CIRCULATION OF BLOOD FLUIDS
AFFECTED BY UPRIGHT POSTURE
Persons With Fat, Flabby Legs Likely to Have More
Swelling Than Those With Small Ankles

OF particular interest is the effect
Of standing erect upon the legs. Spe-
cial studies were made as to this
point. The amount Of fluid was
tested not only in the individual ly-
ing on his back for 40 minutes but
also in the same individual after
standing erect for various lengths of
time. It was found that contraction
or relaxation of the muscles results
in emptying and filling the veins of
the legs and that this is associated
with shrinkage and swelling. When
the person stands erect the increased
pressure in the legs causes fluid to
pass through the walls of the capil-
laries or small blood vessels into
lymph spaces. The amount Of swell
ing that can take place is limited.
When the lymph spaces have been
filled there is a tendency for the
back pressure to cause the blood to
pass back into the vessels. Thus an
individual with fat, flabby legs will
tend to have more swelling after
standing a long time than one with
thin and tightly knit ankles and
calves. A person in good athletic
training will tend to have less swell
ing than one who Is in poor general
condition.
The swelling of the legs is great
est in people who are tall, in poor
general condition, and with fat flabby
legs, and least in those who are short.
in good training, and with tightly
knit ankles and calves.

P~erplexing Situation

Mtssouris congressional election
divides the membership of the house
of representatives evenly between the
Republicans and Democrats. One
lone Farmer = Labor representative
holds the balance of power at this
writing. Congressional elections
which must come within the next
few weeks may settle the matter Of
balance of power more definitely and
place the responsibility in n of the
major parties.
The major parties each have 2l4
members. It was expected that Mis-
souri, would send a Democrat, for the
mar elected last Tuesday succeeds a
Democrat. The significant thing
about the Missouri election. however,
is that the Democrat al returned
by a majority much in excess OF what
normally obtains in that district. Po-
litical dopesters have sought to de-
duct that many Of Republican per-
suasion had turned to the Demo-
cratic party in that district as a pro-
test against President Hoover.
OF course no one can tell that def
ritely, but increased majorities in an
off year congressional election are OF
more than passing Importance and
ANYTHING unusual in the returns
starts a flood Of speculation. It is
very easy. however. to exaggerate
these political trends and the Mis-
souri, results may or may not indi-
cate a swing away from President
Hoover.
There are still six congressional
districts where. special elections must
be held before the next session con-
venes. Four of these are normally
Republican and two Democratic. Tn
these districts the battle for control
hinges, and in any event, no matter
what the outcome, neither party will
have many votes to play on in the
next congress.

@!ga Gilbert Swan

New York, Oct. 5.-Pie is suddenly
staging a tremendous comeback In
| Manhattan.
Whatever tears may have been
shed over the much discussed de-
preston, 1t seems to me that some
lusty cheers should be let loose over
the renaissance Of good old plebian
pie.
Elsewhere In the land, pie may
have held its own with other dishes
on the menu But in those days
when everyone had easy money in
his Jeans, desserts went suddenly
ritzy. I have wandered into one
place after another and called plain
lively for pie, only to have my appe-
tite insulted by some soggy mess for
| which / had to pay from two-bits up.
You know the sort of pie I mean:
that undernourished variety with the
upper crust caved in at the chest and
leaning on the undercrust for sup
port.
But wandering along the streets
these days, you'll see the side street
restaurants and the front street cafes
fairly screeching with signs adver-
Using pie for "five cents per cut"
And ten cents, II you get it a la
mode. And the samples shown in
neat glass cases reveal a grand old
puffy hunk. Even the swankier
places. where all the desserts ap-
peared in French, italian and way
languages, have swung into line.
And when New York goes back to
! pie, it seems to me there's some hope
for the land.
The sudden discovery of show
stopping young hooters who have
been hiding away somewhere in these
! United States Is one of the sensa-
tional features of the Broadway sea-
| son.
The manner in which these young
sters have stepped on stage, without
| previous fanfare, and tied up some
big-league show with their nimble
feet is nothing short of spectacular.
To date, there have been three such
discoveries, and there are a couple
| more I've heard about but haven't
had time to look in upon. Thus, Flo
| Ziegfeld started things off by intro
ducing Hal lie Roy, the Cincinnati
lad, into the company of Ruth Eft
ting, Harry Richman and other stars.
Yet, despite his spot" on the pro-
| gram, the youngster became the talk
of the show.
It was then whispered that George
White would have something to write
home about. He trotted out Ray Boil
ger, who has been about the stage

