of this fire hydrant which was taken over by a swarm of bees. Bee experts
say the bees crossed the Detroit river from the Canadian side and de
cided that the fire plat would be a good spot to rest. Two Detroit police
men are shown trying to get the bees to move away from the hydrant.

Exercises
for Asthma
By
DR. JAMES W. BARTON
? Bell Syndicate.? WNU Service.
FROM time to time we read r
about new drugs to shorten
an attack of asthma. Formerly
breathing in from a handker
chief on which three drops of
amyl nitrate had been poured,
or the use of a solution of nitro
glycerin, 1 drop, was the usual
treatment. More recently, the
hypodermic injection of 15
drops of adrenalin or epene
phrine is more generally used.
The tendency to asthma is inher
ited in a great many cases. It is
Dr. Barton
now believed that
allergy ? being sen
sitive to various
substances ? is the
cause of nearly one
hall of all the cases
of asthma. These
substances are (a)
wheat, oats, corn,
rye, rice, peas, po
tatoes, beans, nuts,
eggs, meat, milk,
fish, oysters, lob
sters, crabs, beef,
chicken; (b) sub
stances in the air from horses,
cats, cows, dogs, rabbits, guinea
pigs, chickens and geese (feather
pillows); (c) pollens such as rag
weed and timothy; (d) certain
drugs, sachets and perfumes.
Other causes, not allergic, are
chronic bronchitis ; disturbances of
stomach, liver and intestine, heart
and kidney ailments.
Breathing Exercises.
Although the treatment depends
upon the cause and the above meth
ods of relieving an attack are ef
fective, the Asthma Research coun
cil of Great Britain, which super
vises research work in asthma at
four large London hospitals, strong
ly advises all asthmatics to practise
breathing exercises which not only
help to bring the barrel-shaped
asthmatic chest back to normal, but
also help to prevent asthmatic at
tacks.
The exercises consist in breathing
air in gently and in small amounts,
and breathing the air out with all
the force possible.
"In an asthmatic attack the small
air tubes become smaller in size
as a result of spasm of their muscu
lar coat, and their lining manufac
tures a tough mucous. In breath
ing in these little air tubes are pulled
open and there is of course less ob
struction."
The object of these exercises,
which consist in breathing in gently
and breathing out "hard and long,"
is to empty the lungs. The asthmat
ic lungs already contain too much
air.
When Child Is Feverish.
One of the natural mistakes
mothers make when a youngster
has a little rise in temperature is to
give some fever reducing remedy,
when, as a matter of fact, the body's
temperature has been raised in or
der to fight off the ailment or in
fection. Of course, if the tempera
ture is unduly high, it should be
reduced.
Dr. Joseph K. Calvin, Chicago, in
the Chicago Medical Society Bulle
tin, states:
"If the fever produces restless
ness, loss of appetite and other
symptoms, or reaches 104 degrees
Fahrenheit, measures to reduce it
should be made. A rapid tub bath
in lukewarm water is much better
than sponging, with far less expo
sure to the child. Wet, tepid, flan
nel packs or jackets about the body,
or wet sheet packs including arms
and legs are good fever reducers,
if kept wet with tepid or cool water.
Such packs can be left on until the
desired reduction of temperature is
obtained. If a convulsion occurs,
relaxation can usually be secured
in a tepid, not hot, tub bath, fol
lowed by a wet pack and an ice
bag to the head."
There are two or three other sug
gestions by Dr. Calvin that should
prove of great help to mothers, wor
ried about the youngster's fever.
First, the youngster should be
kept in bed during the fever. There
is always the chance that some
childhood infection is present and
the youngster's heart reserve must
be maintained.
As the youngster has lost his ap
petite, starch foods that he likes
and plenty of liquids should be
given. The foods will keep up his
strength and the liquids will help
rid the system of poisons and wastes
by way of the kidneys.
"A daily movement of the bowels
is desirable and this can be accom
plished by a mild laxative such as
milk of magnesia, an enema, or a
suppository, often depending on the
mother's and the child's preference.
Seldom, if ever, does a children's
specialist use castor oil, calomel, or
salts. An enema every other day
during an acute illness is enough
as there is not much waste to be
removed."
White Reflects Light
A good white paint will reflect
from 82 per cent to 89 per cent of the
light striking it, while a dense black
will reflect only about 2 per cent,
and intermediate shades range be
tween these figures.
