Doctors and midwives have long known that women nearing the end of pregnancy hate to lie flat on their backs-many complain that it makes them feel weak-but nobody knew why. There is good reason for the phenomenon, Dr. William F. Mengert of Southwestern Medical College reported last week. The heavy-laden uterus can press too hard on the big vessel (vena cava) carrying blood back to the heart, and thus cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure, or shock.

Westland just went on playing a painstaking, precise game that brought, not applause, but "Gee, gee, gee" from the gallery. Soon he was two up. Then on the 16th hole (468 yds.), Jack sent his second shot into the light rough just off the green; Mengert's sailed into a sand trap. Westland arched his approach to within a scant yard of the cup.
