DOCTORS can detect certain diseases by neasur-
~ ing the speed at which the blood flows through
your body, using ingenious methods of measuring
the rate of flow.
Yet it only 300 years ago that the actual fact
that blood circulates through the human body was
established
Today know that the heart pumps the blood
through the arteries to the ends of the circulation
in the capillary blood vessels and that these blood
vessels is recoected into the veains passing to the
lungs, where it receives more oxygen and then re-
turns to the heart, to be forced again through
the circulation
In various species of animals the time required
for the blood to go from the heart to some other
point in the body and back to the heart again varies
TN OF the methods devised to measure this
l. rate of flow, small amount of radioactive
substance is put into the blood vessel at one elbow
and a detector is placed at the other elbow. The
time required for the passage of the radioactive
substance from one elbow to the other is taken with
q stop-Watch.
In normal persons the average time required Is
eighteen seconds. Certain kinds of heart disease
cause the rate to be much slower.
Other new methods involve the injection of cer-
tain chemical substances which produce changes in
the capillaries when the chemicals reach them. BY
this newer method the rate at which the blood flows
has been determined in a large variety of diseases.
For instance, the time required for the blood to
travel from the arm TO the face in a normal person
person is about twenty-five seconds, varying from
nineteen seconds to twenty five seconds.
When the thyroid gland is over-active or in severe
forms of anemia, the blood travels much faster.
In the latter instance 1t does doubt because
larger amount Of blood is needed over given time
to noalrish the tissues.

ment they kept him confined for
nearly week-then they blind
folded him and released him on
an open road. The kidnapers had
been unable to make a safe con-
tact to collect the 100000 ransom
they had demanded.
Federal forces worked unceaS-
ingly on the case, and excellent
cooperation was achieved with
local authorities. Mrs. Luer iden-
titled the picture of a former
burglar and thug, The Dice-box
Kid" as one Of the kidnaperS.
Police went out and found him,
and trapped him into admission
that led to uncovering Of the
whole affair.
THOUGH five men and wom-
- an are now serving from five
to twenty years for this coward
ly crime, one of the suspected
ringleaders in the plot is still at
large. He is Walter Holland,
known also as Walter or Irish"
O'Malley, burglar and hijacker.
With him is sought Lloyd
"Blackie" Doyle, a man with no
very black previous record, but
who now stands indicted in the
Luer case. The third is a woman,
Mrs. George M. Chase, who has
gone by the various names of
Vivian Davis, Vivian Chase, Alice
White, Vivian Mcdowell, Alice
Waite and Grace Hickey.
Mrs. Chase, though she, too,
has no convictions behind her, is
badly wanted to round out the
complete mopup of the Luer case.

case was a harder nut to crack.
For twenty-five days thugs held
concealed Edward G. Bremen, 81
year-old bank president, son of a
prominent brewer, who is friend
of the President himself.
A gang of ten or twelve men
descended on Bremen just after
he had taken his 8-year- old
daughter to school one morning,
beat him about the head, and
carried him off.
This time the abductors carried

Inc American government mas
participated actively in three
naval conferences, at Washing
ton, Geneva and London, and in
the world disarmament confer
ence through its long preliminary
leaders until the present day.
One result has been achieved
which can be called substantial.
A race Of naval ornaments be-
tween Great Britain and the
United States has been prevented
and it is as certain as anything
can be In these matters that it
will not be allowed to start.
This is guaranteed not by the
words of treaties alone, but by
the conviction of statesmen and
people on both sides of the At
lantic. The formula of equal and
noncompeting navieS which Mr..
Hughes initiated as secretary of
state and Mr.. Hoover perfected
at the Rapidan is now the &C
copied policy of both nations.
Nothing else that is important
and gives promise of lasting has
been achieved. The agreement
with Japan is undermined, and if
a new one is to be reached it will
be only after complicated and
delicate negotiations.
The continental countries of
Europe never have accepted any
treaty limiting all naval arma-
ments. AS to armies and air
forces, the failure of the disarm-
ament is complete.
Not only is Germany actively
re-arming, but her re-armament
is accompanied by serious prof.
ects for the increase of arma-
ments elsewhere in Europe. There
is no prospect now of a reduc-
ton. There is no real prospect
of limitation. There is, in fact,
an increasingly feverish compe-
tition to increase ornaments.

