Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

you are victim of the stress and strain of the
Il times. and find yourself in particularly nervous
condition the best relief is to relax Doctors know
that this is the first step in relieving various types of
spaSmodic disturbances
Several special systems of relaxation have been
developed and promoted for the purpose but there
Is no magic formula. Nevertheless there are a few
simple conditions which you should observe to OBJ
tain the best results
First of all, you must have a quiet room in which
you should lie with your eyes closed. This serves
10 omlnsh distraction and also enables you to con-
centrate easily your share in the performance
Il MEN you should breathe easily 20 or 30 times
- until you reach your usual rhythm of breathing
during sleep. When you have reached this stage
any person who might be aiding you to gain relax
alon should stroke the muscles in the direction of
the hbers while let yourself go completely limp
You should lie loosely, as if you were to sink
through the bed or the couch.
When you have reached this condition. in which
you lie like dead weight. your attendant may then
help you relax the muscles of the head, and face
Frowns and wrinkles of concentration stroked
away.
The muscles which set the jaws and make the
mouth firm usually most difficult to relax 1t is
also difficult to relax the muscles of the neck
These may be looSened by lifting and lowering
your head until it drops easily of its own weight
THEN you should go or toward relaxation of al
Il the muscles including those of thighs and arms
Eventually you will learn to relax each group of mus
ces IN turn, and finally you will be able to develop
completely relaxed condition of yourself
After you have learned to relax you should reglI-
larry go through the rhythmical breathing of sleep
and the process OF relaxation You will then require
about 10 minutes to reach completely relaxed state
after which YOU should fall easily into natural Sleep
1t is highly desirable that you get some outdoor
exercise daily. This is an especially good aid to
sound sleep at night
But do not carry the exercise to a point Of eX-
haustion or such great fatigue that relaxation be-
comes impossible.

Why Mention Child Labor?

A ND it's lucky I did see his speech this time be-
n cause as you read, now that he's got the whole
thing settled in such a satisfactory manner all
around, ne won't even consent to discuss the SUD-
ject any more. And can you blame him. Mr.. Barnum
is the president of the Publishers Association and
he can't be bothered going around discussing child
labor. He has to keep all his time clear in order
to talk about the freedom of the press.
As a matter of fact Mr. Barnum says that the
use of young boys in the sale and delivery of news
papers has nothing earth to do with child labor
The work DONE" he explains, lis outside of
school hours and not in competition with adults
Nor is it to be compared for one moment to that
done by children in mills mines and sweatshops
during long hours of the day when they should be
in school"
He's quite right about that I don't believe
child in mill or a sweatshop gets nearly as much
training in citizenship. I guess the mill owners
don't even bother to talk about it. They leave that
to the publishers.
Mr.. Barnum is quite right, the work is not as
wide as church door, but sometimes when watch
some spindly little merchant" peddng his wares
at dawn wonder if maybe it isn't as deep as
grave. Mr. Barnum is right. all too right the child
has made man of himself.

All for Education

CPEAKING for himself and his associates Mr..
~ Barnum said:
we have constantly kept in mind the welfare of
the boys Of this country who engage in the delivery
and sale of newspapers Each decade sees several
million boys engaged in the sale and delivery of
newspapers. While undoubtedly there have been
some abuses, there have been untold benefits. The
American newspaper boy is an intelligent progress
sive, Independent and alert future citizen. We have
sought retain for him his opportunity to employ
his spare time so as to become valuable citi-
zen. With those who would deny him such oppor-
tunity and alternative throw him on charity or
public relief, would not discuss the question.
With those vino might seek to abuse him in his
effort to progress and make of himself, we
have no sympathy, and to such we will lend no
support"
Spoken like man and publisher! It cleared
up the entire problem for me. You had started
out with the wholly erroneous notion that 10 and
12-year-old kids used in suburban delivery
routes because they were cheaper. had heard that
there were great many adults out of work and I
supposed that it might be a good idea to put them
on the job even if it cost little more
3 suppose there a great many children who
have some spare time along about M and it had
been my notion that they ought to keep spare and
reserve it for sleeping. AS 1 keep telling you 1
hadn't yet read Mr. Barnum's explanation that it
is all great campaign of education and training in
good citizenship.

This will play right into left
wing hands. Once tax legisla-
ton becomes an order of business,
they are in position to bring
out the far-reaching program they
have been trying for months to
persuade the President to back.
Furthermore, if the liberals
once get their program on the
floors of Congress. many men,
bers who secretly oppose drastic
overhauling of the tax system
won't dare vote against it in the
open.
To do SO would be political dy-
Mantle in next years elections.
That is why such Senators as
Pat Harrison, Joe Robinson and
Josiah Bailey pooh-pooh Mr..
Morgenthau's argument, airily in
sist that the bonus can be man
aged without new taxes.
The undercover maneuvering
over this should be both impor-
tant and amusing.
DRIVATE polls regarding the
l. Wagner labor disputes bill in
dictate that it has a good chance
of passing if it can ever be
brought to a vote.
This depends upon Old Guard
Democratic leaders in the Senate,
none of whom are too enthusiastic
about it. The bill will be re-
ported out of committee shortly
and will soon face the test.
Meanwhile there is some inter
esting behind-the-s scenes dickering
between Secretary Frances Per-
kinS and hackers of the bill. No
Cabinet officer likes to see his de-
partment weakened and Miss Per-
kins is no exception. Therefore,
she is opposed to the Wagner bill,
unless the new Labor Relations
Board. which it will establish. is
placed under her Labor Depart
ment.

