UST imagine being the owner of
a private yacht as big as an ocean
J liner, more costly than a country
estate, as luxurious as a Park Avenue
apartment—and with a small army {<*•
navy) to wait on your needs.
It would make you feel like a king
on a floating .palace, wouldn’t it? Well,
that’s precisely what J. Pierpont
Morgan and many other very rich
Americans are when they go down to
the sea in their own little ships.
When Mr. Morgan recently sailed
for England aboard his new Corsair
(the fourth), one of the most extrav
agant of all the private yachts in the
world put to sea. It is 343 feet long,
has a cruising range of 25,000 miles
and cost $2,600,000 to build. Also, it
w ill cost at least $500,000 annually to
maintain 1
But Mr. Morgan's yacht is only one
oT about nearly 800 privately owned
ships of mojre than 100 feet in length
and more than a small fortune in value.
Practically all of them boast elegance,
a- well as the most modern efficiency.
The private yacht has grown in
popularity among the extremely rich

one—during the past few years. 1:

The elder Morgan, father of ,the

204 feet long and cost $225,000. The
second Corsair was turned over to the
Government during the Spanish-Amert

took a prominent partin defeating the
Spanish fleet.

The building of the fourth Corsair
at Bath, Maine, wan ohrouded in
secrecy. Not until recently did the
details of its magnificence become
known outside the circle—of Mi
Morgan's closest friends and the ship’s
builders. Let’s take a glimpse into it
and see what it looks like
It contains only two owner's suites
and five guest suites—but they are
very commodious. The smallest state
room is fifteen by fifteen feet, The
crew numbers 58 men. The ship is
powered by a pair of steam turbine.:.
These arc capable of 6,000 horse power.
The electric drive of the yacht is
similar to those on large commercial
ships. • .The maximum speed is 16
knots. That’s not very much, but Mi
Morgan doesn’t care about speed. It
satisfies him that the yacht has a
cruising range of 25,000 miles.
Below the pilot house are to be
. found three decks connected by elec
tric elevator*. Then there are on board
a -pedal fire department, police force,
telephone plant and water system. The
central room of the living quarters is
a huge and luxurious salon. One thing
seems to be missing, however. It is a
bar—for Mr. Morgan is a teetotaler.
Even if this boat were given free
to a man with, say. a million dollars,
he would soon go broke trying to main
tain it. For Mr. Morgan expects to
pay out half a million every year for

believe that a couple of ladies
were having a hair-pulling fight. The
lac^ of annoyance on the pretty face
of the girl with the long hair, however,
indicates it must be something else.
It is. She is “rehearsing” for the
role of a cave woman. When plans
were being made for the Liverpool and
Manchester Railway Centenary IV
scant in England, it was decided to
celebrate the cave dwellers.
tt n* Charlei Marlrham, of Longford
Hall, Derby, was selected to- portray
f°ie ot the cave man and Mb
Paddle O'Hara, eighteen-year-old brun
*tte, was selected for cave women.
Their parts call for some Strenuous
hair-pulling, indeed. Sir Charles, m
his role, is called upon to dra" Miss
O’Hara by the hair of her head 100
( yards. The performance is scheduled
to be given every night for a week.
~ Naturally, Miss O’Hara wanted to
prepare herself for the “high honor”
that had been bestowed upon her—
and also tor the fearful ordeal it en
j tails. So She practised on the beach

Whether after the first performance
she will consider this a new honor or
a new form of cruelty remains to be
seen. What the pageant director
■* seem not to realise is that the hair—
. and the general physique, for that mat
_ ter—of the cave woman was,far dif
•7 ferent from that of the modem girl.
The former was subjected to a
rigorous life. Her hair, like the rest
of her body, was So strong that she
Jidn’t mind so very much being
dragged around by Her cave man.
But -the modern girl, in spite of all
her participation in sports, is generally
too “softened” to enjoy such a form
of transportation very long.
I 'air consists of a root, the part im
planted in the skin, and a shaft or
■sc a pus, the portion projecting from
the surface. Doctors will tell you that
when the hair is of considerable length
the roots arc firmer.
From the accompanying picture it
would seem that Mis- O'Hara ha
rather long hair. Therefore it may be
firm enough to stay in her head dur

courage will be firm enough is an
other question.

What Happens
to ) our Food
After Fating
By HERBERT 1.. HE'RSCHE!N SO H N.
(Pliytiiian and Surgron.)
[^TTITHi^ a few minutes after food
begins from the glands which
lie in the walls of the stomach. At first
the juice is unable to penetrate, the
mass of food which has just been swal
lowd. This permits the action of the
saliva which was mixed with the food
in the mouth to continue for awhile.
Gastric juice contains hydrochloric
acid, pepsin and rennet. The hydro
chloric acid is necessary for the diges
tion of proteins by the pepsin. Without
this acid, pepsin is inactive. The ren
net dots the milk so that it passes more
slowly through the digestive tract.
As the gastric juice is secreted the
walls of the stomach contract setting
up a churning motion called peristalsis.
The food is churned back and forth in
the stomach continuously mixing with
the juice. As the food becomes fluid
it is passed through the narrow open
ing between the stomach and the intes
tine. Thai which is solid remains in
the stomach until it is sufficiently fluid
to paas-onward into the intestine. After
a few hours, if any food still remain
solid, it is no longer retained.
What changes have taken place in
the food during this time? The pro
teins have been about half digested,
that is, broken down into simpler parts
to make further action upon them lesg
complicated in the intestines. Tin

down so that some of the fat is free
and in liquid form. The starches and
sugars become partially digested.
Despite this degree of digestion,
practically none of the food it absorbed
■into the system, for it is not the pur
pose of tlm stomach to absorb food,
its essential purpose is to; serve as a
reservoir in which food can be stored
in large amounts making it unneces
sary to eat frequently. It automatically
prepares the food permitting ony small
quantities to enter the intestine at a
time. A man can live with his stomach
completely removed. But of necessity,
he must eat rather frequently and in
dulge in soft foods.
What is the mechanism which is rea
sonable for the secretion of gastric
juice? Although it is presumed that
the entrance of food into the stomach
is the exciting factor for this secretion,
the following experiment on the dog
has conclusively proven that other cir
cumstances are more responsible.
The esophague, the tube through
which the food passes from the mouth
to the stomach, is cut across and both
open cut ends sewn to the skin of the
neck. Obviously, food that the dog
swallows cannot reach the stomach but
passes out through the upper opening
Nevertheless, as the dog eats in this
fashion, there is an active flow of
gastric .juice in the atemach. Fven
when the food is not swallowe.d but
merely placed in such a position that it
is readily seen and smelled, the flow of
gastric juice is as great. The stimulus
in this case is purely psychical and is
due to the appetite that is aroused.
Once the flow of juice is well under
way, the products of digestion furnish
a chemical stimulus which continues
the flow until the stomach is entirely
emptied.
