Perhaps the best solution of the
whole question is that offered by the

to curtail kidnapping operations.

Temperature COnSld


Fever is generally considered to
mean any condition Of the human
body In which the temperature IS re-
corded above the normal. Normal,
as indicated by the little red, arrow
on the thermometer, IS 98.6 degrees
F. or 81 degrees G. Thermometers
are graded from 80 to 108: sometimes
from 80 to 110. Seldom, however, do
human beings reach either Of these
extreme temperatures.
The Temperatures Of birds vary BE-
tween 104 and l08 degrees F. Most
animals have temperatures somewhat
higher than that Of man. The tenn
peratures of. rabbits vary from 102 TO
l04 degrees r. Much depends, Of
course, on the way in which the tenn
perature is recorded. A thermometer
placed in the mouth with the lips
held tightly shut will, il the person
is normal, record 986. A thermome-
ter placed under the arm will record
around 97.6 to SO. A thermometer
placed in the other entrances and
exits Of the body may record around
80 to 99.6. There may be q varia-
ton in the temperature from the
lowest temperature, which occurs
early in the morning, to the highest
temperature, which occurs late in the
afternoon. It is interesting to know
that II person works at night ana
sleeps during the day, these readings
may be reversed.
. Fever may result not only from
disturbance Of the heat regulating
mechanism Of the body, but directly
through disturbances of the blood Or
Of the breathing rate.
The recording of fever is impor-
tant for the physician, because by /:

New York Oct. 10.-While taps are
still being sounded over the old-time
night spots Of broadway, the yen for

Speeding and Danger

Studies carried on by psychologists
Of Ohio State university under the
auspices Of the National Research
Council show that the slow automo-
bile driver manages to get involved
in more accidents than the fast one;
and whether this is simply because
there are more of him, or because
there is something inherently dam
gerous about slow driving, it is bound
to be of interest to motorists every.
where.
One reason, as the psychologists
point out, is that truly competent
driver tends to travel faster than q
poor one; and the poor one, plodding
along at what he conceives to be a
safe pace, manages nevertheless to
get into accidents which a better
driver would avoid.
Chiefly, however, the study is in
teresting as a demonstration of the
fact that mere speed, by itself. is not
necessarily dangerous. A good driver,
hitting 45-mile clip, can be far less
of a menace to public safety than q
poor one whose car does not go over
Is miles an hour all the way.

he IS able to make diagnoses Of con-
ditions In which the fever is distinc-
tive. In some conditions, such as
pneumonia, typhoid fever, the fever
IS usually high and stays high. In
conditions like tuberculosis and gen.
eral invasion Of the body by SEPTIC
germs, the fever is low in the morn
ing and high In the afternoon. In
some forms of malaria fever oc-
ours that lasts about eight hours and
develops every other day; in other
forms OF malaria the fever lasts about
eight hours but occurs only every
three days.
Whenever the body is invaded by
bacteria or toxins poisonous sub
stances are developed which in some
manner affect the tissues Of the body
in charge of the control of the regu-
lation OF heat. Apparently heat is
developed very rapidly in the body
when this control Is taken away, and
the response Is q chill. The elimina-
ton Of heat does not keep pace with
its production, so the temperature
goes up rapidly. There are various
views as to the significance Of fever.
In most instances it is coming to be
considered as being without harm un-
less it IS very high. If it is high, it
may produce severe intoxication and
lead to death. There is another view
that fever helps to control the de-
velopment Of bacteria in the body be-
cause the cells, being stimulated to
activity, kill bacteria more rapidly.
There are simple methods of con-
trolling fever when it gets too high.
It can be controlled by sponging with
water, thus aiding the evaporation
of water from the surface of the
body. It can also be controlled by
giving drugs which help to depress
the mechanism for the production Of
heat.

Ousting the Short Seller
(MinneanoliS Tribune)

Periodic attacks on the short selle.
on the stock and grain exchanges
have resulted in temporary bans onI
his operations but they have never
been made the subject for q perma-
nent and definite policy. In times
Of stress, such as hit the markets in
1929 and again when England went
off the gold standard, the operations
Of the bears have been banned BY
the governing boards of the ex-
changes. This temporary restriction
has raised this question in the minds |
Of many-if the operator who sells
short Is . menace now, what does he
contribute at. any time which justi-
flies his existence?
In the last few weeks this question
has become more ins6tent and Sena-
tor Watson is authority for the state
ment that stock exchanges now face
q congressional investigation and pos
sible legislation aimed at curtailing
the operations Of the bears. PreSi-
dent Hoover has condemned the prac-
tice and this statement from a leader
in the administration Is considered
as q warning to the exchanges that
they can choose between putting their
own house in order or suffer the con-
sequences Of investigation by con-
grekS.
Short selling is probably not an
unmixed evil. On booming market
the bear operator has q place that
is seldom disputed and when prices
are falling there is an easy oppor-
tunity to exaggerate the influence of
his sales. But at time when the
whole commercial and financial
structure Of the world is admittedly
in a precarious condition, and when
even declines on speculative markets
have depressing effect. on general
business, the, operator who seeks to
garner profits through bear raids and
thus contribute to further declines is
certainly an unwanted and detrimen-
tai factor.
It. would not seem unreasonable to
expect the exchanges themselves to
see the wisdom of taking precaution-
ary measures to protect the nation
from the evils of short selling. II
the short seller is at times q neces-
sary factor the governing boards of
exchanges should protect those vir-
tues by definite curb on the opera
tor who abuses the privilege. # self
ishneas has SO blinded them that they
cannot see the wisdom in taking such
action, congress would be more than
justified in intervening to protect
the public interest.
