BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American

Medical ASS0C14tlQn)
A man running q mile race cannot
continue at top speed for the entire
distance. Neither can man doing
manual labor work at the absolute
maximum Of his energies for long
period.
The reasons for this are obvious.
The body wears down much more
rapidly at maximum effort than 1t
can be repaired. Thus, we run IN
debt" until the unusual exertion IS
lover.
In the case Of the longer runs IN
|a track meet, runners recognize this
and develop their timing to the point
that they know just how long to
sprint, how long to run easily and
how long to sprint again at the I'm
ish.
When the runner misjudges these
distances, we usually have the spec
tacle Of q man ending his sprint be-
fore he crosses the finish line and
coming in at little more than a walk.
All races for more than 40 yards
are done with a quick start, a slower
middle run" and a sprint at the end.
Psychologists have measured the
maximum capacity Of the body by
testing the runner. A trained run
ner does not exhaust himself COM
pletely in any race up TO 200 yards.
He begins to be exhausted at 800
yards and the 440-yard run, or a
quarter-mile run, Is enough to COM
pletely exhaust even q firSt-claSs
Splinter. Obviously the amount Of

work and the speed Of the perfor.
nance depend on the training and
on the ability Of the tissues to utilize
oxygen and to get rid OF waste ron-
ucts.
Furthermore, the fatigue in some
one part of the body may be reflected
in other portions.
Continued use of the legs to the
point of exhaustion in any type OF
work or play will interfere with ac-
curate and speedy work by the arms
and hands. If muscles are used to
the point of fatigue, stiffness and
soreness will develop and then fol-
lows swelling of the muscles and even
breaking of the individual fibers with
the appearance of what athletes call
charley horse"
The person who is trained in ply
steal efforts knows how to use his
tissues to the best advantage. He
does this by keeping his oxygen
debt" as low as possible. The maxi
mum of oxygen taken in is reached
usually from two to three minutes
after the beginning of work.
Once this point is reached, 1t is
possible to work harder and faster,
hence anyone about to engage in a
severe muscular performance may
breathe rapidly and deeply five or
six times before starting, and warm
up by proper exercises. The warm
ing up process is regularly INDUCED
in by prizefighters, baseball players,
chorus girls. and others about to SUBJ
NIT their muscular systems to severe
strain.

An Appallinr Toll

Nearly all industrial eye accidents
are preventable. Yet more than 1000
American workmen lose the sight Of
one or both eyes each year through
accidents, and more than 100000 suf-
fer less serious injuries to their eyes.
In fact, more people are permanently
robbed Of their sight by occupational
hazards than through any other single
cause.
These facts were brought out the
other day by speakers at safety con-
ference held In New York under the
auspices of the National Society for
the Prevention of Blindness; and they
deserve the earnest attention of en-
ployers and employees everywhere.
Safety education campaigns among
workers can do much to cut down this
toll. In some plants, too, it has been
found advantageous to order all work
ers to wear goggles. But whatever
needs to be done, 1t is obvious that
both labor and management must
tackle the problem together. The
present toll is an appalling one.

New York, March Nv he n
George Arliss' newest picture, 1.-THE
Man Who Played God," was flashed
upon the nations screens recently
there were those who noticed an in
teresting parallel between scenario
and reality.
In the film story is a fine and loyal
bond between master and valet. In
Arliss' own life there is Arliss and
there is the ever-faithful Jenner.
For 20 years, the valet had served
the actor and from the Hollywood
lots have come many tales Of the
watchful care exerted by the servant.
He is veritable nursemaid, admon-
ishing the veteran player when he
works too hard: getting him to work

A Matter of Note
But one Of the most unusual bits
of chatter going about New York
concerns Toscanini, the great Italian
symphonic director - perhaps the
greatest in the world.
1t is generally known in musical
circles that Toscanini conducts with
out music. Each program is a pride
full matter of memory with this
genius. After the unpleasant ex-
perience with Mussolini while in his
homeland last summer, Toscanini re-
turned and took up the baton in
Carnegie Hall. He had many wor-
ries and some slight attacks Of illness

we are beginning to build a new and
homogeneous nation. The day Is not
far distant in America when certain
inequalities, which were taken for
granted in the past, will have disap-
peared. They will no longer be tole-
rated. There will be new opportun-
ity and new freedom. more education
and better, happier homes.
Some Of the nations leaders had

Presidential Primaries
New York TimeS)

