‘Wrong Belicfs About : Exercise and Heart ‘ The old belief that the heart inrcreased in size according to the inicreased amount of work it Is called fupon to perform is a myth, Dr. Ma‘thias J. Seifert, Chicago, says in a study of the effect of exercise upon the heart, prepared for the Gorgas Memorial institute at Kansas City. If an athlete’s heart increases inm’ size it is not because of the exercise he has performed, but because there was something fundamentally wrong with it to begin with Doctor Seifert declares. z

“It 1s now found,” he says, “that the predisposition of the hecart to enlargement is the result of infectious diseases, such as scarlet fever, pneumonia, rheumatism and too strenuous exercise in youth, as well as to physie traumas. :

“Exercise for pleasure causes no enlargement of the heart, but on the contrary produces a strengthening of the whole body and, normally, even a smaller heart.” : :

Cubans Cling to Old Instrument of Death The one machine that the Spaniards are credited with having imported into Cuba 134 years age is still in use, It is the “garrots.” Instrument of death, which greatly resembles an old 'picture of an Inquisition machine of torture. For many years the garrote served the Spaniards, dealing death to Cuban rebels. Since the expulsion of the Old world rulers it has been used at the Havana penitentiary as the official instrument of execution. No place but in Cuba is the garrote used officially in executions. A pris. oner operates the beheading device and gets money and a time decrease in compensation for his services. The Havana garrote is said to have taken 184 lives since it has been in Cuban use. Before that it was used in executing Spaniards accused of high treason.—Kansas City Star.

On Molding Character

Now, it is better than nothing for a bad man to have one virtuous impulse; it is better than nothing for a man in a rocky field to find one place where there is soil and where a handful of corn will grow and wave like the trees of Lebanon; it is a glorious thing for a man to know that there i 3 womething im the world besides himself. and that he is not omnipotent, ommniscient, or omnipresent; it is a good thing for a man once in his life to feel little, and to know himself as he is; but how much better it would be if he could fix the vision and turn it into character!—Henry Ward Beecher,

Too Rough She didn’f understand football. “Why did they knock that man down as soon as he touched the ball?’ she asked. “Because he was trying to get a goal,” her brother explained. “But isn't the object of the game to get goals?” ' “Yes; but he was—you see, he’s on the other side. He was going the wrong way—that is, toward the wrong goal.” : , : “Well, I don’t see why they s’hould knock him down to tell him' that, Everybody makes mistakes.”—Montreal Star. Rejecting a Compliment

A well-known member of the stock exchange, who is now giving up the close of a strenuous life to philanthropic efforts, was in his hey-day a tremendous gambler in stocks, and, incidentally, he and his partner were rather expert in the gentle art of making enemies. One of these accosted him with the pleasant remark: “Look here, you are the biggest thief on the stock exchange.” “Ah,” was -the answer, “it is evident you do not know my partner.,”—London Tit-Bits,

Jail Bird

It was one of those little parties at which an out-of-town girl was a guest of honor. In the course of the evening she was introduced ‘to a young man from the prep school. After the introduction, she avoided him with the most deliberate intent. When her hostess asked for an explanation, the young visitor replied that he was from the prep school. The hostess looked perplexed. :

. “But isn’t it a sort of a peniten ttlary?” the girl ventured.

English Tongue in France

~ English in eleven lessons so equipped '‘twenty Paris policemen that they an;swered 850 questions in the new lan,guage. This encouraging result caused jthe prefect, Jean Chiappe, to order {250 more of the force to go to the ischool. Frenchmen who bhave adven{tured abroad suggest that a notebook iand pencil will help out the officers, ifor they have found it simpler in England and America to write their geusjtlons rather than wrestle with the foreign accent.

Snow Storm Formation

. Potentfally snow storms form in ?general region of warmth, strange as ’lt may seem. The area of low baromefric pressure, or storm sea, comes ‘whirling eastward across the Gulf istates and then generally takes a twist northward along the Atlantic seaboard. When sufficiently far north these warm air currents are chilled and the moisture becomes snow, very roften being borne to the earth by’ the back draft of east wind, !

Eastern Michigan Octogenarian Recluse Solves Economic Problem By Evading All Rent and Taxes

Henri Rabiteau, aged 82 years, is the “Robinson Crusoe” of East Michigan. For thirty years this old Quebec lumberjack has maintained his hermit cloister on False Presque Isle, near Alpena. Here he has “made a solitude and calls it peace.” He is that paradoxical individual, a sociable aemmit, but no one has ever penetrat+d easily donned cloak of tacigty and learned the reason for his i celibacy and seclusion. Henri himself explains it in various ways

and there is something about his gentle-voiced loquacity on this point that gives birth to the suspicion that Henri resorts to garrulity as a smoke screen to evasion, He has never. married. | :

