Naturally none of Hill's friends would be members of the Anti-Jap league. And naturally enough, Mr. Sam Hill rises to remark to the immigration committee that the league doesn’t seem to have any “prominent citizens.” Which cit- izens are prominent? Ah, that’s for Mr. Hill to say. The ‘ones he fraternizes with, both here and in Japan, no doubt. To sum it up, Mr. Hill is against assimilation, against un- | restricted immigration—and for what? For more talk and jno action. Wear Loose Collars—All the Time ‘Tight neckwear, as you probably know from personal experience, ts | |most uncomfortable, particularty in the summer time. At any time, tho you may never have suspected this, it ts apt to be dangerous as well as) | uncomfortable. Hygienists, in fact, have long tnsisted that the constrictive action of ltight neckwear may impair both health and efficiency in a general way |by interfering with the circulation of the blood. There are physicians | who go further than this and attribute specific disease symptoms to Ught neck wear. Thus we find one Engtish physician, Dr. W. C. Walford, enumerating |headache, indigestion, vertigo, high blood pressure, lumbago, rheumatic aches, and even heart disorders as being on occasion directly or indirectly caused by the wearing of collars, neckties, dresses, or shirts that fit too snugly in the neck. So important does the subject appear to Dr, Walford that he has written An entire book about It, In the course of which he narrates numerous instances of ailments which he haa cured by the simple method of pre- scribing loose neckwear. In many cases he reports astonishingly rapid relief. And as regards sundry common maladies, he also reports expertmental evidence going to show a direct causal connection between tight neck- wear and the malady tn question. For example: “A friend of mine, healthy and loose-necked, adjusted « sphyemnometer fan instrument for measuring the blood pressure) on his arm. The index pointed to 120. “He next changed bis coflar for a smaller one not long previousty dis carded. In an hour and a half the tndex pointed to 155. The blood pressure had risen about @ fifth Feeling his head full and uncom) fortable, he gave up the experiment.” Dr. Walford demands: upon the circulation thru the brain? | “The brain demands the blood, the heart hag more work to do to supply |{t, and so the blood pressure is raised, not in the head alone, but ail over the body as well.” bs Similarly, it is clear, constriction, tf long continued, may theoretically Dr. Walford | |warns that it actually does cause them. On this view the improved health enjoyed by many during the months of summer may not be due wholly to better alr conditions. The loosen- ing of neckwear in the summer may play at least an important con tributory part. And such loosentng, despite the dictates of fashion, should prevail after | the summer is done, For health, it goes without saying, is immeas- urably more to be desired than compliance with fashion's decrees, Blaming It on the Women Ninety-nine one-hundredths of all the crime committed is due to women's clothes! Who soys it? Polles Superintendents G. J. Lacy and C. G. McGray, of Texas, in a signed statement reporting the findings of a six-month probe of Southern crime causes, The gentlemen go further: “It is possible to include everything from the divorce evil to the late world war to what women wear—or don't wear.” There does seem to be a trifling absence of “chivalry” in the report of these police chief gentlemen, who went out on a still hunt for the “causes of the social evil” and discovered that 99 per cent of all crime is due to what women do or do not wear. There in one rather striking omission in the findings of the two sleuths. Their report is completely silent’ on men's share of the “re sponsibility for the social evil.” It is a significant fact that the allegorical story of the creation starts out with the assertion by chivalrous man that “the woman ave me and I did eat.” “Blaming it on the woman™ has been the prime indoor sport of men ever since. These police chiefs are following a long line of precedent. | Blaming women's clothes, from the time of the fig leaf down to the time of the backless gown, is about as far as men ever seem to get. Isn't it about time to let women have a chance at the problem? Poland’s Lesson Pity for Poland tn her present plight means condoning an imperialistic adventure which showed no respect for the allies and contemptuously dismissed all warnings of disaster. ‘The allies gave Poland her freedom, which she was unable to win for herself. The peace conference fixed Poland's boundaries in a spirit of large Mherality, Pven Danzig was separated from Germany to appease Poland's ambitions. But, Poland grew greedier. Poland's first act upon recelving sovereign powers was to brush aside her just boundaries and proceed to neck new territory at the point*of the sword. This is the sole reason why | Poland is now overrun by the soviet forces. The Poles were en- | cou aged by France, but by no other power.
