Some months ago an officer holding an important executive post in one of the greater corporations received a kindly, almost neighborly, call from one of his fellow directors, This officer had returned from a brief vacation trip. The fellow director said to him that in view of their long friendship and their respect and admiration each for the ability and achievements of the other, he waa going to apeak somewhat plainly to that officer. Then be put this question bluntly to him: What will you be willing to 'pay to keep your place? It aeemed a strange question. The executive officer did not know at first what to make of it.

This Is accomplished by .a downward movement of the diaphragm and an outward movement In all directions of the lateral chest walls. This is largely accomplished by the muscles which lift the ribs and pull them outward from the center of the body. The lungs are emptied by the natural return of the parts to a passive state, when the muscles cease their pulling upon the chest walls. In ordinary deep respiration, when the breathing movements are not interfered with, the movement consists chiefly of an enlargement of the trunk in the region of the waist. There is at the same time a marked bulging forward of the abdominal wall. This style of breathing is sometimes, though incorrectly, termed abdominal respiration. In abdominal respiration proper there is a forward movement of the abdomen, but without marked enlarging of the waist.
