at 116 degrees, and man at about
100 degrees. These figures refer to
the temperature Of the surrounding
air, not to the body tempe nature,
Of course.
Loose, porous clothing allows the
heat to pass easily away from the
body. Precipitation is an excellent
method Of losing heat. Men can
stand higher temperatures than
dogs, for instance, because men are
able to perspire. Water can carry
more heat without showing it than
anything else in the world. OF
course, the water that is lost by
perspiration must be replenished,
which is why one must drink plenty
Of water in warm weather.
People who do not perspire will
be more comfortable in hot weather
If they drink hot tea and coffee,
rather than iced drinks, as the
warm liquids will induce extra per-
Spiration.
A muggy day with high humidity
is uncomfortable because the air
already holds all the water it can
take up and the body can not get
cool by sweating off the heat.

BIZ Science SerDtCe
WASHINGTON, June 2e.-In hot
weather, the question is not how to
keep the heat out, but how to get
the heat out. Science has fc ID
many ways of doing this, and has
found explanations for many of
the old and tried ways of keeping
cool.
In cool weather, the heat passes
from a higher to lower tenn
perature as easily as water runs
down hill When the temperature
around the body gets as high as the
temperature within the body, it Is
difficult to get rid Of the surplus
heat.
Normally the body's temperature
is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit In some
recent studies in the tropics, it was
found that man usually collapsed
when his temperature was 104 or
105 degrees. The lethal level, at
which death would occur, was fixed
at ITO degrees. A few cases have
been recorded in which men survived
temperatures of from 100 to liz de-
grees during heat stroke, but in
these cases the high temperatures
did not last for long.
Animals succumb to different
levels of environmenta1 temperature.
For instance, the f~~~ suffers frc-n
heat stroke when the temperature
around his body gets up to 104
degrees. The guinea pig begins to
succumb when the shade tenn
perature Is 10 degrees, the rabbit

Schreiber's body was hanging over
a barbed wire fence. He either had
been thrown from an automobile or
died while making his way to seek
aid. The girls body was found near
a railroad crossing.
Their rented automobile was
found nearby. It bore bloodstains
and two holes, apparently made by
bullets.
Schneider, it was known, had SIS

His pockets were turned inside out.
Papers in his coat were undisturbed.

YEARS. DEFICIT
FOR TREASURY
Increase in Taxes May Be
Proposed by Mellon to
Next Congress.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 2o-The
government is ending its business
year with attention conferred on the
treasury.
While Secretary Mellon is in
Europe negotiating over the Hoover
debt moratorium plan, the treasury
will close its books Tuesday with the
first deficit since Mellon left. private
business ten years ago to take his
important cabinet Office.
Reduced revenues and extraordi-
nary expenditures, both partly at
tributed to the depression, combined
70 cause a deficit which Is expected
total around $860,0oo,o00.
Tax Hike Possible
Going into the new fiscal year,
which starts Wednesday, with such
a deficit and with little prospect of
an increase Of revenues, the govern
ment faces another deficit a year
hence and probably a much larger
one.
Rigid economy and long term
bond issues to take care of its debts
will be the means employed by the
administration to avert a tax In
crease at the next session of con-
gress.
But toward the end Of his ad-
ministration and after the national
elections next year, congress is like
~ to find on its doorstep another
Mellon tax plan" which, unlike
the four others which have pre-
coded it, will provide for an In
crease Of taxes.
Stable Taxation Needed
During this year of depression
the income tax has proved that it
huctuates too much with the ebb
and flow of business, and some sup
Elementary tax forms more stable

officials to be needed.

NEFF THOUGHT
sure CHOICE
Head BAYLOR
Former Governor Is
Regarded Brooks
Successor

AUSTIN, May 1870 certain is
Former Gov. Pat NJ. Neff regard
ed as the next president OF Baylor
University that already definite
maneuvering for his state office is
going on.
Gov. Neff would resign a $500
job-for which he has a remaining
five-year elected term-to take the
$4,000 place as president Of the
university whose chairman he has
Seen for a quarter-century.
The monetary side OF II would
have little influence. Gov. Neff was
ready 10 retire from the governors
office itself to have given his eff
fort to the school in years past.
Next to the late Pres. Samuel
Palmer Brooks. he was most closely
associated with Baylor affairs. He
and DR.. Brooks. roOmmates In the
school In their youth. carried on
together through all the years the
leadership of the influential church
school.
Mr.. Neff was replaced as chair
man Of the railroad commission az
the end Of his appointive term. and
after he had been elected 10 a six
year term as junior member. He
has been in disagreement with the
rest OF the commission Oh oil pro-
ration and motortruck licensing,
two of the major phases Of the
commissions work. His personal
plans we're frustrated. His services
in the commission have not been
at all cheering.
This Is a secondary reason for
his willingness to serve BAYLOR as
its president. The board which will
make the selection are men who
have served with Gov. Neff in ad-
ministrative direction OF the uni
versity for years. The election IS
one in which there apparently
won't even be a second choice.
That is what Is swelling Gov.
Ross S. Sterling's mail. and bring
ing callers 70 the executive office.
When Mr.. Neff resigns. the gov
will be called on 70 appoint
his successor. TIE appointment will
be only until next years election.
Then two places must be filled: a
four-year term In Neff's present post
and a six-year term for the present
Chmn. c. v. Terrell or his success

One ~ two persons already In
official places are known TO have
longing eyes upon Gov. Neffs seat
in the commission. Other persons,

are willing.
