Here is a burning problem for mathe- maticians. Can a man 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 164 pounds, well-nourished thick-shouldered, deep-chested, with most of his weight carried aloft, squeeze through a smooth, fron-bound porthole thirteen inohes in diameter? Remember, he is a stowaway anxious to escape from a ship and become a free American; that he has two burly companions pushing him through and various ‘longshoremen hauling him out; also remember that 13 Inches, multiplied by 3.1416 according to the good old formula of school boy- hood, shows that the circumference of the porthole 1s 40.8158 inches.
