Susan and STROBE of before he
could join them.
Susan looked up and saw him.
+Hello, darling!" she said. MY,
you DID work late"
Yes said Bill. He glared OF in
the direction Adam North had TAX
en-. Seems to me you folks are
OVERRIDING this rehearsing bust

"Oh, no." said Susan. I'VE want

Susan, and smiled again. We all

Certainly! And sit right down

"As If you needed It," grouched
Bill.
What do you mean?"
"Skip IT," Bill opened the gate.
Come on, it's high time both Of
us were in bed. This business OF
having you rehearsing nights, and
coming home late from the factory
days, is getting my goat"
But I'm oeing of service" said
Susan. I'm really "a sort OF cog
in the war machinery"
"Nuts!" said Bill indignantly.
How much longer are you going

electric fan placed right over my
desk. So I'm cool, and I enjoy the

how much longer do you intend
keeping cool in a factory, and en-
joying your work-loads ?"
Until Adams satisfied I've got
things so that the help can run
them along the lines I've planned"
Bill felt anger rising deep within
him. Adam this and Adam that. A
fellow would think Adam was tops
in Susan's life, and not her hus-
band. Susan with Adam all day,
trotting to his Office for this and
for that - and then playing love
scenes with him at night. The devil
and Tom Walker! What in heck

Are you coming to bed or not?

saw them look so lovely. They are

"Okay, so they're like emeralds,

Weather and Colds

There is certainly something in
the relationship Of cold weather
and rain, snow and wet TO catch
ing cold. There are three seasons
when colds are at their peak-tD
January and February. 90 April,
May and June, and 90 Septem-
Der and October. The intervals,
by the way, are about the length
of Paul and Freese's seven week
period of immunity.
The relationship between cold
and wet is not very clear. Ex-
periments in Norway showed that
a sudden drop in temperature was
not necessarily the signal for an
outbreak Of colds, but if the ar
rival Of the first boat Of the ship
ping season corresponded o the
cold spell, colds were prevalent.
In other words, the man on the
boat brought some nice fresh
germs IN and the caused the cpl
demIc-plus the drop in tempera-
ture. II was also noted that trap
pers who fell through the ice
didn't catch cold but if the men
had been 10 town through the sum
mer and fall, they did catch cold.
The lesson seems to be-"Don't fall
through the ice after you have
been 70 town"-cold comfort

Cold PreyentiOns

Prevention is still unsatisfac-
tory, to say the least. Oral vac
eines-taken by mouth-have been
repeatedly proved worthless. In
one college the director of hygiene
gave half the student body oral
vaccine capsules and half of them
milk sugar capsules. Those who
were taking milk sugar capsules
thought they were cold yaccines.
Counting the number Of colds in
the two groups the ones who took
cold capsules had few more colds
than the ones who ate the milk
sugar. A report states that hypo-
dermic vaecines reduce colds about
25 per cent, but such cases have
never wandered up my alley.
As TO treatment, the latest and
most scientific treatise on the prae-
tice of medicine which has just
been put on my desk recommends
aspirin, phenacetin and caffeine
citrate, hot foot baths and warm
drinks. Not exactly spanking new
set Of discoveries.
don't know why people want to
avoid colds so much anyway. The
old remedies are the best. You sit
before hot fire and your mother
rubs hartshorn liniment on your
chest, and covers it with a flannel
cloth. Your feet are in a mustard
foot bath. You quaff a good tum-
bier Of rock and rye-if you can
get the rye and have the rock. Then