MAYBE man descended from great ape like

MAYBE man descended from great ape ike
IV1 chimpanzee gorilla after ALL
This point of view which has been rather in
eclipse among evolutionsts during recent years
readvanced by Prof. William x. Gregory, anatomist
of Columbia University and the American Museum
of Natural History, speaking before meeting OF
the American Association Of Physical Anthropolo-
gists in Philadelphia.
Prof. Gregory recognizes two modes in evolution,
undertaking evolution" and transformation" In
crease in skull capacity from lowest monkeys to
is example Of the first mode. The great
changes in the face from monkeys to man exemplify
the second.
A PES feet. widely different from mans, have
N long been held q barrier to mans evolution
from the great apes. But Prof Gregory thinks that
apes feet may easily have changed much as their
faces on the road to becoming human. Like
changes may also have taken place in the pelvis
Not all of Prof. Gregory's colleagues accept his
conclusions. DR. William L. Straus Jr., OF the johns
Hopkins University, even suggested that in some
body parts especially certain muscles, apes are more
highly evolved than men. He holds to the view that
man and apes separated long ago and that the
human stock retained some primitive characters
which the apes had to lose developing the tree
dwelling way Of life
CUPPORT for DR.. Gregory's views was given by
- study of the way chimpanzee uses its foot
when walking its hindlegs, presented by Drs.
Herbert Elftman and John Manter Of Columbia
University The chimpanzee turns the top Of its
foot outward and has no sign Of longitudinal arch.
When its lifts its weight from its heel it shifts it
to the toes not to the ball of the foot, as in
Used thus the chimpanzee foot shows signs Of
turning in the direction of human locomotion. But.
added the two scientists:
"A detailed examination of the structure of the
chimpanzee and human foot reveals such funda-
mental similarity as to leave doubt that the
human foot could have evolved from that Of an ape.

GETTING to Mr.. BdbcOck-

L n matter said he could not understand the for
mula himself and therefore doubted that pig would
be able to understand it. especially with his pulses
pounding in his temples, as the lady novelists say.
1t was better the Senators decided to eradicate
known pigs than to prevent pigs which were only
theoretical and this eventually was done.
Mr. Babcock now comes before the Civil Service
Committee of the House of Representatives to claim
that sin among the unmarried gentlemen ana ladies
who work for the government may be charged to
an nhuman law which forbids husband and wife to
hold jobs in the public service
Claiming to know of nine couples who had de-
cided to play house rather than get married, and
thus avoid the loss of one job couple, Mr.. Babcock
would put the blame for this the government
rather than the playmates themselves. Com
panionate marriage" was the euphemistic name they
use for this procedure, which is a nice name for
it, at that.
Mr. Babcock did not undertake to guarantee,
however that even if the dual-job law were re-
pealed, this would put end to unconventional
house holding among those who draw pay from the
government. In fact, so far as the report OF the
controversy reveals nobody appears to have thought
it very important that they should

SAND men lie dead in
the graveyard of the Gran
Chaco, the bloody battle
ground where Bolivia and
Paraguay have been locked
in a death grip for almost
three years.
That is almost as many men as
the battle casualties of the United
States in the World War. 1t is as
though every man in a city the
size of Omaha, Neb., or Syracuse,
N. Y, were to be killed.
The present bitter fighting
around Charagua in Bolivia's
southern province of Santa Cruz
has seen 10000 soldiers in action
and has added perhaps 1000 to the
lengthening lists Of the dead. And
there is no sign of an end.
Across the jungle wastes of the
Chaco the tide of war has swept
since 1882. At first the well-trained
and equipped troops of Bolivia ap-
peared to be making the most
gains. They penetrated we'll into
the Chaco, that disputed area that
lies between the warning countries.
DUT then the Chaco began to
ID fight them. The Bolivians are
highlanders, and the savage guer-
lila warfare of the Steaming mazes
of the jungle was not to their lik-
ing.
1t neutralized the effect of their
better armament, and gave a cor
responding advantage to the Par
aguayans, who were used to it.
For six months the Paraguayans
hammered at the line of forts and
defenses the Bolivians had built.
Toward the end of 1884 and the
beginning of this year, they be-
gan to break through, and sue
ceeded in gaining almost all the
Chaco.
Desperate at this threat of in
vasion, Bolivia braced, and her
green and untried troops appear
to have halted the Paraguayan
advance in the present series of
battles from Charagua to Villa
Monies, along 125-mile front.
A S the losses mount, the Be-
N livisn advantage would seem
to increase, despite her 10000
prisoners in Paraguayan camps
and the defamation of her early
and veteran armies. For Para
quay has only a million people,
and despite the desperate loyalty
and head-long bravery sacrifices
of her people, they can not fur
nish cannon-meat forever.
Bolivia controls the air, Para
guay's air force having been
wiped out.
Unless effective mediation
comes, however, from the neigh
boring South American countries
of Argentina, Chile and perhaps
Brazil, from the United States, or
from the League of Nations, it is
more than possible that both
these countries will fight each
other into mutual destruction.
In that case, the Chaco may re-
main an unsettled South Amer
lean Alsace-Lorraine, to plague
the peace of the western heni-
sphere for uncounted years to
come.
