D. QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York CU.R) The inside of a cucumber is two degrees cooler than the outside, the vi cinity of a bus exhaust is a hot ter place than the vicinity of a tailor shop's steam press, and tne hinges of Hellgate are not so torrid as you might expect. These facts, and others equal ly valuable, emerged from a survey of this steaming city made bv a rerjorter equipped with a precision electric ther mometer. The thermometer, furnished by the Minneapolis-Honeywell Co., was used to check tempera tures that seemed to need check ing. It was the type usually used by field engineers to check instruments; it gets the true reading by touching the end of a wire to the surface being checked. Thus, vou can check the in side of a Doliceman's shoe while his foot is still in it, find whether a man is truly hot under the collar, and thrust it into the mid dle of a cucumber. The reporter and a skilled op erator of the temperature gadget," G. L. Eberly of PhUactei Dhia. went first the other day to the turbine and boiler room of a big power plant, then into an air conditioned restaurant for lunch, to Hellgate Bridge (for 1 door hinges), to the East river i for swimmers, and onto the streets of Manhattan. The air temperature was 93, the wind brisk, the sky overcast so that there was little direct sunlight. You mieht want to tack the following jotted list to the wall for ready reference in hot-weath er arguments. All temperatures are in degrees fahrenheit and are subject to change without notice: Air in vicinity of turbine op erator, 112. Inside of shoe of turbine op erator, 102.

There are some obvious con clusions to be drawn. One is to beware of surrounding yourself that it might be wise for bald- headed men to wear hats or carry parasols KeeD a cool head, men. The figures show the. hot-foot situa tion these days is really nothing to get steamed up about. 3 Actor Denounces -Subcommittee Probe eo New York (U.R) Lou Polan, S3 fhe rugged sheriff of the Broad S5 5vay bit play "Bus stop," yester v rAnv throw a House Un-American Subcommittee hear ing into turmoil with a shoutea rAniinriation of its investiga- fthn nf fnmmnnism in the 1 1 W 1 1 thpnter.

But this would be up to her sister, Queen Eliza beth II. Theoretically she could re nounce these rights wnnout a change in the Royal Marriage Act. But a change could take care of any possible parliamen tary objection to her action. As We Live Adopted Child Entitled To Both Parents' Love Any child, whether adopted or of its parents' flesh and blood, has a right to expect the love of both parents; (Q) "I was deeply touched by your advice in a recent article about adopting a baby. We adopted one two'years ago. My husband, like the man in ' your -column, was not (Statement of protest. fire Fighters Mop Up Blaze Near Happy Camp Yreka, sCalif. . (U.R) About 100 men yesterday were mop ping up a forest fire near Happy Camp, Calif., which burned over 600 acres of Douglas fir timber during the week end. One man, Vernon Keller, a Happy Camp logger, suffered a broken shoulder during the blaze when heavy equipment knocked over a tree which fell on him. He was taken to a Medf ord, Ore., hospital. anxious to adopt a baby but he agreed to do so to nlease me. Dr. Herlock The doctor told me I would never have a child after I had a miscarriage, and I feel that life is not com plete without children. We adop ted a little boy and I love him very dearly. He is nearly two and a half now, and, like all children his age, is into everything and sometimes gels very balky. "My husband has never shown much interest in him and seems rather to resent having to stay at home on account of him, pay doctor bills, etc. Recently, he has been very impatient with the boy and tells me he wonders if the child is normal, if the Dad blood is coming out,' etc. Of course we know nothing about his parents, but he seems like a Derfectlv normal child to me. As the boy gets older, unless my husband changes his attitude, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. It shows, as you point ed out, that it is unwise to adopt a child unless both parents really want to. I am finding this out daily." (A) Yes" it is unwise and un fair to a child to bring him into a home where he is not 100 per cent wanted. There are so many people waiting to adopt a child that it seems terribly unfair to put a child into a home where only one parent wants him. However, in this case it is too late to send the child back to be placed in a family where he would be more welcome. There fore, it is up to his parents to see that their home offers the child what he, as their child is entitled to. By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. I think it would be wise to consult a guidance counselor. Have the child tested to con vince his father that he is per fectly normal. The counselor could point out to your husband how unfair he is to the child and to himself. (COPYRIGHT 1955, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)
