suprarenal glands, which are located
on the kidneys, empty into the blood
stream "a fluid called adrenalin. When
this substance gets into the blood 1t
causes the smaller blood vessels, called
arterioles. to construct or get smaller.
The result is, that since the passage
way for the blood has been made
smaller, the heart must pump faster
in order to drive the blood through
the body. AS the heart begins to beat
faster so the lungs begin to work
harder and we pant.
Now the reason that we say we feel
weak at the knees is that the blood
supply to the arms and legs becomes
much lessened because most of the
blood is kept in the larger body cav
ity, the trunk.
Experiments have been made by
DIS. James and Lange. which prove
that this substance, called adrenalln.
is responsible for the changes which
occur. This presents the actions of
people in an entirely different light.
1t is nard to guess what science still
holds in store for us, because as we
become aware of the fact that much Of
our behavior is due to certain physl-
cal qualities. glands, blood supply,
etc, we will be able more and more
not only to understand and account
for the actions of people, but to go a
step further and to make predictions
regarding human behavior.

Carriage Boots in Cool Weather
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Your feet in some sort Of carriage or
motor boot. If your box at the opera
or theater proves to be draughty,
carry your motor boots along with
YOU and sit with your feet tucked into
them. OF light -colored velvet and
satin trimmed with fine fur they are
dainty enough to look well with any
evening frock.
For evening wear many women
prefer fur-trimmed beige galoshes-
especially in the city-because now
adayS even the most privileged mem
berS of society must needs stand
around waiting for their motors. or
may, indeed, have to walk to the corner
of the street to avoid the traffic con-
yestion that occurs when the theaters
are out in the Winter season.

Your Baby and Mine

Il enjoy your articles so much and

Answer.
Bands are a protection for the alb
domen. In the case OF very thin chill
dren, with little or no fat on the alb
domen, this is rather important, as
changes of temperature may upset the
digestion. Your baby has on too MANY
clothes. that. is true. though if by
'pantie body" you mean rubber pants
the heat of these might easily cause
the child to perSpire readily. If the
child is fat and has all her teeth, it
would be quite safe this Spring to re
move the bands. I would not do it

To Save Cunners' Ears.

THE fact that the ears Of gunners
are frequently seriously injured
by the detonation of great guns. the
tympanum of the ear being often
ruptured, has led to the invention Of
q simple. but effective device which
prevents these injurious effects with
out diminishing the sharpness of
hearing.
The protector consists OF a solid
mass Of glass Of such form an to At
accurately the external ear, into
which it is inserted. II Is travsrsea
horizontally by a perforattou, rne ia.
ner end OF which almost toucnes the
tympanum. The outer end Of this
horizontal passage does not quite
quite reach the outer end of the mass
OF glass. but connects with a vertical
passage, which communicates freely
with the atmosphere above and be-
low. The violent disturbance Of the
air caused by the artillery discharge
produces an aspiration In the hori
zontal passage and consequently
rarefaction OF the small mass Of air
confined between the tympanum and
the glass protector.
BY reason OF this rarefaction the
force Of the aerial vibration trans
mitted TO the tympanum is very
greatly reduced. The effect is pro-
duced only by violent compressions
Of the atmosphere 40 that the sensi-
tiveness Of the ear for ordinary
sounds Is not diminished. - -.

Last week Mrs. Rinehart. in the
first of three articles. recounted her
rough riding and fishing expert
ences on a so-called dude" ranch
in Wyoming. These included the
fording of an icy mountain torrent
2 on an arduous ride to an upland
lake. and a headlong plunge into
trout stream which she had sought
to approach stealthily In the hope
Of surprising the fish-all told with
an irrepressible humor that mini
mized the dangers to herself. New
ertheless, these dangers were real
on several occasions.
Mrs. Rinehart's sadventurous spirit
has led her up perilous mountain
sleeps. across barren deserts and
into rarely visited places. Some
times she has been accompa MED by
her husband. Dr. Stanley NJ. Rine-
hart-referred to in this article as
"the Head'-and one or all of her
three sons; at other times she has
gone alone, or at least without mem
: bers Of her family.

ences on Wyoming ranch and in tie

strange and mysterious ceremonies or
which only the subdued chantings
reached the upper air.
At certain hours we saw solemn and
Enthusiastically dressed lines of priests
ascending or descending into the kiva,
| intent on the business in hand.
Around them the village went about
, it's affairs. Dogs barked, and chickens
roamed at large, for the Hopi do not
kill chickens. In front Of the low
pueblo houses were hung meats to
dry in the sun, against the approach
ing celebration. Naked children played,
burros brayed, and women were smart
ening the fronts of their houses with
fresh clay.
The Hopi women build and own the
houses. Indeed, in some ways, the
Hopis have a matriarchy. Divorce is
achieved by the simple method Of the
woman putting the mans saddle and
other belongings out of the house, by
which he understands that he is no
longer persona grata and goes away.
The men weave the dresses of the
women and their sashes.
So the village life went on. Below
in the kiva the snakes were being
washed and purified. Above. in our
camp, they were being looked for in
their blankets by nervous women, and
various members of the party were Wis
iting the little plaza Of the village,
with an eye to picking out positions
