Medical School pathologist indicates.
A man with a large heart and
more numerous and bigger blood
vessels and cells can better ad
just to the low oxygen pressure
found at high altitudes, Dr. fcn-
rique Valdivia said.
"Should the oxygen pressure
suddently drop in the next astro

would have a better chance of
surviving if his cardiovascular
system were so constructed."
Otherwise an astronaut might
become headachy, nauseous and
out of breath. His toes and fingers
would begin to tingle. He would
probabiy even become too weak
to move if the pressure dropped
to half the 760mm of mercury
found at sea level.
Researchers now may have

mountain Indians of Peru and
Chile manage to work so hard
and avoid disease in the thin
mountain air.
Studies indicate these Indians:

huge "barrel chests" not found

The same factors that help the
Indians adjust to the high altitude

ry oxygen to body tissues.
The pathologist said, that even
though these mountain animals
have less available oxygen, the
greater number of capillaries arcl
able to carry enough oxygen to
the tissues. Thus normal activity
is permitted.
The next step was to find out
how non-mountain animals adapt
lo high altitudes.
The research team set up a
special pressure chamber in their
UW laboratory which reproduced
the high altitude environment of
the Peruvian mountains. They dis
covered the right ventricle of the
heart enlarged. This part of the
heart pumps blood to the lungs.
Valdivia concluded that high
blood pressure in the lung's ves
sels means extra work (or the
heart's pump. The strained mus
cles of the right ventricle must
expand to do their job properly.
Later studies showed that
as the animals "climbed the
mountains" of the pressure cham
ber, their capillaries began to in
crease.
Changes in the animals' muscle
cells were also found. These cells
contained a greater number of
mitochondria than those control
animals who were left "at home."
Mitochondria are the cell power
houses which convert body fuel
to chemical energy. Thus, high al
titude animals have more energy
available.

To Aid Problem Room
CHICAGO (UPI) What to do
about the "problem room" the
one that is too small, too large,
too narrow, or has irregular-size
walls.
If the room is too small, thel
Seng Furniture Co. here recom
mends using draperies the same
color as the walls, or with small
figured patterns. Stick to light
colors of blue, yellow, tan oi
blue-grey. And use the same col
or on the ceilings.
For the small room, scaled
down furniture and beds minus!
footboards are ideal. Concentrate
on small pictures and lamps.
For that too-large room, select
a large pattern for either draper
ies, upholstery or wallpaper, but
use only one large pattern to a
room. Use warm colors and dark
er shades on the wails. Consider
using over-size or twin beds, sep
arated by a generous-size night
table or chest. Large-patterned
rugs, larger pictures and wide
lampshades also are in order.
If vour problem room is
too narrow, paint the long v alls.
Paper one of the shorter walls
in bold colors or with horizontal
striped paper.
For a narrow room, avoid floor
coverings with patterns or stripes
running the long way. Shorten the
room bv building room-width
storage cabinets at one end.
If ceilings are too low, pa
per the walls in vertical stripes
or patterns, and paint the ceil
ings in a very light shade. Use
modern furniture with low, com
pact lines, and avoid using a bor
der at the ceiling. Select Holly
wood beds with low headboards
and no footboards.
For ceilings that are too high,
a common problem with old
er homes, paper the ceiling andl
bring the paper down the walls
for a short distance. You can also
select a wallpaper with a wide,
matching border.
With dormers, use sill length
curtains harmonizing with the
color of tlie walls. Put a low
bookcase, cabinet or storage
chest beneath the small dormer
window. Walls of deep dormers
can be papered or painted to con
trast with other walls of the
bedroom.

bly: Don't be snared by fads
or fashions. "The mark of a good
design is its ability to stand tlie
lest of time. If something new
appears on Ihc market, wait a
while to evaluate and re-evaluate
it." he said.
Resist status buying. "Keep
ing up with the Joneses is expen
sive." Knapp said Ihat an item
bought because it's "in" is mere
ly duplicating someone else's
tastes.
Shy away from overly-complex
furniture "Good design is
basically simple, with nothing to,
detract from the object's func
tion." he said. "If gimmicks are
there only to impress you, be
ware!" Know room measurements
and where the item will go. "Fur
niture or carpeting that looks
stunning in the store may be all
wrong for your home or your
way of life," he explained. "Re
member that colors look different
under store lights, compared with
