Submarines Gross Ocean.
When the report was current sew
eral weeks ago that a U-bost lair had
been established on the Island OF Mar
SarIta. on Venezuela, al investigation
was made. but no report on il was
ever made public. Venezuela is noto-
riously pro-German: il is the one
south American nation in which Teu-
tonic inhCence has scored uadeniable
success. Therefore. il is more than
conceivable that the C-boats now
operating IN the West Indics-wliica

II Is also possible that in the nu-

many OF which are practically unin-
habited-a Submarine base has beeu
established. At any rate the suba-

Oyerhested Air.

A rise Of temperature in the sur
rounding air dllainishes the amount Of
oxygen consumed and the amount Of
dioxide discharged. A fall of tcin-
perature has the opposite effect. In
addition, the oyerheated air forms a
hot jacket around the body, which pre-
vents the radiation of heat necessary
TO keep the body in healthy condi-
ton. With sedentary occupation It
temperature of from 50 to 40 should be
maintained for comfort and health.

DID THEY
FEAR THE
LADIES?

Although there were eight members
of the East Chicago city council pres
emit at the regular meeting of that body
called for last night, yet on account of
the absence Of Mayor Callahan no ses-
sion was held.
It is said by observers present that
another reason why some of the coun-
ciImen present left the building so alb
ruptIy and with so little ceremony was
because of a touch Of stage fright and
woman shyness that suddenly develop
cd when they took a peep upstairs and
saw about forty women congregated in
the courtroom They Immediately drew
conclusions that the women must have
some grievance that they Intended to
spring upon the councilmen and. being
u-nprepared for such an onslaught. they
concluded that discretion was the bet
ter part eff valor and so hastily beat a
retreat.
mt developed this morning however.
that the women were in session to or
game a couple Of classes in Red Cross
instruction. One can but imagine the
chagrin with which those councilmen
are overcome this morning. if the above
report IS true
