had walked up soon after her father
left her because she was hot and
uncomfortable. She cried and
thrashed around and thus got her
self hotter than ever. Finally she
stopped from sheer exhaustion and
collapsed with heat prostration.
Small babies are very suscepti-
BILE TO the dangers of excessive
heat. A baby loses a lot of water
from his skin through perspiration
when the temperature is high. She
becomes damp and uncomfortable
so she cries. What she wants is
a drink of water. IL no one comes
she cries lounder and filings her
arms and legs about.
The crying really makes matters
worse because more water is lost
through mouth and lungs and the
need for that drink gets greater
and greater If still no one comes
the baby soon loses so much wa
ter and becomes so exhausted that
she collapses.

TEX" Johnston test pilot of the Boeing TOT jet

conner in luxury transportation
1T climbs twice as fast as conventional aircraft
makes only the same amount of noise as the
DEG without noise suppressors :. will be quieter

suppreSsors sleeper rates of climb and descent
