The temperature responses
present a condition that must be
familiar to many.
The clinical picture Is dra-
matte. Most striking is the
rapid rise of temperature. the
relative warmth of the trunk
and the icy dryness Of the ex-
tremities.
Venous blotching often ap-
pears in nondependable portions
of the skin of the extremities
and less frequently in the trunk.
The small hairs stand on end
and there is complete absence OF

Thus il is evident that heat
loss is reduced TO a minimum as
there is no sweating. and blood

MISPLACED SPIT
The island, situated near a
bend in the great river. the
river that separated two
states, was no more than a
misplaced spit of land heavy
with green woods and lush
with grass with a narrow
strip of sandy beach.
"Could there be folks Twin
here?" Captain Ravenscroft
turned to Capt. julie Axt as
the sole member of the trio
who had stuck close by the
old home town. Ravenscroft
was lately come home from
the West where he had served
out a long term shipping all
over the world. McSWaggertY-
had earned his captaincy as a
policeman in a famous
metropolis while julie Axis

Hey, you, come out o.
there" McSwaggerty called
when they had her cornered.
1--WE won't hurt you"
1t was the frightened wisp
of girl who stepped gingerly
from the tall grass and moved
hesitantly toward them. The
sight of three grinning males
who plainly had naught but
good will in their hearts lent
her courage. She said:
