THE NEWEST

Sweaters of all kinds and types,

are being shown; and If you can
not afford to purchase your
sweater, take advantage of the
free instruction given by the
yarn shops and the books pub
lished for advanced pupils.
In golf or tennis you will APP
preciate the comfort and good
style of a sleeveless sweater. A
hoyish slip-on model is made diff
ferent" by knitting the front in
horizontal stripes of contrasting
color, and plain knitted border
is used at the armholes, neck and
bottom. Tan with any shade is
always good. A white washable
silk shirt and striped necktie 10
worn with the sleeveless sweater.
Sweaters that give the effect
of over blouses are new and
smart. One model in the new
Lanvin green is made in an UNI
usual loop stitch effect 1t is
bloused over a broad band at
the hips and has flare sleeves
that reach almost to the wrist.
This blouse sweater is finished
by a long, white. stiff roll col
lar.
For rough-andready wear there
is another sweater with long
sleeves and high neck, fitted
close to the body. 1t reached
only to the hips, and Is knitted
in a heavy durable stitch. Dust
color is practical, and the skirt
and hat for this costume might
be of the bizarre Egyptian crepe.
Often one finds the monotony
of a sweater broken by gaily pat
termed bands. For instance, on q
pearl gray slip.on style the bands
were of orange In a stenciled de.

sleeves across the chest and in Q

WONDERFUL
HUMAN BODY
BY Brice BeIden. M. D..

" HE noted Psychologist, Melt
yer, once pointed out that
our important organs and
tissues are built on a luxurious
plan. That is, these organs have
from two to fifteen times more
tissue than they need for normal
activity.
Meltzer called this a margin of
safety. and showed how this
tissue endowment was correlated
with a greater-than-no normal energy
endowment. This seems to be
especially true of the ductless
glands.
The object of this "extrava-
gGnce Of nature" is to enable the
body to meet EMERGENCIES very
resourcefully. This is why the
human body exhibits such a re-
narkable versatility In meeting
the rapidly changing strains of
even everyday life. And when il
comes to illness we see this versa
tility especially manifest.
Those best prepared in this
respect are obviously best fitted
to survive in the struggle for
existence.
This unusual adaptability Of our
organs and tissues puts man, con-
sidered merely as a machine, upon
a higher plane than any mechan-
ism Of human construction.
Another phase of this adapta-
bility is the power Of more than
one mechanism OF the body to
care for the same functions. Thus
not all persons respond in the
same manner to exercise. One
group, it has been shown by Meek
and Eyster, of the University Of
Wisconsin, will show an increase
in the hearts force and another
group will show only an increase
in rate, but in either case the
output OF blood is increased. OF
course, different mechanisns are
at work in these two groups, but
the beneficient result can be at
tanned in either way.
How the skin can act as an
eliminating organ in place of the
kidney is a commonplace illus
tration. An even more common
one is the use of the mouth as
an emergency breathing organ in
place Of the nose.
Meltzer showed that even after
experimental elimination of cen
trail nervous system control, the
blood pressure can be taken care
