods
tawny dust, soft as pollen,
purting like smoke before my
feet-I come to a certain turn
in the trail and stop. Here the
lights a syrup, honey gold.
Pines, rise, dark as thunder, on
their coppery shafts. Oak
leaves bleach and gather in pale
coral drifts. Shadows fall
splattered wine on ochre earth.
Above, through tunneled twi-
light, there's a glaze Of blue.
But better even than the color,
more poignant and personal, Is
the smell Of the manzanita.
Always at this point in the
trail there is a fruitiness like
dried apples in the air. Unless
you know the secret you would
never connect this rich frag-
rance with the manZanita. For,
at this level Of the Sierras the
manzanita is not a slightly bush.
It lacks the waxy beauty Of the
Iowland madrones, with their
vanished red trunks and glossy
leaves, and the small, neat love
illness of the shrubs on the
heights. It is, here, a rangy
creature-shaggy bark and
catch.as-catch-can foliage. II
it smelled of anything, you'd
expect plug cut. But instead
it has the perfume Of pot.

Nor Is this the only frag-
rance. Indeed, all the trail is
perfumed. There is the pitchy
redolence Of the pineS-the
sachet of the oaks-the pun
gent musk Of mountain mis-
ery"-and, in the fall, like a
thick, amber tide. the flooding
odor of the tar weed. In looks,
the tar weed is even more dis
reputable than the manzanita.

is no name.
But quicker and more sig.

No automobile has tainted it.

SECRETSOF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

10y D1S 1VWhS 4]s OAS~AS
The circulation Of the blood
is, Of course, one Of the mar
vels Of the human body.
The existence Of such o Cir
culation was discovered by Har-
vey in 1923.
When one stops to consider
the fact, it is interesting to
note that the blood always
flows in one direction. Arteries
and their finer branches carry
blood away from the heart,
while veins carry it toward the
heart.
The breaking up or reverse
flow Of blood is controlled by
valves in the veins.
When blood enters the right
chamber Of the heart-the right
auricle-it flows next into the
right ventricle. From there 1t
flows into the pulmonary ar.
terry and into the lungs.
In the lungs the blood gives
up it's waste, carbon dioxide,
and takes on o fresh supply Of
oxygen.
From the lungs pulmonary
veins carry the blood to the
left auricle Of the heart. Next
1t flows into the left ventricle.
And from the left ventricle
it is pumped through q large
artery, called the aorta, and
so it is made to flow through
smaller and smaller arteries
throughout the body.
Finally the blood is collected
again by the veins, and eventu-
ally it gets into the large yes.
sells, the superior and inferior
venal cavae, and by them is
conducted into the right auricle
Of the heart.
There are, therefore, really
two calculations. One Is the
lung, Of pulmonary circulation;
the other, the body, or systemic
circulation.
These two circulations are
going on at one and the same
time, and are possible beceuSe
Of the pumping action Of the
heart.
The heart pumps at the rate
Of about % strokes each
minute, day I'm and day cut.

salute me with their living
breath. And to me these
various aromas are like diT-
ferent voices, different perso-
nalities. For all living things
have perSonalitieS-weedS and
trees as well as men. And ir-
deed I think these forest crea.
lures have the lovelieSt and
truest Of all personalities. They
live honestly, without borrow
ing or pretense, rooted in soil,
giving themselves freely to the
sun and wind, the rain and
snow. Theirs are the simplest
and most fundamental Of ex.
periences-but out Of these
common processes, each one
distills its own particular ex.
preston, different from all
others.
rev human beings are wise
or brave enough to do that.
We make a great clamor about
personality, but we seldom dare
to grow our own. We are IN
terror Of being ourselves
afraid someone may discover
that we are nothing but scrub
oak or tar weed. We feel we
must contrive, by hook or
crook, to be taken for orchids
or gardeniaS. So we copy and
pretend and mimic-and end
up by being a synthetic combi'
nation that God wouldn't recog-
nize as His child!

