This page is primarily **advertising** for industrial and automotive products (Timken Tapered Roller Bearings, Kelly-Springfield Automobile Tires), with only minimal editorial content. The non-advertising sections include: 1. **"Practise Deep Breathing"** — a health advice column with a medical diagram 2. **"Referee"** — a brief article about canal tolls and the Isthmian Canal, referencing Dr. Shaw and the *Outlook* magazine's reporting on U.S.-British control disputes 3. One small cartoon captioned **"Author! Author!"** — appears to be generic humor about someone calling out, not tied to specific politics The page reflects *Life*'s mix of satirical commentary with commercial content. The canal discussion references early 20th-century geopolitical tensions, but the cartoons here lack the sharp political satire *Life* was known for.

PRACTISE DEEP BREATHING | Breathing is the Vital Force of Life. All weaknesses and ailments attributed to lack of exercise are usually due to shallow and incorrect breathing. The main value of physical exercise lies in the activity it gives the Lungs, Learatobreathe.

S to the canal tolls, Dr. Shaw, in the March Review of Reviews, says that there was no possible reason for making any treaty at all with England about canal or canal tolls, and that John Hay, who did it, with- out suggestion and to the astonishment of the British government, “was not an authority in the subject matter”. But the Outlook (March 14th) speaks of the “wise statesmanship” by which “the real control of the Isthmian Canal was by the Hay-Pauncefote treaty assured to the United States”. There is a wide discrepancy between Dr. Abbott and Dr. Shaw. Make your bets, gentlemen! An ef- fort will be made to have the point settled by a referee. “auTHoR!

Danger signals to be tied on every piece not made exactly to specifi- cations; warning tags to insure that no imperfect parts shall enter the finished bearing. Here's a red-tagged ‘cup’ marked ‘small O. D..—date—name (Griffin) of the man who ground it. An inspector (Will Keyser) has found it to be half the thousandth part of an inch too small in outside diameter. So he tagged it red and sent it along, with other tagged parts, to the ‘morgue. ‘Morgue’ is the name Timken shop men give to the place where rejected parts go. It's the morgue man’s task to break up those parts so they never can come, by pos- sible chance, into use in the Timken Bearing. Twelve operations make the part called the ‘cone.’ Twelve inspections are given to know each dimension, each angle is right. Let the slightest error occur at any step of the way—an inspector will spot it and —tie on the red tag quick! _Long before such care was used, the Timken principle of tapered rollers revolv- ing between a tapered cup and a tapered, two-ribbed cone gave a unique type of bearing that won marked success over all other kinds. In the years that have followed, Tim- ken care in every detail of the making has hidden value that's only revealed in a life-time of good service.
