THE PHILOSOPHY OF FAT

! mean philosophy ana no 1OOllnS.
You can compound your own psyche
logy when you will have learned
something about the anatomy, physi-
ology and pathology Of fat. Indeed, l
am only lowbrow medical student
but there is always a crazy notion
rolling around in the back Of my
head, to wit, that fair elementary
course In Anatomy and Physiology IN
the grammar or high school, with a
term of Pathology the last year OF
high school, would be long step IN
advance in Education.
In the last set-to had just de-
molished the conventional theory OF
capillary vessels and Emphatic YES
sells, pointing out that SO far as have
been able to see. both capillary blood
vessels" and Emphatic vessels are
in reality just spaces between cells
and fibres of the tissue-a bald as
sertion which any one is welcome to
challenge if he can show me an $50
lated capillary or an isolated lympha-
tic vessel had sailed along with
great assurance up to that point, and
then suddenly found myself in an
embarrassing predicament-how was
I to get the lymph from these mere
spaces or channels between cells and
fibres into the rugged and uncon-
promising receptaculum chylae which,
I am scarcely prepared to deny. con-
veys the lymph and chyle (emulsl-
fled fat absorbed from the intestine)
directly into the blood stream, the
chyle receptacle emptying into the IN
ternal jugular vein in the left side
Of the neck.
Oh, we'll, let's not get all in stew
over it. What's the diff, whether there
are lymph vessels or not? Personally
I'd never say a word about such
trifles were it not for the annoying
habit of certain bombastic author
ities'' who bolster up their funny
teachings by referring to capillary or
lymphatic vessels" as tho they know
all about such elementary matters.
Suffice that the oil or fat food IS
emulsified in the intestine, absorbed
thru the lacteals and Will, which are
minute finger-like projections OF the
mucous membrane well designed to
such in the milk-white emulsified fat
or chyle. The chyle enters the re-
ceptaculum chylae. and is conveyed
thru the thoracid duct, tube halt
as large around as lead pencil, to
mix with the lymph in the duct and
be emptied into the left internal
jugular vein In the neck. It mixes
with the blood and is carried in the
vein to the right side Of the heart
pumped from there into the lungs
back to left side Of heart, and then
out thru the arteries to the whole
body. Such cells or tissues as need
fuel pick up from the blood the fat
they need. The surplus fat is stored
in various places until it Is needed
Most of it is stored in the panniculus
normally-the blanket Of fat just un-
der the skin. Much Is stored In the
form Of leaf lard around the kidneys
and other organs, and the omentun
or apron that covers the abdominal
organs within the cavity Is more o.
less larded, according to the individ.
ual corpulency. Pads Of fat behind

Modern Fairy Tale

There Is something oddly anachro-
nistic about a little news dispatch
from Switzerland, telling how the
Emperor Halle Selassie Of Abyssinia
just has bought a new three -motored
Swiss airplane and Is having a throne
installed in it.
The emperor, 1t seems, wants to
make some plane flights. But he
sees no reason why king who goes
up in the air should leave the trap
pings of royalty behind him on the
ground.
So he will have flying throne
the first monarch in all history to
carry his throne into the clouds.
Now the airplane is the very in
carnation Of up-to-date modernism:
and the throne IS a vestigial survival
of an outworn day.
The queer way in which the bust
ling present and the distant past
dovetail nowadays never was illus
trated better than In this queer busi-
ness Of the Emperor selassie's aerial
throne.

washington, Feb. 14:-When you're
q little tin.id about experimenting
with a major policy, first you try 1t
tut on the dog.
That's the way the administration
IS working III its admitted plan toward
redistribution Of income through dis
couragement Of unfair profits.
The distillers aren't very popular
and their business is such as to call
for close supervision. The consuming
public has been hollering louder at
their price list than at any other.
Y So the distilling industry viii be
the first to have its private books
studied, In an effort to determine its
costs and profits.
That's the sort Of thing the young
liberals" in the administration have
been aiming for. Roosevelt himself
has insisted that the return on cap
ital must be smaller, to maintain AIDE
quate purchasing power.
Nearly all AAA marketing agree
ments have carried provisions enab-
ling the government to inspect books
OF professors, although there's only
one approved MIRA code Of that type
SO far-the fertilizer code.
But the administration has pro-
cAeded cautiously and, except for a
few individual milk companies, the
distillers will have the distinction Of
being the first patient to 60 on this
New Deal operating table.

form the operation, hasn't any power

A Good Old Custom
civilians County Farmers Press)

