Some harrowing action, and apectaoular photography in "Souls at Sea," but nothing else. The plot has a historical basis, but the treatment is Hollywood at its phoniest.

Judg ing by what one reads in the newspapers and hears on the street, Japan is soon going to be about as popular as Germany was in 1914, when the march through Belgium started. In fact we feel disposed to crawl prediction. If the Sino-Jap war lasts as the United States will enter it, at approximately the same time it entered the war in Europe, sometime in its third year. And as we entered the world war because we feared a German vic tory, so we will enter the Oriental war because we will fear a Japanese victory, and HOW I Yes we admit this sounds perfectly fantnstio at the present writing, but underline that if " and don t cheer until three years have passed. Mayor La Guordia looks like something out of "Alice in Wonderland" a muscle-bound in a blue serce suit. And as far that is what he is, an incredible, unreal, topsy-turvy figure in Manhattan's political life, a hard working, courageous and ontircly HONEST chief executive. In a few months now, it will again be determined, whether or not an honest and capable mavor. can survive more than one term in this festering sink of corruption and political iniquity. From all we can learn alone newsnaper row the mayor really has a chance just as much chance as Tommy Farr had of lasting 15 rounds against Joe Ixmis.

For whether we like or detest the place, there is no doubt that Greater New York is America's Roma, not' only all roads, but all railroads and highways lead to it.

Normally the heart pump 9 ounce of blood at each beat, or aay TYi ton a day. Now I figured thia out carefully aeveral yeara ago, and . If any mathema tician discovers .Vij flew in my fig- urea i don t care to hear about it. Seven and a half tone may seem a good deal of blood for one lit tle heart to pump, but there It la. If you make It a ton more or lea than I do, let us drop the ubJeot and get onto something I know more about than you do. Everybody acknowledges that a reasonable amount of exercise dally la good for health. There may be Individual who can live for so yeara or more and never take any exer cise to apeak of, never walk any where If they can ride, never play any active game or do any atrenuoua work or in any way exert themaelvea physically. But I don't believe auch Individual ever amount to anything in the world, for I can't aee how they can have a good metabolism, an oxidation process active enough to dispose of fuel and hy-producta In the dally business of living. I never have been crazy about work, but atlll I am reasonably sure that a certain amount of physical activity I essen tial for the best health and the great est comfort in living. The heart la an involuntary mus cle. It reacts to demand mado upon the circulation by the voluntary mua clea used In any form of work, play or exercise. Even standing still is work; sitting Is work; for certain groups of muscles must contract con stantly to hold the body In either posture. That la why doctors are so Insistent that convalescents or pati ent greatly weakened'from any cause shall remain In bed even though the patient feel all right and want to get up and walk about or at least sit up for a while. The damaged or weakened heart muscle may not be capable of meeting the slight strain of sitting up pr standing up Just yet. Journalist of whom the profession 1 mightily proud.

RT MUSCLE The young heart, the heart of the growing child, has all tt can do to meet the ordinary everyday require ments of natural activity and boyish or girlish pranks, capers or game or play. It 1 especially important to avoid any unnecessary severe or pro longed muscular effort at this time of life, for the heart has not yet developed what doctors call reserve power to cope with such strains. A football game, for example, la a wicked Insult to the heart of a boy In bis 'teens.

"I'm judging just by what you have told me about him."' "You're jealous!" she said again. "I'm not jealous; I'm sore!" Janet laughed angrily. "What's the difference?" "Plenty of difference. I'm not the jealous type. You and I can't be together much. Well, I don't expect you to sit home nights wnen rm not here.

He's too old for you; he spends too much money; he's too slick!" "Oh, for heaven's sake! People are always warning me against poor Prescott as if I were a school girl! I can take eare of myself." "Somebody else has warned you?" he asked quickly. "He had no more to go on than jrou have." "Who was it?" "A lawyer here named Horace Kettering. A friend of my father's. "What did he say?" "Very much the same that you have said. When I pinned him down, he hadn't anything definite against Prescott." "Anyhow, I should think you would listen to a friend of your father's."

"Oh, I suppose I do. But when you make me angry, how can I feel it? What kind of a life would we have together if we got mar ried and you flew off the handle every time I spoke to another man?" "I don't fly off the handle every time. It's only Fanning. He's a crook!" "He isn't a crook! And I'm not f:oing to let anybody talk to me ike that! I left a good home and went to work and supported my self on my earnings so that I could be free and independent. If my people wish me to be on my own, I'm not going to let you dictate to me."

"I don't want to quarrel," she said, lowering her head, "but vou won't let me call my soul my own." i love you, ne said. 'That's not the right way to show it."

"Well, the nell with it then," he muttered. "I'd better leave you before I say something that I'll be sorry for." "I'm not keeping you." They parted abruptly. Before he had taken 20 steps, Neill looked longingly over his shoulder. But Janet was still marching' ahead, eyes front, and he scowled and kept" on. A second after he had looked, Janet looked over her shoulder, all ready to run to meet him, but Neill was looking ahead then and she kept on. Neither would look again. 'Everybody Knows Fanning . NEILL strode back down Charleg street with a burning coal at the pit of his stomach. The one thing clear to him was that he , must immediately make good his words that Prescott Fanning was a crook. Where could he find out something about him? Neill wag not well acquainted in Baltimore. Janet had let fall two names. The . first was Horace Kettering. Neill turned into the first drug store he came to and looked up the tele-, phone number of Kettering's of fice. He was too late: They told, him that Mr. Kettering had left for the day. Neill then called up, his house in the suburb of Guild- . ford but with no better luck. Mr. Kettering was not expected home to dinner. The other man Janet had men tioned was the manager of a well known hotel. Not difficult to get hold of him. Neill entered the marble-lined lobby of the Cecil Calvert and asked at the desk for Mr. Bromley. "He's in the bar if you don't mind stepping in there, said the clerk. Neill didn't mind. It was easy to pick out Mr. Bromley where he stood in the bar with a group of friends, because with his immacu late grooming and his air of good fellowship he looked like nothing in the world but a hotel manager. It occurred to Neill that he had better conceal his hand in this matter, so he ordered a drink and watched his opportunity. Presently Mr. Bromley strolled away from his friends. As he came by, Neill nodded to him in a friendly fashion. "Hello," said Bromley. "Do I know ,ou?" "Walter Patton is the name. I have stopped here before a couple of times, but I suppose you see so many faces you can't remember them all." "It's a fact" said Bromley. "Will you have one with me?" asked O'Neill. Mr. Bromley, having had a couple, was not averse to increas ing the load a little. Thev drank. Having thus broken the ice, Neill was able to ask: "Do you known a man called Prescott Fan ning? ' 'Sure. Everybody knows Fan ning." What sort of fellow is he?" 'Oh. an all-round snort u11. looking guy; built like an athlete; elegant dresser; free with his money; a general favorite.
