In the early morning a flag Of
truce was carried onto the field that
separated the two armies. An or
der for peace for the day was given.
Rustum Agrees to Fight.
The Persian leader approached
Rustum and told him of the chal-
lenge but the warrior shook his
head and said that since the Per-
sian prince favored the young fight
ers in court, he should favor them
on the field of honor. But the leader
implored Rustum for the glory Of
the Persian army, so that at last he
yielded, but only if he fought dis
guised.
The two warriors walked onto the
center Of the plain. They were
armed with metal shields and
breast plates, and carried swords
and spears. Rustum wore no in
sigma on his weapons. He spoke:
II am tired warrior. You may
meet your death today. needlessly.
Let us drop this fight and make
peace between us and you come and
live with me as my son."
Feeling a strange sensation, Soh-
rab cried, Are you the mighty
Rustum?"
Rustum then cried, TT does not
matter who I am! On guard!"
SOhrab Is Killed.
They began to fight. Long and
hard they waged back and forth
over the plain. Then swinging his
cudgel, Rustum hurled it and the
shock threw him to his knees.
Enraged at being on his knees
with both armies watching, the old
er man seized his spear and roared,
"Rustum!"
Sohrab was surprised to hear the
name of his father and he dropped
his shield and stepped backward.
The charging spear of Rusturn
thrust through his side.
Sohrab had received a death
wound, but his spirit was not killed.
Rustum taunted him, but Sohrah
answered with burning tone, wait
until my father, the mighty warrior
Rustum learns that you have killed
his only son!"
Rustum turned pale. "Rustum
never had a son." he cried.
Sohrab showed the sign of the
griffin on his arm. The other man
fell to the ground. He seized his
arms and would have killed himself
had not Sohrab stopped him The
younger man in weakening tone
urged his father to live.

Lewis Bans Labor Survey
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is 60
ing to send a commission to Eng
land to study the British trade un-
ion act. At a press conference he
said any suggestions that he had in
view the modification of our labor
relations law were "cockeyed." But
John Lewis was suspicious and
wrote to Secretary of Labor Per-
kins that he would permit no men,
bers of the c. 1. o. to serve on the
mission.
The British trades union act, en-
acted after the British general
strike of 1926, prohibits general
strikes. Collective bargaining is le-
galized, but some forms of synpa-
thetic strikes and strikes which in
fict undue hardship on the public
are banned.

Overweight Burdens the Heurt

Overweight Burdens the Hedrt
Fatty deposits increase the work
of the heart, because each extra
pound demands the pumping of
additional blood. 1t has been esti-
mated that every pound of fat re-
quires six-tenths of a mile of blood
vessels to nourish it, Thus, the in
dividual who is 20 pounds over
weight is carrying around II miles
Of excess blood vessels. Natural
ly. the heart must work faster and
harder to pump blood through
these extra miles, and it is not
surprising that it is frequently
overstrained.
Heart disease and high blood
pressure are often associated with
excess fat. So are diabetes and
kidney disease. And when fat
creeps around the abdominal mus
cles, it may interfere with normal
elimination.

ENGLISH CRITIC AND POET

DIR. Thomas Arnold, head mas
ter of Rugby Chapel, in reality
as well as in the novel Tom
Browns School Days" was the
father of Mathew Arnold, Eng
lish poet and critic.
Mathew Arnold was born in
1922. He attended Oxford uni
versity, where he later became
professor of poetry. With his
family background and his work
as interpreter of poetry, he be-
came the leading literary critic
of England. His personal attitude
toward analyzing literature un-
derlies the best of literary criti-
cism today.

REDUCING Methods TO Avoid

If you have allowed yourself to
become overweight, you should
and can reduce. But you must go
about it in a scientific manner.
Do not put your faith in worth
less or dangerous methods that
either fail to reduce or may cause
you to lose your health faster than
you lose weight.
Never take any sort of drugs for
the purpose of reducing, except
under the advice of your physi-
clan. Many drugs which are said
to speed up bodily activities and
burn up fat may injure the heart,
produce cataracts of the eyes, and

the age of thirty, it is advisable to
weigh from five to ten pounds
more than the average for ones

Rational WEIGHT Control

The one scientific method of
maintaining normal weight or get
ting rid of a surplus is to recOg-
nize the fundamental fact that all
body fat originates as surplus fuel.
Thus weight control is chiefly a
matter of regulating the diet so
that the food intake does not ex-
ceed the energy expenditure.
