THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

A bit more plain everyday thinking, and
one Is likely to eat more simple meal In
hot weather, on the theory that the body
does not need so much Matchmaking
foods
That is true. To load the system UP
with as much bread and potatoes, for
instance, as in Winter is not only to
waste food, but to make ones self hot.
Just how far this extra heat will be
felt is question. The body itself,
whether at the North Pole, or in the
tropics, maintains its inner temperature
at remarkably stable state
The theory is, however, that such foods,
in hot weather, tend to make one hot,
when one is already too hot. It is a
good theory and ought to be kept in
mind.
Large mixtures of food, with large
drinks, either hot or cold, strong or weak,
tend to upset the stomach in Summer
more than during cold weather, and the
reason is not far to seek: The body does
not need so much, that is ALL
Yet many persons undoubtedly go right
ahead eating, regardless of the weather,
with sometimes sad results.
Eskimos eat blubber, and all the
entrails OF the animals they catch, and
thus get plenty Of sustenance, along with
fair share of vitamins and mineral
elements.
Many an American, in hot Summer,
eats much the same way, regardless of
time or place.
Then wonders why his stomach is
"upset"
X
What to do when this occurs?
The animals have been telling us, all
these centuries, but there is nothing more
rare than for human being to follow
their lead.
They stop eating.
Humans doubt this, and so keep on
eating "just little something" to keep
up their strength" as they say.
Which reminds us, why do YOU hear
so many persons pronounce the word
strength" as If written "strenth"?
Perhaps two out of every ten say 1t
that way.
For the same reason, whatever 1t is,
one person out of every twenty will pro-
nounce the word "perspiration" as if
written 'prespiration."
Our guess is that such mispronuncia-
tions are due to the universal habit of
so many people of really not looking at
words when they see them.
It is queer quirk, and one which de-
serves learned monograph some time by
an undisputed authority.
\
If the idea of liquid diet has ever
intrigued you, the Summer is a good
time to try it out.
One naturally needs more liquid now
than when the temperature is 80 degrees
or less.
What with "prespiration" and one
thing and another, the bodily economy
can use great deal more liquid Plenty
of water inside and outside is a good
Summer prescription for everybody.
One of the best things 1t will do, of
course, is to prevent one from eating so
much.

Anglo-Cer1nan Tiff.

Germany and Great Britain are find
Ing that in diplomacy, as in more ro-
mantle realms, the course of true love
never did run smooth. just as Baron
Won Neurath, Hitler's foreign minister,
was about to proceed to London on a
mission Of reconciliation, including dis
cussion of a revived Locarno pact and
the Spanish situation, his journey was
suddenly abandoned. Deep offense is
taken by the British at both the rea-
son for, and the manner of, the sudden
change In plans. Berlin claims that
the crisis created by repeated Loyalist
attacks on German warships in the
Mediterranean does not permit the for
eign minister to leave his post and ex-
plains that his trip is merely postponed.
The British view, which reflects undis-
guised resentment, is that the visit is
"off'-that entirely new circumstances
must arise before second invitation will
be presented in the Wilhelmstrasse
Fears are rife in London that some
deep-laid Nazi scheme lies at the root
of the Won Neurath episode. Germany
had alleged that her cruiser Leipzig,
which is taking part in the international
patrol of the Spanish coasts, was the
victim last week of unprovoked Loyalist
submarine attacks near Algeria. Al
though confirmation of such incidents
is lacking, Germany hastened to de-
mand that the other patrol powers,
Great Britain, France and Italy, join
her in reprisal action against Loyalist
Spain, including possible action against
its fleet. Britain was unwilling for the
moment to do more than warn the
Valencia authorities against wanton at
tacks on foreign ships. Thereupon, with
that ineptitude so often characteristic of
German diplomacy, Hitler Cancelled the
Won Neurath visit in an unmistakable
huff, causing the British to feel not
only that they had been snubbed but
that Berlin had rudely wrecked the
prospect OF an Anglo rapproche-
ment. There is suspicion of personal
diplomatic intrigue as the root cause
of the tragic-comic affair. Herr Won
Ribbentrop, Hitlers Ambassador in Lon
don is reported to resent Foreign Min
lister Won Neurath's intrusion" in Great
Britain, which has never liked Ribben-
trops brusque demands on the subject
of Germany's former colonies. It was
expected that Won Neurath would soft
pedal colonial restoration and concen-
trate on more pressing issues.
Italy is credited with viewing without
undue alarm even the semblance OF an
Anglo German rift, for Mussolini sus-
poets pertidious Albion of plot to wean
Hitler from the Berlin-Rome axis. The
disturbed French political situation and
the Russian purge" crisis may well
suggest to both relationships, along
with the victory of Bilbao, that the hour
is ripe for good Fascist fishing not only
in the troubled waters of Spain, but
throughout Europe. Next week will mark
another anniversary OF the spark that
ignited the confagration of 1914 Is the
Old World on the brink of new explo-
sion?

Dressing Up.

