THE ELASTICITY of the arter-
les has great part in maintaining
an efficient circulation of blood. II
the thrust of the heart beat alone
had to send the blood to every part
of the body, the pressure required
would be two or three times what it
is. But the heart throws its load of
blood out into a set of elastic tubes.
These first expand with the initial
impulse and then grasp the column
of blood, contract down on it and
send it further along it's course in
. smooth way.
I say Gin a smooth way" because
this arterial pressure on the column
of blood distributes it to all the
tissues under just enough pressure

It is moving rapidly enough to de-
liver its energy and oxygen load
with the greatest efficiency.
The elastic pressure of the ar
terles keeps up even during the rest
period (diastole) of the heart, SO
that the blood flow in the capillaries
Is even and continuous.
Speed Varies
If we could watch the rate of
blood flow in single tube, we would
see the blood in the big arteries near
the heart rushing past at the rate of
about foot a second, and then
gradually slowing down until in the
capillaries it is going at rate Of
about half an inch second.
When the elasticity of the arter-
les is reduced, high blood pressure
results. The Psychologists tell as

it would be glad to aid in five-power

output, so the cause must be in
creased peripheral resistance. This
increased resistance is probably due
to the decreasing elasticity of the
|arterial walls. If the walls of the
arteries can no longer distend to
accommodate the thrust of the heart
beat, there is automatically in
creased resistance.
Helpful Adjustment
High blood pressure simply means
that the pressure inside the arterial
tube is higher. And, obviously, high
blood pressure in man is compen-
satory and helpful adjustment. The
circulation must be maintained if
life is to be maintained. When the
arterial walls were elastic it was
maintained at lower level. When
they become hard it takes more
pressure to keep the blood flowing.
Ii you are pumping water through
q rubber hose, the pressure as it
comes out at the end is less than if
you pump it through an iron pipe.
II people worry about their blood
pressure at all, they usually worry
TOO much. It is one of natures adj
Justments, and, except for rest,
there is nothing to be done about it.

the event Of war along the lines FORE
shadowed by the present crisis the
Mediterranean Sea promises to become
one Of the most crucial and interesting
theaters Of operations.
Should Italy remain neutral, Britain
and France, either singly or together,
will have no difnculty in maintaining

rines might get through here, it Is
extremely unlikely that any Italian
surface unit would attempt to run the
gauntlet. Gibraltar itself would no
doubt be subject to attack by aircraft
and also by artillery fire from Alge-
ciras and Seuta, in Spanish Morocco,
always assuming that Gen. Franco a.

In the opinion Of those who are

the fortress would be able to resist q

Meanwhile, Italy, despite al the ef-
forts indicated, would still remain bot
tied up in the Mediterranean and
would be subject to . combined close
and remote blockade, which, II long
continued. must gravely reduce, II not
completely paralyze, her industrial and

In view Of the combined strength of
the Anglo French forces even now con-
