HOW 1T STARTED
By JEAN NEWTON.
Behind a Woman's Skirts

Isn't it rather inconsistent now that
women have the vote that fashion
should deny the more tImid of the
other sex the protection which was
formerly accorded them by the volu.
minous dimensions of their ladies' cos
tunes below the waist?
Certainly there Is nothing smaller
than a man who would hide behind
the skirts of a woman. We have not
much to say for his breadth or his
depth. But small as his proportions
may be, can you imagine how they
could be crowded behind what in these
days serves for milady the purpose Of
a skirt?
But think of the hoop skirt and the
crinoline of other days, And that's
how it started. For then a man might
very comfortably have concealed him
self behind woman'S skirts
To adjudge this expression an in
dex of the manhood of those days
would certainly be unfair For in all
ages there have been men and men.
But in these days Of other ia ashions it
did not require a great stretch of
the imagination to speak of a man
who permitted a woman to shield him
| as hiding behind her skirts.

How We Manage to Keep Cool.

Man Is an internal combustion en-
gine that, like a gasoline engine,
functions best when at an optimum
temperature You know how well
your automobile engine works after
it has warmed up to. that optimum
and you know what happens II it
gets overheated.
In man heat is produced entirely
by oxidation of fuel---food or tissue
substance-and practically not at all
by friction, although everybody as
sumed. up to the time Washington
crossed the Delaware, that the heat OF
the body was produced by friction of
the circulating blood and by the move
ments of the heart and blood vessels.
The oxidation or combustion OF
this fuel takes place in all the tis-
sues or organs of the body as they
function. the oxygen being transport
ed from the air in the lungs to the
cells Of all the tissues and organs
for this purpose. The optimum tenn
perature Of the body is maintained
at approximately 9S.5 degrees Fahren
heit in man by complex but eff
lent automatic control Of heat pro

Piled PETER.
South with him that Spring, and when
q little later he saw OF Mrs. BuZZard
only now and then, he put two and
two together, as the saying is.
"Those BuZzards have a nest" de-
clared Peter. THAT is why see so
little of or Mrs. BuZZard. All the
feathered people have nests now or
are getting ready to have nests. OF
course, that is what or Mrs. Buzzard
came way up here for. OF Mistah
Buzzard must have told her what a
fine place 1t Is up here, so she left the
Sunny South to make her home here
with him. 1 wonder where that nest
is? I would like to see it. 1t must
be a great big nest. Yes, sir, it must
be a great big nest! Any one as big
as or Mrs. Buzznrd would need a big
nest. I wouldn't be a bit surprised
II 1t is as big as the nest of Plunger
the Osprey. Anyway, it must be as
big as the nest of Redtail the Hawk"
So Peter began to spend a great deal
of time looking for that nest. He had
thought he would find 1t very easily.
He couldn't imagine how such big
nest as he was sure that must be
could possibly be hidden. OF course.
he thought it was near that favorite
tall dead tree on which OF Mistah and
Mrs. Buzzard delighted to sit. So
Peter went about all around there
with his head tipped back looking for
a great big nest. He looked in every
tree for considerable distance
around. Failure to find that nest
made him only the more eager to
find It,
His neck ached. 1t did so. He had
tipped his head back so much that he
had made his neck ache. But he
hI H.
OF that nest. Early one morning he
met his cousin. Jumper the Hare. AS
usual, Peter was hopping along with
his head tipped back. He almost
bumped into Jumper before he saw
him.
cit seems to me, Cousin Peter, you
are carrying your head very high in
the air. said Jumper.
Peter grinned. I'm looking for
something" said he. Il wonder if you
have seen it?"
Perhaps SO. Perhaps not. 1 can
tell you when l know what 1t is you
are looking for replied Jumper.
'1 am looking for the nest Of or
Mrs. Buzzard," replied Peter
'Oh"' exclaimed Jumper. HAS she
q nest? l didn't know it,
"Of course she has nest"' replied
Peter, rather testify. Isn't it the
middle Of the nesting season? What
do you think she came way up here
from the Sunny South for if it wasn't
to build a nest and raise a family?
Why does she disappear for ever so
long at a time unless it is because she
Is sitting on eggs? OF course. she has
a nest. But though I have looked
until my neck aches l haven't been
able to find it She and Mistah Buz-
zard are such wonderful flyers that it
must be that they have built their
nest a long way from here. 1 wonder
If it can be up on the Big Mountain"
why don't you watch them and
see If they fly over there? That ought
to be easy" replied practical Jumper.
It's good idea. I'll try it, re-
piled Peter.

