HOW TO KEEP
WELL
the EFFECT OF HIGH
TEMPERATURE
DR.. FREDERICK n. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"

LAT men endure high temperature
= and humidity better than thin
men. This has been proved by the
American Society of Heating and Ven
tilating Engineers in cooperation with
the United States bureau Of mines
and Carnegie Institute Of Technology,
at Pittsburgh. In experiments to de-
termine the relative effect of various
temperatures and humidities on the hui
man body, the scientists also found
that sweat is the chief factor, causing
sore eyes, when a person becomes
heated.
Another common belief was blasted
during the experiments when 1t was
found that the drinking Of Ice water
failed to develop cramps In men after
they had been subjected to an hours
exposure to high temperature.
The object of the research work was
to establish, by scientific study, the
exact degree of temperature, and of
humidity, or comfort lines" person
should be subjected to in a room. The
first experiments were to study the
physiological effects Of various tenn
peratures and humidities on human
subjects at rest in still air, and for
these, a staff of physicians and en-
ployees of the society have subjected
themselves to great hardships.
One of the important results of the
experiments was the discovery OF the
great variations of external tempera-
ture which the human being can en-
dure, and at the same time retain his
physiological efficiency. Another fact
discovered was that increasing pulse
rate was more the cause of discomfort
than Is body temperature, when in ia
heated room. Is
In a report of the experiments
are these assertions: While irrelevant
to the present study, an attempt was
made to determine the cause Of the
inflammation of the eyes, and also TO
find out whether or not the drinking
Of ice water produces cramps, as SC
frequently complained Of by workers
in the industries. On day when the
eyes were normal small quantity of
sweat which had been collected during
an experiment was dropped in the eye.
The conjunctiva almost Immediately
became inflamed and the eye felt
sore. The sweat collected from the
face seemed less irritable to the eye
than that collected either from the
chest or arms. Sweatbands were then
applied to the forehead during the ex.
periments. thus preventing the sweat
from falling into the eyes and also pre-
venting the inflammation. This proves
that the sweat is the chief factor in
producing the conjunctivitis which nc.

1t has frequently been stated that
workers exposed to high temperatures
developed severe cramps after drinking
ice water. A few Of the subjects of
these experiments volunteered to drink
ice water after an hours exposure to
high temperature, and two Of them, in
one experiment, drank quart of ice

GOV. TERRAL MEETS
RANDOLPH FRIENDS

Governor Terral. after promising to
he in POcahOntas last Saturday, rain
or shine. arrived in the rain, went to
the fair grounds in the rain, spoke
during the rain and departed while
the clouds continued to threaten.
The governor motored to the fair
grounds with Mr.. f. Dalton and was
escorted through the mud to the ex-
hibit building where the address was
to be made. After viewing the exhib-
its. he was introduced to his audience
by Atty. w. L. Pope of this city,
close friend of the governor.
After commenting on the articles
exhibited and cOmplimenting the ex-
hibitOrs on their products, Mr.. Terral
entered upon the main theme OF his
talk, the subject of pardoning Grimm
ais. 1t Is his idea that when twelve
good men and a judge sentence a man
to penitentiary term after having
heard all the evidence in the case,
there the criminal should remain until
the time is served.
"In some states it is so easy to re-
ceive a pardon that a ten-year SEN
tence usually means less than one
year, and murderer given life term
has reason to expect pardon as soon
as his name gets off the front pages
Of the papers," Mr.. Terral stated.
There are few good citizens who will
condemn Mr.. Terral for his policy in
this matter and many of our citizens
congratulated him warmly for his un-
wavering stand.
Given Tom Terral in the executive
chair of each of the forty-eight states,
and the appalling crime wave in our
nation would take a sudden and graf
flying flop.

MANY SEEK THRILL
IN AIRPLANE RIDES

More than one hundred Randolph
county people experienced the novelty
of flying Sunday, when Jimmy Bar
wick, with his Curtis plane, spent the
day making exhibition flights from a
pasture just across the river on the
Carter farm.
Mr.. Barwick used late model Cur
tis biplane, with $50 II. p. motor.
He is flier of much experience and
showed extraordinary skill in taking
Off and landing in the rough pasture.

who was to entertain with aerial
stunts at the Fair, but could not on
account Of the weather, gave free ex-
hibition of wing walking and other
thrilling acts late Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Barwick announced his inten-
tiOn of returning to Pocahontas with
in a few days in order that all, who
did not get to fly Sunday, might have
another opportunity. The date Of his
return will be announced in the Star
Herald.

