low blood pressure. however,
which causes symptoms that
have been very puzzling.
These are the people who
have low blood pressure only
when they are standing up and
they are the typical examples of
the people who feel badly when
they get up in the morning and
feel fine as the day goes on
They feel badly because when
they get up they have suddenly
changed from a recumbent to an
erect position.
So long as they are recumbent
the blood pressure is equalized
and they have no sensation.
PRESSURE DROPS 4
When they get up the bloof
pressure drops very abruptly
and they are liable to have a
feeling of fatigue and malaise
and a general all-in sensation.
AS the day wears on, some kind
of adjustment takes place-their
blood vessels contract some

and that is why they feel bet

toms can be prevented by the

WORSE TO COME

The old man was proud, but
disturbed. He missed his wife
and boy. The two young ones
now were being ably tended
by his wifc's maiden aunt, and
were getting along all right.
But no one paid much atten-
ton to Jock. He sucked on
his empty briar, and brooded.
Things in the golf world
were going all TO pieces. He
did not even write the dismal
truth 10 his beloved Rennie.
when the exclusive Burning
Bush Club opened its gates to
greens fee visitors. Jocks
salary had been cut TO 81. 500
year. and there was prac-
tically no chance TO make adj
ditional money out of lessons
any more. Jock felt smirched
and diSgraced by having a
child of his helping to support
the family.
But worse things were TO
come. Even when his first
contract ran out. Jock Junior
stayed in Hollywood. He was
going to school there, in a
private progressive school at
tended by many other child
actors. Also. every now and
then nc received a short con-
tract for a single picture.
This was enough so Rennie
and he lived on a scale shock
ing to the cautious father. who
had little idea oFhow much a
prosperous front counted in
the movie capital.
GETS $50 4 WEEK
Then. playing opposite a
little girl with golden curls
and a wiStful smile, the
adolescent Jock Junior made
a great hit in a Harrington
picture. Immediately there
were fat contracts offered on
each side, and Rennie calmly
chose the most advantageous.
When her lad was signed up
for two years at $3.50 a week,
she sent for her two babies
and the aunt. She wanted
Jock to come also, but the
pipe-smoking Scot would have

chief pro at the club, and won
the Metropolitan Open Cham
pionship at Salisbury, he had
a good many club dinners and
other festive evening occa-
SionS TO attend.
These meant extra ShaVeS,
of course. and so along toward
the last fortnight in June, and
the last two weeks of Deem
Der Jock would have to take
his knife. carefully unscrew
the bit of soap remaining in
the end of the holder, take off
the tinfoil. and then soap his
wet beard with the quarter
inch of soap flake remaining.
PAY CUT IN HALF
But even if he had to get
along with a rather light
lather a few times, he made it
a private fetish never to
touch the newly-purchased
stick until the dawn of the
first of the month-January
or July. In time he became
highly pleased at the auto
matte way this worked out.
1t was one of the Stdnchions
of a sober, quiet life-and it
remained, even after the bank
shut down for that sad month,
and two mortgages the Nc
NeilS owned were defaulted in
the black days of 1882.
Jocks salary was cut in
half, and for a while it looked
as though golf was something
that had passed forever out
of American lite. There were
two more young ones now,
and Jock Junior was y a
bright lad. ready, able TO
break 50 on the 6.S50-yard
course.
He was good in school, of
course, and just now had been

IN THE GROOVE

But he did not 20 out very
much of nights, things being
as they were,
SLAVES INCREASE
However. ono morning Of
July land the year might
have been 1923-Jock put a
new refill stick of shaving
soap into his nickel-plated
holder. Oddly it flashed to
mind right then that it had
been exactly six months be-
fore. to the day, when he had
put in the stick that now had
shrunk 10 a wafer, and van
ished in lather.
The years came, and the
years went, and always now
on exactly the first of jan
uary. and the first of July, it
came about that Jock put a
newly purchased refill stick
in his holder.
Once or twice there had
been the wrath of the heel
of a stick left, but so little

ing everywhere. but no one
needed an assistant nowadays.
He grew more dour and
gloomy, gave up smoking, and
almost gave up eating. The
future looked black indeed.
When the new clubhouse was
a reality, he could work again.
But a whole year living on
savings? Mon! Mon
A PART FOR HIM
About the first of June,
Rennie, her eyes alight with
love. Unexpectedly appeared
10 throw her arms around her
stocky husband. The aunt with
Jock Junior and the two
youngsters. were coming in a
cab. She had just had to race
to Jock -. and tell him they
had a whole month now of
vacation, before work on Jock
Juniors new picture would
start.
This would be the last one
for four years. too. He would
60 TO college. and there would
be a place for him at the end
of that time if he wanted It.
"And dear" cried the
woman. there's a bit part for
you In this next picture. All
you have to do Is play a few
shots In front of the camera.
The hero will win, of course
but will YOU accept $500 a
week for. IL weeks"
"Hrmp," said Jock. els the
money gOOd?"
SIX SHAMELESS MONTHS
So it was that Rennie gave
the house a whirlwind clean
ing. incidentally throwing out
a whole half inch of shaving
soap which Jock was hoard
ing. OF course. she had for
gotten his fetish.
OF course. Jock found out
next morning. and was dis
turbed. A habit of years had
been broken. But Rennie was
talking, as he scowled blankly:
you'll have to have a bit of
beard, In the picture, Jock,
dear" she was saying. you're
an old-time British pro. You
better start letting IL grow
now ..
Then she looked up startled,
as the dour man. suddenly re-
lieved and happy, grabbed
her in a fierce embrace and
kissed her.
He would probably never
tell her, but in actual fact he
was happiest about not having
to shave for a while. The loss
of that heel of soap would
not matter now. lie could get
back in the grove again. and

would not have been looking
forward to college for each
child in turn, a competence
for old age for themselves,
and a stake for each young
ster who wanted to go into
business in later years.
Once on such a day of
poverty, Jock walked six
miles each way to the North
Shore Club on Long Island
Sound, TO get a bag OF CLUBS
for a member and patron. The
bus fare had been Is cents

that Jock made his curious
discovery, the tiny, incidental
one which later would bulk so
large 10 him. He had a sandy
red beard. rather luXurlant,
which he had TO shave every
morning-and then again in
the evening. if he was to make
any sort of social appearance.

The family budget became
