When the surrounding air con tains 8 per cent carbon dioxide a stage of equilibrium Is reached where tho gas neither passes In nor out through tho skin. Should the concentration of car bon dioxide In the surrounding air roach a higher percentage carbon uioxjue passes inrougn mo stun irom the air into trie body. When the percentage is less than 8"a carbon dioxide passes out from the body through the skin. These experiments demonstrate that the skin does breathe and may give us a physiological argument against dirty skin. Also they may explain the tonic effect on the skin and' the body of exposure to the air; of exercise' and. of maBsage.

WKIN'-BUKATHIKO That certain animals, notably tho frog, can nnd do breathe through , their skins has been common knowl edge for many years. I But that the human skin permits the passage of the two essential res piratory gases, carbon dioxide and oxygen, Is a comparatively recent ob servation. In 1851 Oerlnch, n German scien tist, demonstrated that the surface of. the skin not only eliminates car bon dloxldo but also absorbs oxygon from-the surrounding air1. Recently it has been found that , carbon dioxide, a waste product In cidental to tho vital activities of nil the body cells,, la excreted by Ihc skin as well as tho lungs, and that the rate of excretion- through the skin depends upon the temperature and the humidity of tho air in con tact with tho skin.

STOCKS GAIN AFTER INITIAL DROP ftEW YORK, Mar. 14 ) Interna tional Match preferred opened on the New York stock exchange today at $11.60 ft share with a sale of 1600 shares, off $6. A substantial decline in Interna tional Match had been, anticipated as result of the suicide of Ivar Kreu- ger, Swedish match king, announced in Peris after the close of Satur day's market. While considerable' selling came In to the rest of the list, the more se vere declines were only $1 to little more than $2. The list stiffened a little after the initial transactions. Allied Chem ical opened at $70.75, off $2.37, then quickly recovered part of its loss.. American Telephone, after opening off 1.25 at $127:26, quickly recov ered about 50 cents. U. S. Steel opened with a- sale of 3000 shares at 945.87, off $1, before tartlng to fecover. other shares of! $1 or so at tho start Included Ameri can Can, Dupont, and Westinghouse. Tho largest block at the opening was 6000 shares of International Tele phone at 99, off 60 cents. Kreuger and Toll Co. holds a block of 400,000 shares of that stock. Wall street had not looked for any marked repercussion from Kreuger's death in this market. It had been expected that in view of his wide-, spread interests, in Europe lb might bring some foreign selling Into this market, but stock exchange houses with European connections reported they had few selling orders. I Tho large plurality polled by Presi dent , Von Hindenburg in the Ger man elections was regarded here as constructive factor tending to off set the unsettling effects of Kreu ger's death. Opening of tho stock of Kreuger and Toll Co. was delayed, but bo far learned, stock exchange officials took no action to restrict trading in Kreuger Issues. In the bond market, the Krouger and Toll 6 per cents opened with a transfer of 50 $1000 per value bonds $360 per bond, off $125. Specialists in Kreuger and Toll stock, or "American, certificates" which closed Saturday at $5 were overwhelmed with selling orders es timated to total about $100,000. BATON ROUGE, La.
