It doesn't make any difference whether yen swim ia a private pool, a park, river, pond lake or tea it does the trick. The summer sun, in seeming retaliation, shows its resentment on LANGE By CLIFF Union. Westcra Released by Newspaper Don't let the heat get you down!

Don't let it keep you from sleeping and getting that 60 bine this with the basic aid of for getting the temperature, and you'll be well on the way to whipping those blues." red hot, True, you can't do much about lowering the sizzling temperature. You can do a number of things to help keep yourself cool as you go through your daily routine. For instance, the first thing to remember to do is to "dress cool." Don't wear heavy, tight fitting clothing. Clothing has been devised from the time when animal pelts were the style both for man, woman and grown-u- p children as a protection from the elements whether sun, rain, snow, sleet or biting wind. Don't use. winter style of dressing for the summertime. Shed some of those clothes! Too ladies who are handy with the scissors, needle and thread can whip together some dandy summer work, play or "visiting" dresses easily enough these days. There is still plenty of dress material to be had. Heady-mad- e dresses are also plentiful, and reasonably priced, too. Take a look at your favorite store. You'll see both plenty of dresses, and material to make them. There is no reason, either, why the men, young and old, shouldn't be dressed to combat the heat. Many men, when asked why they are dressed so "hot" in the summertime, usually give an answer which 6eems to suggest they "hadn't thought about it" or "were too busy" to do anything about it. Meanwhile they continue working with the sweat rolling down their temples. Men are slow in changing to new, even a more comfortable style of 'clothing. Those that aren't so conservative aren't getting shoved around by the heat this year like their more backward brethren are. They were more willing I.e., the married men, the fathers to see their daughters going around in shorts, rather than themselves. When really it was the men, not the women that needed them I Maybe, when shortages in cloth, dress goods begins to appear, which it hasn't, as yet, it will be the usual thing for the men to be wearing them. What difference does it make whether they are worn driving "mid-summ- er the tractor, working in a factory, or rolling a truck down the highway. Like clothing, food in the summer time has much to do about keeping one from being knocked out, figura tively or actually. Don't eat so much "heavy" food even though yoo do have to eat plenty of food, either because of your job, or your nature. "Eat but little, but often" holds more true for summertime than any time of the year. That "little, but often" holds for the light foods which you see advertised in your grocery, meat shop, fruit store and delicatessen. In the summertime is when "acid conditions" get you quicker than any other season. It is such a condition which affects you both in your ability to work, and capabilities of And this is an ice cream cone. It could be vanilla, peach, lemon, or perhaps pineapple.

Perhaps it is just a spirit of contemplation which has overcome him lifted him above all mortals, away from mundane thoughts. Or is it? enjoying your activities during the heat of the day. Check up on yourself. See how much of the food you are eating is "acid" producing If you aren't sure, ask your doctor. He'll be able to tell you without much ado. A trip straight to the druggist from his office in case he has prescribed for you either to counteract an acid condition, or prevent one, is then in order. If you haven't noticed already, at the druggists you'll see many preparations to prevent, allay, or stop the personal outward discomforts due to the heat. Talcum powder, salt tablets, soaps, sunburn salves and oils-s- uch are just a few of the many articles available which are almost a necessity around the home during the torrid time. It is during these hot months when the very youngest, and the oldest suffer the most. Infants, not being able to express their displeasure at being uncomfortable in any other way than their only way, a reasonable crying spell, or a healthy wail, should be closely watched. They should be dressed with a minimum amount of clothing. Either next to nothing, or nothing. The coolest side of the house, or out on the porch, or in the shade beneath the tree is the spot for them. The old folks even though less apt to complain about the heat are more susceptible to it than those The war has created for children many serious problems which American parents and teachers must face, Dr. Clifford E.

