effort to determine the relation
ship between capacity for work and
blood sugar level, under the super
vision of the departments of phys

athletics.
DR.. John Hal6l, associate pro-
fesSor Of Physiology, said the expert
ment may determine whether pro-
teins or starcheS constitute correct
diets.
The II trainees will be given the
controlled diet on alternate days.
One day they are scheduled to be
given steaks, bread. butter, eggs,
anC other foods abundant in pro-
teins and fats, and the next they
are slated for diet equal in caloric
content, but consisting of sugar,
potatoes, bananas and cereals, with
only a small amount of meat.
Each night the IL men are to
swim 300 feet at top speed with a
short rest period each 100 feet. A

He did, and he issued one OF his

THE BlOOMLESS PEACH

(Christian Science Monitor)
Life is getting to be far too easy. You
push button and the auto engine turns
over. You push another button. your
house is lighted. Another and radio mu
sic fills the air. And now they're taking
the fuzz off peaches
Admittedly, effortlassness is a fine
thing Struggle of itself has probably
little virtue. But personally we wonder
if the peach will taste as sweet after the
fuzz is off.
Mind YOU we do not especially care for
fuzz. But isn't there some added luscious
ness to the peach when you have to bite
through astringent skin to get to it?
Peaches that have been de-fuzzed, we
understand, will cost quite lot more
than the plain fuzzy kind. Maybe the
high price will be sufficient substitute
for the unpleasant skin that made the
inside taste all the better.

HOLD YOUR HAT
(RedlandS Daily Facts)

If you have feared that this years cool
summer heralded a change in the Cali
fornia climate, you can stop worrying
DR.. Jakob Bierkness, professor of me-
teorology at UCLA, says it faint So
DR.. Bjerkness, an international author
ity on the weather, has studied the aver
age temperature records for Los Angeles
for the last 65 years and reports that
there is no significant trend toward cool
er climate.
"Although this July, with its average
temperature of 66.4 degrees was the cool
est July since 1880 when the average was
65 degrees, there were two years, 1914
and 1916, when the average fell nearly
to 66.8,' DR.. Bjerkness points out. "Ac-
tually since 1916 we have had fewer
drops to low temperatures in the summer
than in the previous 80 years
SO, don't sell your air cooler, put the
old straw hat in the closet for another
year. and leave the salt tablets in the
medicine closet. This is a pretty holy
community, but not holy enough to be eX
cused altogether from an occasional heat

ART GALLERY AT WAR
(Riverside Daily PreSs)

The wartime activities of the Tate Gal
lery in London, one of the best museums
in Europe. give proof not only of British
indomitability but of the strength and I'M
pOrtance of art in mans life.
AS art tranScendS time. so 1t appears
to be bigger than war and the horrors
of war 1t makes the difference between
man and beast: man is creative, the ami
nal is not. Therefore it is not surprising
to see men turning to art for assurance
in a war period. The Tate Gallery has met
this tendency with remarkable initiative.
Forced in 1889 to evacuate its fine col
lection of English and modern foreign
paintings to the country, and to run its
sculpture underground. the gallery did
not cease to function as museum. 1t
continued to buy pictures as usual at i'm
provised headquarters near London. 1t
received larger than peacetime gifts
from private owners anxious to preserve
their treasures from the dangers of war.
When the bombs of 1910 made the gal
lery useless as show place the trustees
held an exhibition of their wartime ac-
ouisitions at rooms in the National Gal
lery at Trafalgar Square. About 10000
people looked at these paintings in two
months Then the trustees circulated the
paintings that could best travel among
the smaller museums in England and
Scotland for the benefit of the whole
nation

LET'S STUDY BOTH SIDES
OF CAMPAIGN ISSUES

AS the Noember election approaches.
and as many people still are in doubt as to
how they should cast their presidential
ballot, il would be wise, indeed, to listen
to argument and evidence of both presi-
Dental candidates.
After all. even those who consider their
minds made up and who deem their con-
cluSionS infallable, also would do well to
weigh and study the comments of both
Mr.. Dewey and Mr.. Roosevelt. If we are
satisfied to be one-sided and biased, then
we should disregard policy of intelli-
gently considering both sides of A case
but if we wish to be modern and unbiased,
to disregard personal animOsities or dis
likes. to weigh each case upon its own
merits rather than upon acquired preJu-
dice. then we should be dOubly sure to
consider both sides of the political queS-
ton before we take that decisive step OF
casting our ballot
In order to arrive at tair decisions. 1t
has long been considered the most etfec-
tive means to present disputed issues be-
fore a Jury of II men or women. In this
manner, it is reasoned that both sides OF
a case may be presented fully. and every
Juror given opportunity to weigh all evil
dence.
If this device is correct in juriS-
prudence, then it also should be correct
in elections. and for this reason each voter
should listen to both sides of argument.
whether his mind is or is not made up
already.
1t is. however, one of the human frail-
ties to listen and cheer Justify the one
candidate which a voter favOrs, and COM
pletely disregard the reasoning of the
other. Persisted in, such policy would
mean that this country is ruled more by
prejudice than carefully weighed public
opinion.
Let's not vote out of prejudice; let's
all vote in accord with studied reason,
after considering both sides of the issue.

SHUTTLE STATISTICS

One of the favorite indoor sports
try to figure how much production
will be required after the war to
keep people busy. If these same
statisticians would ask the larger
industries Cf the United States,
they might be surprised, for | know
one manufacturing city in the mid
die west where the chamber of COM
merce made a survey and found
that every man now employed in
war industry in that community
could Immediately be employed in
postwar peacetimc industries and
the community would still need
more men. The favorite statistical
estimate is that the United States
must make and abSCrb an output
of peacetime goods two-thirds or
three fourths larger than the 1885,

want employment are to have it

STILL NO TIRES
In spite of all the nice articles the
newspapers are printing about syn
thetic rubber, and how well we are
getting along, we still are short Of
large sizes of tires. These include
the three big tires used on trucks
and en- busses and the very big sizes
used on the planes. The stockpile of
raw rubber, which started at per-
haps 10000 tons or more, is now
less than a quarter of that amount.
This is why some of us are pushing
the guayule program to harvest the
10000 acres already planted and
growing, somn of it fer more thcn