Everybody, it seems, likes to dress up.
The attraction of pretty costumes is uni
versal. Even savages decorate them
selves. The instinct to be ornamented
appears to be Unborn. No community
anywhere is satisfied with an absence
OF beauty. Instead, society the most
primitive, as well as the most refined,
practices an art of sartorial character.
Little children manifest the impulse
almost from their infancy. They dress
their dolls, then themselves. It is ''the
best fun ever" to play seamstress or
tailor, especially if human models of
the proper age are available. Mother
gowns and fathers tuxedo have fasci-
nation tor the youngsters. They de-

The situation had become rather en-

ton could not be had, especially on Sum

agency would have issued one If appli-

food were made, but not Of the right
kind. The elephant seemed to know
that 1t had the better of the situation.
Along came another spectator, little
girl OF six years, accompanied by her
father. The elephant seemed to take
notice OF the child. A bright idea oc-

reached forth its trunk. The child was
brave enough to stand her ground and
yielded the turnip. It disappeared. The
trunk came forth for another. which
was rendered and taken. Then at last
the big beast moved forward and in
few minutes had been lured to the truck,
into which 1t advanced over a newly
PROVIDED ramp-and the strike was
broken.
Let this example be noted. If there
is any suggestion that the elephant in
the Canarsie strike was symbol of
political significance, let it be taken to
heart. There is evidently higher law
than that of strike strategy.

Hot weather and stomach upsets 60

Hot weather and stomach upsets 60
together.
There seems to be a mild sort Of epi-
demic OF aches going around. probably
due to nothing more than the above -men-
toned combination.
Many persons forget that q tempera-
ture Of 80 degrees or thereabouts In the
shade tends to do things to the system.
Just what happens is not entirely clear,
but it seems to center around the in
ability of the entire digestive tract to
handle certain substances which, In
cooler weather, cause little, If any, trouble.
Just what microbes and poisons these
are must be left to those whose duty 1t
is to decide; what remains to be done is
to point out the plain danger to those
who otherwise would not think about the
matter at all.
Every one has certain food idiosyn-
crasies, and these must be scrupulously
observed In hot weather, for undoubtedly
there Is something about the weather
which makes certain foodstuf1s hard to
handle IN cooking and keeping, and
these difdculties will account for the
trouble, In almost all cases.
Something may 60 wrong before eat
ing and decidedly something may 60
wrong after eating.
It is personal matter.
Almost every one with modicum of
common sense realizes where the trouble
lies, in any given case.
There are great many more bad
combinations than the old one Of crabs
and ice cream. Many persons assert that
even this combination Is not harmful,
but still many illnesses, some OF them
fatal, have been laid at its door.
The one thing even the most careless
person can do for himself In warm
weather Is to think.
1t is an amazing thing, how many
persons there are who never seem to
think at all.
This particularly applies to the con-
sumption Of food and drink
In the first place, it is held by many
to be a sign Of weakness to be at all
interested in the physical being. It is all
right to think about what you feed your
motor, but not about what you feed
yourself.
In the second place. the reading world
has been so beset with food theories,
some of which are very complicated (the
calory theory, for instance), that the
great average person finally gives over
the struggle.
Eat what is set before you, and say
nothing more about it,"
That injunction of the so-called gay
COS is applied heartily today by many
Of the humans, since grown, to whom it
was given so many years ago.
+
Still there remains something to be
said in favor of thinking before eating.
Just little thought. and one will not
eat exactly in the same way as in Winter.
Just little more, and one is likely to
reject certain foods at strange places,
mainly because one cannot be sure how
they were handled in the "a hours prior
to their appearance on the table.

STRANGE NEGRO STORIES OF THE
OLD DEEP SOUTH. BY H. D.
Howell. Los Angeles: Wetzel Pub
fishing Co., Inc.
Here are six stories of the deep South,
gathered by man who for nearly half
century suffered the tortures and en-
Joyed the adventures of a career as a
travelling salesman. They are tales based
on fact and folklore and told with the
sincerity and sympathy which can only
be acquired through affectionate friend
ship and long association with the peo-
pie OF the old South during that era of
picturesque and happy civilization that
Is, alas, rapidly fading into memory.
-Four of the stories are about crippled
children, little black bundles of physical
misery, seeking nothing for themselves
and serving with unselfish devotion and
loyalty those into whose keeping chance
has placed them. One story gives the
background and career of q successful
dancer, and another is the common type
OF comedy and tragedy in domestic life
which is familiar in all sections where
the Negro is at home with himself and
with his own carefree world,
Use No Good to Be Borned" is the
story of Little Affus, whose mother did
not want him and who was born with
withered leg. He was unacquainted
with happiness until fate placed him in
the hands OF man for whom his father
mad worked for years and made it pos
slble for him to be helpful and to save
the life of valuable horse, and to re-
store sanity and happiness to his mother
and father.
"Suzann's Minstel Boy" is the story
OF dancing lad who was taken to a
minstrel show by visiting engineer and
was thus started on career that brought
him fame throughout the country. It
Is. based upon a true story which still
fingers in the memory of old-time the
atergoers.
"Lil Black 10" was another malformed
creature, deserted and cast upon the
mercy of relatives and friends, terrifying
them by recitals of his visions and
eventually sacrificing himself in devotion
to beautiful lady whose death broke
his heart.
"Uggie Knows the Way" is the fascinat-
ing story Of little girl whose devotion,
loyalty and business acumen kept an
orphan asylum going through thick and
thin, though its manager was both self
ish and incompetent, and eventually
Strengthened out badly tangled love
affair which resulted in the materializa-
tion of vision which came to her dur
ing an illness and which nobody was
able to understand.
Little Humpy, the Doll Maker" is the
story of hunchback, another little fel-
low mo good to be borned" and passed
along from one caretaker to another
until adopted by an old uncle and per-
mitted to sit in his workshop on q large
estate. There he learns to make dolls,
saves q desperate man from violent
death, and by the faithful carrying out
of commission entrusted to him by
the dying old uncle restores valuable
property and lays the foundation for
the building Of new fortune for his
benefactors.
Genuine tales are these, and the nice
thing about them u that ths author says
there are many moro to come.
