Emily Post

This sos from a man: I'm
invited through a woman friend
to a large private dinner-begin-
ming with cocktails at a quarter
before 8. I don't know what the
men will wear and. as every one
is stranger to me, including the
hosts, and I don't know the GUS
toms, should I wear tails or tux
edo?"
: When in doubt, the rule OF
safety is to wear a tuxedo. You
will feel less conspicuous in a
tuxedo if the other men are in
tails than you would to be the
only man in tails. However, it is
definitely customary as we'll as
correct to call the house of the
hosts and ask whoever answers
the telephone, ''Mr. Jones would
like to know if at tonight's dinner
the gentlemen are wearing black
ties or white ties?

Ambassador Eliahu Elath presided
at tree planting ceremony in
front of the Embassy on Massa-

bush and Hebrew songs were

the ceremony and the Ambassa-
dor then took all of the children

BLOOD PRESSURE

Not very much is known at
present, about the causes of high
or low blood pressure. The writ
err has found that high blood pres
sure discovered in a patient, strikes
terror to his heart, even though
he has not the slightest idea even
of the mechanics of blood pressure.
The explanation is simple. "The
circulating machinery of the body
is comprised of pump-the heart;
the reservoirs-the arterial sys-
tenn, which is high pressure res
ervoir; and the venous system-a
low pressure reservoir. These two
reservoirs are connected by small
tubes-the arterioles and capillar-
les.
The pressure in the arterial res
ervoir is due to the fact that the
heart is able to pump blood into
the reservoir more rapidly than
it escapes through the small open
ings which connect the arterial with
the venous reservoirs. The size of
the outlet openings is controlled by
nerve centers, acting upon the mus
cular walls of the small arteries.
where they are made to dilate or
contract, as the needs of the body
may require. When the small arter-
les and capillaries contract, the
blood escapes less rapidly, and the
pressure rises as long as the heart
has energy enough to enable it to
respond to the demand made upon
it.
The limit of pressure rise is
reached, only when the pressure is
such as to force out through the
smaller openings the amount of
blood needed. to supply each one of
the great organs, or series of or
gans in the body. General blood
pressure may be increased for the
purposes of meeting the needs of
a single organ, as in cases of brain
anemia due to compression by a
clot, or any other mechanical cause.
High blood pressure usually ex-
lists also in chronic interstitial
nephritis kidney disease) as a
compensation for the crippled con-
dition of the kidneys, as well as
in general arterio sclerosis, (hard-
ening of the arteries). The chief
factors concerned in blood pressure
in health are the heart energy by
which blood is forced into the AFTER
ial system, the tone of the blood

Drugs alone are not reliable
agents of regulating blood pres

ering blood pressure, because it
reduces the volume of the circulat

amount of blood to be withdrawn
from the general circulation into
the skin. At the same time, the
total volume is lessened, because
water is poured out through the

sweating is valuable remedy in

Thus the wear and tear on the
organs of elimination is lessened.
The warm bath lowers blood pres

heart to pump the blood through

here of soft-cooked eggs, whole

one to start with. It can be
