THE EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON THE
 KIDNEYS

For years one of the queries coming regularly to this department has been: "Is 1t bad for the kidneys to ride motorcycle?" and for years the answer has gone out as regularly. "No." From experience know that railway men have similar obsession that the jar of constant rid ing is likely to bring on kidney trouble. There is no foundation for it.
 Exercise of any kind increase the function of excretion by the kidneys. The kidneys, well as lungs and skin, have to remove such by- products of mbustion in the muscles as water, uric acid urea oxalates and other substances. In a person unaccustomed to vigorous exercise ornot in good training these muscle oxidation by-products will show as reddish deposits in the urine.
 Albumen is normally present in the urine, though in too minute :race to show in the standard chemical tests. It is increased by exer- else. A urinalysis immediately after active ex- ercse invariably shows a considerable trace of abumen. This has led to misunderstandings in not few insurance examinations where the eXaming doctor is dumb. Insurance con- panies like 'em that way. When they find a doctor who is extraordinarily dumb they make him director something, and that &C., counts for the funny examination blanks and the silly questions the applicant has to answer.
 The quantity of albumen in the urine is in creased if the vigorous exercise is associated with anxiety excitement, as in football game other contest
 Basketball players usually show albumen after match games and some of them do after mere practice games.
 Marathon runners invariably have a con- siderable trace of albumen in the urine after a race, ana some or them nave DlOOQ cellS in the urine. The albumen persists for week or more.
 Dr R. Raft Mckenzie, referring to this in his classical Exercise in Education and Medicine says:
 This would go to prove that after se-
 exercise there is always nephritis
 lasting from few hours days to
 week. according to the severity of the exer-
 tion and the condition of the subject. The sediment present after exercise re-
 sembles (chemically) the sediment in se-
 
 denty due to the high tension induced in the circulation by the exercise I beg to emphasize that all this is the effect of SEVERE exercise. It need not cramp any, bodys effort to get a fair amount of mod crate exercise every day. Copyright, John F. Dille Co)

 We are told that 100000 boys are walking the roads of America in aimless search of employment and 1t has been proposed that congress appropriate $2,000,000 that 90,000 of these may be rehabilitated.

Kin of 64 Youth Assassinated

Ask Trial of Killers

HAVANA, Oct. 27 G,N.SD.
While bomb explos ions rang
Trough Havana, raising a wave
Of terror, mothers of 64 youths
assassinated during the Machado
regime today demanded ven
geance.
Urging the government to act
quickly, the women demanded
President Grau San Martin start
immediate prosecution of all
known Machado killers now held
in prison.
The cry of the bereaved women
for retribution rose in an atmos-
phere of unrest and violence as
the city remained tense through
still another wave of bombing, cul-
minating in a blast in front of
the Casa MediaS.
Street Cars Bombed
This building, whe. the offices
of radio station CMQ are situated,
was damaged by the explosion, as
was a store next door. No one
was hurt. The radio station last
night condemned the bombing
activities.
The proprietor of the station,
DR.. L. A. Cambo. explained he
was an exile during the Machado
regime, and thus could not offer
motive for the attack.
Earlier, two additional street
cars were bombed in the suburbs
and another was bombed in the
downtown section of the city.
Two Spaniards were slightly hurt.

He asserted he was trying to

WOMEN WARNED
ON COSMETICS

Pointing out a loophole in Fed
eral food and drug laws which
prevent the Government from
taking any action against cos
metics unless they have curative
claims on their labels, w. G.
Campbell. chief of the Food and
Drug Administration. today de-
clared that recent Investigations
showed numerous cases of blind
ness resulting from the use Of a
certain eye-lash preparation.
One prominent clubwoman in
Dayton, Ohio, became totally
blind after applying the cosmetic,
Campbell said, because of the
presence in the nostrum Of an
aniline dye which is extremely
corrosive and capable Of burning
away the outer coating Of the
eyes.
While the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration deplores the loss of
eye-sight by one person, much less
the many known to have suf-
fered from this dangerous "beau-
tifier," Campbell stated that un-
der existing laws his administra-
ton can do nothing but warn the
public in the case of cosmetics.
No legal action can be taken un-
less labels bear false claims.

woman may have more than

with him and set Mabel free.

Violence on Increase
In Wisconsin Strike

MILWAUKEE,, Oct. q Q.N.SO.
To the accompaniment Of increas-
ing violence along a wide front,
directors Of the Wisconsin COOP
erative milk pool today drafted
plans for launching 10000 dairy
men behind the National Farmers
Holiday Association strike next
Tuesday.
Their direct objective, it was
revealed, will be to shut off the
milk supply of Chicago and Mil
wauke in the fight for higher
prices.
Warning against violence, Gov.
A. G. Schmedeman refused to
cal out the National Guard to
preserve order. announcing he
would rely on local law enforce
ment bodies. The governor ex-
pressed his sympathy for the
farmers.
The milk pool has participated
In two previous strikes this year.
Pickets gathered along the high
ways of northern and central
Wisconsin meanwhile we're resort
ing to milk dumping on an in
creasing scale. Three hundred
pickets in Dane county stopped

Gold Up in London;
Dollar Is Stronger

LONDON, Oct. q GNs),
Following the upward march
of the Washington gold price,
British bullion dealers today set
the London gold price at 131
shillings pence per ounce, up
four pence half penny or about
9 cents, from yesterdays selling
price.
Today's price included a pre-
MUM of nine pence half penny
over the French price.
Dollar Rallies
At the same time, the Ameri-
can dollar, after opening at
$4.7412 to the pound sterling on
the London Exchange. rallied to
$4.7212 at 11:15 a. m.
The improvement in the dollar
continued as trading progressed.
and at noon it was quoted at
$4.71 to the pound.
Comparison of today's London
gold price and yesterdays gold
price in Washington, in which
President Roosevelt pegged gold
18 cents higher at $31.54. gives
sterling a dollar equivalent Of
about $4.82.
The market exchange rate ran
10 cents lower. since the Ameri-
can price applied only to domes-
tic gold, and payment in r. F. c.
debentures precluded arbitrage
operations.

mystery today. the situation
created by Mayor John P.

tee. which will open an investi-
CATION next month into alleged

Frank Boas, Columbia University
anthropologist, asked that scrut-

German students in American
universities.
Order Cited
DR.. Boas, a German Jew whose
books were among those burned
by Nazis in Germany, cited an
order he said came from the
Nazi supreme command, directing
all German students at foreign
universities to register their ad-
dresses in Berlin.
The registration, according to
the order cited by DR.. Boas. was
to:
Enable these German stu
dents to inform their foreign
fellow students about German
conditions, and to instruct
them in spreading infOrma-
tiOn."
DR.. Boas made it clear he was
not accusing Columbia students of
taking part in such activities and
said he did not know whether
the Nazi propagandists are oper-
atlng there or not.
Reported at Sea
Although officers of the United
German Societies. under whose
auspices the German day rally
was scheduled to be held Sur lay
night, said they had no knowledge
of where Spanknoebel is today,
