JAMES W. BARTON WHEN a number of research and practicing physicians form an organization or council to find out all possible about an ailment and pass this information along to other practicing and research physicians, much is likely to be learned about that ailment. Thus, in Great Britain, there was formed some years agp what is known as the Asthma Research council and at each annual meeting progress for the previous year is reported. Although there are various causes for and types of asthma, one method of treatment has shown very satisfact o r y r e s u l t s f o r many years, not only in the hospitals where these asthmatics receive this special treatment but everywhere else. This special treatment is exercise or exercises. The asthmatic chest is barrelshaped because the lower chest and abdominal muscles remain distended--the breathing being all done at the upper part of the chest, the lower part of the chest -- the diaphragm-- scarcely moving at all. The object of the exercises is to teach the patient to. breathe with his diaphragm or abdomen. Three groups of exercises are described in the little book "Physical Exercises for Asthma," ILake Mrs. Margaret Grabbe returned to her home at Crystal Lake Friday evening, after spending' a few months her® with her daughter, Mrs. Walter Vasey.

Singer of Wau-j doesn't do any more physical work, eonda spent Sunday evening with Mr.) and gets as much rest, he repeats Exercises Explained. Although the exercises vary somewhat, the breathing is the same in all--a "short" breathing in of air through the nose, followed by a gentle but long breathing out through the mouth. During this breathing out through the mouth, the patient makes an F or S sound with the lips or teeth to fix his attention on blowing out as long as possible. During the breathing in, the upper part of the chest muscle must remain still, the abdomen rising during this breathing in. With the breathing out the abdomen contracts or draws downward very slowly. It is recommended that the exercises be practiced for at least 10 minutes twice each day. For asthmatics and all interested in asthma, this little book should prove of great value. It may be obtained by sending 25 cents to Asthma Research Council, King's College, Strand, London, W. C. 2, England. The name of the booklet, as mentioned above, is "Physical Exercises for Asthma." • • • .

It is estimated that the average individual uses up about one half of the food he eats to supply the body's needs--beating of the heart, breathing of the lungs, the digestion and absorption of food, separating harmful wastes from the blood and carrying these wastes to the skin, lungs and lower bowel to be thrown out of the body. Calories Not Used Up. This means then that the overweight individual taking in 3,600 to 4,000 calories of heat units of food uses up 1,800 to 2,000 of these units in just supplying various processes of the body with their needs.

If, then, the overweight individual were to cut his food exactly in half he would not put on a single pound of fat. If he took some regular exercise-- walking a mile daily--resting one hour less in the 24 hours, he would take off some weight because it would require some of the fat tissue on his body to supply the energy for the exercise taken and for the loss of the hour's rest. If, however, the overweight individual were unable r * unwilling to take exercise or do without one of his resting hours, but cut down his food by more than half (say from 1,800 calories down to 1,500) every day, then 300 calories or heat units would have to be supplied by the fat on his body to make up the 1,800 units his body needed every day to do its work.

The usual baby chick losses can be greatly reduced this spring and summer by (farmers and poultrymen if they will buy their chicks from U. S. pullorum-tested hatcheries and flocks or from hatcheries known to maintain very rigid inspection over their breeding flocks. Records show that pullorum disease is second only to fowl paralysis as a cause of poultry losses. Several lots of chicks have been tested at the college laboratories this year. Diseased birds have come from out-of-state hatcheries but none from hatcheries operated under the U. S. Poultry Improvement plan. Flocks managed under this plan have been pullorum tested and all reactors removed. Those showing 10 per cent or more reactors cannot be used as breeding flocks until a retest shows that the disease has been cleared up. A constant temperature and strict sanitation measures are essential in keeping losses to a minimum where a slight infection may exist. Heat of Earth „. k* on Increase Grafting or Budding Is Easy for Horticulturist There are usually only two methods in grafting or budding fruit trees, says a writer in the Montreal Herald. Grafting is done in spring before or just as growth is starting. In grafting over fair sized or large trees this may take from three to five years doing a third to a fifth of the tree each year. The process is to saw off the limb at the desired point. The stub is then split through the center and a narrow wedge driven into the center of the stub to keep the split open until the scions are inserted. Meanwhile twigs of last year's growth which have been taken from the desired variety some time ahead and kept in a cold place to keep them dormant are cut into three bud lengths and the lower end trimmed in the form of a long wedge to match the split in the stub. In trimming these make the outside a little thicker than the inside so that the pressure will be greater along the outside where the union takes place. In inserting the scions one on each side push the bottom slightly inward and the top slightly outward and thus insure contact of the cambium or growing tissue. When in place, take out the wedge, bind around with damp raffia and use grafting wax to seal up the top of the stub and about the scion. . 'Weeping Tile' :: "Weeping tile" is the name often fiven to "ordinary farm drain tile These tile are unglazed, clay tile, one foot long, such as are used by farmers for the construction of un derdrains in wet land. It may be of interest to know that the term "weeping tile" originates from the idea that, in order tq be effective, water has to percolate through the walls of these tiles. The fact is, however, that no such percolation takes place, the water in the soil entering the drain through the joints between the lengths of tile. In fact, the best quality drain tile are those with the least porous walls; tile with an ability to absorb a large amount of water when allowed to soak are usually rejected because of insufficient burning in the kiln.

Scientists Generally Agree Atom Warfare Peps Up Rays of Sim. PHILADELPHIA.--The sun will not start to cool off tor at least another 10,000,000,000 yean, according to a symposium of scientists held liere jointly by the American Philosophical society and the Franklin institute. The orb has lasted at least 5,000,- #00,000 years and perhaps 100,000,- 000,000 years, and avoids burning itself out by utilizing the cores of carbon atoms, the scientists were told. Dr. Henry Norris Russell, professor of astronomy and director of the Princeton university observatory, explained the theory developed by Dr. Hans Albrecht Be the, former professor at the University of Munich and "now professor of physics at Cornell university. . _ Sn Absorbs Energy. Briefly stated in lay terms, "Doe*, tor Bethe's theory holds that while, earthly creatures consume the out side of carboh atoms with oxygen . the sun absorbs the energy from the cores of the atoms. Carbon, it was explained, is the basic constituent of all matter. Warfare Gives Off Energy. Doctor Bethe's theory found thai on the sun atoms of hydrogen and carbon "bombard" each other until a nitrogen atom results. The nitrogen is further bombarded by hydrogen and helium follows. The process continues until the helium ends as carbon again. While the little warfare of the atoms progresses, the scientists explained, energy is given off. The atomic energy contained in a sugar cube, Doctor Russell said, could drive a transatlantic liner to Europe and back, if it were properly harnessed. He used the illustration to demonstrate how much energy must be created to supply the heat given off by the sun. To supply the sun's heat for one second, he explained, 10,000,000,000,- 000,000 (ten million billion) tons of coal would have to be burned. If the sun were burning itself up, as earlier theories held, he asserted, it would have lasted only 6,465 years. He estimated the sun's loss of energy at 4,200,000 tons per second. Theory Fits Data. Doctor Bethe's theory fits all available data, and has been accepted by many scientists as the answer to how the sun manages to continue its heat and life-giving existence. Further, Doctor Russell, expanding on the Bethe theory, found that the sun is gradually growing more luminous and the earth's temperature will increase about 1 degree Fahrenheit in 100,000,000 years. Eventually, he said, the torrid and temperate zones of the earth will be unlivable from the heat, and the population, some millions of years from now, will be found only at the North and South poles. Other findings of the symposium brought out that the earth, Venus and Mars, while millions of miles apart, have a common elementiron-- as their core. Mercury and the moon, on the other hand, have centers of solid r o c k . . . . The earth and the sun have the same elements in common, in almost identical proportions, except for hydrogen and helium, which are more abundant on the sun. The atmosphere of the sun is almost chemically pure hydrogen. The temperature at the center of the sun is 7,400,000 degrees. Washington Washington, August 2--Though the Congress has not yet stopped work, the various political parties are all set for the "claiming" race. The pro. fessional propagandists from both major political parties are in constant conference w|th )the legislators in preparing their versions of broad partisan "victories" over the opposition. The bulk of these claims will be printed in copies of the Congres' sional Record which appear somewhat ^posthumously--after tihe curtain is down and when they cannot be easily contradicted. pensions. A powerful Southern bloc has held out for this plan against the wishes of the Administration which is opposed to the idea of saddling ttfe central government with such a large share of the burden. The Federal agencies are afraid of the precedent it would establish by encouraging the states to shift their costs to Uncle Sam on other matters. Employers and others contributing to old age pensions would like to see the present rate of contribution "frozen" instead of automatically boosted next year. It is unlikely that Conress will leave this subject unfinished because of the present deadlock between the Senate and House. The Townsend movement which has been sidetracked would probably have a new lease on life if Congress sidestepped the pension controversy. With debate waxing warm over' the effects on the new spending program ,on the state of the nation, small attention has been paid to the frank admissions of Senaor King, old-line Page Three tion to the spread of the Garner boom by his tirade against the Vice President and automatically heightened the picture drawn by anti-Lewis critics showing that dictatorial labor leaders are to be watched by all classes; also that Lewis has weakened his hold over his own C.

Echoes from talk around town uncertain. The President has until | that John L. Lewis unwittingly, permidnight Friday to sign or veto this haps, made a tremendous contribumeasure. The uncertainty is keeping the camps at each end of Pennsylvania Avenue on tether-hooks. If vetoed, Congress is not likely to adjourn without a strong effort to override the Presidential disapproval. When you consider that a two-thirds vote of the Senate and House is necessary to overcome a veto, it is small wonder that the legislators are puszled and worried. The enactment of the measure to curtail political scandals through use of Federal money in the elections has obtained such widespread popular support, if the volume of correspondence reaching here is a true index, that Congress could not very well shut up shop and ignore the issue raised by a possible Presidential "thumbs down" attitude. A current article by Raymond Moley, the original Roosevelt "Brains-Truster" pointing out that an attorney-general usually gives an opinion on the constitutionality of a matter the way the boss at the White House wants, adds to the Chief Execute's dilemma in finding an "out" with the Hatch bill.

In this way land "worn out" • will be revitalized, stockmen said. Surplus feed crops make this possible. Breeding herds have not been increased, and the ranges have been freed of 200,000 head of cattle and calves at high prices. As much of the remaining stock as possible is kept in feed lots. Ranchers say it will be several years before they restock the ranges to the extent they have been during the last few years. "It can do more in one year for West Texas stockmen than Washington can do in 10 years," said Joe Evans, cattle owner and Tsion man.