One of his pre-eminent distinctions is that of having solved the problem of living expenses. He never pays rent or taxes. - . : Isle Becomes Peninsula , False Presque Isle received the,first third of its name because, before a beneficent government erected the big lighthouse to guide ships on their way, mariners often mistook it for the real Presque Isle—which is somewhere else. Another logical reason for this name is die to the fact that the lowering of the lakes and rivers has caused what was once an island to be a peninsula, connected to the ‘mainland near Bell by an isthmus so ‘marshy that only a man with rubber boots would be able to pass it.’ ' Henri’s sociable attributes are seen .in his demeanor toward visitors. He iwill come for his guests if one drives ‘to the end of the beach road and ‘then lustily yells for the recluse. |Scores of tourist visitors to East iMichigan seek out Mr. Rabiicau. Af‘ter the visitors’ throats are hoarse—

which may be the hermit’s test that one really wishes to see him—he emerges from the other side of the water, goes to the mainland beach, and gently inquires, “Did you happen to be calling for me?” j : Rabiteau lives in a two-room cabin set amid pine trees and his only companion is a cat, as black as Poe’s Raven, which immediately seeks the top branches of the tallest Norway on the place when the visitor appears. For seven of the thirty years he has lived on the place, Mr. Rabiteau had a man “Friday” to break the monotony of solitude, but the pal died. A’ Millionaire’s Meals

Henri gets to Alpena“once a year. In explanation of his failure to marry, he says: “I never cottoned to women' much. When I was young I wouldn’t have them and now when I am old they won’t have me.” ’

Rabiteau thinks that he got used to being alone when he lumbered the woods near where he liyes. As a boy he worked in Quebec lumber camps, then followed the trail of the pine to; Michigan. After thirty years in lumber - camps he settled to a luxury that he had anticipated for a life time—the satisfaction of fishing. For the last thirty years that is all he has been doing. That he is given to the philosophic meditation of the orthodox anchorite is manifest in his talk.

_ “Man can think out things for himself while fishing,” he says in his gentle expressionless mopotone; “and when fish are breeding I have just as good a meal as any millionaire.” . This Kast Michigan recluse leads his life of simplicity unharried by the disagreeable alternatives that confront residents of the densely populated communities. Speaking of rent and taxes, he declared without feeling: v : . “l don’t pay either. No, I don’t own this place. Thew ‘jest’ let me! live here. I guess they think an old chap can’t hurt the landscape any!” False Presque Isle is situated on: Lake Huron near Alpena, the bustling metropolis of Northeastern Michigan. Alpena is locaied on U. S. Highway 23 and is the center of a great fishing and hunting _ section. Good trout streams are located nearby and a: number of large lakes. Black bass, green bass, pike, perch and trout are the leading species of fish. Three golf courses are located in the eity. Alpena and the section thereabouts’ are popular with the vacationist and motor nomad, who call it ¥Summer’s’ Comiort Zone.” i

; Woman Driver Speeds Away ' William Jones of Howe escaped indury when an unidentified woman driving a Whippet automobile plowed into his machine at the side of the ‘road just north of Howe and speeded .away without giving name or address. . The road had just been freshly grav;eled and was rather narrow at the boint of the accident. When Jones 'saw the car bearing down on him he ’drove his car into a small ditch at the iroadside to escape a crash. The womian apparently tried to put on her brakes and thec ar skidded crashing linto the Jones car which was damaged to the extent of $75. The Whippet machine was also damaged but ';proceeded on.

| Strikes New Note. ~ Striking a new note ’in screen enftertainment “Chicago” a De Mille Studio production based on the successful stage play of the same name which will be presented at the Crystal Theatre Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday strikes a new note in picture production. boda oo

- In thep ast this type OL:); drama has been almgst wholly confined to the stage producers believing the success of a satirical pla}T to be purely local with the subject sarcasm well known to a certain gljup of theatre goers. But when “Chicdgo” was produced as a play the naﬂrionwide scope of the drama was self levident as it ridicules the dramatizing of murder trials and consequentlyéapplies to all communities alike. i

Roxie Hart the bdautiful “jazz siayer” of the stage play is ably interpreted by Phyllis Haver in the screen version' of ® “Chicago” while the husband is capita{lrly portrayed by Victor Varconi. The criminal lawyer by Robert Edeson and other prominent roles are Ecapab.ly portrayed by May Robson, Virginia Bradford and T. Roy |Barnes. The direction by Frank Urson wag exceptionally good. Thrpugh the supervision of Cecil B. | DeMille the screen version of “Ghi&ago“ includas an emotional strength |absent in the more superficial stage| presentation. The picture is worth hile.

One Cow vs A Dozen Analysis of more than §lOO.OOO yearly individual records from cows on test in dairy herd impro’vem’pt associations indicates that on the faverage._ COWS that produced 100 poux_l(rls of butterfat a year returned §l4 ea h over cost of feed; those that produckd 200 pounds, $54 over cost of feed; 300 pounds $26 406 pounds $l3B and E‘PO-pound cows returned $l7B over cost of feed. Thus the man miling a 800-éound‘producer would have more return than if he milked a dozen 100-‘po’ nd cows, aud this would take no {::count of the iadded labor of milking and caring for the larger herd or of the much i'greater expense of p oviding stable room for a herd instepd of a single animal.
