Cause of Thirst Probed
By Chicago Scientist

DR.. Montgomery points out
that the cause of thirst is a
mystery of science, which scien-
fists have attempted to solve
with two kinds of explanations.
Prof. w. B. Cannon, famous
Harvard University physiologist,
has leaned towards the opinion
that the salivary glands of the
mouth discharge more or less Sa-
Iva according to the water re-
quirement of the body. When the
blood needs more water, the sal
wary glands also lessen their pro-
duction of saliva, so the mouth
feels dry and one feels thirsty.
Other Views Differ
Among experimental proofs Of
the view that thirst is a local
matter of the mouth, Chioti and
Fubini succeeded in 1885 in allay-
ing thirst in dogs by brushing
the throats of these animals with
weak solution of cocaine. The
proof of the opposite view, that
the whole body, and not the
mouth and throat, cause thirst,
was that by injection of water in
the veins thirst was allayed.
The Washington times., 1931-01-28

CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-When you
feel thirsty it means that your
whole body Graves a drink-of
water, of course.
This is the view favored by
Mary Montgomery, of the de-
partment of physiology in the
University of Chicago. She be-
lieves in other words, that thirst
is not governed by the dryness
or wetness of the month alone.
DR.. Montgomery's tests were
made upon dogs. The salivary
glands, which in the mouth dis
charge saliva juice, were de-
stroyed in these dogs. Then the
question was: Will that change
the amount of water consumed
by the dogs?
Tests Last Year
After year of observations
it was found that even "the
total removal of the salivary
glands in these dogs did not
increase their average daily water
intake" So it does not seem
probable that in thirst the pro-
duction of saliva in the mouth
makes any tangible difference.

DRIVE BY CHEST
NETS $4,000

Early reports today indicated
that approximately $125,000 was
in sight for the first days solici-
tation in the $1,950,154 Com
munity Chest campaign launched
today.
Complete figures, however, will
not be available until reports
from group heads are made at a
luncheon meeting at the Willard
Hotel.
So far the Government group
has reported that $4,000 has
been promised and other returns
show $4,000 by the group solici-
tation committee.
$4,000 Is Expected
The latter unit will probably
reach $4,000 when reports are
made at the luncheon.
Elwood Street, director of the
Chest, said returns SO far indicate
that the largest and most success
full campaign in his history will
result.
Five units will make a report
of returns at the luncheon meet
ing. They are: The Govern
mental group, solicitation, schools
unit, metropolitan unit and spe-
cial gift unit.
Mr.. Street, in speaking of the
attitude shown by persons seen
so far for subscriptions, said:
Pressure Is Banned
eve were very much sur
priSed, in view of depression
conditions, of the willingness
with which the public has come
forward in the drive. None of
these people have been sub
jected to pressure or coercion.
If there have been reports con-
trary to this, they are without
foundation"
Checks were received from Mrs.
Helen H. Taft, widow of the for
mer President, today, accom-
panied by letter. The letter
said:
81 leave tomorrow for Charles
ton, to be gone for five weeks
So I cannot join in with you.
I send checks for the COmmun-
ity Chest and the Red Cross,
and / wish 1 could do more"
Banners Are Given
Banners will be awarded today
to the division team and section
in each unit showing the highest
percentage of contributions. This
spirit of competition will continue
throughout the duration of the
campaign until it's conclusion,
when permanent possession of
the trophies will be obtained.
Director Street said that marked
increase in present contributions
received from the same sources
last year was shown in the early
returns.
Man Offers Blood
Included in one contribution
was an offer from a man of his
blood for any TRANSMISSION opera
tions that may be needed by
hospitals affiliated with the
chest.
It was reported that the Ma
tional Geographic Society, which
contributed $252.50 last year, has
already passed the $4,000 mark in
it's current contributions.

BUTLER NJ j 8 7
EXPLAIN 'SLUR'

