Uncle Rays Corner
BY RAMON COFFMAN.

When we talk to people on a hot
, day It's said to be more polite to
use the word ''perspire" than the
word sweat" That may be a good
point, but whether we perspire or
whether we sweat, it amounts to
the same thing. A liquid very much
like water comes out of the skin,
The sweat, or perspiration, ac-
tually is 80 per cent water. The
other one per cent is made up al
most entirely of different kinds of
salt. The chief salt is the same as
we use at the table!
i There also is trace, just trace.
of waste matter in the sweat. 1t
amounts to hardly one part in a
thousand.
Perspiration goes on all the time,
whether it is day or night, hot
weather or cold. Tests have shown
that an average person gives off
from one and half to five pints OF
sweat per day!
Most of the sweat is "insensible.
In other words, it turns into vapor
as soon as it comes from the pores
of the skin, and is not noticed.
On hot days it is another story.
Sweat then is likely to come forth
in drops. Some parts of the body
perspire much more than others.
There are more sweat glands on the
forehead than on most other parts
of the body, and that is why we
90 often feel sweat on the brow"
Sweat glands are located in the
skin. They run from an inner layer
of the skin to the surface, and open
on the surface as pore-a tiny
tube through which the moisture

and he was at odds with the world.
But investigation shows that no
amount of kindness is sufficient to
wipe out the disposition to mistrust
every one.
The swapping turtles and the
soft-shelled turtles have the ability
to defend themselves in the same
fashion as do the snakes. These
are the only two turtles known to
follow this method, which makes
them almost unique among che
lonians. Those who have watched
these two turtles in action say they
strike with the rapidity of the rat
tier. The blow, backed up by razor
edged cutting jaws and muscles OF
great power, is likely to cause a
serious wound If not the loss of a
finger or two.
This snapper has a distribution
over Southern Canada and the
United States, usually east Of the
Rocky Mountains and south through
Mexico to Ecuador From stem to
stern this turtle is 20 inches long.
His upper shell is dull olive or
dark brown with few markings, and
the lower shell is dull yellow. The
upper part of the head is very dark
as is also the upper surface of the
legs and tail.
AS these creatures lie partially
covered in the mud of the river
bottom, many are not aware oi
their presence. The turtle lies In

Rags and tatters. Rags and tatters,
Save your life: that's all that matters"
If Peter Rabbit believes anything
he believes that. Perhaps that is
why he is so careless about how he
looks-doesn't mind a little dirt on
his trousers or appear to notice that
the fit of his coat is rather too
ample for trimness. You see the
one great problem before Peter all
the time is to save his life. That
is something you don't have to do
very often. But sometimes you have
to as when you cross the street
crowded with automobiles and elec-
trio cars and teams. Then you have
to use your eyes and your ears for
all they are worth to keep safe and
out of harms way. That rs what

comes. The human body has about
2,500,000 sweat glands which open
on the surface of the body!
When we think of the great num-
ber of sweat glands, we can see how
tiny amount of sweat from each
one may make up large amount
In day.
Even though most of the perspir-
alton is carried away in vapor,
thin film is left on the skin. A bath
from time to time is needed to take
away this film and cleanse the pores
so they can do their work well.
When we perspire freely In hot
weather, it is well to drink more
water than usual. Also it is of help
to eat bit of extra salt to take
the place of salt lost to the body
through perspiration. Salt tablets
for this purpose are sold at drug
stores.
Foot ball coaches sometimes give
their men salt tablets. This is to
make up for the salt which the
players lose while perspirihg during
heavy exercise.

