Presages Long Life

Low blood pressure certainly
presages a long life and an active
old age. Among many aboriginal
people, universal low blood pres
sure is the rule.
If any individual has any symp-
toms from his low blood pressure,
the sovereign remedy is exercise.
DR.. Hines reeites the case of a
man who has been known TO have
low blood pressure for thirty-fve
years-since 1905, when it was
accidentally discovered on a COL
lege entrance examination. He oc-
.asionally complained of 'logy"
feeling, but during the past ff-
teen years he has worked hard on
his own amateur farm, and has
found that severe physical work
dissipates his feelings and makes
him more fit for mental exertion.

AS for the Japs, it's well recog-
nized that they couldn't get cor

Russia Better on
Ambassador Constantine Ouman-
sky might draw a respectable
crowd. Not so far back, the Rus
sian embassy made the attempt
and it was boycotted about 80 per
cent. despite its champagne and
caviar. Now, though, we like the
Soviet outfit a little better. We
still hate 'em as Communists, but
there are hints that We may have
temporary common interests with
Comrade Stain versus japan.
Everybody's sorry for France,
but there's no enthusiasm for its
new Ambassador Henri-Haye, as
representative of the capitulated
Petain regime.
Then there are the overrun small
democracies' spokesmen-from Po-
land, Denmark, Norway, Belgium,
Holland. ct cetera. Their legations
are hanging on quite numerously
in Washington. However, with no
governments Of their own back
home, they're mere orphans - no
money to entertain company with.
Callers at their addresses need to
take their drinks with 'em - and
share those with the ministers and
the latters' sub officials, whom
they're calling on. Furthermore,
it's like going to a funeral to visit
such places.
Ambassador Hu Shin Of China
somehow manages to maintain a
pretty good lick. He gave cock
tail celebration the other day which
was quite a success. His recent
predecessor, DR.. c. T. Wang, had
to resign, his secretary. DR.. Y. F.
Lieu, told me, because his home
government couldn't finance him
any longer. and his own wallet was
empty. too. DR.. HUI Shin seems to
have resources Of his own.
All told, II looks like a dull diplo-
matte winter in Washington.
Evidently we're going to be de-
pendent on Lord Lothian, HUI Shin

gent. They're hardly enough to

All Nonsense

This. according TO DR.. Robin
son, is all nonsense. Low blood
pressure is not a disease, it pro-
duces no syndrome. 1t is by no
means a rare condition. In a
study of over 10000 persons, a
pressure under 10 normal 1907
was found in 25 per cent. The
percentage is higher in those
under 20 years of age and much
higher in women Of that age
$3.50. People over 70. however,
generally have a low blood pres
sure because it contributed to
their longevity.
The individual with low blood
pressure tends to be underweight.
- But such symptoms as lack of
stamina, easy fatiguability, head
ache and dizziness do not go with
low blood pressure necessarily at
all. In fact, they are more likely
to 60 with high blood pressure.
Can the person with low blood
pressure be an active individual
and undergo the rugged issues of
life? DR.. Hines answers this by
giving some case histories. Ex-
ample:
A 32-year-old man, GO inches
tall and weighs $50 pounds. He is
a teacher Of physical education
and coach Of athletics: he con-
ducts three daily calisthenie
classes, demonstrates with his
class on parallel bars, tumbling
and house work, and plays base
ball and tennis. He feels well and
has no complaints. His blood pres
sure is SO systolic, So diastolic.

Samuel C. Robinson gives some
support to my long expressed
views.
Most Of my correspondents
found they had low blood pressure
accidentally. They were not sick,
had no uncomfortable symptoms,
but on a life insurance examina-
ton or school physical examina-
ton, or preliminary to a job, it
was found. Long ago the symp-
toms of low blood pressure were
put down as occurring in a per-
son who lacked stamina, tired
easily, complained Of cold extrem-
tiles, and showed an inability to
do prolonged mental or physical
work.

Many Serious Flaws
In Army Operations
Shown by Games
Lack Of Support by
Heavy Weapons Cited
By Gen. Brees
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAMP BEAUREGARD, La, May
25.-Many serious flaws in Ameri-
can military operations and stra-
tegy were disclosed today by Maj.
Gen. H. J. Brees in his appraisal Of
the Army maneuvers just ended
here.
One of the most important con-
clusions by the commanding general
of the 9th Corps Area and chief
control officer of the war games in
which 10000 Regulars participated
was that lack of support by heavy
weapons, including artillery, was
painfully evident"
"Our infantry must learn that
trucks are not fighting vehicles and
that they cannot fight in trucks"
he reported. Travel in trucks is
going to be suicidal when truck
columns come under observation
and within range of artillery fire"
Gen. Brees' opinions were given
at a critique after speeches by 1t.

