The Human Body Is a Heat
Radiator Constantly STRIP
ing to adjust Itself to the
Temperature of It's Sur
roundingS.
THE human body, like a stove or
Il a star, is heat radiator. This
interesting phase of human activity
is being given intensive study at the
Smithsonian institution.
Every living creating keeps up a
constant interchange Of heat waves
with its surroundings. Almost half
the heat lost by an individual is
given of in the form Of heat waves.
To remain alive, every warm
blooded creature must maintain a
constant relationship between the
heat that it radiates and the heat
that it receives by radiation from
its surroundings. A number Of
physiological processes are con-
cerned with the adjustment Of this
relationship.
The astrophysical laboratory Of
the Smithsonian institution, which
for many years has been interested
particularly in the study of the heat
radiation of the sun, has under
taken the study of the heat radia-
ton of the human body.
Scientists of the laboratory have
found that the well-known radia-
ton formulate which apply to stoves
or stars, apply also to the human
body.
Their studies, it now appears, will
have important bearing upon such
subjects as the heating of school,
rooms and the arrangement Of the
seats in the schoolroom.

Cool, COURAGEOUS
7 INCOLN had the wonderfr

7 INCOLN had the wonderful
IL faculty of not losing his head.
He simply refused to be swayed
by the temper which surrounded
him, by the hate which strife en-
gendered as it grew fiercer, by the
lust for vengeance and the vanity
of success.
1t has been said that Lincoln
would have proved a weakling had
he been permitted to live and that
his untimely death was really a
blessing.
That, too, is only an opinion.
The one thing we can be sure
of is that the man went through
four years of war without once for
getting that the people on the
other side were much like those on
his own, prone to make mistakes
and deserving of sympathy.
It took some moral courage to
do that, some steadfastness of
mind, some faith in the innate
goodness of humanity.

What Lincoln Means to Us Is
Human Sympathy in the
Highest Sense--G Sym
pathy That Gould Rs e
Above the Heat of Passion
and Conflict.
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Abraham
II Lincoln was an anomaly.
His career violated about every
rule in which we are taught to be-
lieve.
He was not well born, well edu-
Gated, or we'll trained.
He never held an executive posi-
ton of Importance before becoming
President of the United States.
Although the poverty amid which
he grew up can be dismissed as I'M
exceptional, no eugenist would have
picked his parents to produce a
leader.
No pedagogue would pick the
schools he attended, the compan-
ions with which he travelled, or the
trades he followed in early man
hood as representing the proper
background for a man destined to
guide this nation through its
greatest agony.

Is This True?

The United States is preventing effective peace
action by the League Of Nations in the far east This
in effect, is the charge made by a reputable Amer-
can press correspondent from Geneva. He writes:
Geneva is ready to talk, act and risk for peace
simultaneously with Washington. The whole ques-
ton here is as to whether washington is ready to
talk, act and risk for peace simultaneously with the
league -.
League members a.. feel that the Americans,
instead of continually criticsing the league fail
ing to keep peace in the far east ought to show an
that the league can not act effectively in
this region without the United States.
Because effective action thus depends primarily
the United States and Britain, and because Wash
ington for domestic reasons which all understand,
prefers to avoid appearing to closely with
the league the United states lately has been tending
toward limiting her collaboration to London and ig-
noring Geneva"
The Scripps- Howard newspapers during the early
months Of the Manchurian crisis, attacked the
Hoover administration for blocking effective inter-
national action especially in refusing support the
leagues November demands upon Japan
Later when the obstructionist role was reversed
and the league powers failed support the American
peace action in January we criticised those powers
We had supposed that now the United States still
taking the initiative and that it was the league
powers who still were preventing the United front
for peace
But, according to Geneva, the roles have been re-
versed third time, and the United States again is
the culprit.
What is the truth of this matterP The answer is
vitality important.
Every agrees that the only chance of effective
outside pressure Japan at this late day is through
an international united front Every agrees also
that this united front today is lacking
Why? President Hoover or Secretary of State
Stimson should answer

IT SEEMS TO ME BY HE RFSSS

A L SMITH has been praised for
N the brevity and the frankness
of his statement. 1t could have
been shorter. It seems to me that
81 would like to run for President"
might have covered the ground adj
mirably.
There is nothing very important
in the reservations "I will not make
a convention campaign to Sc
cure the support of delegates"
after all, nobody expected the
Governor to set up a Stepladder
on the street corners at this early
date, and there is nothing on earth
to prevent his friends and support
ers organizing in his behalf, which
they assuredly will do.
There is every reason why Al
Smith should enter the fight. Few
will deny that he is at least as well
qualified as any other candidate in
the Democratic party, and the one
reason advanced against his coming
into the contest seems to me no rea-
son at all, but rather a clarion call
for enlistment.
I refer to the point of view ex-
pressed in az editorial in the New
York Times. That newspaper praises
Smith for his many virtues, then
sounds a cry of alarm.

Greatness Lives

BECAUSE of his obvious handi-
ID caps, many profess to believe
that Lincoln was not a great man.
To let them tell it, his pre-emi-
nence is largely the by-product of
emotionaliSm.
They have the right to hold such
an opinion, but it is only an opin-
ion, while Lincoln's pre-eminence
remains a fact.
You can count on the fingers of
your hand those men who enjoy
equal respect not only in America,
but throughout the world.
Whether this respect rests on an
extravagant idealization of medi-
OGRE qualities, or on an instructive
appreciation of deeper virtues, it
has become a reality in our ira
ditions.

