the most practical way of accom-
plishing this.
Air conditioning a home or an
office is admittedly a splendid way
OF regulating body temperature

weather, but it is expensive, as
yet. have seen n or two small
portable and fairly economical air
conditioning units but they are all
still pretty much of a luxury. For
tunately, as l say, the electric fan
or overhead fan is within reach
OF all and still presents the best
preventive measure we have.
Use of Salt
One simple precaution which
has been discovered within the
past few years is the use of salt.
Several Of the symptoms of heat
exhaustion particularly mascloI
cramps-are known to be due %
salt depletion from the body, and
IN industries where the work is
carried on in great heat. the
workers are regularly given salt
tablets and water.
In some of the army training
camps last summer, the routine
administration Of salt before and
after drills and other exertions
has been proved to have prevented
sun stroke and heat exhaustion.
Haldane suggests that the reason
the Indians have so vehemently
protested the salt tax is physio-
rather than political, and
the onus Of that particular tax is
due to the tropical weather.
AS a matter of actual testing,
the temperature of Women's skin
is 2 F. lower than mems, and this,
as Professor Yaglon of Harvard
fas shown, is primarily due to diff
in dress, which certainly
contains a lesson. .

NEW YORK, March ll.-Boxing
has been called the manly art Of
elf-defense. Golden Glovers lean
more toward the manly art of modi-
fed murder, and that's what makes
their shows such fun.
Some day some of these lads CON-
peting at Madison Square Garden
tonight and tomorrow for the right
to battle the Midwest's best may de-
velop into professional champions.
Joe Lewis and Melio Bettina, former
Interchangeable champ. are eX-
Golden Gloves examples who come
to mind.
But even the ones who never get
there are as serious as can be about
this boxing business. The fine points
may have escaped them, but they
know that the principal idea is to
lick the guy in front Of you, and
most of them have q theory that
the quickest way to do that Is to
throw as many punches as possible.
One kid from Huntington, w. Va,
talked himself into frenzy before
the start of each round last night.
During the round he made ferocious
faces land also landed some terrific
punches. Yet when it was all ovel
he grinned as broadly as the next
one and ran over to shake hands
with the boy he'd licked.
Some of them are proud of their
ability. Cirvey Kinsey, Trenton
IN. j. boy, knocked his man cold
in the second round. Lucky,
yelled a heckler as Kinsey stepped
down out of the ring. Lucky, heck, y
the boy called back, that was skill.
