Scientist Tells Why She Can Defy
Cold in DecoIIete-special Layer
of Fat Acquired.

London.-Why can apparently trag-
lie women wear pneumonia blouses in
the arctic springs of the British Isles?
Why can they do these things and
wear an evening costume which would
be fatal to the majority of men, and
yet suffer no harm?
These are questions that have puz-
zled the Daily Mirror. To solve them
it applied to IAN experienced doctor
who has studied the subject" He had
been puzzled by the same problems.
The scientist knew that Woman's
skin was more tender than mans and
their constitutions generally less able
to stand cold and wet, so he looked
into the matter.
He then discovered that women
have a special layer of fat all over
their bodies, thicker than a mans
and acquired when human kind dwelt
in caves and huts." "In those days

themselves warm by hunting and light

MONKEYS CATCH COLD EASILY
DR.. Chalmers Mitchell of London Saya
Animals Are Quite Susceptible
to Human Ailments.

Kansas City, Mo.-Monkeys are just
sis as human beings, and often catch
colds from the people who come to
watch their antics, according to DR..
Chalmers Mitchell, secretary of the
Geological society of London, who
passed through the union station OF
Kansas City on his way to the Philip
pine islands.
Gold weather IS bad for animals,
and for monkeys, who are nearest to
man species, especially" said DR..
Mitchell. During the recent cold spell
in London-the worst April for IA
years-there was no serious mortality
among the animals, but | expect they
will feel the results of the severe
weather later on Their constitutions
will have been weakened, and there
may be many deaths.
Damp, not cold, Is the monkeys
enemy Consumption Is their disease
in captivity, largely because they are
living in community, and one tubercu-
losis monkey may infect the others.
Monkeys, being nearly allied to man,
catch mans diseases.
Il wouldn't say that a lion couldn't
catch cold from a man, but | should
say it would be unlikely. A monkey,
on the other hand, would be easily in
fected, as would crocodiles if they
were exposed properly"

TAKEN AT A DISADVANTAGE
Awkward Question Put to Witness
Led to Hasty Exit From
the Stand.

A colored brother was charged
with violating the prohibition laws,
and one Of the issues in the case was
whether or not certain prohibited
beverages were kept in an ice box in
the defendants place Of business. Jim
Jones, another colored brother, was
introduced as a witness for the de-
PENDANT, and swore positively that no
prohibited beverages were kept in the
box that day; that he was in the
place all the morning. On cross ex-
animation, the city attorney asked il
the ice box was open when he entered
the place, or was opened in his pres
ence. Jim promptly replied in the
negative. He was then asked If
he had been inside the box at any
time that particular day, and replied
that he had not. The city attorney
then asked the all-important question
of how he knew there were no pro-
hibited liquors in the box at that
time" After considerable delibera-
ton and a mute appeal to the de-
PENDANTS attorney, which was very
marked, Jim replied: "Fo' God, boss,
I didn't know you was gwine ter ak

prospect of the acquisition of relics

$4,000 is in hand for the construc-

The departure of Lummis was de-

that land of Quetzal, where the an

He was accompanied by his IL
year-old son Quimu, who in coming
years is expected to make his mark
in the scientific world through his
explorations. Lummis is also one of
the board of managers of the Amer
lean School of Archaeology, which
holds annual meetings" in different
fields of research, and QUINN, since
a mere baby, has been his INSOFAR
able companion at these gatherings
The boy is a great pal with the In

pass his skill and daring in scaling
ticklish cliffs. The gathering is this
year being held at Quirigua.
Quirigua is in northwest Guate-

AN ODD ENDOWMENT
PhiIanthropist Gives Kansas
College a Cemetery
In Time This Unique Gift is Ex
pected to Net More Than One
Million Dollars to Bene-
ficiarieS.

Topeka, Kan.-Nearly all colleges
have large endOwments of money, Sc
curities and real estate given by
friends and by people interested in
the cause of education. The funds are
all invested in bonds, stocks and real
estate, which do exceptionally well if
they return more than five or six per
cent. on the investment. Many re-
ligious organizations have similar en-
doWments. But Washburn college Of
Topeka and the Topeka Young Mems
and Young WOmen's Christian ass
soc1atlons have one of the most novel
endOWments in the country. 1t is

sets share in the profits of a GENE
terry. Many churches have cemeteries,
but the Topeka Y. w. c. A. and Y. M.
c. A. are believed to be the only non
sectarian religious organizations with
an endowment of this kind.
A. B. Whiting, a Topeka merchant,
decided to leave permanent endoW-
ment to the two Topeka institutions.
He selected $4,000 as the beginning
Of his endowment and then began
casting about for some plan of invest
ment which would actually net the
greatest income to the three institu-
tons to which he desired to contrib
uate. He investigated all kinds OF
business ventures, bond and stock
returns and real estate investments
and finally decided upon a cemetery
as the best possible investment for
the college and Christian associations.
His investment of the modest endow-
ment is expected to return to the col
lege and the two young peoples asso-
Citations considerably more than a mil
lion dollars before the sources OF
revenue from the sale of lots in the
cemetery are cut off.
Mr.. Whiting bought the Mount Hope
cemetery grounds, 100 acres, one and
one-half miles west of Topeka. The
land alone cost $4,000 and left $4,000
