DUELIST AND SPECTATOR Above: Maria Lopez, Fiery-Tempered Dancing Girl, Who Shot Down Her Rival, and. Right: Concha Meoeaes, * Witnez* to the Affray. The night-club girls, Marin I oiav, and Enriqueta Juarez, worked in t •ame fashionable cabaret. Until hand come Sergio Augusto appeared they were inseparable chums. Sergio was a gigolo. Under the bright lights his patent-leather Hair glistened like ebony and his exquisite mastery of the tango more than made up for the narrow breadth of his shoulders. Senor Augusto, in short, was the sort of gentleman who cause:: men to sneer an d women to sigh. The fair charmers in the.dance hall all liked hipi and Sergio, apparently, had room in his heart for an astonishing number of them. It is remarkable how inanv con ' quests he had time to accomplish in view of jthe fact that most of his time ' was taken up with his strenuous work of steering rich women tourists to the various Mexico City night places. First Sergio took up with Concha Meneses, a co-worker of Maria and ' Banquet*.. Then the allurements of "Margarita Guiterres, another enter/ tamer, caught his wandering eye. .Each, romance was short and Sergio bowed out gracefully. Maria was next on his list of fa vored beauties. .Tins affair lasted a STREET FETE FIGURES While the Two Cabaret Entertainers, Maria Lopez and Enriqueta Juarez, Battled in the Streets of Mexico City Over Sergio Augusto, These Grotesques Were Being Carried on Floats in the Annual Celebra tion of the Fete of "The Burning of Judas." .bit longer than the others. Maria was younger and look: the tender avowals "' her cavalier more seriously than the other two girls. One morning at 3 a. in. she found l.nriqui ta and Sergio holding hands. The fickle. Senor had suggested trans ferring his affection^ once more and Enriqueta hailed the suggestion as a grand idea. * Maria ailed over to their lahlp, “Leavemy boy friend alone,” she cried THROUGH WITH FLIRTS Angela Ayala, Who “kiaaed and made up” with Her Bellicoae Slater After They Had Wounded Each Other. “No nfor# sweethearts for me," Vowed Angela in the Hospital, "No. I do not think it will rain after all!” answered Fnriqueta suppressing a yawn. < Concha and Margarita, who ^ were eagerly watching the scene, sauntered over. Sergio hastily excused himself, saying he had to have his shoes shined. There were words and more words. "But. girls, don’t bell me you’re go ing to fight over a mere man!" ejac ulated Margarita. c. '*Watch me,” shouted Maria, storm ing out. The others followed her into the entertainers' dressing-quarters. Maria was carefully examining the guns and daggers the gentle ' ladies kept hidden there. Enriqueta .ituttic: diately hecame infected with Maria’s interest in weapons and started exam ining revolvers on her own account. “Not here—outside!" commanded Margarita, her black eyes flaming with excitement. The quartet slipped out, each of them with a gun in her hand Concha and Margarita, in addition carried pretty little daggers, just in rase all the revolvers should become clogged. Id the lonely street Margarita sta tioned the two rivals twenty feet apart. She quickly gave the signals. “Ready! Aim! Fire!" Two pistols barked and twice Mar garita refloated the signals. Following the third exchange Enriqueta col lapsed, wounded in the shoulder. The police, attracted by the volleys of gun fire, rushed her to a hospital and placed the two markswomen under ar rest. . "y‘ Seiior Augusto ha? not Keen located since. He is reported to have sought peace and tranquility in the ranks of a hand of mountain revolutionists. “Women,” he told a friend, “are fun.%j?.'' A remark which proves hi* esoteric knowledge of the sex. Angela and Dominga Ayala, the .sis ter duelisis, fought over , an entirely different type of man. Dimas Garcia, it is true, affected tight pants, Wind sor ties and colored silk shirts, but he, like the sisters, was an honest toiler. At first Dimas favored Angela. It was at a partv he gave at his home on his haint’s Day that he first paid Dominga marked attention. Like Sergfo, Dimas apparently could never quite make up his mind whom he pre ferred. Angela did not approve of the way her, sister and sweetheart looked into each other’s eyes. Neither did she approve of the frequency with which they danced together while she waited on the many guests who were present. Finally she could stand it no more. People were nudging each other as they watched Dimas and her sister, Angela called Dominga into the kitchen. “What’s the idea?” she asked. “I’ve decided that Dimas is just my type,” laughed Dominga. Angela reached for a large, sharp knife. She handed it to Dominga and promptly seized another weapon. “We fight to the death,” she whispered softly. Dominga nodded grimly. To the tune of dance-music played in the next room the two girls v\ restled about the kitchen exchanging sharp thrusts. Again and again the two girls How We Breathe and Swallow Without Strangling in HERBERT L. HERSCUENSOHN (I'lirsirian and Surgeon) f'TT'T HEN food is placed in the mouth and chewed, it is col * T lected on the top of the longue and then voluntarily passed to the hack part of the throat, the pharynx. This act is accomplished by closing the jaws and automatically raising the tongue so that the tip presses against the soft palate l A). This movement literally, throws the mass of food back ward! At the same time, the base of the tongue is drawn downward (B>. As soon as the food reaches the pharynx, the soft palate becomes ele vated, forming an inclined roof (C). This manoeuvre closes the rear part of the nasal chamber so that the pas sage of food or water into it is- pre vented. It also makes it an impos sibility to inhale at the same time, either through the nose or the mouth. The importance of this will soon be come evident. Ab _ the food passes through the upper part of the pharynx, it goes through a space which is common to both the respiratory and digestive sys tems <D). Accordingly, the passage of food through this part ia exceeding ly rapid, being accomplished in l»»s than a second. By this means, breath ing can go on without interruption These Two Sketches Show the t.eneral Structure of the Throat. At Left the Air Passage to the Lungs Open When Breathing Normally. At Right, the Mouth and Windpipe Closed in the Act of Swallowing, great enough to causa discomfort. This act is involuntary. The lower air passages must now be shut off to prevent the entrance of food into the lungs. The opening into the trachea, or windpipe, is rigidly guarded *by a valve-like apparatus called the epiglottis ( E.), During ♦ordinary breathing the epiglottis i* open, the air being inhaled directly into the liings. When the act of swal tpwirig takes place, however, the bark ward motion of the base of the tongue Cc-p*ri*ht. l*3f. LoUtnatlcmi Faatur* U*r» oppresses the epiglottis, forming a closed roof over the trachea. At that moment air can neither be inhaled or exhaled (If).. The esophagus is the tube through which food travels from the mouth to the stomach. This tube is Very elastic. During ordinary quiet respirations, its calibre is small, due to the constriction of the clastic fibers (G). This pre vents the air from entering the stom ach. The mechanical presence of food widens the esophagus (H). This causes an encroachment upon the. trachea, making the valve action of the epiglottis doubly efficient. The act of swallowing can be incited by touching the pharynx or the base of the tongue. This is demonstrated by forcing food into the pharynx of unconscious persons, swallowing then taking place normally. Unless these sensitive areas are touched, swallow ing cannot take place. Saliva is a suf ficient stimulus.' If one were to swal low repeatedly until no saliva remained in the mouth, further swallowing would become impossible for a short time, until more saliva were formed. If a little food does accidentally enter the trachea, a nervous stimulus is immediately set up, causing a cough ing spasm. This forces the food hack into the throat, preventing it from gaining entrance into th? lungs. f', Inc.. Great Britain Right# Rai*ria4. GRIM ONSLAUGHT “ '.We fight to the death,' |, whiapered Angela.
