WHAT is THIS THING
WE CALL HEAT?

OF the two extremes of tempera-
ture that man must face, he is less
likely to survive excessive heat, ac-
cording to the Taylor Instrument
company, Rockefeller Center.
The effect of heat varies with in
dividuals. One who perspires free
ly benefits by the cooling of the
skin, induced by evaporation, and
is not apt to become prostrated in a
drier climate. But, with high hui
midity, when the air is saturated
evaporation no longer functions and
the perspiring individual is placed
at a great disadvantag In fact
more suffering occurs when heat is
accompanied by high humidity, than
ever at a greater heat but with
drier air.
The oft-repested expression, 'it's
not the heat but the humidity
contains more truth than most peo-
pie realize The low humidity, fre-
quently less than Is percent, OF
some southwestern areas, permits
human existence in temperature far
in excess of 100 degrees, while the
high humidities of the east and
south at times approaching 100 per-
cent in clear weather, cause heat
fatalities in temperature as low as
IS degrees

 Brit. Ship, Hold
 Dollar Liner

SHANGHAI, Oct. 24 tP)-The Japanese aerial bombing of the British warship Sandpiper, and a customs dispute over an Ameri- can passenger liner added two new incidents in the long list of international complications in the China war.
 Bombs from six Japanese plan es fell about and damaged the superStructure of the Sandpiper, British gunboat anchored at Chaengsha, about two hundred miles southwest of Hankow. There were no casualties.
 British naval officials vigorous ly protested the bombing of the Sandpiper.
 The customs dispute arose over Japanese refusal to clear the Dollar Liner President Coolidge early this morning for San Fran cisco, with a cargo of silver val ued at more than four million dollars, which the Japanese spon sored government apparently considered its own property. The Dollar Line agreed to unload the silver whereupon permission was granted for them to sail on Tuesday
 Japanese planes bombed Ham kow rail centers all day Sunday, and today's twenty mile advance brought Japanese naval forces to within twenty air miles from the Chinese capitol. A small force of the Japanese captors of Canton, strove with dynamite to fight the fires which are sweeping the city. Canton dispatches said that thiev es were footing shops and thou sands of Chinese fled the city.

Daily Short Story

He burst into the parlor off the
lobby and cursed the piano player
who had been numbering 1t.
IF you can't play that hymn
decently, don't commit a sacri-
lege," he said. Here, let me show
you"
When he had finished playing
Mr.. Tufts emerged from the next
room. Hicks" he said, come
clean. I've got you dead to rights.
Now tell me why you ran away
from home and I'll tell you how to
get back without losing face"
WELL" Henry admitted after a
long pause, II went swing crazy.
I got listening to it over the radio
one night and suddenly it got me.
1 could't admit my weakness be
cause for years I had been a stick.
Ter for the best of sacred music.
80 like a drunkard, I got to
slipping it and finally I ran away
so I could play it all the time.
How can 1 go home now?"
"Okay," TUFTS said. Here's
how. Thousands Of people dis
appear every year suffering from
loss of memory or amnesia. That's
what you had. Your wife and
family are waiting for you. They'll
believe you"
The newspapers made quite a
story about it. His family, firm
and church accepted him back
gladly. He is twice as popular as
ever he was. He struts a little
now. You see few people believe
he really lost his memory. They
believe he had at least a romantic
and at most a wicked reason for
going away. They are waiting
around in the hopes that some
day they will learn it.

llIeIlIuC.
1t is a curious phenomenon. The
victim is, to all apparent purposes
in good health, spirits and pros
poets. He goes around mindinE
his own business, sometimes with
a great deal of efficiency. Then
bang! He's gone.
Relatives and friends are sure
he has met with foul play. Aftel
checking up carefully and beinl
assured Of the fact that there i
no other woman" or fiendiShlJ
concealed bottle or other shame
ful fact hidden in the mazeS Of
his private life, they go to the
police with his description.
"JUST CAN'T REMEMBER"
When they find him, he is gen
orally doing all right. He is nor
NAL as you are. Only, he just
can't remember who he ES-or
was, because by now he has taken
another name and personality.
When they tell him he hurrieS
back home, tickled to death thai
somebody stuck him back in the
niche where he belongs.
Henry Hicks was a bookkeepel
for the Wall Street brokerage firm
OF Dale, Thompson & VorheeS. He
was innocuouS, scarcely noticeable
an atom of the mass. He played
the piano very well, except thai
he specialized in sacred music.
But Henry was no nondescript
He had a Shrewd brain, person
ality which made you notice him
once you became aware of him
and a strong will. At 26 he mar
ried a Miss Ernestine Yore, a
Sprightly, vivacious and shapely
brunette.
To do it he mad to lift her from
q surrounding fog of suitors which
included a wealthy merchant, an
actor who afterwards became a
star and a charming drunkard who
later married the widow of a mil
Gonaire.
Sitting up on his high stool
Henry watched the flotSam and
jetsam of finance flow past him
reaching in now and then to grasp
q nice bit of wreckage. Figures
were more than figures to him
They were facts interpreted by
numbers. He added up and sub
tracted and then invested.
He did so well that at the age
of 40, his fortune was estimated
at about 100000 and really was
$4,000, most of it in tax-exempt
securities, and a ducal salary
which he drew as comptroller
or whatever you call the financial
nerve center of a brokers' office.
He was also the father of three
