The midget pugilist works his trick on subjects of great muscular strength, Coulon picks out any man Co. of giant build and defies his opponent to lift him off the floor, When the challenge is accepted, Coulon successfully resists every ef- fort to budge him by placing his fin- ger tips on his opponent's neck and wrist. It {s claimed that a man’s strength can be “short-cirouited” in this way and he rendered powerless. Charles Richet, famous medical ex- Pert, and other noted physicians have “examined Coulon’s trick with seien- tifle care. They witnessed a fruitless attempt on the part of Codene “weight-lifting clampion at the last Olympic games) to lift Coulon, Codene lifted Coulon with ease un- ul Johnny placed the fingers of his vight hand lightly on Codene's neck Just below the corners of the jawbone and the fingers of his left hand on Codene's wrist. ‘Then the champion's great muscles fafled to lift little Johnny an inch, In analyzing the phenomenon, the doctors agree that trickery or psychic suggestion does not enter into it at all. Experiments showed that anybody can perform the trick if the fingers ave properly placed, Dr. A. L. Aldinger, director of physical training and hygiene for fif- teen years in elementary and high schools of New York City, was asked by the writer to explain, !f possib!s, Coulon's trick “You cannot put your will into any physical effort when pain directs it elsewhere,” said Dr. Aldinger, “For instance, you can hardly double up your fingers when I press the inside of your wrist with my thumb, be- cause the pressure inhibits the ten- dons of the forearm from action the tendons, you know, control the strength of ‘the fingers.” The doctor then placed his fingers on my neok below the jawbone “Here is a very vital spot,” he Jaughed as he pressed, Producing a painful effe: am pressing a delicate bone called the styloid process. This bone covers veins, arteries and Ouch! If you don't belleve this will give you & short circuit, try it. Maurice Le- fevre, French boxer, inapired by Coulon's successful trick, has also in- troduced a puszling physical stunt with which to startle Parisian merry- makers and scieaife savants, To wit: A man Is laid on his vack ona table and two others, one on each side, try to lift hin, using only the x fingers of thelr hands placed the shoulders and knees The subject lifted should be above ordinary strength Whon the \ake deep breaths and, keeping the fingers in position, blow in between the body and the table a long rhyth mic blow, beginning at the shoulda: s and going down to the feet.

But if it’s a good fellow he gets nothing if he Stays or leaves.” ‘It think the men are a@ lot of hypo- erites,” said Mrs. Jarr “You never catch women clubbing in to buy any- thing for another woman, save the retiring lady president of a club. It's enough to have to fight with her clique to re-elect her, or with the er clique to have her deposed.” Vell, I'm through,” said Mr. Jarr. “These drives and collectors are all overdone, I don’t mind feeding the starving children of Europe, but these testimonial things are seldom got up for anybody who needs them.” “And you gave $10 to buy anything for anybody, as scarce as money has been this Christmas and New Year?’ asked Mrs. Jarr. “No,” gaid Mr, Jarr, “and T won't either. Nobody gets up anything for me, and I certainly am not going to be the goat any more!" Then Mr. Jarr t downtown and headed, the list with $20 to buy the boss a chest of silver for his wedding anniversary. Safety first, in case of danger of fire!" ‘i murmured Mr. Jarr.

As an Anno Domino it was no blank, There were floods, cy- clones and Bryan threatened to bolt the party. Events came thick and fast and Congress investigated ‘em thickly, but not so fast. One land- lord was found not cheating, It's been a tough year for the ultimate consumer, but no tougher than other years since 1580. But as 1920 passes there are plenty of dividends that are passing with it, ‘A review of the year shows symp- toms of ingrowing taxes and anaemic incomes. Some millionaires don't know where their next omelette is coming from. Prices have declined from Portland, Me, to Portland cement, Our liberty bonds will goon be within reach of the installment collectors, Wall Street is all upset, The brokers have switched to sell- ing stock in olive ofl wells in Italy, The coal situation is now clearing up. Coal will be cheaper by next July. Russian dressing still costs 600,000 rubles for a pair of shoes and 2,000,000 more for a suit of clothes, New York still holds’ its title as the greatest city of the world, including the underworld.

Yes, 1920 was stuffed with nimble events. Harding was lifted from the Senate to President, and Coolidge was demoted from Governor to Vice President. Kitchen work ‘became known as domestic science, and 5,000,000 college girls fell for it. Brave men brought down the price of clothes by wearing overalls, but they failed to cut the cost of ulsters by wearing overcoats. Hiram John- son is still in the Senate. That is, he is still compared with what he used to be. John D. claimed he had less of] in reserve than the Seven Foolish Vir- gins, and up went the price of gaso- line. The United States Shipping Board was found guilty of mistaking money for water and sentenced to thirty days on the front page.
