Be Yourself
In the Latin
Republics
By JOHN LEAR,
Wide World News,

II you are planning TO visit Latin
America and are worried about little
slips YOU might make which would
cause hurt feelings, just forget about
it-go ahead and be yourself.
ANY code of behavior adopted
especially for your trip is apt to be
forced. and might be interpreted as
patronizing. To be patronizing is a
cardinal sin in Latin America, even
more than in most places, because
the Latins have been patronized too
much and are weary of it.
Use the same good manners you
would use in your own home. or,
better still, the manners you would
use if you were guest in the home
of friend.
Small mistakes will be forgiven
you if they are sincere. The Latins
are human, too, and they don't eX-
pect you to know all the answers
But they do hope you'll be polite.
Remember, in this connection,
that we in the United States have
tended to grow more and more in
formal in our manners in recent
years. This is not true generally in
Latin America. All the old and
gentle niceties are observed, eSpe-
cially in regard TO women.
Be Ready for Handshake
At Every Meeting.
There is always a handshake when
you meet and leave a friend, no
matter how frequently you see each
other. Be ready for it. Don't COM
ment on the fact that you aren't
accustomed TO this at home.
If you do the most desirable thing
the thing most North Americans
fail to do-ard really try to mix
with and understand the Latins,
you probably will meet up with a
more intimate greeting, the embrace.
1t consists of throwing the right arm
over a friends shoulder in a sort of
half-hug If this happens to you,
reciprocate with warmth. But never
volunteer an embrace to a Latin
unless you are much older and
dearer friends than you are likely
to become on a brief visit. To do
so would be an affront, an intrusion
on the Latin personal life, which is
thing apart.
If you are fortunate enough to be
invited to a Latin home, by all

Froggers Grab Big

Louisiana Yields Million

NEW ORLEANS. - Leather

Of Louisiana's sluggish bayous in

giant green bullfrogs.
They are only part of the army
OF fishermen from Florida, Tonnes
see and Missouri and other states
that make their living catching the
giant frogs from fresh water
marshes and shipping them to big
cities.
Louisiana boasts, however, that
the largest and best eating frogs
come from the southwestern section
Of the state. Rayne lays claim to
the capital city, but Morgan City
and other towns in the area also are
heavy producers.
The state department Of conser-
walton, in figures released recently,
said that 1,286, 900 pounds of frogs
were caught in 1910.
The United States bureau of fish,
cries says that no complete Stats
tics Of the domestic catch Of frogs
are available for Louisiana. How
ever, the bureau said Louisiana ''un-
questionably is one of the most i'm
portant of producing states" for
frogs.
Methods for catching the big,
green fellows differ in the many
states, but in Louisiana such i'm
plements as the spear and gig have
been prohibited by law.
1t wasn't humanity. but economic
reasoning that prompted adoption Of
the Louisiana frog catcher, a tong
like instrument with wooden han
dies and claw-like jaws.
Conservationists discovered that
too many frogs were being gigged
or speared and then released when
the frogger found they were too
small for the market. Most Of these
frogs died.

10 Rebuild Youths
Rejected by Army
NYA Will Establish Camps
To Aid Detectives.

WASHINGTON. - The National
Youth administration is experiment
ing with a plan to rehabilitate young
men who have been rejected for
selective military training because
Of minor physical defects. The plan
will be operated on an entirely vol
untary basis.
Men turned down by local draft
board physicians or by the army be-
cause Of minor physical defects will
be admitted to special NYA camps
where their physical strength will
be built up by the proper diet, ex-
ercise, work and adequate medi-
cal care.
Officials think it will take two or
three months to determine whether
selective service rejects" want to
be rehabilitated by the NYA.
Local doctors and hospitals will
give medical services under a CO.
operative agreement with the NYA,
since the federal agency cannot pro-
vide medical services.
This is definitely just an expert
ment," a spokesman for the NYA
said, but we know these people
can be helped if we have the CO.
operation of local medical people,"
Officials hope to extend the camps
to all sections of the country.
The NYA plans to operate these
camps just as it does the resident
centers where men between the
ages of ID and Is are taught trades
and defense skills. The wages in
a resident-center is $50 a month,
from which $40 is deducted for SUBJ
sistence, leaving $40 cash.
One-haf of each day will be de-
voted to work and the second half
Of the day will be spent in classes
directed by local school officials.

