see the king drop. Next came his

East next offered his spade jack
to the queen. Mr.. Wainwright now

This ruff left the declarer only one

There are many things that in,
fiuence blood pressure. One is ex-I
ercise. A normal man who took
trips of a set of three steps, and
took 80 trips in one and one-half,
minutes, raised his blood pressure
from 10 to 100.
Posture a Factor
Posture also influences. It is
higher when the patient is fiat-in
one case 140 as compared to 40.
Excitement. The first examina-
ton nearly always finds a high
blood pressure so that repeated de-
examinations have to be made.
Temperature. Cold raises and
heat lowers blood pressure.
The conclusion is that the deci-
sion as to whether patients blood
pressure is normal can only be
made after many examinations.
It is true that out Of 100 persons
with high blood pressure 20 die
prematurely, but no man can tell
which they are and every physician

StOiOwski Visit.

CIGIsMOND STOJOWSKI, cele,
brated Polish pianist, will give 6
recital under the auspices of Norman
Frauenheim at the Sulgrave Club
1901 Massachusetts, avenue NV, or
Thursday evening, March 81, at 8:45
AS youthful friend and protege OF
Brahms and Cesar Franck, StojoWski
represents among musicians the link
between modern standards and the
rapidly vanishing traditions of Vienna
and Paris. 1t was Brahms himself
who guided the early steps of Stojow-
ski as composer, reading his manu-
scripts and offering advice, and he it
was who arranged for the premiere of
StojoWski's first orchestral work in
Germany under the baton of Hans
Richter. Cesar Franck became so in
terested in the young pianist's ability
as composer that he offered to adopt
him as French citizen in order that
he might enter his class in Paris and
compete for the Prix de Rome. True
to his Polish instincts, however, Sto-
joWski could not abandon his Polish
citizenship.
The son of Polish nobleman, Sto-
jowski was educated in Paris, taking
a bachelors degree at the University
of Paris and first prize in piano at
the Conservatoire and winning at the
same time the greatest honor capable
Of being received at the French Con-
servatory, namely, that of first prize

being the first woman to receive this
degree from this institution. AS a
cum laude, as it were. she was again
selected to go as woman delegate to
an actuarial congress. This time the
meeting was in Rome, with no less a
person than II Duce himself opening
the conference in the Hall of the
Caesars.
The only woman invited to help Or
ganize the new American Institute of
Mathematics at Ann Arbor, Miss Will

matical distinctions membership in the
American Mathematical Society and

Makes Frequent Visits.
Upon her frequent visits to Washing
ton from Cambridge, Mass, she makes
her headquarters with her aunt, Miss
Mary Wilson, at the Kenesaw Apart
mentS.
Like Charles Dodson Lewis CarrolD
mathematical dean of Christ Church
England. and author Of Alice in Won
derland," Miss Wilson is adored by the
children of her friends in New Eng
land and Washington. To her they
bring all manner of trick problems
puzzles and catch questions, whose in
tricacies she always solves to their con-
tinuing amazement and delight. In
variably, too, she has fresh supply OF
her own mathematical teasers and
mental athletic problems with which
to challenge and regale them.

Charm school for men at American
University? Nothing doing, say some
of the men, but some of the co-eds
think they need it.
Since the closing of the recent
charm school for the co-eds, the sug-
gestion has been made that the men
hold similar sessions.
I'VE have enough sissies around here
now, so why have any more?" snorted
one masculine student. "A charm
school might even 60 so far as to ask
q man to shave regularly or wear

other said, there is certainly no hope
or use for q mems charm school,"
A coed, however, said: "The men
at American U. need charm school
more than the women do. Why don't
they do something to average up to
those handsome college boys we see
