REBEL ATTACK

ATHENS, March THE govern
ment took emergency measures to-
day to prevent an attack by the
rebel fleet on Athens and Salonica
while Gen. George Condylis start
ed his long deferred attack on the
rebel army in Macedonia.
Vice Admiral Sakellariou was
sent to sea under sealed orders, at
the head of the government fleet,
to contact and attack the rebel
navy.
The Straits of Salamis were
blockaded with a line of torpedoes
to prevent rebel ships from attack
ing the arsenal near Piraus, the
port of Athens.
Batteries of Carabournou fortress
dominating the entrance to Salonica
harbor were reinforced with heavy
guns.
It was indicated the government
had lost touch with the rebel navy
and feared an attack on the coun-
try's two chief SeaportS.
Ships were warned to remain
close to harbors and avoid danger
of being hit by bombs of patrolling
government tseaplanes.
Cessation of heavy snow, which
followed on torrential rains, per-
mitted Condylis, commander-in-
chief of the government s Mace

the Sturma river to attack the reb-
els under General Camenos.

telegraphed Premier Panagiotis Tsa-

But the weather cleared some

the troops started toward the his

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

OF all the diseases from which human beings
" suffer, those affecting the heart, the kidneys
and the blood vessels take the largest toll of deaths
Yet of these three it is interesting to realize that
not nreGuently either heart disease or disease of
the kidneys may be secondary to a condition affect
ing the blood vessels
For this reason, life insurance companies are
paying more and more attention to the discoveries
that have been made which show at as early
date possible that changes of significance are
occurring in the tissues of the arteries and the
veins.
The term blood pressure" usually is taken to
mean the amount of pressure behind the flow of
the blood in the arteries. which carry the blood
from the heart to the outermost points of the
body.
However doctors recognize the fact that there
is also certain pressure to found in the veins
which carry the blood back to the heart after the
arteries have carried 1t out, and there is also
pressure in the capilares. These are the very tiny
blood vessels which transfer the blood at the ter
minal points from the arteries to the veins
OkNE expert has pointed out that we ought to
" stop using the term blood pressure. because it
Is really the arteries that concerned. and not
the blood.
If the pressure of the blood is found to be higher
than usual the patient is said to have apprehension
or high blood pressure If is less than the normal
he is said to have hypotenson, which means low
blood pressure.
Now there two phases to blood pressure. When
the heart has just contracted the pressure is higher
than when the heart is relaxed.
The first measurement during systole or con-
traction is called the Systolic blood pressure. The
second measurement during diastole relaxation.
Is called the diaStolic blood pressure.
nOCTORS measure the blood pressure with two
l. types of machines in most cases One has
a column of mercury and the pressure is recorded
IN millimeters of mercury above the air or atmos-
pheric pressure.
Another type of machine has a dial and
moving needle controlled by the tension of spring.
The figures on the dial compare with the readings
of a mercury column.
There are several conditions which may raise the
blood pressure temporarily. after which it Will return
TO normal Thereafter doctors have to distinguish
between the mere record of high blood pressure
and the occurrence of disease affecting the blood
vessels, of which the chief manifestation is high
blood pressure.
Thus they call the first arterial apprehension and
the second hypertensiye arterial disease.

BARREL WHISKY BILL

Fears 100000 Loss of
= Revenue to State.

Voicing his opposition to the
measure now pending in Congress-,
which would legalize barrel whisky,
Paul Fry, state excise administra-
tor. today said such law would
cost Indiana 100000 in revenue.
Mr.. Fry pointed out that the ex-
else department would have no way
of checking the tax on barrel whisky
after the first tax was paid and that
it could be filed with bootleg
whisky. Use of package liquor ex-
clusively is the only guarantee the
consumer has that he gets what he
pays for, Mr.. Fry said.
The excise chief declared that he
did not believe keg whisky would be
legal in Indiana. even if the Fed
eral measure passes. The Indiana
law would seem to prohibit bulk
sales to retailers, he said.

over the state; one was violently
for Huey; one took him without

HIGHLANDS, N. j., Aug. l.
l. i High Army officers today
ordered tests of something really
hard" for the carefully guarded
new mystery ray which may give
the United States material adj
vantages in any war.
Nature of the tests was con-
cealed by refusal of all Army
authorities to talk on the subject
and by rows of sentries pacing
every foot of ground for three
miles around Navesick Lighthouse
on a desolate point off the Jersey
coast
Apparently credible reports said
tests to be conducted tonight will
be attended by members of the
Army general staff and war col.
lege at Washington, and techni-
clans of the Artillery Corps from
all parts of the country. Unof-
fetal observers interpreted the
gathering of high ranks as proof
that the Army believes it has de-
veloped something that may
change even the elements of mill
tary tactics.
No one except members of the
Army Signal Corps and the high
est artillery and Coast Guard Of
ficers knows even the nature of
the mystery ray.
Tests conducted along the
guarded coast Tuesday night and
last night. however, showed hun
dreds of New Jersey residents
what it could do.

TWENTY miles west, near the

men in a gas station and garage.
A tall, windy young fellow who
sold gas dubbed over at the very
mention of Huey. "He could be
elected hands down if he'd run
for President" he predicted con-
fidentially. Most everybody out
here is for him, and I've heard
that he's even stronger in the
East"
1 turned to the other two. One
was a we'll dressed man about 80;
the second was a tall countryman.
The we'll dressed man made no
comment. The countryman said:
