DAILY HEALTH SERVICE :
Body Can Stand Extreme Cold

AS the animal returns to life, the
heart beat appears first, and then
breathing, then vision, then the
ability to maintain a proper position
in the water and finally the ability
to swim.
It even has been found that the
heart Of a fish can be frozen for
several hours at a temperature of
4 degrees Fahrenheit and yet after
slowly thawing it will recover to
natural rhythm.
The human body is likewise able
to Withstand extreme degrees of cold
under certain circumstances. Rec
ords have been made of instances
in which drunkards have been ex-
posed to extreme degrees of cold air
and water for hours and still re-
covered.
One drunkard whose body temper
allure was 1854 degrees Fahrenheit
and who had been exposed all night
to air at about 212 degrees Fahren-
heit, completely recovered.
The individuals temperature may
fall considerably, and DR.. Britton
provides records varying from 1875
degrees Fahrenheit to 83.1 degrees,
with recovery after treatment.

And This Is Tolerance

COMPLETE religious liberty, ex-
~ cept that no child under IS
years Of age can be taught any form
Of religion outside the home.
Churches, synagogs and mosques
granted complete freedom except
that they can not engage in any
social, educational or charitable
work.
Clergynen not interfered with ex-
cept that they enjoy no civil right,
can not send their children to
school or get ration cards.
Tolerance, thou art jewel.
Il
Two Jewish rabbis quoted as con-
demning the outside world for its
protests in favor of religious lib
erty, praising the Soviet as the first
government to grant Jewish equal
ity and the only one discouraging
-Semitisrn.
Who supposes that they ever
made such statement of their own
free will? Whoever put in their
mouths, or forced them to indorse
it, was superlatively ignorant Of
conditions prevailing in America.
This country gave the Jew his
chance before Marx or Lenin was
born.
So, too, this country permitted
half a dozen Communist communi-
ties to show what they could do
without let or hindrance, before the
word Bolsheyist was coined.

MARY LYONS BIRTH

Gu 20
NN Feb. %, 1897, Mary Lyon,
~ founder of Mt. Holyoke COL
lege, and a leader in the movement
for higher education Of women, was
born on farm in Franklin county,
Massachusetts,.
While receiving her education at
three different schools near her
home, Miss Lyons observed that the
courses of instruction we're too in
tellectual and strenuous for young
ladies'"
Resolved to start an institution
which would meet the needs of
young women Of moderate means,
she enlisted the aid Of Edward
Hitchcock, the geologist. and Miss
Zilpah P. Grant, a teacher.
Finally, in 1886, she incorporated
a female seminary at South Hadley,
Mass, and served as its principal
for twelve years at an annual salary
of 5000.
Her work at that institution, now
known as Mt. Holyoke college, was
an important step in the higher ed
ucation Of women.

name in clusters. The anti-alcohol
crowd will picture him as rushing
round to the stage door after a per-
Torrance with six punches Of or
chids and a set purpose to marry
the pony ballet.
Yet, even this, 1 think, will mar
his usefulness as an advocate of
abstinence. Such conduct in the
eyes of Americans smacks just a
little Of excess.
AS a fair-minded debater, I must
confess that if FARO was one whose
heart broke in all directions at the
same time, the mathematical prob
lem of female longevity involved is
exceedingly complicated.
Suppose, for instance, the senior
class at Istanbul'S Rosemary Hall
was asked, What do you intend to
do after graduation" and every one
replied, Marry FARO Afghan" That,
I admit, would throw our calcula-
tons all off.
Nevertheless, I still contend that
prohibition worked better for FARO
than for any or all the current Mrs.
Aghas. think most of them would
have been delighted to see the re-
turn of the old saloon.

AN INTERESTED HOOSIER.
Editor Times-I believe the words
of Christ when he told the rich
man to sell all he had and give to
the poor.
In the campaign of 1923, prayers,
not votes, Of the Protestant people
sent Herbert Hoover to the White
House in a political landslide. Now
a Cleveland panic, mixed with
Hoover prosperity" has brought
soup houses and little children are
begging for bread.
I think the Protestant ministers
should set aside a Sunday to pray
for relief. Then the poor man will
not be compelled to give one day
Of his labor to help the unemployed,
as was suggested this week. Then,
am sure, the Lord will stop this
panic within a few weeks.

quent.
Recently, DR.. s. w. Britton has
made a special survey of the rela-
tionship of cold to life and has
discovered some extremely interest
ing facts.
It has been found that some fish
can survive exposure to sea water
at temperatures from 10 to Il de-
grees below zero for several hours.
Under such circumstances, the
fish gradually lose all sensibility and
finally appears to be frozen stiff.
The heart itself stops.
The animal may be practically
frozen to death for a brief period,
then the temperature of the sur
rounding water increased and 1t

Doing Fairly Well

THIS America of ours is ad-
l. mittedly not all it should be,
and not all we hope to make it, but
thus far, and in comparison to most
other countries, it has done very
well.
One could wish there were less
crime, less hunger, less prejudice,
but ordinary intelligence suggests
that there is a profound difference
between wishes and their ac-
complishmentS.
Room for improvement does not
mean that it can be made too fast,
or too impulsively without grave
risk.
Neither is tolerance the exclusive
property of refornerS.
We are apt to associate narrow
ness and fanaticism with those OPP
posed to reform, but some of the
worst cases have been brought on by
those who wanted it.

totaler most partial? If his first
wife was 20, he might have then
proceeded on an ascending scale.
We're I a believer in Volsteadism,
I might argue that most of the
wives were 70-odd by the time the
knot was tied. This would make
each of them 50 at death, which is
fairly ripe age for any old lady,
wet or dry.
But to me this theory sounds I'M
likely. DR.. Freud has pretty we'll
established the fact that love in
human beings is bounded by some
habituaI urge which is called an
action pattern. If FARO began with
a 2O-year-old wife, he probably went
on marrying 20-year- olders as long
as the supply held out.
Possibly after he passed the CEN
tury mark he grew more critical.
1 imagine he may have said, That
old bag Of I'll" when somebody
mentioned Fatima to him in
serious way on his 1920 birthday.

Motors move this platform so
that when the telescope is pointed

And so, as the motors pointed

Hubble discussed these distant

SpiraIS

THE stars which shine in the
Il heavens constitute our galaxy.
At first astronomers thought this
was all that existed. But later they
found that the stars constituted a
system confined to a certain portion
of space, while other objects lay far
out in space beyond this system, or
galaxy, of ours.
These objects are the so called
spiral nebulae. They are invisible
to the naked eye, but in the tele-
scope look like whirling spirals Of
luminous clOud-like material. They
appear very much like the pin
wheels shot off at Fourth of July
celebrations.
There was much speculation about
their nature. Finally, some as
tronomers suggested that they might
be other galaxies of stars, so far
away that they appeared condensed
into luminous cloud-like stuff.
DR.. Hubble has proved that &C
tually is the case He turned the
big 1O0-inch telescope on the outer
portions of the nearest Of these spi-
rails and took photographs with ex-
posures of several hours.
The resulting photographs showed
that the outer arms of the spiral
were actually composed Of stars.
During a visit to Mt. Wilson OBJ
servatory 1 spent a night looking
at the spiral nebulae through the
100-inch telescope, and as the huge
telescope was pointed first at one
and then another, DR.. Hubble out
lined his views for me.
The 100-inch Telescope differs
from the more familiar sort of
telescope in that it has a mirror at
the bottom of the tube, instead of
lens at the top.
The observer, instead of looking
into an eyepiece at the bottom OF
the tube, looks into an eyepiece set
in the side of the tube at its top.
The telescope is called the 100
inch because the mirror is 100 inches
in diameter.
This mirror weighs four and a
half tons. It is set at the bot
tom Of an open-work tube Of steel,
which Is forty-f1ve feet long. The
tube, mirror and other parts which
have to be moved as the telescope is
used weigh 100 tons.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-
Our GALAXY of Stars Is Only
One of Many and Mag Not
Be the Largest.

.OUR Milky Way or galaxy Of
~ stars is only one Of many ex-
listing in the vast stretches of space
There are a million galaxies OF star
within the range of the great 100
inch telescope at the Mt. Wilson
observatory, the largest telescope il
the world.
1t is impossible to tell how many
galaxies will come within the range
of the 200-inch telescope when It is
completed. Perhaps the number will
be 100000.
1t may be that the number OF
galaxies in the universe is inf
mite, literally stretching out through
infinite space forever.
The largest Of these galaxies
measured so far is about one-sev-
enth the size of our own, the one
in which our sun and earth are
situated. But there is no reason
for supposing that this is the larg-
est one.
There may be galaxies out In
space as large as our own and even
larger. In fact, recent measure
mentS of the velocities of distant
galaXies lead some astronomers to
conclude that somewhere in space
there must be a super galaxy, much
larger than our own.
These facts constitute the most
striking and amazing brought to
light in modern astronomy. They
represent the achievement of many
astronomers, both in America and
in Europe.
Foremost American pioneers In
this field have been DR.. Edwin Hub
bic of the Mt. Wilson observatory
and DR.. Harlow Shapley, director
Of the Harvard observatory.

"ArOusing Controversy"
answer them

Public resentment Of prohibition invasions Of
American civil liberties apparently is beginning to
get under the skins Of enforcement officials. That
is about the only conclusion to be drawn from the
letter of Attorney General Mitchell to senate COM
mttee opposing drastic provisions in the Howell pro-
hbition bill for the District Of Columbia.
The Howell bill would permit the issuance of
search warrants for private dwellings upon informa-
ton Of a still in the house that liquor had been
taken to from the premises. Mitchell objects to
this because it is much drastic than the fed
eral prohibition law. which allows searching of dwell
ngs only If there be proof that liquor is being sold
therein
He damits that certain states have more drastic
search laws He does not argue that such drastic
laws are wrong such. He does not even argue that
the District of Columbia never should have such a
law. But he is opposed to it only for the moment
or so he says-and for special reason. Says Mitchell:
Furthermore, in my judgment, effort to improve
enforcement of the national prohibition act may bet
ter be expended at least for the present in other di
rections than in attempt make more drastic the
provisions for searching private dwengs-an attempt
which would arouse controversy, with doubtful re-