Chance for a Body Blow

DUT knowing the tactics Of major
ID political parties as we all do, it
must be admitted that no conven-
ton is going to be stampeded in
favor of something which seems to
it both righteous and disastrous.
It would be better by far to wage
losing war against bigotry than
not to fight at all. But it is pleas
ant to report that the chance of
success in this endeavor was never
better. Surely Al Smith has stood
the test Of second thought and sober
recapitulation better than the men
who did the dirty work against him.
1t Is not the proudest feather in
Hoover's cap that he countenanced
the Klan campaign Tor his election.

Intensely Human

TINE name of Lincoln stands for
l. something which we reverence,
something which each and every
one of us would like to possess,
and which would make all Of us a
little better if we did possess it.
That something is above the
mere ability to do things.
No one ever thinks of Lincoln as
a smart man, as a doer, or driver.
No one associates him with the
heroic, or brutal, side Of war.
No one remembers him as can
ny statesman, or shrewd diplomat.
What Lincoln means to us is hui
man sympathy in its highest sense
"a sympathy that could survive in
the midst TO turmoil, that could
rise above the heat and passion of
conflict, that could fight and be
tolerant at the same time.

w could have delivered the Get
tysburg address?
Where will you find a parallel for
it in all the pages of history?
Here was a nation torn by strife
and just emerging from an attack
that almost proved successful, yet
Lincoln said, with malice toward
none, but charity for all"
Doesn't it make some of our Bit
ter, vitrio1ic utterances sound very
small?
Lincoln said little during the
Civil war that wouldn't bear repeat
ing sixty years afterward.
Now contrast that with what some
of the great leaders said during the
World war.

WHENEVER a person previous

becomes dizzy, giddy, or light
headed, he has developed Symp-
tom that demands serious consider
alton.
We walk erect and undisturbed
through what is known as the sense
Of equilibrium. This sense is made
up of number of senses coming
from various places in the human
body.
In the internal ear there are the
semi-circular canals, small rings of
bone containing fluid, with solid
substances in the fluid, these rings
being in different planes or levels.
From these rings sensations pass
to the brain, indicating whether or

And by now even the solidest of the
solid south knows Bishop Cannon
for what he is. Bigotry is not done,
but it is bruised and bleeding. Now
is the time to hang a solid punch
on the point of the jaw.
During the election Of 1928, Re-
publican workers circulated in GER
tain parts of the south a picture
Of Al Smith at the opening of the
Holland tubes. The voters were
gravely informed that this was the
beginning of a tunnel leading from
the White House to the Vatican.
And many who saw the picture
went out eagerly to whoop it up
for Hoover. They might do so again
but, after all, the future of Amer
lea depends upon manhood suffrage
and not moronic.

No Compromise With Evil

TT is a true saying, and an ex-
l. cellent one, that no issue ever is
settled until it is settled right. We
should not tremble because an OPP
portunity comes once again to fight
out the issue of religious bigotry in
America.
Only the timid will counsel a
breathing spell of twenty or thirty
years. Such interval gives aid and
comfort to the enemy. The Helms
and the Cannons will say, and say
with reason:
1--WE taught them a lesson that
time. They do not dare to chal-
lenge our authority again"
Nor can the breaking of the solid
south be regarded as pure tragedy.
The existence of a great section
which voted solely by label has
tended to corrupt our political ma
chinery. This condition has made
every Republican national conven-
ton sort Of market day.
It has reduced the south itself
to political subserviance, since not
even the most brilliant leader from
that part Of the country was ever
considered eligible as candidate
because Of political expediency.
Anybody who believes in the DO
tentialities Of democratic govern
ment must rejoice at the advent
of day when every state in the
Union becomes a doubtful state. In
that direction freedom lies.

Blood Carries Heat

~ O1doOCO LllG oGuQGUU Is sur
4 rounded by other students" DR.,
Aldrich continued. "As rough ex-
ample, assume a class placed in
rows, with spaces Of two feet be-
tween students in a row and the
same distance between rows. I'M
agine each student to be cylindri-
cal, one foot in diameter and four
feet high.
1.-THE four students nearest to a
given student would occupy roughly
10 per cent of the space to which
central student is radiating. The
amount Of space occupied by all the
surrounding students would be about
20 per cent of the total space to
which the central student is radi-
ating.
eff we reduce the space between
students to only one foot, the area
occupied by the other students in
creases to about 35 per cent of the
whole. For spacing of three feet
it reduces to only 10 per cent.
I'm other words, when students
are spaced one foot apart, the to-
tai radiation loss Of each is some
IS per cent less than If he we're
alone in the room.
when the spacing is three feet,
the radiation loss is 10 per cent
less"
The radiation from a human be-
ing, Aldrich found, is almost en-
tirely from the skin and clothing.
The heat produced by the food
combustion processes inside the
body is transferred to the outer
surfaces mainly by the circulation
of the blood.
Human skin. measurements in the
Smithsonian laboratory showed, is
an almost perfect non-transmitter
of the long wave radiation which
IS felt as heat.

NEW WOMAN's PRISON SIMILAR COUNTRY CLUB:
 MODERN, EVERYTHING

NEW YORK, Mar 30.-Mayor Walker on Tuesday inspected the new prison for women, an innova- tion insofar as penitentiaries are concerned.
 Each cell is six by ten feet Ill size, has hot and cold running water, lavatory, comfortable beds, furniture, and the former heavy bars in front of each cell have been done away with and in their stead are curtained windows permitting privacy.
 The prison is built more on the order Of a prominent woman'S club, having a roof garden, handball, ping-pong, tennis courts, card ta- bles, and there is some talk of lay ing out a golf course. The old denim costume has been replaced by bright colored gingham uni forms.
 It is planned to organize jazz band in the near future and invite Mayor Walker for tea.