MinOrca Man Kills Self

Horace Owen, aged 40, of Redfield,
Kans,, committed suicide several days
ago. Dependence over financial mat
ters was said to have been the cause.
Mr.. Owen, his wife and four chill
dren had moved to Hoxie few days
before Failing to secure work there,
Mr.. Owen returned to Kansas and re-
sumed his former occupation with a
construction company.
Without money for food, he worked
two days until exhausted. Then he
wired for his wife and took carbolic
acid which ended his life
The unfortunate man was born at
Minorca, this county, in 1884. He mar
ried Miss Verda Tanner in 1912. The
family lived in HOxie and at several
places in Clay county number Of
years before going to Kansas.

Cotton Labor Short

Reports from many sections of Ar
kansas and Missouri indicate an acute
shortage of cotton pickers. Word re-
ceived from Poplar Bluff states that
10000 more are needed, in addition to
those now at work.
Mississippi, POinsett and Crittenden
counties report that pickers are so
scarce that planters are bringing hun
dreds of Mexicans from Texas to re-
lieve the situation.
Randolph county cotton farmers also
report a labor shortage. However the
situation appears to be less serious
than in other sections. A cotton buy
er, who recently came to PocahOntas
to buy for the Schnabaum gin, report
ed that while at Walnut Ridge he was
approached from all angles by planters
who wanted to give him a job picking.
The recent rains have continued to
lower estimates for the total crop.
Much of the cotton already open was
damaged by dirt and in several sec
tions of the county it is reported that
the seed is sprOuting in the unopened
boil.
A number of loads of cotton which
we observed in town yesterday, how
ever, appeared clean and of good
grade. The owners reported having
received a good price for it.

WIN AT FOOTBALL,
LOSE TO OFFICIALS

History was repeated last Friday
when the Poca Hi football team went
to Walnut Ridge and made an ineffect-
ual attempt to defeat the Walnut
Ridge Hi team and officials
Three-fourths of the game was play
ed i'm PocahOntas territory, there being
only two or three occasions when Wal
nut Ridge carried the play past the
center of the field.
PocahOntas suffered seven penalties,
while not a single one was placed
against the Bobcats" Leon Brown,
POca half. made a touchdown in the
final period, carrying the bali a yard
across the line before he was downed.
OF course the referee did not permit it
but the officials evidently became
frightened and hereafter when POca
began to threaten the goal line, our
boys were set back by a penalty.
The score was, Poca 0-Walnut Ridge
o. The officials won. However. that $
old stuff and PocahOntas sportsmen
are becoming accustomed to it.
For Poca, Leon Brown was the
best ground gamer. His good work
was made possible by Glen Richard
son, at right guard. and Bill Bates, at
right tackle. Three times they open
ed up holes through which Leon plung'
ed for ten or fifteen yards before being
touched by an opponent. POca's line
up consisted of Wallace Gray, center
Glen Richardson right guard; Howard
Lester and Paul Spikes, left guard
Bill Bates, right tackle and right end
Willard Wells and John Shivley, left
tackle; Willie Burlington and Wear
SchoOnOver, right end and right tackle
Carwin Trabeau, left end; Joe Blank
enship, quarter; frankie Blankenship
fullback; Leon Brown and Franz

TOMATO RETURNS GIVEN
BY CANNING FACTORY

The long continued drouth the past
season cut the tomato crop far short
Of normal. 1t is estimated that only
one fourth of normal crop was pro-
duced this year due to, adverse wealth
er conditions. The past season was
everything but encouraging from the
standpoint of lpth the farmer and can
ner, however we are planning now for
next years crop.
1t took considerable effort last spring
to secure the necessary acreage for the
cannery, due to the fact that tomato
growing in this section was practically
"A new industry. However, IA few pro-
gressive farmers signed contracts for
the growing of tomatoes. We feel that
it would only be just and right for
these men to have the first chance at
the tomato contracts for 1926.
We are now ready to sign up our
acreage for next year, which will be
practically twice the amount Of this
year, and We ask all farmers who are
interested in growing tomatoes for the
cannery to call at Sallee Brothers
office.
The question most frequently asked
regarding the tomato crop is "How
much will an acre producer We are
going to answer this question by Civ

amounts they produced per acre. We
