In keeping with ine time-Dnut and Toiletries at Cut price at JAR MIN fl DRUQ STORK. ., Editorial Correspondence LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 9. Drove down here from San Francisco in one day, and as far as can be discovered the old green bus: didn't shake any of its vital parts along the right of way, although at times it gave an excellent imitation of some giant shaking a peck of, loaded dice in an empty ash can. We have come to the conclusion, however, that after a car has been driven pretty steadily for six or seven years, internal noises should bo ignored. If the darned thing runs, and the various and sundry gauges register as usual, just keep on feeding it gas and oil, and rise above whatever discords may emerge from the internal recesses. In other words every driver of an antique car, should not only be tone deaf," but something of a philoso pher. (U'NLESS of course he is blessed with a mechanical mind, which we have concluded is about as rare in this life, as a logical one.) Between King City and Pasa Robles who should appear at the side of the highway with two other receptive hitch-hikers, but our chauffeur of the trip down from Medford, young Snyder of the broken foot and we subsequently learned completely, deflated poeketbook. Earl that is his given name hadn't found much luck. After leaving us Wednesday night he finally got a lift as far as Salinas, and another for a short distance in a farmer's wagon-lit, but he had been forced between times to walk, considerably, which as everyone knows is about the hard est break a good hitch-hiker can encounter. Earl's nice new shoes were dusty and he was in need of a shave, but the smile of joy which spren'd over his features at the sight of the green bug, immediately overcame these superficial deficiencies, yes we doubt if anyone was ever HAPPIER to see your corre spondent, than was this young man I We were glad to see him, too, for it gave us a chance to cat luncheon (consisting of one bottle of milk, a box of graham crackers and a nickel's worth of cheese) without losing any time or mileage extremely im portant when one has a 450 mile run on his hands before sun down. Earl "chauffeiircd" from Etascadcro to Hollywood, and did a fine job of it. We just left him, at a Dutch windmill on Sunset Boulevard, where he intended to phone that cousin who has a radio job for him. Here's hoping he gets it, becomes caught in the wave of prosperity, which is bound to come before he is too old to enjoy it and. makes a MILLION 1 No one can motor on this const and nqt become impressed with the fact that there is such a thing as a "Burma shave." Wo don't know how many years we havo been rending these signboard quips about Solomon's whiskers and Jonah's shaving brush but it seems like half a century- at least. Yet we have never used the Burma shave nor have we happened to ever hear of anyone who HAS. Someone must of course, for this highway advertising costs something, and the clever lads who think up the quips, must have something more substantial to cat than shaving cream, even if it is from Burma. Being in the news paper business we may be prejudiced no doubt arc but after having read Burma ada for nearly 1500 miles, we are wondering if the highway IS the PLACE to put them ! Certainly these bundle stiffs who have to read them all day, can't feel inclined to purchase a pound jar aud swab their tnngled underbrush, before they sit down to their can of mulli gan. We don't know how most motorists feci, but we don't like shaving talk,, mile after mile, when on a pleasure trip or a business trip for that matter. But perhaps we are peculiar in this respect wo never liked a talking barber. But the point wo wish to make which is purely a selfish one is why doesn't Big Chief Burma call off road signs and try newspaper advertising for a change. We have a hunch that the reaction on the average motorist, forced to take his eye from the road to read these dumbed verses for who can resist thorn t vows when he puts up his car that night, that he may shavo in the morning but gosh durned if he will use any of that Burma, that has been threatening to put him in the ditch all day. Speaking of signs there were two on this trip which AliKESTED our attention. One in the Sacramento canyon which read "Free shampoo AHEAD !" The other this side of Ataseadero "Buy AMERICAN, Tony l'inderio, Gas and Oils, Pismo Beach!" Positively hot in Los Angrics everyone says the first poo-1 weather in three weeks. Nenr Santa Barbara, Mexican children were running along the road from school, KAREFOOTED. At Pismo bench, a gang of Japs, men and women, were picking garden peas on tho hill slopes, acres and acres of them. They were moving fast too, squatting along, never rising. They wore gay colored headdresses, and looked as though they were having a good time. Tho white races would never do that! R. AV. R. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK, Feb. 10.

