QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Soothing and Calming


 have been doing your belly breathing exer- else every night for several months I find it quite all you suggested for I have been poor sleeper for years and especially about composing myself to get to sleep when I go to bed. This stunt of yours really seems to bring delightful sense of relaxation and calm and I generally drop off before I get to the tenth breath . :.
 c. T. A.) AnsWer.-Right you You see, natural breathing tends to lower blood pressure, equal ize circulation, the feet and everything. It is much better bedtime diversion than count ing sheep jumping through the wall or thinking of to-day's troubles or to-morrow's tasks.

According to an estimate of Dr Stephen J. Maher, chairman of the state tuberculosis commission, there are 10000 cases of tuber- culosis in Conneotout with only l200 of these being cared for in state sanatoria. Long waiting lists at each institution add to the worries of the commission and the heads of the five state sanatoria located at Hartford, Meriden, Norwich. Shelton and Mantle. The opening of one wing of the Waterbury Isola- ton hospital by the local Anti I tuberculosis association and use of the old veterans hospi- tai at Arlington. West Haven, for similar purposes has aided the cause considerably, but there is still room for improvement A gi- gantic expansion program, involving almost S5.00O,00O. is suggested by Dr Maher as the only solution. This would permit the state to expand the present sanatoria, im- prove facilities, and provide room for future expansion. We don't suppose for one instant that the legislature will consider appropriat- ing so much money for state sanatora. In past years they have been forced to get along as best they might, And with recent addl- tions considered adequate by some legislators what can be done about it other than keep up the treess demand for bigger and better SanatOra.

Some legislator from New London county is expected to present the measure which has been advocated by the state park and forest commission and which also has private back ing throughout the state. Purchase of the tract of land would enable the state to create another seashore park. similar to Hammonas- sett Beach Rocky Neck includes one-haf mile of shore frontage. Once upon time the state conducted fish hatchery there. The land is now owned by ten individuals who will consider it's sale to the state for park purposes. Two years ago the legislature passed up chance to acquire the site. We hope that this year there will be legislators inclined to vote for its acquisition

Physicians all over the nation will well come the news that efforts are being made to remove restrictions on the distribution of prescription liquor. It was recommended in the Wickersham report and Senator Copeland of New York has embodied the recommen- dation in d bill which he has just introduced in the senate. Dr Copeland believes that re- moval of all restrictions would tend to ob- literate resentment that the medical profession holds No doctor cares to combine clerical
 or police duties with those of his profession. If he is over conscientious that is what the prohibition laws force him to do. Here is an opportunity for local, county, state. and na- tonal medical organizations to take action.

ADMISSION OF MICHIGAN

ADMISSION OF MICHIGAN On Jan. 26, 1887, after a long argument over boundaries, Michigan was admitted to the Union.
 Admission might have been grant ed earlier but for Michigan's dis pute with Ohio concerning the south ern boundary. There was danger at first that this dispute would lead to bloodshed, but in 1886 congress agreed to admit Michigan upon con dition that she surrender her claim to the disputed territory and accept in lieu thereof larger area in the upper peninsula.
 The first convention called to con slider this proposal, Jan. 26, 1886. rejected it, but it was accepted by second in December of the same year. Michigan was admitted to the Union a month later. Michigan has consistently sup ported the republican party, except for three lapses-in 1882 and 1885.
 when the democrats and greenback party in fusion elected their candi- date for governor, and in 1890. when
 the democrats alone carried the state.

Central Park vandalism is so great that ex tra police protection is being demanded. Eighty guards are asked to aid in policing this valuable piece of New York property. Trees have been killed, shrubs uprooted and stolen and the parks sprinkling system depleted of its brass fittings. We'll, in big city like New York, with so many races mingled, some thing like that can be expected However at that rate there won't be much actual park left in few more years.

FIGHT FLOODS

CHILL1COTHE, Ohio, Dec. Is
GN.SD.-Cold weather helped
Ohio today in it's battle to stave
off damage from threatened
floods.
The abrupt drop in tempera-
lures, Signalling the end of the
rain, gave promise of freezing
some of the smaller streams
which have been pouring water
into the Scioto, Muskingum,
Licking and Hooking rivers.
At least one death was caused
indirectly by the high water.
Thomas Carlos, 43, a miner, was
trapped in his automobile near
Martins Ferry, and died,
asphyxiated by exhaust fumes.
Rising waters forced County
Coroner j. w. Neal and the
miners wife to climb to the top
of their automobile. Many
motorists we're reported to have
abandoned their cars.

