HOT WEATHER PITFALLS
Here Are Methods of Boat Rock
ing TO Fit Divers Gases.

To remind one that this Is the season or
the year when a whole lot OF chaps faiI
overheard and are drowned by rocking the |
boat IL sort OF foolish, isn't II, Horace ! |
We who read this wouldn't think OF doing |
such an asinine thing; Of course not! It's
always the other Fellow who's apt to do IT,
Be that as it may, there are other ways or
rocking other boats just about now that
NAV or may not 1T our individual and re-
spective cases. Let's take a peek at few
OF them.
First Of all, there's the lad who seems TO
have the idea that just because it's hot
weather and business has sort Of Stacked
I'D a bit he can rock the boat on which his
Job rides without any danger whatever Of
spilling IL overheard For instance he's
not quite so prompt in getting down to the
Office on time in the morning, and ne
doesn't hesitate to knock of work half
| hour earlier in the afternoon on any and
every himsy excuse he can push by the
| boss. Add TO this the number Of times he
feels justified in yawning and stretching
and gaping out the window during the day,
! with his mini only few million miles
| from his work and the whole totals UP a
nifty little number Of hours lost. Stop TO
think of II IN that light. Horace. and you'll
see that this young friend OF ours is rock
ing his boat some,
Then take this matter Of getting on the
outside OF things that are supposed to cool
| one inside somehow, Just because II S
summer. this particular lad feels that he
| can sort Of let the bars down and stack up
alongside the bar about 'steen dozen times
I oftener than he would in winter. Every
one else does II. so why shouldn't he toin
the procession? And this doesn't mean
only the bars that have brass ratings be
/ Meath them, but also the ones where soda
| water with a COB OF fee cream floating
| around in IL is sold
soda is all right I'm its place-but the
! stomach isn't the only place for it; some
| times il belongs in The fountain you know.
And the wet goods passed out by the
boozeoriums are all right. too-if YOU are
OF that persuasion-with some Of them still
| left in their bottles II, on this latter
| point, however, YOU are absolutely on the
wagon, you'll naturally believe in dumping
! them down the sewers-so you needn't
bother about this phase at all.
! But should this particular lad Of ours be
one who quaffs the cooling stuffs he might
! bear in mind that too much Of IT is rock
| ing the boat Of his digestion and undermin-
ing his ability to withstand the heat and
his own natural tendency 10 slough off a
BIT in general health during the summer.
OF course there are few more ways in
which the boat can be rocked these days
Horace. For example, one is inclined 10
spend his cash with more prodigal hand
buy clothes and loud socks and fancy hat
bands that the summer heat has made him
consider absolutely more attractive thar
| their cost would he on his bank account
and a general tendency TO let everything
more or less slide along Of its own mo-
! mentum rather than 20 get behind and
push II.
fhere are many others, too. But thc
r point is just this: Since one never read:
in the papers of any one rocking the boa
and being drowned in the winter, why
D should that catastrophe be accepted as
e matter OF course in summer? And not on,
I summer. either. but summer after summer
