the heart beats 100 600 times and
re-circulates ten tons OF blood
1t is well to treat the delicate me-
chanism with respect. and learn the
rules for keeping it healthy
The man who may be a genius at
locating trouble in mechanical tools,
and a whiz at fixing them seldom
knows The most marvellous one. the
pump which beats inside his own
body Il is worth understanding,

can't be traded in when it begins to

develop IN various parts of it
The hearts function is not intri-
cate It's duty IS to pump blood
which has been aerated in the lungs
out through the arteries and bring
the blood back through the veins
The three main causes OF trouble in
this circulatory system OF heart and
blood vessels are rheumatic heart,
hardening OF the arteries, and high
blood pressure
The fact that heart ailments are
more common today than formerly
is because medical science has ad-
yanced the typical life expectancy
from less than 30 years to about 65
and much of the heart trouble shows
up in the later years
It is most common among three
types o. workers: executives. fore
men. and skilled workmen. This is
because these three classes drive
themselves with less respect for
their hearts than men in other
types Of work They often live high
pressure lives and won't listen to
doctor even when warned.
It 81 a good sense to have a gen.

John and Helen's married life was
a stormy one but they never sepa-

riage John took out a life insurance
policy naming his wife as benefici-

All premiums were paid with mo-
ney he earned as wages Two years
before his death, after a spat with
his wife, he had the insurance COM

from the name of his wife to that

insisting that they had to pay the
new beneficiary, Johns mother
Helen then sued the insurance
company for the proceeds of the in
surance policy and the supreme
court held in her favor
The court ruled that since the in
surance policy was paid for with
community property Johns wages
John could not change the name of
the beneficiary without his wifes
consent 1t is true that a husband
is the manager of the community.
but such right does not give him
the right to give away community
property unless his wife consents.
Therefore, it was beyond his power
to make his mother beneficiary of
his policy in place of his wife.

ChrysIer 10 Close
Plants 6 10 7 Weeks
To Shift 10 IS Model
BY the Assoeios.d Pres.

DETROIT, July 19.-The trade
paper Automotive News said to-
day all Chrysler Corp. divisions
will halt car assemblies for six
to seven weeks to allow for model
cleanup and to change to 1855
model output.
ChrySler did not disclose how
long the shutdowns would con-
tlnue, saying only that it planned
to utilize annual plant inventory
periods beginning in August"
for rearrangements of machines
and conveyors, and installation
of new equipment.
THE start of the inventory
period, as well as its duration"
Chrysler said, will vary from
plant to plant"
Output Rate SIackens.
Automotive News said:
With 1855 model introduc-
lions still far off, output rates
have slackened in all plants. !.
Although Chrysler Corp. divi-
sions are closing down earlier
and for longer periods this year
than last, model introduction
dates win be later, it was re-
tterated last week.
Last years public introduce
ton dates were: Dodge, October
z; Plymouth, October Is; Chrys-
ler Division, October %, and
Desoto, November S.
"Chrysler Corp. thus becomes
the first auto firm in postwar
period to revert to the prewar
practice of long periods for
changeover operations. Then it
was a production problem; now
1t is a sales problem.
Ford Closes on Week End.
Saturday work was almost
non-existent last week. Even
Ford division which had been
operating at least two plants
each Saturday, gave all it's
workers a full week end off.
Lincoln Mercury also was re-
sponsible for Ford Motors slip
last week, since it's Wayne
CMicho plant was down for two
days of inventory-taking, the
first since the plant opened in
October, 1852.
Chevrolet also has reduced its
schedules lately, as have other
GIN divisions. Cadillac, for ex-
ample. has reverted to a nine
hour day from a 10-hour opera

Magazine Reproductions of Stamps
In Noturol Co|ors Stir Criticism
By jones WoIdo Fowcett

The big news in the world
Of stamps right now is the
issue of Life magazine which
went on sale last Friday. It's
cover indicates why at a glance
because it contains full-Size
full-color facsimiles of .118
authentic postal adhesives.
Inside the May 3 edition of
the weekly are II pages of
similar : reproductions of
stamps and covers adding up
to what the editors of Life call
a stamp album worth 81 mil
lion." Eight of these pages are
printed in natural colors. three
in black ink only.
The average collector, seeing
the replicas. is certain to Won
der whether any statute has
been violated in making them.
An officer of the United States
Secret Service answers: There
is nothing unlawful about
these Illustrations" The edi-
tors of Life consulted the Sc
cret Service a year ago as to
the legality of proposed fac
SMILES of portions of United
States stamps in color and
were referred to Title 18,
United States Code, Section
504 (B) which forbids such
representations. Thus guided.
Life has refrained from vio-
lating the law. It also has been
careful to avoid full-size. full
color reproductions of stamps
of foreign origin currently
valid. All of the postal ennis
sions pictured on the cover Of
Life for May 3 have been de-
monetized. None of them could
be employed for postal pur-
poses now. The editors of Life,
therefore, are in line with au-
. thoritative opinion concerning
Title ID, United States Code,
Section 504 (A), and regula-
tions of the Secretary Of the
Treasury issued Hereunder
and published in CTR, Part
400, such opinion permitting
full-size, full-color portrayal
of demonetized foreign postal
issues.
No collector, then, need be
nervous about buying or pos
sessing those parts of the May
3 Life relating to stamps. AS
philatelic literature, they are
interesting and valuable. 1t is
to be regretted, however. that
they emphasize the specula-
tive aspect of stamp collecting
and stamp dealing. Only an
exceptionally wealthy philat-
elist could afford to be inter-
ested in a stamp album worth
ST million" The rarities pic
tured in Life's theoretical "col-
lection" are beyond the reach
of SO per cent of the stamp