Gen. Walter c. Short, commander
of the Blue Forces. and Maj. Gen.

Theoretical Capital Exposed.
The three weeks maneuvers,
largest in peacetime in this country,
closed yesterday with Americas first
blitzkrieg which rolled back the
numerically superior Blue Army in
confusion and left its theoretical
capital, Alexandria, exposed to the
invading Red Army.
Gen. Brees concluded that:
Greater use must be made Of air
observation; the Army should never
neglect its facilities for supplying
men and trucks in the field; mech
anization of the fighting forces has
stepped up the need for increased
attention to supplies; the number
OF anti-aircraft units should be in.
creased; road reconnaissance by mo-
tor columns was noticeably poor;
motor columns barged ahead re-
gardless of security, road conditions
or terrain: intelligence officers
should be trained to analyze prob
lens more effectively and many
reconnaissance agencies attempt to
cover too much territory.
Before returning to home stations
officers will continue to study prob
lens and lessons of the maneuvers
until next week.

he lived. The thought of being able
to talk it all over with Romany
al dinner was the one bright spot IN
an otherwise bleak world.
Two scripts were finally record
ed. It was seven o'clock before they
were finished. Lane had left at i've
thirty. At the end Delacarte turned
to an engineer:
"How about playin' 'em back SC
T can hear how they sound?'
you'll have to wait till we take
| Uncle Toms Children off the air.
The older engineer looked very
tired.
By sitting and watching, Rom
any learned that they were picking
a show up from a network and max
ing it into a record. 1t was to be
rebroadcast later in the evening. she
was moer certain than ever that ra-
dio was the only thing in the world
she would ever want to do.
Baxter hid his disappointment
admirably when, weary and ols-
couraged, he suggested they Would
soon be ready to go to dinner. Rom
any had a twinge of conscience when
she told him she had promised Brent
| Nelson she'd dine with him. But
| she explained to Bax exactly now
she felt about it and told him it was
an important contact she felt she
Just couldn't miss. She suggested
they dine together the next evening
and he, good naturally, agreed 1t
was a date.
Outside, Baxter decided he had
much too great a headache tc
bother with food. So he took a long
walk, the play-back of his slaugh-
tered dramatic show running in his
ears. Finally he sat down beside
the lake and the music Of the water
soothed his tangled nerves.
After a while he had sufficiently
rested to analyze Bob Lanes advice
and decided if he intended making
radio drama his life's work he would
have to laugh things off. After all,
radio was such a new art, no one
knew much about it. 1t had be-
come such an important factor IN
American life, that it was better to

fences Delacarte gave him the
okay. Even he was getting weary
of the farce of casting, and decided
to move things along.
In a little more than an hour the
cast was selected and the actual
rehearsals began. Lane and Baxter
might as well have been sticks OF
wood, for all the attention Della
carte paid to them. And they, wise
", left him strictly alone.
Lane was fully aware that he had.
with cunning, selected a fool-prool
cast that would interpret the char
acters according to Hoyle and save
him the trouble of direction. 1t was
a smart move, since he knew abso-
lutely nothing about directing a ORA
matte show, nor did he have n
conception as to what PARADISE
was all about.
After running through the show
two times, Delacarte decided 1t was
ready to cut.
"Now," he yelled, watch your
step, We're ready to go to town."
Romany was excited as an engl-
neer got up and went to a table on
which rested the equipment needed
to a record show. She saw him take
a large record and place it on a
machine like a monograph, while
another man sat down and operated
buttons and switches on a board IN
front of the director.
Delacarte, with a stop watch IN
his hand, snapped his fingers and
the voice of Brent Nelson In the
opening announcement came into the
| control room from the studio mike
Bax sat with his head bent over, his
hand over his eyes, listening to the
vaguely similar dialogue as 1t was
interpreted by the familiar voice OF
Myra, radios darling.
To Romany it was marvellous, ano
she was like a child at a party. She
felt, too, that she vas learning much
that would help her later. She was
watching how closely the players
stood to the microphone, how they
held their scripts and followed the
director and his signals.
Baxter was living through the
| nightmare somehow, but he knew ne
would remember that day as long as
