A month ago operations averaged
74.l per cent of capacity, while q year

In the background Of the rise in
output, experts said, Is advance buy

demand from railroads. Continued

cited as a symptom Of the industrys
robust condition. Some of the steel
buying Is said to have come from

CONTRACT BRIDGE

| this contract would have tied for
top score. Next to top score went
to a pair doubling 2-Clubs at an.
other table.
The openin. lead was my. part
ner's fourth best club IF a straight
lead declarer could see that I held
one higher card of the suit. It had
to be either the z, 8, j or @. There
was no way of knowing whether
West had bid S clubs to a Oh or a
6-card suit lacking one of the two
missing honors. Declarer guessed
the latter and played dummy's 8.
which my 9 covered and l was in.
hoping perhaps that held no more
of the suit, but when the was led
back declarer's K took the trick.
The j of spades was led. Unfor.
tunately for declarer the @ won on
a finesse. The 8 Of hearts was led
back through the K-1O> piling up
the 10. Vests ] and dumrny's
Ace. The next three tricks went
to dummy's good spades. Declarer
let go his two lowest hearts. West
discarded his lowest heart. Hop
ing for break on diamonds, the
2 was led from dummy. Declarer's
Q went to Vests lone Ace. Hav-
ing heart re-entry, West gave
dummy its Ace of clubs. The K
of diamonds was led When West
showed cut declarer took his K Of
hearts. Then he had to give me
two diamond tricks, or my partner
a heart and cluf trick, going
down a trick.
To go game declarer had only to
put up dunmy's 10 of clubs on the
opening lead. Three tricks in. clubs,
three in spades, one diamond and
two heart tricks would have full
filed his contract.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, Nj. ID.
THE BLOOD pressure is low in
all infants and most children, and
gradually rises as age advances.
There is a small rise in nearly
everyone at the age Of about Is,
then it falls, and at 25 again begins
to rise. What is the cause Of this
rise with advancing age? be-
lieve it is pretty generally agreed
among physicians that this rise
is due to the change which occurs
in the arteries of the body during
these advancing decades. The ar
teries become less elastic and
harder, as the popular phrase
has it.: this is an inevitable accom-
paniment Of growing older. This
being so, it is easy to understand
why this should cause a rise in
blood pressure. Because the only
purpose Of blood pressure is to
keep all the organs and tissues Of
the body supplied with blood. IF
this did not happen, life would end.
And in pressing the blood out
into all these tissues, there are two
or three factors at work. The
force exerted by the heart is one.
It thrusts the blood out into the
arterial tree. And when those ar
teries are elastic and pliable, they
open up to receive the tide Of blood
from the heart, and then squeeze
down upon it and press it out into
every crevice of the body. This
elasticity Of the arterial bed is the
second factor. The blood can be
distributed at much less pressure
when the arteries are young and
pliable than when they have gotten
stiff and have lost their elastic
power of compression.
In searching for the cause of
high blood pressure, then, we must
search for the cause of this change
in the arteries.

High Blood Pressure
Cause Not Discovered

The difficulty which confrontS
the adherent of any one theory Of
the condition is that no race, coun-
try or time is excepted. Men and
women everywhere always have
been afflicted in this way. Num-
mics in the tombs of the vi dynas-
ty have been found to have hard
ened arteries, which carries it back
three thousand years. OF course,
we do not know what their blood
pressure was, but they had the UNI
DERIVING cause Of high blood pres.
sure.
Mohammedans have it and Mo-
hammedans are not supposed to
use alcohol.
It is true that examinati lions
made on thousands Of Chinese stu.
dents show somewhat lower blood
pressure than obtains among occi.
dental people. White students in
China do not show any lower pres.
sure, so it is not due to climate.
White men in the tropics, how
ever, after some period Of resi-
dence, tend to have a reduction In
blood pressure; this can be attrib-
uted to the greater rest and re-
Taxation Of life there.
The idea has been advanced that
the predominantly vegetables diet
Of Orientals accounts for their
lower pressures. But against this
is the fact that elsewhere people
on all diets are affected in about
the same ratio. The Eskimo, on an
exclusive meat diet, shows no
greater incidence than other PEG.
pies.
The idea which has attracted the
largest number Of American and
English students Of the subject 10
that the high tension of modern
life, especially moderLo American
life, causes the high pressure. But,
again, the broad view dispels this
into limbo. The American Negro
is not notable for living at high
tension, nor for straining unduly
in the face of life. yet experience
is agreed that high blood pressure
is probably conalcnrr among the
Negroes than among their white
b. ethrcn.

 Mrs. Young testified before a su- perior court jury yesterday that the day before Mrs. Johnson was slain, McElroy stopped her on the street and asked her whereabouts.
 She's gone upstairs" Mrs. Young said she replied, "and she doesn't want to see you"
 McElroy, she said, drew his hand meaningly across his throat and told her, "Ill get her"
 Mrs. Young said she had noticed McElroy on several occasions pacing up and down in front of the dor Initory building.
 Mrs. Young is a sister of Miss Marion Miller, who was standing outside the building talking with a friend when Mrs. Johnson ran screaming into the street. She died before a doctor could be summoned.
 Once, Mrs. Young said, she dis covered McElroy lurking in the outer hall of the dormitory. She said Mrs. Johnson had been sleeping on the floor of her sisters room prior to the killing, apparently in fear of her life.
 McElroy, former hospital order ly, was said, after his arrest, to have admitted the killing because of jealousy.
 The state rested its case shortly before noon and the trial was re- cesSed until this afternoon.

Topeka. The statistics were avail able however, in official work-re- lief statements of the U. s. Treas ury.
 WPA'S refusal to issue its own statement on costs of administering the Kansas program after it had been requested by John G. Stutz, state direct relief director, brought an answer from Governor Landon.
 'There is censorship of news and censorship of the sources of news, " he said. Every taxpayer in this country has a right to know where his money is going"
 Landon declared WPA was with holding the figures because they're afraid of the waste and extra vagance which will be found there.
 A resume of all work-relief ex- penditures in Kansas revealed the state actually received $56, ,7e6, ,128 during the past fiscal year.
 The largest amounts were $12,- 789,827 for roads and grade-cros- sing elimination; $10,731, ,801 for direct relief from the federal emer- gency relief administration; $5,- O93, ,438 from the resettlement ad- ministration and WPA's SIS, ,820.350.
 WPA expenditures in the state regular program activities stressing highway and road construction, public and educational buildings, water conservation and supply sys- tems, education, parks and recrea- tional developments.
 The state also received white-col- lar project allotments, including money for art, recreation, golf courses, professional and educa- tional work, and national youth ad- miniStration work.

This recalled the case of the actress Susan Gerry, whose body was diSmenloersd and thrown into Boston harbor after she died from illegal surgery in 1905. At that time professional diver recov- cred her head long after the other parts had been found floating, and this led to solution of the mystery.
 Coincidentally, Fred J. Wallace of Somerville, who probably would be the diver selected, is a son of the diver used in the Gerry case.
 Investigators considered the bur- lap in which the legs were wrapped as potentially important clue. Charles Fischer, Boston burlap dealer, examined the wrappings and expressed belief that the burlap orig inally had been used to wrap beef. He pointed to lampblack markings on the burlap which he said could probably be identified e5 the ship per'S marks.

 Nye said that absolutely no pres- sure" had been brought to bear from any sources to prevent the develop ment "of any part of this story"

 He said the affidavit was released without discussion with other mem- berS of the committee, but that he believed they would feel that "out of sense of fairness to all parties concerned, it should be given out"