Normal young adults have only limited chest expansion, perhaps 1 Inches. Individuals who have a chest liwf-wl expansion of X . ' .0lP59rV I mnr t.hnn t.wn Inches have learned by prac tice to contract Vie pectoral And i shoulder girdle muscles to achieve the freak 1 effect. They have no greater vital capacity, that Is, total air capac ity of the lungs, than have other Individuals who have never practic ed this quaint stunt. Chestlness, a tradition of old time trainers and nineteenth century soldiers, .has gone out of fashion along with the notion that athletes required more meat than ordinary folk and the notion that strength, agility or endurance can be rubbed In. Physicians .have discarded he tape measure In the examination of the chest, and nowadays . the doctor measures the chest expansion only when filling out an examination blank for some shoddy Insurance company or a civil service rite. The Insignificant enlargement of the capacity of the upper half of the rib cage with Inspiration Is due to the elevation of the sides of the cage or flanks somewhat In the manner of a bird flapping his wings. But this aspect of breathing, here tofore greatly overemphasized. Is only incidental to the main aspect of breathing, which Is the action of the diaphragm. The working of the diaphragm Is shown by the ex pansion of the belly. If you give any attention to your breathing, your circulation, your physical fit ness, you should watch your belly and never mind your chest. (If this should come under the eye of Aunt MeYiitabe let me as sure her there la no other word for it.) The right way to breathe, for good health, good looks and efficiency, is the natural way. That Is belly: breathing. j We are not talking about "deep breathing." People who stress tfiat, are generally Ignorant of the nhvs-1 lology of breathing. So' are people! who talk about "diaphragmatic ' breathings." The purpose of conscious breath ing exercise Is not to get more oxy gen Into your blood, for you can't do that by breathing alone. The main purpose of belly breathing Is to boost your circulation. Some general suggestions: Never think of your breathing ex number of the Jobless, and they are anxious to obtain the reduction while the present upswing Is still compara tively young. It would be easier to bring it about now, they believe, than later, al-1 though they are harboring no Illu sions as to the difficulty of obtaining an agreement at any time for cutting hours to a point below present code requirements. In addition, they have their eyes upon the 8,000,000 estimated to be employed by industries which have code pending. Through Increased business activity and codification they hope to expand this number by at least 1,500.000. Theoretically, therefore, by reduced hours and business expansion they expect a minimum re-employment In the aprlng months of 4.000.000. and whether this number la Increased Is dependent upon the extent of the re newal of Industrial activity. As always, figures on unemployment are nebulous and subject to contro versy. In senate debate on the P50. 000.000 CWA appropriation, various estimates were given ranging from 8.000,000 to I0.0O0.000. . Re-employment sin re last spring ts estimated at 4.000.000. The public, works administration. It was brought out today, Is stilt faced with the difficulty of getting work started upon projects for which loans have been approved.

Each night when you get to bed He supine, knees flexed, one hand resting on belly. Through open mouth draw a slow, full even breath and notice how the hand rises as the bellows expands. No straining. Hold the breath a mo ment, then let the bellows deflate passively, like an Inflated rubber bag, and notice how the hand sinks. Repeat this from six to a dozen times at the seance.

QUESTIONS AMI ANSWERS la nan a What vitamins and minerals are contained In -the banana? (Mrs. E. P. G.) Answer Fresh ripe banana Is an excellent source of Vitamins A, B. C, and a fair source of Vitamin O. Banana contains little or no Vitamin D. Some Investigators nave detected traces of Vitamin E In ba nana. Banana Is only a fair source of mineral food sulphates, chlorides and phosphates of potassium, sod ium, magnesium, calcium and Iron. Still, ripe banana Is a fine food, especially for sickly, puny, costive, undernourished Infants and for older children who suffer from constipa tion and for adults with colitis. Re member, I am speaking only of raw, well ripened banana.

Interrogation of neighbors, offi cers state, revealed that It was com mon neighborhood knowledge that Williams was in the habit of car rying money on his person. The of fers were told by some of the resi dents of the community, they report, that gossip was to the effect that the farmer usually had a fairly large sum of money in a sack pinned in side his fthirt. No money was found on the body at the time It was located by search ers, it is reported, and the robbery theory is further strengthened by blood Btalns upon the chest of the murdered man. COLUMBUS.

( AP) President Roosevelt was requested to demand a "free and unhampered flow of news" from all future In- s ter national conferences In which the United States participates In a reso- j lution adopted by the Buckeye Press association today. i The resolution urged the foster- j lug and promulgating in foreign countries ot, the American principle of "freedom of the press." Tho association, meeting In con Junction with the Ohio Newspaper association, also demanded that the freedom of the press" clause be in serted in any code that mlg.ht be drawn and under which the news papers must function.