Enjoy your swim, but don't take too much of the sun at one time. who complain. They, too, should be made as comfortable as possible. They, loo, are the ones who should be reminded that what they formerly used to do, "just to help out," shouldn't be done in the hot weather. For there is a debilitating effect of the sun quickly noticeable on the aged and weak. One of the pleasures of the summer months are the outdoor picnics, the family reunions, the parties and fishing trips both for the youngsters and the grownups. Although rubber restrictions will cut down on many of the long auto trips on such picnics and outdoor excursions, it won't at least it shouldn't for the ingenious cut down on the outings held in tie nearby woods, or even in the side, or back. It is on such picnics, and excursions that real summer time meals, old style "Dutch Lunches" can be served. Meals having salads, cold cuts, cheeses, lemonade, iced-teand other fruit juice drinks. The little extra equipment needed for such meals that break the monotony of eating indoors all the time is available at any of the local retail stores. It used to be during the not far past days that it was thought necessary to travel 15 to 50 miles to a favorite picnic spot. There there would be the steak fry on the fire pits, or the weiner roast. Today, with plenty of room available, alongside or behind the house, or in the field or woods near home, there is no reason why similar "picnic" equipment isn't available. The war hasn't stopped, in fact, couldn't stop, American ingenuity. Many times, too, in the desire to cool off there were long trips to distant pools, or "favorite" spots on lakes and rivers. Today, when rationing has stopped that there is no reason why the shower equipment at home shouldn't be given an extra workout. You know, just because it used to be only the kids who had a good time with the outdoor shower is no reason why you couldn't enjoy one, too. Of course if you dislike the idea of imitating the kids and en joying the whirling spray, why not rig up an outfit for you and the rest of the older persons. Such an outfit could be dropped from one of the trees in the yard, or attached to a post used for the washhne. This war has brought the people of the nation more closely together than at any time since the advent of the automobile. This year there'll be more local entertaining, visiting, and genuine social life than ever before. Common sense will take care of most of the heat's oppressiveness. That which can't be taken care of should be treated as a matter of fact. A matter of, "Well, this is the summertime. It should be hot. This summer has seen, and will continue seeing until the days cool off, plenty of local picnics in which various successful means to com bat the heat have been achieved. You can do more about taking care of the heat by actually doing something to counteract the effects of it. Talking about the weather, about "how hot it is" isn't doing you any good, nor the person saying iced-coffe- e, predicting bejome very unpleasant surprises fore another month of fighting on the Russian front. So much has been said about Adolf Hitler's various secret weap ons, from time to time, that it is a relief to be able to state, on absolute knowledge, that the Russians will be trying out a secret weapon against Hitler. More than this cannot be said, nor can any inkling of the nature Df the "surprise" be given, but men who know their military tactics and their weapons, and know as much about German weapons and as anyone outside Germany itself, predict confidently that Hitler's generals will have to revise their entire strategy as a result. This secret weapon, they think, is apt to prove as revolutionary in this war as the Merrimac and Monitor proved in the Civil war, though of course the new weapon applies to land fighting. At first blush 4t might seem a great deal more encouraging if the new weapon were a sure cure for the submarine, for it is the battle of the Atlantic that is so all important. r, Some experts point out, that while the submarine menace to shipping is the vital factor right now, so far as the news is concerned, the new weapon, which, by the time it gets into wholesale operation, will not only hold the Germans, but drive them back, may prove to be more timely than if it were what now seems so much more immediately necessary a submarine cure. tech-aiqu- e ' RAZOR BLADRg NEWS bow-eve- Harmful to the Nazis The theory of the experts on this is that for the present, and for perhaps another year, the submarine in the Pacific is more important to us than to Japan. So that if a perfect cure for the submarine were devised, and the Japs were able to imitate it, the result might be to impede our mopping up of Japan rather than to aid it. Experts believe that once the new weapon which is so confidently expected to aid Russia becomes known as soon as it is used half a dozen times the Germans will know precisely what it is, they will be able to imitate it without much trouble. But this factor is not a3 impor tant as it sounds. The net result, if BOTH SIDES had the weapon in quantity today, would be enormously harmful to Germany. It would neutralize what at present is a very real superiority on the part of the German armies.

Then 38 years old, Houdry had been at work in his native country over a period of years on a method for the catalytic cracking of oil by which the crude is converted into vapors at lower temperatures and pressures than had hitherto been used. These vapors, then, are brought into contact with a catalyst and are condensed into their various derivatives in proportions which can be controlled in the operation. In the midst of these researches in France having already invented a process for obtaining octane gasoline vital to aviation his money ran out. He could get no more and seeking practical encouragement in the United States,' he migrated hither and found two great, oil companies eager to finance his laboratory. Some $10,000,000 was paid out in perfecting Houdry's process and in devising and making apparatus for its use on a large commercial scale. Now Eugene Houdry is cited as having succeeded in applying his catalytic cracking process to the commercial production of butadiene something for which an eager public has been waiting since war bugan and our supply of rubber was cut off. For butadiene is the main ingredient of a very fine brand of synthetic rubber. Consequently, if all is well with the Houdry process, the present shortage in an essential commodity may be overcome much sooner than had been hoped. In such case a currently dreaded event will be postponed, if not for ever averted the requisition of your tires by the government. Immersed since his arrival in this country in scientific research Mr. Houdry, now a naturalized citizen, found time after the fall of France to help organize here that aeeres- sively militant organization.
