SALVAGE JOB

MILWAUKEE, Wis. up =
Salvaging an ocean-going ship sunk
in 20 feet of Lake Michigan water
will be undertaken this summer by
Max Gene Nohl, professional deep
sea diver. If he succeeds, he can
make a fortune; If he fails, it won t
cost him a dime.
The prize is the Dutch Oranje

which sank off Milwaukee last Oc-
tober IA.
The 2S5 foot motorship was val
ued by insurers at S1,250,000. The

lem was carrying was valued al
S750,000. Nohl has contract with

Nohl will be paid $4,000 for the
job. The title of the ship was turn
ed over to him by the engineers
Nohl said he plans to raise the
Willem by sealing the four matches
with special covers; then pumping
air into the vessel until it becomes
buoyant.
Under the contract he has 1SC
days to salvage or destroy the Will
/ lem.

Charm Tips To
Beat The Heat

Keep cool even if you are the
aCsive type. The lettuce-leaf loos
is the one to strive for in summer
and you can do it even if you play
is holes of golf or two sets ol
tennis each day.
The trick is to dress for the
part you are playing, whether II
is slipping lemonade on country
club porch or playing croquet.
Weak spots in summer are brow
hands, underarms and feet. That's
where perspiration will appear to
spoil your charm. You should be
equipped for the emergency sc
that. you can foil that hot look and
beads of perspiration.
Good cooling lotions and skin
fresheners cool face and brow.
Apply them before your foundation
cream and powder. Wear an eye
shade to keep looking pretty while
you foil the suns hot rays.
DeDdorant tales are good TO
have right at your tennis court or
carried in the golf bag for frequent
sprinkling on hands and up and
under the arms.
When you've finished playing
the game, whatever it is take off
your play shoes if they are soft
soled. Sneakers, for instance, en-
courage moisture to collect on the
feet and prevents it from evapor-
ating. It is good idea to kick
them off at the end of game
of tennis. That goes for other play
shoes too.
Powder your feet with deodorant
tale, change your socks and put
on your leather shoes, which per-
mits a change of air due to breath
ing pores. Don't wait until you've
finished that cool drink to change
your socks and shoes.
Outdoor types should walk
around in Darefeet for awhile after
strenuous activity. A romp on the
lawn or a walk on sand will help
relax bones, muscles and tiny
ligaments.
If you have a big. date coming
up the day of an important out
door activity, go home Immediately
after your play session take
warm bath, lie down with your
fet up on a pillow and relax for
at least Is minutes.
Keep fairly quiet and you'll be
cool by the time you put on your
high heels and take off for the
big dance.

In hot weather we all perspire.
The hotter the weather the more
sweat pours out on our skin. The
sweat evaporates and the process
of evaporation cooIs the body. This
is natures way of keeping the body
temperature constant even when
the weather is very hot
II the climate is hot and dry
THAT is, the humidity is low the
sweat evaporates quickly so
quickly that you may not even feel
damp However, when the humid
ity is high the air is already SO
full of moisture that the sweat evap-
crates slowly. Your skin stays
damp and you feel uncomfortable
because your body isn't cooled by
the evaporation of the sweat.
The hotter it is, the more you
sweat The sweating means you
are losing water through your
skin. Your body becomes dry on
the inside and you have the urge
to drink.
But sweat isn't just plain water.
Sweat contains lot of salt.
In hot weather the tired cranky
feeling is due to the loss of salt
from your body. If the humidity is

well as irritable. If the climate is
dry you're not sticky and wet with
perspiration, but you get tired and
listless just the same.
If you take extra salt, you Will
feel better.
Just ordinary table salt will do.
A teaspoonful If common salt. three
times a day with a full glass of
water will restore to your body
both the fluid and salt you lose
in perspiration.
It's bit hard to swallow plain
salt. 1t doesn't taste very good.
The salt tablets on the market are
made to taste better than plain salt.
Also most of the salt tablets con-
tain mixture of salts more nearly
like the body salts you lose in

How many salt tablets you need

If you take salt tablets yourself

you get through the very hot spells
