HOT TEA ON HOT DAYS

Doubtless doctors and those who have
lived ia the tropics will take issue with
the Assistant Surgeon General who
rms against the use Of hot Itea in hot
weather, says the New York Times. This
flies in the face Of long experience ia tro-
pic lands.
70 be sure, we in the northern part
of the U0ited States have stedfastly re-
fused TO consider our Summer climate
tropical, despite the fact that on many
days temperature Saod humidity exceed
the average in equatorial countries. We
have also a tradition of cold drinks to up
hold, having for gen aratiOns delighted in
chilling our Summer beverages.
But the English and others who have
long lived IN the tropics aad have tried
drinks both hot and cold have learned
the danger Of loading TOO much very cold
liquid into OVerneatrd stOmachs and the
aivanta2e vi taxing plaIn, hot tea instead.
Tn theory is that, although the hot tea
produces a mOn3ntary excess Of heat, II
is followed by increased activity of the
pores which, in turn, produces an agree
abb sensation of GOODNESS.
TO most Americans this idea is not al
tractiVe, Iue suggestion that a hot
drink can be COOLING they regard as laugh
aola. But II would be d pity if the
rules" issued Ia Washington should de.
ter people from USING this tried and sue

HARDWICK CASE
SUBMIT TED TO
SUPREME COURT

The case of the people against
Joseph Hardwick, former chief of
police of Calexicc, has been submit
ted to the supreme court of the
state for its consideration.
-Hardwick was convicted here last
year on a charge of assault with q
deadly weapon, complaint being en-
tered by w. A. Taylor, lettuce
buyer of Los Angeles. Attorneys
for the defense, Hervey and Conk-
ling, appealed the case and were
granted retrial by the district
court of appeals. The prosecution
then carried the case to the supreme
court, seeking to have the decision
of the appellate court reversed. -
Oral argument was begun before
the supreme court but Attorney
Conkling sought continuance of
the case, declaring that he was not
fully prepared to argue the matter.
After some argument had been en-
tered, however, it was agreed that
the remainder of the ease should be
submitted by brief. These briefs
supreme court.
The defense is basing its appeal
on two main points. The first of
these is the refusal of the court to
allow the introduction of pardon
in evidence by the defense after the
prosecution had brought out that
Hardwick had previously been con-
,i.t a1 on falpnv cbn
The second point upon which the
defense is fighting the conviction
is an instruction given the jurors by
Judge Finney in which he intimated
that the word of person once
convicted on felony charge was
not to be given as much credance
as that of another person.
1t is expected that the supreme
court will return its decision within
60, davs.

with a large crowd watching their
maneuvers.
