There a deliberate effort was made to stir up the populace of the Flowery Kingdom against an alien people. Why this was done is not hard to imagine. Miserably crowded together and oppressed by poverty such as we have never known, the Japanese peo- ple are enduring a Gethsemane much more severe than that of other na- tions.

The nine states which would be left to shift for themselves are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa- chusetts. New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey.

It is much too grotesque to invite the serious consideration of any save theorists and day dreamers. The obvious answer to those who maintain that nine eastern states control congress is that the other 39 —\(@ ZS £3 Ped ~~ & ( zs = << 5 ide WwW = PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

When the diaphragm contracts it pushes or squeezes down on the stom- ach, liver and other organs and pushes out or expands the belly. At the same time it tends to enlarge the capacity of the chest cavity and that causes air to enter the lungs. So when the diaphragm contracts we inspire or také in air. Then the diaphragm re- laxes, rests, and the air rushes out of the lungs or is expired, wholly through the elastic recoil of diaphragm, lungs, chest wall, belly and not from any muscular effort.

Answer to Previous Puzzle New York, Jan. 20.—A certain mus- cle-boundness seems to be bothering the newer giants of architecture in Manhattan. It begins to look as though the sky might be the limit. Most recent cause for wonder and amazement in this connection has been the mercurial changes in the new super-super Rockefeller Center thea- ters. Already the vast and gadgety Music Hall has put in movies and the snug, charming Roxie Movie House has been temporarily shut up. The seemingly unlimited staging possibili- ties of the former are, for the mom- ent, secondary to the simple movie screen, * ¥ ® CURIOSITY PLAY Something of a similar shock came when the Empire State building, in spite of the international fame achieved, found vast areas of its space echoing emptily. It was the tower and the novelty which drew the crowds at $1 per head and which brought in a vast revenue. Now, at movie prices, the Music Hall will draw throngs—but something must temporarily happen to the original purpose.

On the first visit of this troupe to New York, the lobby was Guarded by Manhattan gendarmes and there was heaving of over-ripe fruit. Well, the players and playwrights have survived all this—and their po- sition in the theater has been estab- lished. The Provincetown Players were the closest American parallel.