.mer 1929 by A. H. Orlebar, who
flew four times around three
k1lometer course, at an average
speed Of 357.7 miles an hour!
Modern business, the ire
mendous strain of economic
competition, the vast cost of
time are largely responsible for
the great speeding UP of all
forms of traffic.
Think of the great monetary
saving affected by cutting off
eight hours from the time for
merly consumed in crossing the
Atlantic, say from Hamburg to
= New York City! Air mail, and
eventually air express, air
freight and air transportation
generally will fully demonstrate
the incalculable financial gain
Of cutting more than three days
from the time formerly required
to cross the American conti-
nent.
The steady increase in speed
In transportation, throughout
the past century is staggering.
Is it possible to attain much
higher speed? Perhaps not
much higher on land, nor very
much higher on water. But in
the air the possibilities are i'm

The deer fly is known to fly

The day will come, perhaps

arrow Of the air?

city In the nation.
The writer, however, is Of the
opinion that the residents Of
Washington display q very small
interest in things aeronautical
at least the general public
does.
For example, the start Of
one Of the most important air
races ever held In the Capital
took place last week at the
Washington airport. Six young
women, including one Washing
ton miss, entered the Woman's
Dixie Air Derby, which ter1ni-
mated in Chicago.
At the time the half dozen
planes took off, there were at
the most only 500 persons pres
ent to witness this big aviation
event. T have seen the advent

More Speed But Why?
By Archibald Henderson

America is said to be the
land Of speed. The foreigner,
on arriving in New York city,
feels himself caught and pro-
PEELED at greatly heightened
speed, as If dragged by some
giant undertow.
America revels in efficiency
and energy, and one of the
accompanimentS must be speed.
There is something exhilarating
in the mere sensation of rapid
advance. It is essentially en-
joyable, even If we are not par
ticularly concerned about either
destination or arrival.
The spectacle of the speedy
airplane, hydroplane, or motor
car, skilfully propelled by a
demon driver, annually fur
nishes delight to millions of
spectators.

attained by many railroad
trains.
The fastest time for q boat
is around 95 miles an hour
almost half again as fast as

The late Major Fl. o. ..
Segrave won knighthood and
International fame by driving
an automobile at 231.36 miles

CLANCY did not depend on
good looks, as do a great many

not a great lover. He did not
register because he played upon
the emotions of the masses, as
did the participants in the war
pictures.

As to that, the man would
be a chump if he did other
wise. For as a get.rich-quick
enterprise, he has Walling'
ford fit to be tethered.

He is averaging $4,000 a week
by doing nothing constantly, ana
the life of Reilly is bed OF cut
glass, by comparison.
Here are some of the figures on
his racket:
Average daily receipts at Still
mans gymnasium here, of which
he cuts SO per cent. $1,100.
Total for four days Of training
III Chicago. $1,000.
-Four Chicago hotels bidding for
his patronage while there.
Total of purses for two fights,
lasting all told / minute and 81
seconds, $4,000.
Probable purse in Newark to-
night, $4,000.
So, like the old circus which
played its towns on the hole-in-
one system because it never hoped
to come back, Primo is giving
the boys a lot of high-pressure
business as long as they will
stand for it, after which it looks
as though the poor fellow will
have to go to work. They told
Chicago, for instance, that they
would be back to fight Won Porat
but forgot to say when. They
have been. equally vague about
their intentions toward Campolo
or Godfrey here and I guess this
is all right. at that, for the affair
is strictly shot for the great
outdoors, where a man can fall
with some degree of safety.
In fact, I'm not so sure
that the whole program isn't
all right, so long as everybody
thinks it is. The boys don't
have to attend.
On the contrary, they can stay
away in a very marked manner
and nothing can be done about
it. The constitution. is quite
specific on this point.
AS for the Newark enterprise
this evening, it has been set for
10 rounds, proving that the pro-
moters are men of vision or
something. They will need
plenty of vision if they see any.