Mai. Gen. Smedley D. Butler,
the dashing Marine officer and
vice crusader for Philadelphia
during one of his leaves of ab-
Sence, today held the attention
of the Government and military
officials as we'll as the diplomatic
corps.
All are wondering how he will
ex.Jlain alleged remarks some
newspapers said he made about
Premier Mussolini in a speech
last week in Philadelphia which
have resulted in an international
tangle of no small proportion.
Butler Drafts Report
General Butler was busy at his
headquarters at the Quantico
Marine Barracks outlining the
explanation he will send Maj.
Gen. Ben Fuller. commandant of
the Marine Corps.
His explanation, demanded by
Secretary of the Navy Adams,
will decide whether an apology
will be sent to Italy's premier
for Islander" and whether action
will be taken against him.
According to the complaint
Mobile Giacomo De Martino,
Itaiy's ambassador to the United
States, General Butler is alleged
to have resorted to gossip in
the course of his speech before
Philadelphia Contemporary Club
January 19.
His purported hearSay story &C
cused Italy's premier of being a
hit-and-run motorist and it soon
reached Mussolini's ears in Rome.
Acting in characteristic style, the
premier Immediately had the
italian foreign office cable the
embassy here a complete denial OF
Buffers remarks.
Butler Is Quoted
General Butler was quoted as
making the following statement:
"a friend of mine said he
had a ride in a new automobile
with MusSolini, a car with an
armored nose that could knock
over fences and slip under
barbed wire.
"He said they drove through
the country and towns at 70
miles an hour. They ran over
a child and my friend screamed.
MuSSOlini said he shouldn't do
that; that it was only one life
and the affairs of state
couldn't be stopped by one life.
How can you talk disarmament
with a man like that?"
Officials at the Navy Depart
ment revealed that no specific
regulation covers the Butler Incl
dent. The general instructions,
broadly speaking, call for cour-
teous and honorable treatment |
of all foreign government at
taches, prohibiting. of course,
undue utterances." They au-
thorize court martial proceedings
in cases of extreme" violation. |
1t will rest with naval officials
to determine whether Buffers
assertion was an extreme viola |
ton"

On the other hand, the people of Mon

an equally good road to serve our Canadian

The same old country trails await them; the
same old rocks and ruts to contend with;
the same old feeling of disgust towards our
procrastinating state and federal officials
and their everlasting red tape to be unwound
rises uppermost in the minds OF our good
Canadian neighbors when crossing the In
ternational boundary line north of Ray

Hon. A. c. Stewart, Minister of High

long ago received the assurance OF the Mon
tana Highway officials that this state would
be equally prompt in building a good road
to meet their highway No 6. which would
lead through Plentywood and southwark
across the eastern section of Montana, but
they are seemingly still facing the sectional
strifes and jealousies that are hampering
their every effort to do their part in COM
pleting the agreement to build a continuance
of the Canadian highway.
Invitations had been extended to our
Governor and to the members OF the High
way Commission as we'll as officials repre-
senting the federal Good Roads Bureau.
The Premier of Saskatchewan; the Minister
of Highways and every other Provincial Of

there to meet these officials, and we can only
imagine their keen feelings Of d~issapoint-

good roads enthusiasts and officials of the
Canadian : Mexican Highway organization

United States Consular officers at Regina.

TRIPLES

Comparatively few automobile accl-
dents are caused by criminal recklessness or
fragrant errors on the part of the driver.
Most of them are caused by little mis-
takes-by allowing attention to stray from
what you are doing; by forgetting to slow
up, or neglecting to look both ways at a
busy intersections; by being in just a little
more of a hurry to get somewhere than the
occasion really demands; by becoming irri-
tated or impatient at the actions of another
driver.
These are he kinds of things which driv-
ers are doing all the time. In most cases,
nothing happens. But sooner or later the
right cmbination of circumstances arises, so
that lust a few seconds inattention, or just
a little to much speed in the wrong place,
puts you into the path of another machine.
The careful driver controls himself as
we'll as his car. He refuses to allow scenery,
conversation, a wrecked car by the roadside
or the person in the back seat to distract his
attention from the road. He governs his
speed according to traffic, weather, and
highway conditions, curbing his impatience
to get there, or his irritation at the poor
driving of the man ahead. He is actually SAT-
er under the most dangerous traffic, wealth
err or highway conditions than is the inatten-
tive driver under the safest driving condi-
tons.

ed the u. S. Consul at Regina that he would
have to attend a conference of Governors
in Indiana at that time, the other was 0. S.
Warden, Highway Commission chairman,
who wrote that he was sorry he could not
attend.
Collector of Customs Chas. l.. Sheri-
dan and Senator John w. Schnitzler took
advantage Of the invitations and did their
share in responding to the feliciations of
good will and welcome extended to the hum
dreds of American citizens who attended the
banquet.
Why did not at least one member Of the
Montana Highway Commission Gomez If
they had good reasons which absolutely bar
red them from coming, more than one could
at least have indicated this by a letter or mes
sage of regret. They failed to do this, and
deliberately slurred the good folks here as
we'll as our ~neighbors in Saskatchewan.
These things call for an explanation
and we shall certainly be glad to learn what
alibi they will offer.
Are our officials SO bound in the mesh
es Of red tape and sectional political demands
that they must ignore the rank and file Of
all eastern Montana, or are they so callous-
ed and indifferent to the demands of our
residents in favor of the other sections Of
Montana that they ~purposely disregard our
appeal for better roads?
