Your Health and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

The 440-yard dash never has
been run in less than 46 Sec
onds. The record, when I last
heard it, was At seconds.
The human organism is not
built so that it can move itself
over that distance in any shorter
time. So far as physiologists
can calculate, 46 seconds is al
most the lower limit of possibili-
ties.
The reason is that oxygen
cannot be pumped to the mus
cles rapidly enough to make
them move any faster for more
than 46 seconds. In the news
reels you see a number of pic
lures of runners just after they
have completed their race. The
notable thing will be the almost
painful painting for air. 1t is
lack of air, or oxygen, that ac-
counts for muscle fatigue, and
endurance depends on an ade-
QudIe supply OF oxygen 10 Ille
muscles.
The curve of muscle fatigue
is very definite. If the middle
finger is made to raise weight
on a pulley at regular intervals,
and the weight as it rises writes
a mark on a moving sheet of
paper, the height of the rise
diminishes more and more in
the course of time until the fin
ger cannot move any more.
If, now, period of rest is
taken, and then the moving of
the finger is resumed. the weight
can again be raised as high as
in the original trial. And finally
again fatigue sets in.
1t used to be thought that the

Laurine.

After I went abroad in search
of wild life, 1 acquired the habit
of always carrying a RATA or
Western laSso with me on my
collecting trips. 1t often came
in handy. So there was moth
ing unusual in my getting out
a rope one day aboard cargo
boat on which 1 was returning
from Asia to America with a big
shipment of birds and animals.
1 had just finished inspecting
my floating menagerie, and,
having given my boys, Lal and
Nemsi, their instructions, I
sought relaxation. The idea of
brushing up on my roping haV-
ing occurred to me. I was now
preparing to do that very thing.
First I went through the ia
miliar motions of taking the
kinks out of the rope and Civ
ing it a good Strengthening out.
AS I busted myself with this
task I was greeted by big.
good-natured sailor.
. What do you use that for?"
ne asked.
Seeing no reason for letting
myself in for a recital of my
feats with the rope zone reason
being that I do not consider
myself an unusual hand at
lassoing), I decided to pretend
that I knew nothing about the
art.
The Demonstration
IT suppose it wouldn't be a
bad idea for a man in my
game to know how to use one
of these things" I said. IF
anything got loose I could
lasso it,"
I'm pretty good at it,"
replied the native tar. I'LL show
you how it's done"
A number of sailors crowded
round, as my neW-found friend
whose name proved to be
Curly, a playful commentary,
no doubt, on his bald head
prepared to show me how to
handle a rope.
First you grab it like this"
explained Curly, showing me
how to grip a lasso
Next you swing it over your
head like this" He showed me
what figure two looked like.
Then he asked one of his
pals to serve as a moving
target. Curley's friend COM
piled, running along the deck.
The coWboy-sailor took ten Or
fifteen tries at him, roping
him about once out of every
three attempts-not a bad
average for an amateur roper.
His brother seamen applauded
vigorously every time he got
his man.
Now you try it," he said,

Many people are now in the
midst of a sad situation. They
bought their summer clothes
early, and they got bargains.
Or so they thought. But those
good.looking clothes at SUCH low
prices have all lost their looks
in some strange way. Silk
crepeS have stretched, or lost
their colon in cleaning, no mat
ter how carefully done. Cot
tons have shrunk or have sim
ply worn out. So now we are
left with a wardrobe that didn't
cost so much in the beginning,
but is practically useless now.
A closet full of clothes, and
nothing to wear. There's just
one thing to do, and that is to
fill in from the summer things
still in the stores, and now at
prices marked we'll down.
Buy Conservatively
If we've learned our lesson
we'll, we will get things of as
good quality as possible now,
even if we get only one or
two. Many stores have all sum-
mer stocks marked at half
price, so you can probably find
things now that are really bar
gains. Among the racks, you
can find excellent spectator
sports or general daytime things
that are good looking, but not
so extreme that you can't carry
them over until next summer,
so don't regret the money you
spend on them now. Simple
silk crepes, good Cottons, and
sports silks are sure to be smart
next year, and while carry-overs
may not be your best next sum-
mer, they will give you plenty
of good daily service.
In Women's Sizes
We've picked out a womans
dress for sketching. that has
every good quality for this year,
and nothing to go out of style
so that you can't wear it next
summer too. 1t is of satin
dotted silk crepe, rough but
firm. The revers and surplice
line are becoming to a woman
of any size, and the well-cut
hiplinc assures a good fit. The
short set-in sleeves are much
more practical than any other
type, and are comfortable.
This dress is only $825 now,
which is half it's original price,
and comes in sizes up to 46. Of
course there are plenty of other
types, and other sizes.