The beginning OF the PRESIDENTIAL
primary season in New Hampshire
tomorrow may recall to the minds of
elderly politicians and reformers the
rapid growth and decline of this Off
spring of the direct primary move
ment or mania. The first presiden-
tial preference law was passed in
1910 by Oregon, the home of all
radical political thought that isn't
sheltered by Wisconsin. Half a dozen
states followed the next year; three
more in 1918. In Georgia and Flor
ida optional Democratic preferential
primaries were provided for. Be-
tween 1912 and 1916 nine states
treated themselves to this modern
luxury. The Taft Roosevelt row and
its afterclaps had a great deal to do
with its adoption. In some cases the
statutes, framed for a particular
state Of affairs and slyly amended
by the machine, proved to be more
or less equivocal and ill-suited to
later situations.
The variations from state to state
make a general view of the system
difficult. Many anomalies and alb
surdities were inevitable. These are
most apt to be found in states where
conventions choose the delegates and
the popular preference as indicated
by the primary may be scoffed at by
the gods of the machine. Thus, in
1920, the understanding Hiram
Johnson was the darling of the North
Carolina Republican primary. The
state convention cynically endorsed"
a favorite son. In the national con-
vention Hiram got one vote on the
first ballot. For whatever reason,
process which at one time seemed
likely to spread over the country has
been stagnant since 1916. Iowa and
Minnesota repealed their presidential
primary laws after the election of
that year. Since then five other
states have withdrawn from the
oracle of the peoples will.
Presidential primaries in one form
or another survive in II states.
What would candidates do without
them? Strung along from early
March to June, they make the edge
Of interest and expectation keen.
They are a constant advertisement
and means Of propaganda. Each
primary Is to have its moral effect
on some other primary and increase
or diminish So-and-So's prospects.
II . candidate can make "a good
showing" in some state conceded to
an opponent, great is the rejoicing
Of his friends. These primaries are
paddocks, proving grounds, trial
tracks. They are q lot Of other things
useful to politicians and their game.
In the happy regions where they are
open 70 Ill they prevent an unhealth-
1ul excess Of partisanship. They are
always . fine, and sometimes an
amulins, show, and they may be po-
tent on the fortunes Of candidates;
but they have fallen far from the
high destiny dreamed for them 20
years ago.

And Conpressmen Tremble

And congressman 1reH'Dle
Many a political die will be cast
when the roll is called In the ma
tional congress today OH the Beck
with.Linthicum resolution which
would toss the question of prohibl-
ton back to the states.
That the measure will be defeated
is q foregone conclusion and It's
sponsors are fully aware Of the fact.
Nevertheless, this vote will do many
things and first among them Will be
to force every congressman to stand
I'D and be counted. 1t will be the
first clear-cut issue on prohibition
in congress since the Volstead act
was enacted.
To be sure, every congressman Will
have the opportunity of lodging the
issue and failing to vote, but those
who do SO will no longer be able to
conceal their tinaidity on the ques-
ton. and this fact alone may cause
many a head, either wet or dry, to
fall in subsequent elections.
On the whole the nation probably
will welcome presentation of the
matter as a clean-cut issue. Many
Americans have definite and differ
ing views on prohibition but, as
Americans, they will generally agree
that it is best to have the fight IN
the open If there must be one. And
it has been increasingly evident for
several years that the issue could not
be evaded indefinitely.
In considering the news on the
vote, when it comes, it should be kept
in mind that the vote will be taken,
not on the resolution itself but on a
motion to discharge the judiciary
committee from the bill and bring 1t
to the floor. From a parliamentary
standpoint this is equivalent to vot-
ing on the bill.
The resolution proposes to amend
the constitution and hence requires
a two-thirds vote, whereas the vets
do not even hope for a majority. If
it passed house and senate it would
require ratification by conventions of
delegates especially elected for the
purpose in three fourths Of the states
before the 18th amendment could be
changed so as to permit each state
to regulate the liquor problem in its
own way.
The resolution would amend the
amendment to empower congress to
regulate or prohibit by federal law
as it liked but would allow each state
to authorize and regulate ,nanufac-
ture and sale within its own borders.
Through electing delegates to the
special convention, the people them
selves would in effect have a wet
dry referendum.

The Naval Construction Bill


The Senate Naval Committee has
approved the ssSo,ooO,ooO construction
bill brought in by Chairman Frederic
Hale of Maine, and early passage by
the Senate has been forecast by po-
litical leaders in Washington.
It is worth remembering. however,
that this is not an appropriation bill.
Passing it does not mean that Uncle
Sam is Immediately committed to the
expenditure of all that money. In
fact-judging by the comments some
senators made about passing the bill
in order to strengthen the hands of
the American delegation at Geneva
one might wonder whether the bill
were not bluff.
II we actually 60 ahead and appro-
pirate money for that amount of con-
struction, it will mean that we have
lost all faith in armament reduction
plans. Spending just under billion
dollars on new fighting ships is not
exactly a pacific gesture.