The question Of building the

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. Dec. Is
UN.S0.-The tempestuous Pola
Negri, of film fame, shook her
pretty head today and stamped
her feet when asked if she were
engaged again.
Pola, in fact, was irate when
informed there were reports link
ing her name with Capt. John
Loder, an Englishman, pow act
ing in Hollywood. and said:
"The report . out LOder is
absolutely ridiculous"
OF course, studio gossip leaned
in the other direction, but there
was little beyond the fact that
the two had been seen together
to give the reported engagement
authenticity.
A studio official said:
Eyes, POla'S pretty friendly
with LOder, all right, and
they've been seen together al
most daily for weeks.
OAd udu pAdNHCU 10 leave
today for New York City, but
she will remain in Hollywood
until the latter part of the
week to preview her latest pic
ture."
Loder may accompany Miss
Negri to New York City to pass
the Christmas holidays, it was re,
ported.
Miss Negri has been married
and divorced three times. Her
three husbands were not Ameri-
cans.
When Rudolph Valentino, her
fiance. died, the thrice-wed Pola
brought his body from New York

surveyed a huge pile Of COM

The danger of children being
bitten and knocked down by

dog-owners who protest that
"F'ido wouldn't hurt a fly"
Parents complains about dogs,

FREEDOM DASH

65-Year.0Id Prisoner Gets
Pneumonia; LeavenWorth
QueIIS New Mutiny

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Dec.
Is (I.N.S. ).-Beneath the calm,
gray surface of prison routine
today, a murmur of suppressed
resentment ran through the
ranks of the Federal peniten-
tiary's 5000 convicts.
Although the institution main
tanned complete control Of the
troublous situation, the vigilance
of the guards was sharpened to
quell any further rebellicus out
breaks.
Ill of Pneumonia
In the prison hospital lay Earl
Thayer, 65-year-old mail train
robber, whose fugitive liberty out
lasted that of his six younger
companions who participated in
last Fridays bloody break for
freedom.
The aged prisoner was battling
for life against the ravages Of
pneumonia caused by the hunger
and exposure of his three.day lib
Grafton. He was also suffering
from the effects of drinking de-
natured alcohol.
THE 65-year-old man lasted
longer than any of them" he re-
marked when informed of the fate
of his six accomplices, three of
whom died by their own hands in
besieged farmhouse. The re-
naming three we're captured and
returned after a gun battle.
Bates Directs Probe
Meanwhile, the investigation of
fridays break proceeded under a
heavy cloak of secrecy. Supervis-
ing the inquiry was Sanford Bates,
superintendent of Federal prisons,
who came here from Washington
With his assistant, A. H. MacCor-
mick.
Bates and MacCormick we're
within the prisons confines when
the din of convictS' shouts and
curses filled the cells and work
houses. The outbreak originated
in one of the boiler rooms when
a working crew of 20 inmates sud-
denly refused to work, loudly COM
planning about the food. The
boiler crew was quickly subdued.
All convicts we're locked in and
all work suspended.
The disorders spread from the
boiler room to other sections of
the huge prison. Violent screams
and threats internationally pune
tuated the yammering of sullen
convicts until the bedlam finally
exhausted itself.

(I.N.S.). - Last nigh t we
started our sixth session and
thirty-fourth rubber with 4,S4O
points against us, and, although
Messrs. LEM and Jacoby are
powerful opponents, we were
not even worried.

have in a manner to shake any
self-respecting professor of mathe-
matics.
Five Rubbers and Lead
We started the play with the
modest hope of chseling down
our opponents lead by a couple
of thousand points-and would
have been satisfied had we even
gained but a few hundred-and
then we won six straight rub
bers, which wiped out the 4,o40-
point lead and, with the aid of
Mr.. Jacoby's set of two on the
first hand of the last rubber, gave
us plus 845.
It was a very exciting moment
for all the newspaper men and
exalted kibitzers.
Again I felt a commotion be-
hind the sacred screen, excited
whispers sounded almost like
roar, and once more my husband
ruthlessly ordered the room
cleared. The brave old master,
Mr.. Lenz, cracked a few jokes
and I almost wished they would
win a little rubber.
Ely Cautions Wife
Before the next deal, my hus-
band, with his uncanny percep-
ton of what is going on in
another's mind, feverishly scrib-
bled a note which he passed to
me. I read:
