HERMAN YAHNER, Secretary, 3t Star Route, Patton, Pa. SHOULD BE CEILING ON BLOOD PRESSURE There should be a ceiling on blood pressure. High blood pressure over a long period of time shortens life. A terrific strain is forced upon the heart and blood vessels. Everybody's blood pressure ris- es now and then. During extraordinary physical exercise or moments of strong em- otion such as fear, anger and also and then will return to Ohio, where | grief, the heart beats more quick- : [1y. Pumping more blood through the body is Nature's device for pro- viding vitality needed in emergen- cy or danger. If a person persists in worrying | or is driven by fear over a long period, high blood pressure may result. Overexertion, mental or physi- cal, continued for a sufficient time is one of the chief causes of high blood pressure. Symptoms of high blood press- ure are breathlessness or pain in the chest on exertion, lack of en- durance and easy fatigue, gaseous distention of the abdomen, and throbbing headaches. Many persons suffer low blood pressure. Low pressure is not so drastic as high, but it can rob life of much of its joy. Persons with notably low blood pressure lack vitality and many experience weakness and continu- al fatigue. i——N] et —— CARROLLTOWN MISSING SOLDIER IS SET FREE Sgt. Charles W.

So Clever SY By ALICE WRIGHT McClure NAysparer Syndicate, WNU Features, ATSUMA strutted on his bantam legs as he worked about the hedges of the park close to the great shipyards. So clever! Many things could be concealed among the low- ly tools, and many too beneath the humble guise of a gardener. But no temporary abasement was too much when it was for the glory of the Rising Sun. None-—not even the killing of one's own brother. It had been so easy to be smug- gled into the barbarians’ country and make his way to where lived his brother Mitsuna in this mid- western city of shipbuilding along the muddy river. A swift rip of the knife, a note of resignation to the Yankee capitalist who had employed Mitsuna as yard boy, and Satsuma became Mitsuna, a naturalized citi- zen of the United States whose rec- ord was faultless in the eyes of the investigators. He spat venomously as he re- called the large, lazy man with so sharp eyes who pretended to enjoy the park the while he was observ- ing Satsuma. But Satsuma was too smart to be caught off guard and, by ways known to himself, he had discovered that the man, also disguised in humble dress, was Lieu- tenant Roland Mason of Naval In- telligence. As the morning wore on he began to wish that Lieutenant Mason appear. It would be so good to fool him with his new ruse, to look so stupid while knowing he was being so clever. His shears bright little eyes intently watching the entrance to the park. Ah! The lazy-looking one had en- tered and seated himself on a bench across the lagoon. It took Satsuma over half an hour to move toward him, methodically clipping as if ob- livious to the other’s presence. Sat- suma had patience. If Lieutenant Ah! The lazy-looking one had en- tered and seated himself. Mason should decide to speak he would halt and prattle in the loose American fashion though he would be guiding the conversation to an objective. If not, he would continue on his way and await another op- portunity. “Nice day.” Lieutenant Mason's voice was as lazy as he pretended to be, and his eyes regarded Sat- suma dully. Satsuma straightened, a mask of stolidity slipping over his features. “Very nice,” he said in careful Eng- lish. He could not resist adding, “You visit often.” “I like the view. Don’t you?” Satsuma gazed around the park, carefully avoiding the yards. ‘Much work,” he shrugged. “It helps to keep up appear- ances.” Mason idly tapped the newspaper he was holding. “You Chinese are making it plenty tough for the monkey-men.”’ Although his spirit writhed under the double insult Satsuma was too wary to let the lieutenant know his barb had hit home. “I am good American citizen.” He smiled bland- ly and bent to resume his work. Now was the time to let the pic- ture work itself out of his pocket. The lieutenant would rise to the bait. The fact that he and his brother looked much alike had made Sat- suma’s precaution simple. He had se- cured a car of the same make and year as Mitsuna’'s, had pored over the records at the courthouse to get the correct license number, and had manufactured a plate of that same year. Then, a snapshot of himself in front of the automobile with the license showing. At last the photograph fell from his pocket, and Satsuma moved slowly on his way. He barely con. cealed a triumphant grin as he saw the slow one move swiftly for it and examine it with so sharp eyes before he called in his slow voice, “You dropped something!’’ ““Ah yesss! Thank you so much.” Satsuma returned with a gleam of something akin to pleasure in his bright little eyes. As he held out his hand to take the picture the cold bite of metal snapped over his wrist. “So sorry!" Lieutenant Mason's voice crackled. ‘You Japs are so good at copying. Too bad! But in Missouri in 1943 the licenses were only small tags set over the out- dated large metal ones which you have taken the pains to repro- duce. You see, the metal we saved that way has long been flying over Tokyo.” .
