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.
Drs. 8haw. Msaer and Weiss showed
that there wan a 48 per cent Increase
In the rat of the carbon dioxide ex
cretion with U onset of cold weath
er and a diminution of 30 ppr cent
( at the onttt of warm weather.
I Tho skin also allows the Inward
passago of oxynen; but, according to
the experimenters, doea not allow
oxyn iiwlde the body to pass out-
Cabbage demand was also favorable

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

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.

and Toll Co. was delayed, but bo far
learned, stock exchange officials
took no action to restrict trading in
Kreuger Issues.
