Health and
Hygiene
BY DR.. w. D. Brown
HEAT EXHAUSTION

Now that hot weather has ar
rived, it is we'll that we discuss
it's deleterious effect on the body
and means of preventing serious
injury. First of all heat ex-
haustion will not occur when heat
production and heat dissipation are
kept at a constant level. Heat in
the body is produced by bodily
activity. This means the more &C
tive one is the more heat is pro-
duced from muscular action. An
excess of this produced heat is
thrown off by the skin, primarily,
through conduction, radiation, and
evaporation of perspiration. When
the surrounding atmosphere is hot
ter than the normal temperature
of the body, conduction and radia-
ton are reversed and the body in
stead of being cooled is made hot
ter by this atmosphere. The only
important method of heat-loss
then is evaporation of perspiration.
To withstand high temperatures,
one must perspire and the air
must be dry enough and in motion
enough to pick up this fluid from
the BODY surface thereby cooling
the body.
To prevent over-heating, work or
rest in as cool and as sun-protected
a place as possible. Eat lightly
and avoid meat which stimulates
heat production in the body. Drink
plenty of water so that perspira-
ton will be free. See that plenty
of salt is imbibed, as much is lost
through perspiration. Avoid alco-
holic drinks, as they disturb the
portion of the brain that controls
the blood circulation.
There have been many deaths
since this heat wave. Do not take
heat exhaustion lightly when it oc-
ours. See that the one so stricken
is removed to a cool, shady spot.
Call a physician to administer
necessary stimulants. Apply cool
water to the skin in streams to re-
duce the fever and to stimulate
the circulation of blood. Ice to
head is also of value to relieve
various nervous manifestations.
The use of hot bath is mentioned
only to be emphatically avoided as
it is paralyzing to surface blood
circulation.

future holds for them.
1t would be difficult, though not
impossible, to do this thing in COM
munities with cOlOred populations
as small and as scattered as they
are in Minneapolis and st. Paul,
but in places where the coIOred
people live in such numbers, where
the attitudes of the white people
encourage them-cOmpeI them, in
fact-tO trade with each other,
where in the language of one col
Ored stOrekeeper, 'the white peo-
pie come to sell and not to buy"
the thing is perfectly feasible.
The church claims to be the most
potent and widespread influence
among it's people. It is a claim
am glad to acknowledge. But the
possession of that influence carries
with it the responsibility for its
full and proper use. It is not
enough to point the people to that
home in the skies we all hope to

be it's course. But at any rate
"things amt the some no mo-"
In an attempt to analyze the &C
tivities of the convention (strip-
ping it of all bally-hoo and clap
trap) the writer is forced to come
to the conclusion that Roosevelt
can expect and will receive the full
support of his party machinery.
There are grumblings and crashing
of teeth, to be sure. But even the
dumbest red neck from Arkansas
knows that minus Roosevelt the
party would have about as much
chance as the Communists in Nazi-
dom. And between the average
mans pride and his privilege
we'll, you tell 'em. So the South
will stick with Roosevelt and the
Northern Negro Democrats will
continue to be elevated to greater
prestige. And I rise to opine that
such a course won't do the party
one bit of harm. And if what the
writer has CLEANED is true from
innumerable conversations with
people in Chicago, Cleveland, South
Bend, Pittsburgh, Gettysburg,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, then
Landon might as well stay home.
But don't take that too prophet
cally-look what Schmeling did to

Kingdom of God to come on "this

clearly defined before US. Let us

COTToN-HEAD SMITHS WALK

Senator Cotton" Ed Smith
gained more publicity walking out
on the Democratic Convention in
Philadelphia because of the pres
ence of Negro delegates than he
has gained in all of his years as a
Cracker" statesman. His antics
gave Negro Republicans something
to make capital of and also placed
the senator among the grand order
of public "jackasses."
If there ever was a more silly
evidence of paucity of statesman
like timber in our southern states
here is a supreme example of it.
There is a feeling of sadness for
the future of a section which will
send such an intolerant, bigoted,
silly old reprobate as Cotton" Ed
Smith to the highest law-making
body of the country. South Caro-
lima surely should retire old "Cot-
ton" Ed. He has made a laughing
stock of his constituents by his
dumbbell walk at Philadelphia.

BICYCLE STAGES
QUICK COMEBACK
Plants Work at Capacity,
but Shipments Trail
Behind Orders.
BY ]. G. DONLEY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 3o.-If the
temerarious prophet who rose up in
the gay nineties had really been q
man of vision, he would have hit the
nail Of the future more squarely on
the head than he did. He opined
that some day the horseless carriage
would seriously challenge the popu-
larity Of the bicycle.
What actually happened was that
the automobile laid the bicycle low
but not forever. Almost two genera
tions later. the bicycle has increased
its production more than tenfold in
a few short years and this year will
set a production total which will put
the peak Of bloomer girl years in the
shade.
The peak year Of the old bike days
saw production Of 1,l82000 two
wheeled vehicles. About 25 per cent
Of that was for export, and there was
a considerable carry over" into the
next year, so that production and
sales were not so nearly synonymous
as nowadays. Last year saw produc-
ton up to 10000 big jump-and
this year is expected to double that
figure.
In their latest weekly business re-
view Dun d. Bradstreet said: "Bicy-
Gle plants have been practically on
capacity schedules all year, but ship
ments are trailing orders and some
of the Christmas orders may be left
behind"
After the boom of the 90s folded,
the bike output dropped below zoe. 900
a year, with a minimum demand sus-
tanned by school children, delivery
boys and some workers and old-timers
who continued to wheel forth and
back while the motor age passed them
by. For the comeback of the bike
credit must be dished out in two di-
rections: First, to the advertising and
sales promotion of the cycle trades,
and second. to the evolution of wom-
ankind from the dainty and demure
to the do-everything. daredevil, out
door-sports-loving damsels of today.
Promotion pressure was sagely CEN
tered upon points whence fashions
and news spread like wildflre-Palm
Springs, Calf. and Miami and Palm
Beach. The new kind of knee ac-
ton" went big in those spots. Bikes
took the movie lots by storm, and
now some stars have their names
painted on the frames Of vivid hue,
