Many women also refuse to develop the lower register of their vocal chords because this has a tendency to enlarge their girth, Dr, Felderman said, "The vocal chords," he said, "are pairs of fibrous bands drawn sufii- ciently together to leave a fine open- ing called the glottis, The length of the glottis in the adult male aver- ages about 1.8 centimeters and in the female 1.0 centimeters. The stream of air flowing through the silt, or glottis, sets the vocal chords in vibra- tion, This in turn gives rise. to pe- riodic fluctuations on the-flow 'of air through the glottis, and these fluctu- ations create the sound waves."

But when the new labels appear, nobody fs to be permitted to smoke unless the label is "smoking." And, concludes this official (and this is the informa- tion which is really surprising), "smoking is allowed in 76 per cent. of the coaches, and it is not proposed to alter that proportion.
