THE MECHANICS OF RESPIRA-

Drawing air into the chest Is the
only active part Of breathing, the only
part that requires any muscular ef-
whether 1t be the ordinary au-
tomato act of breathing or more or
less forced conscious or voluntary
breathing. Expiration, exhalation or
breathing out is simply deflation. COM
parable with allowing the air to es-
cape from a rubber bag after you
have inflated it. BY a muscular ef-
fort, principally contraction Of the
belly muscles, one can drive out some
additional air after the normal quiet
expiration Is completed, but this need
not concern us here.
Any one who purposes to do the
Belly Breathing Exercise In Relaxa-
ton should do all his breathing ex-
ercise thru the wide open mouth. In
nearly all cases this Is essential, to
promote the desired degree Of general
relaxation.
II we seem to harp on the idea OF
in these instructions
1t is because we know that most Of
the evils of bad breathing are depend
ent on a kind of muscle-bound state
which unwise training in chest ex-
panding breathing has brought upon
the victim of faulty physical educa-
ton. We know. too. that 1t takes
many months of earnest practice to
break up wrong habits Of breathing
and to free the diaphragm even part
ly from the inhibition Of bad breath
ing habit.
Some authorities would have us
think that there are two different
types of breathing, both normal. One
type they call costal or chest breath
ing. The other they call abdominal.
Some old timers even imagined the
coStal type was the normal type for
women, and the abdominal type for
men only. Maybe the high chest type
was all a woman could do In the days
of iron bound waists. But these arti-
ficial notions are no longer enter
tained by psychologists, since wider
observation has shown that women
not hampered by freak dresses or
other restraints breathe as men do. A
few quaint voice culture instructors
still cherish some peculiar concep-
tions Of breathing, but only few.
Altho one should start the relaxa-
ton exercise with mouth wide open,
1t may we'll be that after several
months of faithful practice one will
find 1t possible to do the exercise as
we'll breathing entirely thru the nose

Johnson Puts Self at Top OF

Washington. Oct. 26.-(R)-A reor-
ganized NRA Thursday was embarked
upon the task Of enforcing It's dozens
Of industrial codes.
Hugh S. johnson put himself at the
top Of the new enforcement machin-
cry and also at the head Of the ma
t'onal compliance board-the final

Immediately under johnson we're

and related industries: Malcolm Muir,

AS the new NRA lineup began its
functions, Henry Ford resumed q
prominent place in capital discus
sions, this time over his status as a
bidder for government contracts.
Ford has not signed the automo-
bile code. The question debated was
whether the Detroit manufacturer
could bid on the armys $4,000, ,00O

government purchases.

President Roosevelt has ruled gov
ernment contractors must comply
with code requirements. NRA Off
cials said that. while Ford has not
signed, they believe he has lived up
to the code. Their Interpretation was
That statement Of compliance, ac-
comparing bid, would make it
eligible for consideration.

INDIANA CITIZENS
ORGANIZE T0HALT
RAIDS BY BANDITS

Public Joining in Concert.

Indianapolis, Oct. 26.-(R)-One Of
the greatest concentrations Of law
enforcement agencies In Indiana's
history was forming Thursday to pro-
tect the state from = band Of fugi-
tive convicts preytng upon banks and
citizens.
Governor Paul v. McNutt was
ready to plsce the National Guard
at the call Of state police. Federal
operatives lent their assistance. The
American Legion prepared to form
"a shotgun army" to blackade roads
and citizens vigilance committees
sprang into being.
Two small bank robberies Wednes-
day at Fillmore ana Moduc followed
similar holdups on the two preced-
ing days at Greencastle and South
Bend.
Bound by oath never to be cap
tured alive, at least 13 men, State
Police Captain Matt Leach believes,
comprise the bank k-robbing gang
which has terrorized northern and
central Indiana.
Thursday, a month after 10 con-
victs shot their way from the state
prison at Michigan City, Leach told
the story Of the gangs origin. He is
convinced the eight fugitives still at
large have been joined by other for
mer prisoners in the bold series Of
depredations.
To the gang he attributes bank
robberies with losses totaling more
than 100000, and the loottng of city
police stations at Auburn and Peru
for arms and ammunition. Several
Of the convicts face murder charges.
Tells Details Of Gang
Leach described formation Of the
gang as follows.
Early last summer five convicts. all
on parole from the prison, decided
to organize and specialize in bank
robbery. John Dillinger, released
after the minimum Of 1921 year
term for robbery, took the lead. As
sociates we're Homer Van Meter,
Harry Copeland, Sam Goldstein and
Clifford Mohler.
Mohler. life ter,r1er. gained his pa
role, prison officials learned, by
drinking shellac in the prison paint
house to induce symptoms Of q dis
ease.
These five plotted and carried out

lucky. Later three were nabbed.
The long-plotted break was car
ried out Sept. 26 with aid Of guns
smuggled to Walter Dietrich, convict
In the prison shirt factory, and nine
others went with the plotters.
Our investigations show" Captain
Leach concluded, that these men
have "a connections in the middle
west, mostly in Indiana.
"They have, at the present time,
II machine guns, number Of re-
volvers, shotguns and other weapons.
In addition they have 18 bullet-proof
vests"

the current wheat embargo.
In 1891, it will be recalled, Alfalfa
Bill" Murray got his dander up and
decided to open q toll-free bridge over
the Red river at Denison. Owners Of
a nearby toll bridge got an injunc-
ton and trouble developed. Barri-
cades were erected on the Texas SIDE
OF the free bridge but these were
moved back by Oklahoma guardsmen,
acting on orders OF the governor.
That happened on July is, 1881.
The following day Texas Rangers,
under order Of Governor Sterling,
threw up q barricade on the Texas
side Of the free-toll bridge, stopping
traffic.
James v. Alfred. Texas attorney
general. drew up IN opinion holding
that the Texas highway commission
contract with the Denison- -Durant toll
bridge owners was invalid. On July
n, Governor Murray ordered the last
outlet Of the toll bridge span blocked.
To head off court injunctions, Gov
ernor Murray clamped martial law on
. small strip Of land north Of the
bridge. Charles Barrett, adjutant
general, took charge and 30 guards
men and five officers Of the Durant
unit were called out.

between Denison and Durant was
opened as the Rangers left after q

was dissolved. Judge Colin Neblett
Of New Mexico issued an order en-
joining the national guard and the
adjutant general OF Texas from bar
ring traffic from the toll span.
So far, 50 good. But what happened
next took some Of the Joy out OF
Oklahoma's victory. The owners Of
the toll bridge sued the state in fed

have to pay it.
