f EVIEWING the | y JOHN M. G LJ EWS The wit and wisdom of J. M. G., the creator and regular conductor of this column, will not be found herein today. That facile finding himself in need of and fecund young fellow, complete relaxation after a strenuous afternoon at the beach and 'an evening spent in sampling sunburn lotions; has-turned-his- department over to me with an invitation to \have a good time with it.\ So, for whatever benefit it might be to readers whose day would not be complete without their Review- ing the News, I shall try my hand at it-and don't say you weren't warned. If that wil suffice by way of apology and explanation, let us see what we can talk about. Take the weather, for one thing. x Four months ago-that would be February - when the mercury was | down under zero and the highways | were blocked with snow, I vowed y that -this for once, I | wouldn't complain _gbout hot | weather, not even if the thermometer hit .100 in the shade, Vet, such 'is human nature, here I am, moshing and groaning because the tempera- ture is comparable to that of Hades.

Q rating than the boys. The good old summer time shows us men a lot about the fair sex, in- cluding their superior sense in, the matter of wearing apparel. Consider their filmsy frocks, without any col- lars ot'sleeves 'and thin enough to | admit whatever breeze there may be, and compare them to the heavy harness we sterner sex swelter in. If that doesn't prove something, I hope to be a fashion plate in a nudist colony.

What I mean is, we men ought to flout convention and blossom forth with very abbreviated costumes during the heated term of the year, Making the rounds of the town as selves yesterday, I met only one man who looked: cool and comfortablein a complete sartorial get-up-and that was none other than Mayor W. Tay» lor Chamberlin of Hempstead, whose starched collar defied the humidity to warp it. But not dll of us can be Mayor Chamberlin or . John Christys, and so I propose a spe- cific summer outfit for men, some- thing cool, neat and not gaudy. Briefly-and the briefer the better -The garb I have in mind is this: A polo shirt with an open weave, & pair of shorts that reach about half way to the knees, socks that stop at the ankle and sandals.

Inpreparation for his 6-year term In the presidency, which he expects, to assume December 1, Cardenas has served as governor of the state of. Michocan, president of.the P. N.

Note: For the benefit of the publishers and from the experience of many years of publicity work, we would suggest that the title of this volume be changed to \Lurking Pit- falls of Sin.\ (Motion picture rights reserved.) ' Within this alim, blue peper- covered pamphlet is contaified as startling a compendium of the fruits of evil as might startle any solid citizen Into sleepless nights of night- marish tossing. In it there are listed many: of the sins of a falling mankind, and, what is worse for the ease of erring humankind, the results. to be expected from sinning. For.instance, when the cellophane wrapper is broken and: the alim white tube of a cigarette is placed between the lips, what a storehouse of hellish-poisons is released to make their way through the fragile au- man. structure, paralyzing, drugging and destroying. For, be it known, this hateful weed releases carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nicotine, ammonia and furfurol. And further, if this has not proved vith his revelations. He writes: In the case of nicotine, less than 5 grainc have been suffi- clently powerful. to produce marked symptoms of poisoning in individuals. Carbon monoxide (found in tobacco smoke) is sufficient to polson a man when as little as 0.2 por cent. is mixed in air for 4 or 5 hours, or when 0.4 per cent. is Inhaled during one hour. Now that ought to give pause to those inveterate sinners who fur- tively make their way to tobaceo- * nists to purchase the weed which (@n two hours of constant smok- ing) will fill their cringing lungs with the lethal fumes of carbon monoxide, or will drive five grains of nicotine down into a system wholly unprepared for the \marked symptoms-of poisoning\ which must follow- such straying off the prim- rose path.