New Oil Regulations
 Affecting Alaska

The following telegram regarding new oil regulations was received by the Anchorage Times from Dan Suth. erland, delegate from Alaska:
 Washington, Feb. l2.-New oil regu- lations affecting Alaska were approved by Secretary of Interior Work today, and provide that notice of cancellation of permits will be published by the Anchorage land office. and that sixty two days will be allowed for filing of applications.
 Drawings by lot will be held on the sixty.third day. Provision is made. however, that any person who goes to the field to locate in person may make such location within the sixty.two- day period sCd lhen IS allowed six months from da.e q cation notice in which to peesea. a. hiog at the Anchorage lsna fi ,.
 j'r.5 3c ual locator then holds prior p-5ar sts, which take precedence over all filings in the office, except sim ilar artual locations in the field.
 The ruling is made thus in order to comply with the law which provides for drawings, but effect of ruling is that all locations made in the field take precedence over applications of those who do not locate in person or by agent.
 The oldest permits issued in Alaska would under law have possible two years in which extensions of time may be granted.
 The policy of the Department of the Interior with regard to extensions has been very liberal, and believe will con- tinue to be so.
 There has Lot to my knowledge been a single rejection of application for ex- tension of time.

 Seattle.-Friends of Governor Scott c. Bone have been aware for some months that he did not wish Eo remain as governor after tbe expiration of his term of office. This was on account of the outlay in office being more than the salary. Accord ing to con6dants, Bone and the preVi ous governor, Thomas Riggs, Jr., had the same trouble. having complained that they spent at least sl0,O00 annual ly, while the salary was but 1000.

former Seattle hurler and recently
with the Washington champions,

the Southern Association, according
to a wire received here by his
brother, Dave. Vean, when he
went up to the big time for the

to make good he wanted to come
back to Seattle. But Bucky Harris
ruled otherwise, and Vean was sent
South as part Of the purchase price

while Vean's friends here thought
he was being discarded by the
Griffmen, but Vean is still at 1t and
will finish out the season below the
Mason and Dixon line.
But chances are it is the last
time organized ball will see the
great veteran. 1t is thought that
Vean will quit the organized game
and devote his time to his oil bust

There is a well-founded rumor
going the rounds that old Vean will
be playing ball next season, but

Washington Points
M HUGH r. RILEY

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. THE ar
rival here Of Robert S. Butler, who
will be head coach Of rowing at the
Naval Academy. has stirred up
considerable interest among those
connected with this sport. Butler,
who graduated from the University
of Washington in 1923, has been
assistant to Rusty Callow there
since that time.
Butler, quite youthful in appear
ance, will be a regular member or
the staff of instructors in the de-
partn1ent of physical training. and
is a competent mentor OF football
and basketball, as well as rowing.
The new coach does not propose
anything revolutionary in rowing,
but will consult with experts in
the Navy style Of rowing and try
to combine 1t with the best in
rowing as taught at Washington so
as to secure an improvement on
both. If possible.
Coach Butler recognizes that there
must be good in rowing, as 1t is
understood and taught at both
places, as the results have proven,
and will not be quick 20 uproot all
that the Navy has acquired.
On the other hand. the superior
ity in the slide work and general
workmanship Of the Washington
oarsmen is recognized here, and
there are high hopes that the right
combination, as 1t will be developed
here, will lead to something better
than college rowing has heretofore
