Just what 1t was that gave me such

learn that II was only a sign, per-
hops you will think there is some
thing wrong with me-but there isn't.
The sign read:

that only the American tongue be
spoken at these tables, table man
ners be, observed and only actions
becoming a polite American will be
tolerated. Persons who cannot re-
Spect this rule may be requested

Best Way to Endure

RY LOIIsE AILEMAN.

The best way to endure the hot
weather Is TO defy Il. Many people
try TO run away from IL. and in the
end are caught, and succumb to
sunstroke or debility. because they
have not developed the stamina 10
stand H.
Don't be afraid OF the sun 1t
Is all right 10 use good judgment
about prolonged and unnecessary
exposure 10 n blazing sun on a sultry
day. But speaking in general, the
sun Is friendly and beneficent, even
IN midsummer.
The old Greeks. who lived natural
lives. had the right idea, and wove
IL into their mythology. Apolla. the
sun god. though a god Of pestilence.
was also the god OF healing. The
sun breeds pestilence only in swamps
and other filthy places; nc is the

understand him and trust in him.
II is a matter OF common knoWl-
edge that anyone who has once been
thoroughly Drowned can stand the
summer heat far better than one
who has not. He has simply de-
veloped his resisting power. We
learn 20 endure heat by enduring
heat and the quickest. surest way is
exposure TO sunshine.

In the sunshine. and IN the fresh
air that goes with it, there is the
best antidote for the rundown and
washed-out feeling that so often
comes with the hot weather. The
direct rays OF the sun actually pour

half OF this mileage, and the total
already under construction was 49,
540 miles, which would make a
continuous road half way around

more speed being shown right along
