Why shiverlno Warns Us

Some might doubt that shivering or
a cold day would make anyone warm
but it is true that the spasmodic quiz
ering of the muscles, called Shjveripg.
causes a flow of blood and thereby gen
crates warmth. No one ever ShtVers
until his body is extremely cold. II
is nervous protest on the part Of the
flesh, due to acute discomfort that has
reached the brain and been reacted
But the moment shivering begins the
muscles work invoIuntarily and the
body begins to produce heat.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, Oct. 27.-When
Gen. Petain rocked the German
line with his uppercut to the jaw
on the Chemin des Danes, the
German command had to rake the
whole western front to assemble
achievements and bolster up the
tottering sector.
A census of. prisoners today re-
vealed that the endorsements
were collected not in units of di-
visions, but in such small military
fragments as companies and bat
talions. And those companies and
battalions were identified as of
regiments widely scattered along
the whole western line.
There was yet more emphatic
evidence. as the United Press staff
correspondent was permitted to
view 1t personally today, OF Ger
many's dw.ndling man power. A
tour thru the prisoners cages
showed a majority of those cap
tured by the French were boys
mere youths of the 1918 class.
They were gaunt, under-fed
looking lot.
But the hungriest OF all the
prisoners were those who were
still being hustled back of the

BUSMEN KICK
ON BOND RULE

"A delegation of bus drivers. ac-
companied by two attorneys from
Seattle, called on Prosecuting At
torney Remain Friday afternoon
to protest against the prosecutors
announced determination to ar
rest all bus men not properly
bonded.
The contention of the bus men
is that some other form of bond
besides q surety bond should be
accepted.
Remain said he was willing to
admit that some other forms Of
bond might be at least as effect
i've, but that as the law specifies
that bus drivers for hire must put
up surety bond he has no choice
but to enforce that variety Of
bond.