Bill Terry of Memphis

THE other is Bill Terry, the manager of the New
York Giants. Since his time at Yale and on
the sport pages, Young Mallory has come on to be
useful citizen of his old home town and it NAV be
that Will Terry after he has lost too many ball
games for the tolerance of the stockholders of a
soulleSS corporation, will come back home and
settle down to his gas pumps and oil bottles at a
line of filling stations in Memphis

that even the local ladies refuse to wear cotton

go around most of the year wearing no stockings

IN the wave of kidnapping which
Il swept the country during the
last few months the United
States department of justice &C
quilted itself splendidly.
Speedily it put behind the bars
most of the principals in such
cases as those of Mary McElroy
and Nell Donnelly in Kansas City,
Peggy McMath in Massachusetts,
Jackie Thompson in Detroit,
AdolphuS Busch Orthwein in St.
Louis, August Luer in Alton, Ill,
Benjamin p Bower in Denver,
Gordon H. Sawyer in Tucson, and
Charles Urschel in Oklahoma.
But to make this record even
more sweeping, and prove very
definitely that there is nothing in
kidnapping but discovery and
prison, federal sleuths would like
to round up at least five more
'.left-overs" from these and other
kidnapings.
They are: Alvin Karpis and Doc
Barker, believed to have been con-
cerned in the Bremen kidnapping
case, and also suspected of hav-
ing operated with Clyde Barrow's
gang and John Dillinger's.
Three also remain of those suS-
pected in the Luer kidnapping case:
Walter OMalley, Lloyd Doyle and
Mrs. G. M. Chase.
These five will be welcome call
ers at the department of justice.
OK of the Luer kidnap gang are
~ already in Jail. But the case
was so repulSive that the govern
ment is anxious to round up the
rest.
August Luer is feeble 77-year-
old banker of Alton, Ill. The
kidnapers entered his home,
roughly handled both the aged
man and his wife, and bundled
him off in an auto.

trationS.
II
WE may leave to the histo-
w rians of the future the de-
cision as to who is to blame for
this dangerous condition of af-
fairs. Our concern must be for
our own course. About what the
American people desire there is
no dispute. They would like to
see all wars prevented, but above
all they intend not to be drawn
into wars that can not be pre-
vented.
To the prevention of wars by
organized international action
they are not prepared to con-
tribute any commitments which
would be substantial enough and
binding enough to make any real
difference in the policy of Euro
pean nations. There is nothing
which the United States even
would consider promising to do
which would cause France or Ger
many to alter their course.
1t is no use INDUCING in any
illusions on that point. European
diplomacy is moving on the plane
where military force is the deter
mining factor. Appeals will not
defect it. Only a military COM
mitment which changed the bal
ance of forces would count in this
situation and no one in America
has the smallest intention of
making such a commitment.
Reduced to its essentials, the
American problem is to make a
policy with respect to Japan in
the Pacific, and with respect to a
possible European war in the At
lantic. For a number Of reasons
it would seem to be clear that our
highest interests require that we
should begin by seeking a settle
ment with Japan.
TOR in the Pacific we are
Il involved directly, whereas in
Europe we are only involved indi-
rectly. In the Pacific, moreover,
settlements are possible through
action which we might take. In
Europe we can do nothing that
matters, because we have nothing
tangible to contribute.
The chances OF settlement
with Japan will almost certainly
be governed by our willingness to
consider the change in the far
east since 1922 on the one hand,
and on the other by our will
lingness to keep the American
navy consistently stronger than
the japanese.
1t is necessary to make clear,
not by buster and threats, but
by action and quiet authoritative
statement, that if Japan claims a
free hand politically and will not
limit her aims, then we can and
will build a preponderant navy in
the Pacific.
On the other hand, if Japan will
limit her aims, we can redefine
our position in the far east, and
a naval agreement will be posi-
BILE. The Japanese have been al
lowd to believe that it is their
navy which alone is limited by the
disarmament treaties, whereas the
truth is that since we have inf
nitely greater resources, it is our
navy that is in fact limited.
For it is the country which can
outbuild the other that makes the
real concession when navies are
limited by treaty.

The President is fully aware of
these facts. In the numerous con-
ferenceS between him and the
group it has been freely discussed.
He has assured them he is anX-
iouS to do something for them.
The question is how to do so
without opening the flood gates
of currency infation-a danger
Gus expedient he has so far ada
mainly resisted.
THE specific issue is over man
Il datory or permissive silver
reconciliation.
The President is fatty opposed
to the former. If by any chance,
highly remote, such a bill should
be damned through congress, he
would be certain to veto it. He
has told this bluntly to the silver
ties.
They, however, grimly insist on
compulsory bill.
To his offer to accept permissive
reconciliation, with the pledged
assurance gradually to increase
silver coverage of currency from
the present II per cent to APP
proximately 80 per cent, they turn
a deaf ear.
Only compulsory remonetiZa-
ton will satisfy them-meet their
urgent political needs. At White
House conference last week they
put this bluntly up to the Presi-
dent.

right for you, Mr.. President" said
