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.
Air inside McCarthy's Steak
Joint on 2nd ave., 76.
Interior of dry martini with
peel), 51.
Beer in glass (with medium
head), 54.
Glass of ice water, 40.
Inside of chicken pot pie, 178.
Coffee, black, 172.
Same coffee, cream and sugar
added (and one sip taken). 145.
Cigarette at lighted end, 300.
Hinges of Hellgate, 101.
Under collar of guard who
chased us off Hellgate Bridge, 94.
Top of baldheaded man's bare
head (when sun came out), 98.
Dry, freshly sunburned shoul
der of redhead. 92.
. Same shoulder when redhead,
emersed from river, 84.
Inside shoes of patrolmen on
Fifth and Park ave., 95.
Vicinity of bus exhaust, 147
Vicinity of steam press (with
pants inside), 125.
Surface of cucumber on stand,
93.
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.

the Sketch said. But this would

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

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

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.

For one who has never heard it, high fidelity offers an electrifying experience. It's like
seeing a technicolor movie for the first time ... or awakening in a world of music where
every instrument has a voice of its own, sounding exactly as it should. This thrilling
effect is achieved only when both records and playing equipment meet high fidelity
standards. But while many record manufacturers produce excellent high fidelity rec
ords, phonographs vary greatly in performance. Now, for the first time since the ad
vent of high fidelity, one manufacturer, RCA Victor, offers a series of superb complete
ly assembled and cabineted high fidelity instruments, each capable of challenging
concert hall realism. The magnificent RCA Victor New Orthophonic High Fidelity
"Victrola" phonograph. equipment embodying the most advance principles of sound
. engineering, heralds a renaissance in home reproduction of recorded music.