(WMllamS county Farmers PreSS)
It IS a good old custom OF the news
paper business to turn the columns of
a paper over to such organizations as
the chamber Of commerce, the Ameri-
can Legion and similar public minded
groups whenever they plan some gath
cring. In the course OF year they
devote hundreds Of dollars worth of
space plugging for something or other
for the cities in which they are located.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Citizen don't go
into grocery store and ask for a
couple cans of beans, to the butcher
shop and ask for few pounds Of stake,
to the baker and ask for free bread
or to the doctor and ask for free ton
silectimy but the newspaper is source
OF perpetual bounty whether it be for
few sheets of waste paper" or free
advertising Of anything from fourth
OF July celebration to a church sup
per. In large cities newspapers have
broken with traditions to certain ex-
tent but in the smaller places it is
still spring Of unfailing bounty.
OF course q newspaper mans sorrows
are best known to himself. Only a
newspaper man realizes that three
fourths Of the people know more about
running paper than he does. II some
scoundrel Is caught in the act, and a
newspaper passes up q perfectly good
story for the sake Of an innocent FAM
lily. those smart people in the know, see
sinister design. II q business firm
doesn't like something that is said, ret
ribution Is simply by withdrawal Of
patronage. II there is difference in
opinion on anything from cheese to
the history OF the Russian revolution,
the editor = liar. a rascal, and an
idiot. And there Is Z time in every
newspaper mans LIE when he wond-
ers II he Isn't.
In the larger cities, force Of cir
cumstances caused larger newspapers
to stop the constant flow OF charity
People by nature appreciate least
those things which they get easiest
All, but how sadly newspaper men are
aware Of the fact. But they hayen't
any kick coming. People who expect

hard hearted workaday world, need q

Protect the Ewes

Importance Of finding out at the
earliest possible moment whether a
child's sight is normal is brought
1orcibly to our attention by DR.. Ar
thur P. wilkinson Of Detroit, in an
article recently disseminated by the
National Society for the Prevention
Of Blindness.
A child who suffers from near.
sightedness, points out DR.. wilkinson,
is under great handicap. even ii
his affliction is not very marked. He
isn't wanted on a baseball team, for
instance, because he can't see the
ball until it Is close to him.
AS a result, he tends to become
unpopular with his playmates, to
lose lot OF the fun OF normal child
hood. and to become adjusted poorly
to his surroundings.
Early discovery Of his defect, fol.
lowed by corrective measures, would
give him . far richer and happier
life. "A little attention to his sight
can make the difference between &
happy and an unhappy childhood.

tFoolhardy' Pioneer Was Man
If Vision

Walter Wellman died the other day
at Is. He was the first man to try
to fly across the Atlantic ocean, and
when he made the attempt the stunt
was looked on as the ultimate In
foolhardy daring.
But he lived to see the number OF
those who have crossed the sea by
air rise far into three figures.
It's q commonplace to say that
aerial science has developed rapidly
IN the last quarter century. One
hardly realizes how true that saying
Is. however, until one glances at the
career Of q man like Wellman.
It was on Oct. Is, 1910. that Mr..
Wellman started his projected trans
atlantic flight. The takeoff was from
Atlantic City; the ship was q non
rigid dirigible. clumsy and fragile
affair 1874 feet long, with a gas bag
capacity OF $4,000 cubic feet.
It compares with Macon or q
Graf Zeppelin as one of Columbus
caravels compares with the Levia-
than.
Underneath the bag was slung a
1ifeboat, stocked with provisions.
Down into the sea trailed device
called an "equilibrator"-a series Of
cylindrical tanks which noated on
the ocean, expected to act as sort
Of stabilizer, to keep the ship from
rising too high in the air. Besides
Mr.. Wellman. five men were aboard.
The takeoff was at 8 in the morn
ing. Twenty-four hours later-half
of the first day having been spent
repairing one Of the two engines,
which had quit cold-the dirigible
had reached point some $50 miles
northeast Of its starting point.
The voyage had been excessively
perilous. The hydrogen in the en-
yelope cooled and contracted danger
ously, nearly pitching the ship into
the water. A collision with Z steamer
narrowly was averted.
One OF the engines exhaust pipes
nearly set the bag on fire. The
equilibrator, instead OF working as
expected, made the ship almost I'm
possible to steer.
Another "a hours passed, and con-
ditions became worse. The dirigible
was some 400 miles out now, and It
was pretty plain that Europe never
would be reached. Preparations were
made to take to the water in the
lifeboat, but it was found impossible
to launch it.
Next morning, providentially. q
steamer showed up. Signaled by the
dirigible, it came alongside, Wellman
and his crew came aboard, and the
dirigible was left to float out to sea
SO ended the first transatlantic
flight attempt.
It took place less than Is years
ago. Since then. enormous dirigibles
have crossed and recrossed the At
yantic times without number. Ocean
flying is almost ready to play a use
ful part in the everyday life OF the
world.
And good part Of the credit must
