A New Home Arthritis Treatment

Experience has worked out quite
definite schedule which gives the
best reactions. 1t used to be adj
vlsed that the feet or hands should
&c immersed first in the hot and
then in the cold water at one min
ute intervals, ending with the hot.
Experimental studies on the dila-
tation and relaxation of the blood
vessels, which is the object to be
obtained, has shown that best re-
suits are obtained when immersion
in the hot water is carried out for
SIX minutes and the cold for four.
Many patients cannot endure
such long periods of cold INNER
sion, and the exact timing can be
modified so long as the hot INNER
sion Is longer than the cold, and
that the cold is carried out for at
least two minutes. This may seem
pedantlc, but it is in accord with
the changes in size of the smaller
blood vessels which follow quite
definite tlrle schedules. At the
Mayo Clinic they carry out hot
cold dimensions at the following
intervals of minutes: 5-2-5-2-5-2-5.
A treatment thus lasts about half
an hour. Treatments should be
given three or four times a day.

seek boxing fame and fortune return

still fighting for recognition-in a
15-pound bout for the world welter-
weight title.
Henry Armstrong, the little Negro
who once held three championships
and still is king of the welters, meets
Joe Ghnouly, getting his first title
shot after 10 years in the ring.

Joe honestly believes he has q
chance against Armstrong, and he
holsters his confidence with a recol-
lection of what happened one day
last August at Stillman's gymnasium
in New York.
The gnomelike little Italian, hired
as sparring partner, climbed into
the ring for a workout with Lou
Ambers, then training for his sue

Too Tough as Sparmate.
Ghnouly was supposed to go three
routine rounds with the challenger,
but, the story goes, he sailed into
Ambers with great disrespect and
two rounds were enough. Joe was
paid off.
Still and all, the casual fan gave
Ghnouly hardly a chance, although
Armstrong himself said he had
great respect for his fellow St.

Eighteen hearty souls, including
four women, gathered around the
fire at Capital Yacht Club last night
and made plans for Washington's S
daffiest sport, sailboat racing in mid
winter.
Although the temperature was
dipping to new low of the season
and wind was bowling across the ice
encrusted Washington Channel, the
enthusiasts bravely voted to open
their series on January IA, of the
Old Dominion Boat Club in Alex
andria, Va.
With the Tidal Basin taking on
the appearance of an ice palace and
facilities at the local yacht clubs
lacking at this time of year, it was
decided to stage the series nearby
Authorities stated the Potomac at
Alexandria probably would remain
clear of ice longer than any portion
in this area.
Races, to be held every other Sun
day, will be in the little penguin
dinghies, the Districts newest one
design class. Scarcely more than II
feet long, there was some question
whether the small craft would be
large enough for the required two
persons in all their bundles of
clothing.
Plans call for a series of three
short races each Sunday, with plenty
of time out for thawing before a
bonfire to be built on the beach.

be provided in the event the sailors

There was some talk of shifting
to ice boating if the present cold
wave continues and the Potomac
freezes over completely.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The most

still is Jack Dempsey, the tavern
keeper. Though he's slowed up
somewhat since a poisonous appen-
