The author proposed that Americans r^lax. By relaxing she said that we would sleep better, talk better, and wklk better. . "Ameiicanjtis" is the name that: sh6gave to our peculair tenseness. .• Few' people, she said, know how to sit in a chair. The chair does not hold themi; instead they hold themselves on the "chair. They ref use td submit to the law of gravitation. Railroad travel exhausts them because they have never learned to „let go of their muscles. •: "• ' • S '•' i., Mrs. Call said that; the shrillness in the American voice was caused by talking wtfth the whole body. / "Take the "bone and flesh sound, from your voice," she advised. Relax the hands, shoulders, and feet. She noted that "Women talk all over themselves" and at the end of a party are utterly fatigued. She scorned the notion that one should brace up to a pain. Shfc said: "Most of the nervous fatigue suffered frorri dentist's work is in consequence of the unnecessery strain of expecting a hurt, and not from 3ny actual pain inflicted. The result obtained by insisting upon making yourself a dead weight in the chair, if you succeed only partially, will prove this." ^ Somg people have never learned to concentrate well because they try to think with their muscles. Tell one man to concentrate his mind on a difficult problem until he has worked it out, and he will clinch his fists, tighten his throat, hold his teeth together, and contract nobody knows how many more muscles in his body. ,-This is not concentration, Mrs. Call held. The man who behaves naturally, if told to solve the same problem, will forget that he has a body, and with a quiet, earnest expression, not a face knotted with useless strata, seek the answer.

What was surprising Was the fact that all except two of the crew were saved, due to the nearness of naval ve9els which were cruising in the vicinity at the time. This is the fifth large dirigible owned by the United States government to meet disaster, the others being the ZR-2, the Roma, the Shenandoah, and the Akron. Only one, the Los Angeles, now obsolete and out of commission, escaped destruction while in service. The ZR-2, built in England for the American Navy, buckled and exploded, over Hull, England, on August 25, 1921, causing the death of sixty-two of the sixty-six men aboard.
