While In Surf
" ed on page 81

A twelve-man uniformed life-sav'
ing squad will patrol the strand o1
Carolina Beach this summer tt
assure vacationists there they will
meet with no accidents in the surf.
Last year the foundation was
aid for the formation of a uni
ormed life-Saving squad which
would be second to none in the
nation and the expansion of this
squad from six to twelve men this
year is another step in that direct
lon.
Last year there were four regu'
ar and two volunteers on the
squad. This year the volunteers
will be increased to bring the total
number to Il men and vacationists
may be assured that every man
on that squad, paid or volunteer,
Is a w~ell-trained, experienced life
guard, versed in water safety and
in the latest methods of water
rescue.
No man will be allowed to join
The force who does not come up
TO the standards of rigid examinat.
ions and inspections held by three
life guards whose years of exper.
fence total 80.
And simply passing an examinat-
ion will not be enough, for period
lcally throughout the summer
drills will be held and demonstrate
ions will be staged to assure vacat-
lonlsts that the men on the squad
are still fit and that they have
not forgotten any of their training.
Two of the members of the squad
are being sent by the Town of
Carolina Beach to the national a.
quatic school to learn the latest
methods Of water rescue and re-
suscitation. On their return to the
resort town they, in turn, will

This EXPERIMENT
Just A Matter Of Nerves
BURNED 'EM UP
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
APP Science Editor

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Per-
sons who say they are exquisitely
sensitive to pain, or that they
are average or very insensitive,
are only talking about a state of
mind and nerves.
They are mistaken in belief
that their bodies are more or
less susceptible to pain than
other persons.
Scientific tests on $50 persons
which show this are reported in
the journal Science by George
A. Schumacher, Helen Goodell,
James D. Hardy and Harold G.
Wolff of the Cornell University
Medical College.
The pain was measured ray
of heat striking a small area on
the forehead. The human guinea
pigs all gave their opinions of
how much hurt. Some were sure
they felt the slightest burn, 9TH
ers that they were pretty tough
customers.
The Instruments, which re-
corded the amount of heat that
caused pain to each person, how
ever, told a different story. The
painful heat was always so near
ly the same that the slight diff
ferences had no meaning.
There was no practical differ
ence between men and women.
These experiments measured the
pain Threshold; that is the
amount of pain that person
could just recognize.

OPPORTUNITY FOR

receive $4,000 per month, a pri-
vate first-class, $34.5O, or better.
a corporal, $4,000 or better. and
a sergeant, S54.00, or better. In
addition to private's base pay
as listed above, there are spe-
clalistS ratings, which would in
crease their pay by several dol
lars per month. All this plus
proper clothing and three square
meals a day.
There is no doubt in my mind
that the CONSUMPTION bill, which
is causing so many hot argu-
ments, will be passed, and in the
very near future.
When it does, and is put into
effect, l don't think that a young
man who is conscripted will have
any choice as to what particular
branch of the service he may de-
sire to join. My argument is,
now is the time to take advan-
tage of the fact that there : are
vacancies in the local Unit of
National Guard, which is as
signed to 8" anti-aircraft guns.
This branch of the service will be
heaven compared to some others
that I have in mind
Another point is, the advan-
tage of being with a group of
hometown boys-bOys who have
known one another practically
all their lives"

1outed Central Team

Schoo|boy Title
Tackles Western, While
Roosevelt, Anocostio
ToneIe in Series

Central, defending champion,
faced its first chance to make good
the claim that its baseball team
this year is an improvement over
last years when it took the field at
Central today at $3.50 against q vet
eran Western club in one Of the
opening games Of the interhigh
series. In another series game
Roosevelt and Anacostia were to
meet at Roosevelt.
Bill Fisher. star right-hander for
the Central team. was to pitch with
Carmel Nance, q consistent winner
last year, set to start for Western.
In its only game this spring Central
had little trouble winning and
showed exceptional power at the
plate. Western, too, has displayed
strength, beating Georgetown Frosh
in practice game.
Roosevelt, which expects to do as
we'll or better than last year when it
finished second, was to send husky
Eddie Vermillion to the hill to op-
pose Art Faircloth, Anacostia's hurl-
ing ace. In its only game to date
Roosevelt beat snappy Washing
ton-Lee team by one run in a 10-in-
ming battle.
Unlike last year when three of the
seven interhigh teams were licked
before the series started, this years
competition is expected to be a
seven-club scrap.

Prior to his victory last year Black
Sweep had been hunted regularly

shire had purchased Black Sweep
from a Charlestown, w. Va, feed
man who was racing the horse.
Shortly after winning the Middle
burg Cup Black Sweep was entered

Gould, owner of Ostend; was dubi-
GUS about the chances of that horse
to repeat his two earlier triumphs

To Rass|ing Bear
500-Pound Ginger Tries
To Pin Referee Also;
Terror Disqualified

Tom Marvin, er, Chief White
Feather, picked up a handsome
brown bear rug last night at Tur-
ner's Arena and dropped 1t like .
500-pound weight upon discovering
genuine live animal inside. but
quickly the rug wrapped its shaggy
self around the alarmed gladiator
and in exactly 3 minutes pinned
him.
Doclie until spurred by . shrill
blast from Trainer-owner-manager
Roy Welch's lips, Ginger had
little trouble with Mrs. White
Feathers boy. Marvin, beg pardon,
White Feather, found himself on
the bottom Immediately after they
came together the first time and
spent most of his time there for
the duration of the match.
Once the animal mistook Referee
Casey Berger for a combatant and
proceeded to pin him, but was pulled
of by WEIGH. The trainer kept
his charge anchored at the end of
thick hemp rope, large enough
TO hold a battleship to avoid any
unexpected unpleasantness, but
Ginger seemed satisfied to work
only at Welch's command and spent
the rest Of the time lying on White
Feathers quivering carcass.
In other matches Rudy Dusek
won from the Golden Terror, who
was disqualified; Angelo Savoldi
bowed to Abe Kaplan, Warren Book

Jack Hader pinned Abe Tourist.

Turner to Bid HeoviIy
For Conn Fight Here

Billy Conn, lieht-heavyweight
champion and prominently men,
toned as Joe Louis next heavy
weight victim, may appear here this
summer If Promoter Joe Turner's
plans materialize. Turner wants
the Pittsburgh Irishman for a title
fight In July at Grifnth Stadium
and is willing to put up a sizeable
guarantee as bait. His publicity
agent said Uncle Joe was willing
to lay $4,000 on the line, with a
privilege Of 3712 per cent Of the net
gate to get Conn here, but this
seemed trifle high.
Buddy Scott, who meets Danny
Hassett Monday night at the Arena,
would be Conn's opponent.