Peter has to do just about all the
time excepting when he is in the
dear Old Brier Patch: So his clothes
seem very unimportant matter to
him, and he seldom thinks of them.
Now as he crouched in the bramble-
tangle on the edge of the Green
Forest looking straight into the
grinning face of Reddy Fox you may
be sure that he had no room in
his thoughts for anything so unim-
portant as clothes. He knew by the
look in Reddy's eyes that Reddy was
going to risk a few scratches and
was coming in after him. He knew
that Reddy knew that the path he
had started to cut through the
bramble -tangle ended right where
he was then sitting, and that there
were no other paths.
Now Peter was frightened. OF
course he was. But he wasn't as

at the scratches he was getting,

at the scratches he was getting,
and he had not yet reached the
really bad places. Every little yelp
of pain from Reddy made Peter
smile in spite of his own troubles.
Thinks he'll have a rabbit din
ner, does he? Well, it won't be
this rabbit, I can tell him that"
muttered Peter as he worked his
way to the very middle of the old
bramble le-tangle.
Then he ventured to stop and
look behind him. Reddy Fox was
already backing out the way he had
come in and he was making great
fuss about 1t, too. Peter knew then
that he was safe for just as long as
he stayed In the hramble-tangle,
and he meant that that should be
for just as long as Reddy Fox and
Redtail the Hawk kept watch out
side. And now that his fright was

frightened as he might have been
if he hadn't known that he could
crawl through that bramble-tangle
even If there was no path, and, be-
cause he was so much smaller, he
could do it faster than Reddy pos
sibly could. Reddy thrust his sharp
face in at the opening and began
to crawl in. Peter turned and began
to wriggle and squeeze through
where the brambles and vines grew
thickest. The thorns clutched at
him and tore his coat. Little tufts
Of fur were left on them. Peter
knew that he was tearing his
clothes. Those sharp thorns hurt.
But he shut his mouth tightly and
kept right on. If they hurt him they
would hurt Reddy Fox q great deal
more. and he didn't believe that
Reddy would stand 1t. Already

not to get too familiar with the
turtle or to swim in the waters he
has chosen.
Young water birds have been
stalked beneath the surface and
dragged under and drowned. The
sharp mandibles quickly tear the
tender flesh to pieces while the
front limbs hold the bird. The
turtle is strictly carnivorous. It
never feeds unless under water. 1t
may capture its prey on the bank
OF the stream or river, but it will
take 1t back to the water to eat.
In the early summer the female
leaves the pond or stream in order
to place her eggs in the soft earth.
Her footprints and the line drawn
by her tail are followed to the nest
by those who are fond of turtle
eggs. She selects damp spot,
scoops away the earth to form a
pocket, into which she crawls and
moves about until the loosened soil
falls down upon her back. She
now is quite hidden until she has
laid all her eggs, about "a of them.
Then she carefully creeps forth,
fitting her shell to a sharp degree
so that the dirt rolls off, covering
all the eggs. They are perfectly
round, white, with a thin, hard
shell. They have a fishy flavor but
are not too strong.
The older snappers have lived in
the water so long they actually
have moss on their shells. They
remain for hours in one position

other things, and the very first
thing was a path out. He didn't
propose to tear his clothes and
scratch himself any more. He would
cut path straight from where he
was to the other side of the

The word VAGARY "a departure

through all the British and Amer

it may safely be regarded as dubious.

In order to sidestep strain In liv-
ing or in money matters one must
learn to make choices. Too many
folks batter their nervous systems
against the wearing wall Of careless
spending or too varied an expendi-
ture of energy.
When a woman has matured to
the point Of actually knowing what
she wants from life, she should elm
mate all those activities which fail
to contribute directly to her happi-
ness or the happiness of those she
loves. We have only so much en-
ergy. We cannot do everything,
and it is a tragic mistake to fritter
this precious vitality away in bor-
ing or unconstructive ways.
The same rule holds good in plan
ming a budget. These should not be
dreary affairs which cut out all
pleasure and stick to stern reality.
However, choices should be made
thoughtfuly. 1t may give you more
happiness to squeeze the nickles
and dimes in small matters in order
to save for trip you very much
want to take. books you long for, a
hobby you wish to pursue, or home
you want to build. With an ultimate
goal in view. careful expenditure
becomes an adventure.
Few people can have everything!
Learn to face facts and decide what
you want for your money. This is
particularly essential now with
prices and taxes rising. We will all
have to cut down some place. Give
serious thought to the spiritual val
ues in your budget.
Because of personal tastes, budget
ing is very personal matter. How
ever, you may want a yardstick to
60 by. I have some new detailed
budgets for various incomes which
take rising prices and income tax
into consideration. If you wish to