Medical Association

It has long been known that the
gradual change Of the position Of
man from that Of a ~four-footed ami
NAL to one that walks on two feet
brought about significant changes in
the activities of the tissues within
the body. DR.. r. l.. Waterfield has
shown that definite changes take
place in the amount of fluid circu-
lating in the blood with q change in
posture.
Formerly, it has been shown that
If an individual remained stationary
in the erect posture the total amount
of blood volume gradually diminished
for about half an hour, when it
reached a constant level approx
mately IL per cent less than when
the individual lies down. In the erect
posture there is a diminution in the
amount Of water and Of other sub
stances in the circulation. It has
been thought that this was due to
filtering of these substances through
the blood vessel walls, because Of the
increased pressure on them when the
individual stands erect.
DR.. Waterfield found that these
observations were correct, and that
not only is the fluid matter Of the
blood less when the individual Is
erect for any length of time, but that
also the blood cells become four per
cent less.

Has Come and Gone

Arthur C. ToWnley, candidate for
president, was a Valley City visitor
yesterday. and spoke from a car or
the street in front of the Kindred
hotel, ~broadcasting his talk from a
microphone. Mr.. Townley was not
greeted by any crowd but there were
a few stragglers who listened to what
he had to say respectfully and with
out in any way attempting to cur
tail what he had to say. The police
did not interfere with him at all, in
fact our police. and the people gen.
orally, believe in free speech so long
as it is not treaSonable-we would
not for a minute consent to any COM
munist coming in here to make a
soap box address in which he is be-
lifting the government and breathing
red treason and disloyalty-but IN
ToWnley's case he only put forth his
views on government and while they
are somewhat radical from what we
think is right, he said nothing that
could be termed treasonable-he made
a ten minute talk. A. E. Bowen,
noted socialist and part Of the Town
ley machine in the good old new
day" regime when A.. G. was en-
peror of us all by force and not by
reason or right-but because the new
day. vas forced upon Is in a mo-
ment of hysterical unreason-Bowen
took up the meager collection, and
the two folded up their microphone
andAleft for Jamestown.
Now at jamestown they did things
differently and to our notion wrong
fully. They refused to let MI. Town
ley talk on the street and pulled him
from the top of his wagon. and he
then was followed to the Stutsman
county courthouse where he adj
dressed several hundred people. It
is stunts pulled off by authorities
like that that have a tendency to
breed socialism and unrest-and that
is what happened in the days when
the league was at its zenith Of power,
Somebody told the farmers to 90
home land slop your hogs" and they
went to the ballot box and stopped
not only their hogs but the politi-
clans who told them to do that-lt
was a protest by the farmers, and a
stunt like that at Jamestown yester-
day gave Townley another great
talking point to broadcast to the
world-that the bosses will not give
people a hearing. 1t was short
! s!ghtedness, to say the least.
We have been getting this sort Of
thing too often-the overriding OF
the peoples will as expressed at the
polls and elsewhere. Just think this
over.

A week later when Bob called to

he promised them q surprise. Over
the telephone he refused to explain
further but half an hour later he

him and Norma agreed. Then they
went into the building.
On a Sunday afternoon 10 days
later Farrell took the girls for q
second drive. Then as the days be-
came warmer he dropped into the
habit Of coming around oftener.
The second week in May there was
a terrific and unreasonable hot
spell. A drive in the open country
after sunset was a blessed relief.
Bob's coupe drew up before the
apartment almost every evening.

because Chris and Norma spent al.
most every evening in each others

she thought Bob should discontinue

The last week In August had

before the open window trying to
get q breath Of cool air one evening

Grafton of Labor which Monday be-
gins its annual convention at Van

There al be no doubt of the beau
ty of the prospect which the big la
Dor organization holds forth, and yet
it is doubtful If the Federation can
show the way to really bring it
about.
Generally speaking, the executives
of business and industry have prob
lens fully as pressing as those of the
labor leaders and they are fully as
anxious as the labor unions to see
full payrolls, high wages and rapid
circulation of the dollar once more.
Any employer with brains in his head
and a heart in his breast prefers
workmen who are happy and con-
tented and who are not called upon
to work too hard or too long. Dc
spite wise-cracks which would give a
contrary impression, the business
leaders of America are inclined to be
Just as humane as the labor leader,
the worker at his lathe or bench, Or
the farmer. They are just human
beings and most of them remember
the hard paths which they trod OIL
their journey to commercial, indus
trial or financial eminence. And, be-
sides, whenever they are tempted to
forget the paths by which they did
ascend they probably have enough
poor relatives and friends to remind
them often enough of how the other
half of the world lives and of the
problems which the so-called COM
mon people face.
Given this situation, then, it seems
only reasonable that the manage
ments of the great corporations will
heed labor's plea if labor can show a
feasible way.
