German Chemist Cites
Benefits of Massage

The common theory that massage
eases pain, promotes sleep. and linn
bers stiff muscles by stimulating the
circulation may be true enough. ac-
cording to DR.. II. Ruhmann of Berlin,
but it does not explain how the cir

Doctor Ruhmann's theory is that
the stretching and pressure of the
skin sets free in the blood a chemical
known as acetylcholin, which has a
tendency to counterfeit the exciting
effects of the gland chemical known
as adrenalin.
Acetylcholin enlarges the capil-
laries so that they hold more blood,
which carries away the, toxins caus-

DEATH FOR KIDNAPERS

HALIFORNIA joined the states which
~ have lately frightened up the penalty
Tor kidnapping when Governor Rolph
signed two bills intended to make kid
mapping an improbable industry here
By the terms of one bill the death PEN
atty, or life Imprisonment without pa
role, may be imposed on conviction of
kidnapping. The other establishes a
state fund from which rewards for de-
lection and capture of kidnapers may be
paid.
The first bill, prompted by the recent
outbreak of kidnapings, one of which
centers around a little California girl
who is still missing, gives hope that all
kidnapers will be made to feel the ex-
treme penalty of the law
As it reads, the law sounds harsh, but
nimble-minded lawyers, sob-sisters, weak
kneed citizens on juries, overly-senti-
mental persons and the yellow press
which makes hero of the criminal,
have way of softening up the law, es-
pecially in this state.
1t is difficult to understand why there
should be sympathy for kidnaper, but
such feeling does exist among some
people. California should be on guard
to squelch any such sentiments when it
faces its first kidnapping case after the
law becomes effective.
If California homes are to be made
safe there must be stern enforcement
of the new law at the first opportunity
given it to function. Only in this way
will the kidnapping fraternity be prompt
ed to give this state wide berth.
