"Frost-bite. Put some snow on it,"
Early educations are very diff
cult to overcome, and | had as
much Of that particular variety as
anybody, but | must confess it
never appealed to me as very good
common sense. And ! am grateful
to know from the most modern
surgeons that it is now actually
frowned on. Snow is likely TO be
gritty and anyway to have harsh
spicules of frozen particles in it
and the skin after frost bite is
very liable TO injury on account Of
its lifelessness and the snow treat
ment tends to bruise it and open
up cuts which are liable to infec-
ton, and bring on complications
which make for a prolonged recov-
cry.
Frostbite, like chilblains, affects
fundamentally the blood vessels of
the skin. The reaction Of the mi
mute blood vessels of the skin TO
cold is first to contract, and then
TO react with a compensatory dill
atation. This you can see in the
faces Of those coming inside on a
cold winter day. They are as
flushed as if they had been in the
sun.
The blood vessels have to dilate
to keep the tissues alive-"to keep
the circulation going"-so even if
the skin is cold to the touch the
cheeks are flushed. But prolonged
exposure to cold wears this COM
pensatory mechanism out and the
blood vessels of the skin cease to
react and go dead on you. There is
no bounce left in them and then
frostbite sets in.
Frostbite is not very common in
our age and country Of modern
conveniences, where few people
are exposed for any length Of time
on cold days. For certain occupa-
tons, however, it is still a hazard.
How cold must it be before
frostbite is possible? This question
has been statistically answered
when a study of frostbite was
made among the employees of the
street cleaning department of
New York City. In an average
winter there were 3ss cases Of
frostbite. When the temperature
gets below 8 degrees Fahrenheit,
irregardless of wind or humidity,
frostbite becomes common. Be-
tween 8 and II degrees Fahrenheit
it is common only if there is a high
wind. And above "a degrees Fab
renheit no matter whether wind
and humidity are unfavorable it
almost never occurs.

10 a call from Dr. Ch.yery, local
med;co. To Sarah's surprise, Anna
Haub. the Brent maid, Stares at
Drue in frightened recognition and
pleads with her not 10 remain.
That, coupled with D-ue's unusual
anxiety about the condition OF
their patient, Craig Brent, was the
first indication Sarah had that her
attractive young friend was ae-
quainted with the Breats. Anna re-
luctantly takes them to Craig,s
room and explains that Craig, vic
tim of a mysterious bullet, was
found in the garden the previous
right by Beevens, the butler. Mr..
Nicky," and Peter Huber, an old
school friend of Craig, adding,
They said il was an accident-he
was cleaning a gun" She again
begs Drue to leave before Conrad

her presence. They are studying
their unconscious patients chart.
Sarah is telling the story.

not necessarily fatal. The bullet
had catered his shoulder; they had
got it out, without benefit of x-ray

been a fairly ticklish task.

weighing my patients chances.
Drue said whispering, will he
live ?"
II hope so. I'll take night watch.
She put her hands on my arm and,
with pleading in her eyes, said, Let
me take it. I'll call you if anything
goes wrong"
"All right. I'll sleep with one eye
open. There's really nothing we can
do now except watch his pulse and
his breathing. If he takes a bad
turn :" l stopped. In 4at case
there would be plenty to ddSnd that

him. please, while get into my
uniform"
Anna nodded and / turned into
the bedroom as woman entered the
room and stood beside the bed, lean
ing over the unconscious man; then
she placed one white pointed hand
upon his forehead.
Well, of course that particular
gesture has much the same effect
upon me that a red flag is said TO
have upon a bull. Soothing the
fevered brow is a peculiarly revolt
ing idea of nursing.
So | said in a low but perfectly
clear voice, an have to ask youmot

woman looked up, coolly, at me.
"Oh," she said. "You're the nurse"
She was a young woman Of about
medium height and beautiful; she
had a pointed, delicate face, Sent
der, fine nose, and a small yet deeply
curved mouth with full underlip
which looked. oddly, both sensitive
and cruel. Her hair was misty,
dark cloud, very short, so it nodded
her small, fine head in way that
made me think Of Greek statue
of a boy. She reminded me then
and always Of a medieval portrait
beside a Greek statue, which sounds
confusing, but may have been a
slight indication of our Alexias
rather remarkable versatility.
There was the same fragile
beauty and the lurking comprehen-
sion of cruelty that one catches a
faint chilling glimpse Of below the
beauty and satins and pearls Of an
cient portraits. Italian, | should say