URGES SPEED In
REGISTRATION OF
PILOTS AND PLANES

Taking steps to speed up the
registration now under way, the
Minnesota Aeronautical Commits
sion this week urged all pilots of
airplanes and others subject to lie
ensing under the new Minnesota
law to register at once and obtain
their licenses If they have not al
ready done so.
Under the new law, now in eff
feet, regulations include:
1. Any pilot operating any air
craft from an airport or any area
in the state must carry a pilots
license issued by the commission
or a Minnesota certificate of the
registration of a federal license. A
similar provision requires a lie
ense for aircraft.
O. All airports or landing fields
in the state must be licensed by the
Minnesota Aeronautics Commission
or suspend operation. All flying
schools, ground schools and flying
clubs in the state likewise must
have licenses from the Aeronauti-
cal Commission.

enses may be obtained at any air

Gets New Data
On Mans Ills
DR.. Grille Isolates Diseases
Of Civilization by Study
OF Animals.


Grille. noted clinician. travelled near
ly 100000 miles, tracked down 800
animals and survived a major
plane crash in a Florida swamp to
establish new recently announced
basic physiological law.
DR.. Grille, head Of the widely
known Cleveland clinic, with his re-
search associate, DIR. Daniel p.
Curing, sought to answer riddle
that has plagued medical men for
decades:
why does civilized man alone,
and not aborigines and animals,
suffer such diseases as high blood
pressure, diabetes and heart dis
ease?"
The result Of the quest was a new
physiological law that demonstrates
for the first time a basic relation
ship between the size Of the brain
and the rate of metabolism-the
speed at which calories are burned
by the body.
apes anu man Suuer.
DR.. Grille, noted for his blood pres
sure experiments, and his assistant
found that in all animals except
man and the higher apes the
metabolism rate is relatively con-
slant in relation to the size Of the
brain.
Thus 12,115 small calories" are
consumed every "a hours for each
gram of brain in these animals.
There Is but small variation.
In man and the more advanced
animals such as the apes, however,
this basic relationship or law no
longer applies.
Because of this disequilibrium,
according to the theory, there Is
increased strain upon organic ac-
tivities. This results in diseases
peculiarly human.
The scientists said that practical
applications Of the new law cannot
be envisioned as yet. However,
they expressed belief that the law,
q fundamental contribution to
physiology, will have valuable ef-
fects ultimately.
Wide Area Covered.
DR.. Crile's search for physiologi.
cal facts in animals led him and his
party to areas ranging from the
Arctic seas to tropical jungles.
1t was on their return from a trip
to southern waters that DR.. Grille
and his wife were involved in the
plane crash. A northbound airliner
crashed in swamp during severe
storm. The passengers remained
in the shallow water for hours until
rescuers arrived, and DR.. Grille was
seriously injured.
While in Florida, just before the
crash, DR.. Grille and his party used
q blimp to spot a manatee-com-
monty known as a seacow-which
later was brought to Cleveland to be
placed on exhibit with many other
animals in the Grille collection at
the Sarah Todd Mcbride museum.
The animals In the collection in
clude the manatee-a 935-pound
mammal with an ugly snout-an
ostrich, iguana, shark, alligator,
lion and snake specimens.
Also on display is the largest ele-
plant ever known to have been shot.
The great animal weighed 7A tons
and had heart the size of a medi-
cine ball.
1t was from animals such as these
that DR.. Grille and his helpers re-
moved the brains, hearts, thyroids
and adrenal glands. BY careful cal
culations they found 1t possible to
determine the new basic law.