muscle generated some sort of
a poison, called the fatigue hor-
none. This idea was entirely
upset by the researches of Hill,
who showed that if an isolated
muscle could be supplied with
enough oxygen it would con-
tinue to contract indefinitely.
Thus the great problem for
the athlete who engages in
gruelling contests, long or short,
is to train his heart and lungs
to supply his muscles with
enough oxygen. The pole
vaulter, the broad jumper, the
shot putter, etc, do not need
endurance so much. They need
something else and must train
their muscles to release an
enormous amount of energy
suddenly. But the runner and
swimmer must train for endur-
ance.

Inscrutable
One dwelt in quiet village ways,
Yet in his soul he longed
For tumult of the wide worlds
maze,
Where life forever thronged.
And though within his circle
small
The creeping years he spent,
He always heard Adventures
call,
With golden promise blent.
He spurned life's barren wastes
of ease,
His thought was tuned to
storm,
The clash of arms, the roar
of seas,
The sudden, swift alarm.
One asked for peace, to dream,
to browse,
To toll through hours bright;
A garden plot, a little house
And stars for friends at night.
The warrior spirit never gained
The shining paths of strife,
Nor was the dreamer's dream
attained
In tranquil fields Of life.
Each went through his allotted

With distance-glamored eyes.
Such are life's ways with every

I took the lariat and tried
four or five careless heaves at
the sailor who had constituted
himself the official taget. All
my tries were misses, of course.
in fact, 1 purposely held the
rope incorrectly each time.

you're not holding it right"
said Curly, resuming his teach

had an amusing draWl that fell
pleasantly on my ear, so I was
trying to drag all the instruc-
ton out of him 1 could.
I grabbed the rope as he sug-
gested, and, as I did, hap
pened to look up. What I saw
gave me something to think
about. A saurus crane, one of
my most precious specimens,
was loose! Across the matches
I could see it striding along
on the other side of the deck,
with Lal and Nemsi "a bushy-
bearded Sikh who came to be
known as Dempsey in careful
and quiet pursuit. They moved
slowly and silently in, the wake
of the valuable bird that had
somehow gained it's freedom.
They had sense enough to know
that if they made a rush for it
they would only Startle the
big wader into flight.
Making as little noise as pos
Sible, I started for the scene.
I had no intention of losing
that crane. He was too fine
specimen and worth too much
money.
Very Careful
Never in all my roping expe-
rience have I handled lasso
with more downright careful.
ness. My throw had to be good.
If 1 missed, the bird would be
in full flight long before I was
ready for another try, and re-
trieving him would be a hope
less proposition.
The crane, startled by the
whirr of the rope, spread out
his wings-a full-groWn Saurus
crane like this one is eight to
nine feet from tip to tip-and
started over the rail. BY the
time I had worked up Suffi-
cient momentum with the rope
to let him have it, the bird
was twenty feet from the ship,
over the water. The whirling
lariat was spinning properly
and 1 let it fly. My aim was
good. I caught the crane
across one shoulder and under
the wing on the other side.
The fugitive dropped, a little
stunned. falling against the
side of the ship. He was flap
ping furiously as hauled him
over the rail-. A nasty eHdIIll-
nation revealed that he was
none the worse for his expe-

You was only kidding me,
boss" Curly remarked after
ward with a sheepish grin.
Kidding you?" I replied,
striving to get astonishment
into my voice. Don't be so
darned modest, Curly. You're
a wonderful teacher"
He looked at me in blank
puzzlement.

Dear Miss Fairfax:

respect him, but not as a lover.
I am 18 and he is 26. M. L.
My dear child, there is no
law which compels you to
marry a man with whom you
are not in love, especially
cousin. It's a good dead of a
problem when such relatives
are both in love, and wish to

spect him. why should mar