BELL BEATEN BY LAMOTTA,
 BUT PLEASES

New York, July 7-(UP)--Jacob Lamotta, rugged Bronx middle weight, won a unanimous 1O-roun6 decicion over Tommy Bell, rangy young Ohio Negro welterweight, in Bells first New York appearances before 8,708 fans at Madison Square Garden last night.
 Bells Metropolitan debut was spoiled by this defeat; but he put up such a fight that the fans booed the decision for five minutes and he made such a favorable impression that he will be used often at the Garden in the future.
 Bell spotted LaMotta 12 pounds in weight, and this poundage disad- vantage led to his undoing. Fighting at blistering pace against this superior weight, slender, long-armed Bell tired in the closing minute of several rounds. And when Bell tired, squat LaMotta came on with a bar rage of combination blows to body and head to take the rounds. The United Press scored five rounds for LaMotta, three for Bell and two even. This agreed with the verdict of the three ring officials LaMotta out-weighed Bell, 161 pounds to 149.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Home Runs
Case Leading Base Thieves
By CORNELIUS RYAN

New York, July 7.-UP)-Tommy Holmes of the Boston Braves moved into a virtual monopoly of major league batting honors during the week, leading in batting percentage, hits. runs batted in, runs, and doubles.
 Through Fridays games, the 27- year-od Brooklyn-born right fielder was hitting .407 on 122 hits in 300 times at bat in T games. He scored 73 runs, batted in 67 runs and made 24-two base hits. His 13 home runs are second only to Ernie Lombardi's IA. He had hit safely in 34 straight games-a new Ma tional league record-through Fri day.
 He was 40 percentage points ahead of Second-place Phil Cavarretta of the Chicago Cubs and Il points ahead of the American league bat ting leader, George Case of Wash ington. He had 27 more hits than Goody Rosen of Brooklyn, his near est competitor in that department, and had scored IA more runs than Augie Galan of Brooklyn, who was second in that division.
 The surprising weakness of Amer ican league hitting-which since the days of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig down through the reign of Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams has overshadowed the National-was shown by the fact that only the first four hitters in the loop were over 300. Nick Etten of New York was in fifth place with .296.
 In return, the junior loop was taking the Nationals place as the league of pitchers" Dave Ferriss of Boston has won 13 and lost two. Morton Cooper of St. Louis and Soston leads the Nationals with a eeven-a -and-one mark. The depart ment leaders:
 Batting-(N Holmes, 407; (A) Case, Washington, 336.

HOLMES LEADS . TWO LOOPS IN
 5 DEP APARTMENTS
BY CARL LUNDQUIsT

New York, July -UP)- A full-fledged boom was un- derway today for Tommy Holmes of the Braves to win the National Leagues most valuable player award.
 Holmes brought the mat ter to the attention of all concerned yes t e r lay by breaking Rogers Hornsby's 23-year-old National League consecutive game hitting mark, running his string to 34 games.
 That was a specific achievement that will go down in the books, but what is more important is the fact that he has been the batting spark plug of the Braves all season, and that at present he is leading both leagues in five of the most import ant departments of the game.
 He is far in front in hitting with a .407 mark, he has the most hits, 122; the most runs, 73; the most runs batted in, 66; and the most two base hits, 24, all tops for both leagues.
 It isn't likely that the sixth place Braves will win the pennant. That puts two strikes on Holmes since the award usually goes to star on the flag club, but that doesn't bother him. He usually has two strikes on him when he makes his hits.
 Pirates Humbled Twice
 Yesterday was his biggest day in the majors. Hitting double his first time up in each game, he led the Braves to IA to and 13 to 5 victories over the Pirates. In the opener he hit homer, double and single to drive in two runs and in the afterpiece he hit three straight doubles to drive in four more, round- ing out the day by scoring two runs in each game Elmer (Butch) Nie- man hit a grand slam homer to highlight Six-run rally in the opener while seven-run second in- ming sewed up the night cap. Don Hendrickson won his first game since coming up from Milwaukee in the opener and Nate Andrews picked Up an easy win in the second.
 The reign of the league leading Dodgers was threatened at Brook lyn when the Cards pounded out a IS to 3 victory to cut the margin to one game over the second place Cubs. First baseman Ray Sanders pacing the 19-hit Card attack with double and three singles.
 The Cubs fattened up at Ph:la- delphia with II to and to wins ever the Phillies, making IT hits in the opener and Is in the second. Ray Prim's sterling relief pitching gave him the first game victory while Paul Derringer went the route on a five hitter to win the second. The double victories ran Chicago's winning streak to seven straight.
 The Reds, working on come back, beat the Giants at New York, 3 to 2, as Howard Fox outpitched Van Lingle Mungo. Ernie Lombardi hit his 14th homer to take the Ma jor League lead again for the Giants.
