are less affected by heat and cold
than are men, who even when
clothed in heavy dress suits are
chilly, whereas the women in light
evening dress and decolletage are
comfortable. The kidneys in won-
en- are more active than in men,
maintaining circulatory equilib-r
rum, perhaps one reason why
blood pressure may not carry as
high danger to the heart as IN
men. Swollen ankles, it was point
ed out, are a sign Of much more
grave import in men than in
women.
Here also are recorded the obser-
vations Of James Paget. He spoke
Of how the blood vessels became
calcified and chalky as age adj
vances-that man became earthly
in his vessels and his organs as If
he were preparing for the grave.
Organs which are becoming OBJ
solete in the species, like wisdom
teeth and little toes, are frequently
found in a state Of degeneration,
undergoing in the individual
changes of obsolescence.
Then another observation OF
Paget's was that steady pressure
on any spot on the body would
cause liberation like bedsore, while
intermittent pressure would lead to
callus and corrs.

Government quarters described

A foreign office spokesman

While reliable reports from pri-

him. his clothing caught fire,
and he was severely burned, but
he sal until his comrades put
out the fire.
For saving his ship, says

U.P)-Five German warships-

fortified loyalist seaport, kill

prisal for the loyalist bomb

battleship" Deutschland.
(Almeria's population nor

almost doubled by an influx
of refugees a.f ter Spanish
rebels captured Malaga.)
The loyalist government at
Valencia announced that it
was prepared to defend itself
in a war with Germany.
Berlin Admission
From Berlin came calm admiG-
sion of the bombardment and a
statement that Chancellor Adolf
Hitler would "ask no further res
titution or make any further
claims" to avenge the Deutsch-

The Deutschland was bombed by
two loyalist planes Saturday as
she lay at anchor in the rebel-held
harbor of Iviza in the Balearics.

bardment of this ancient Andalu-
sian town, 104 miles east Of Mala-
ga on the southern Mediterranean

ARE CHILDREN IN DANGER
IN GREENBELT PARKING AREAS.

It has been called to the attention
Of the Cooperator that children use.
court areas, behond buildings. as very
desirabTez places in which to- play.
These areas, incidentally, ere use
full parking" places for motorists,
truck drivers, and delivery services.
Every automobi lie driver should be
very careful while entering or leaving
these areas.
The motorist who recklessly drives
into these courts, or who hastily
backs out Of a garage, without due
regard for the lives Of chi ldren, is
truly inconsiderate.
Every child has a right to the
enjoyment Of these court areas.
Shouldn't every motorist. therefore,,
be very careful?

'1ToNin Crier", the name offered to

my mind pictures of powdered wigs
and knee-breeches outmoded symbols
Of outmoded ege.
Greenbelt has been pronounced the
town Of the future. Certainly it is
the last word in modernity. Somehow
electric ranges, cas- ement windows, and
underpe sses do not mix it'll the term
"Town Crier".
"Cooperator" is very proper
for news paper since the term des-
cribes that feature which is most.
unique and signif cant in Greenbelt--
the Cooperatives.
Mr.. Custer fears that to some cit
liens the present name, "Cooperator",
might suggest reorganization. I see
no grounds for such fears. cooper

exactly the opposite Of "regimentation".
For Will lie reorganization means the COM

their wishes, cooperation, on the other
hand, means the free and voluntary work.
