clothes,” says Dr. King “Always wear porous cloth; that is, cloth so loosely woven that you can blow air through it. The skin needs air; no clothes should be tight.” ’’The best way to catch cold and pneumonia is to become chilled," says Dr. King. “The blood vessels, ujiun being exposed to cold, contract and restrict circulation of the blood near the surface of the skin. This restriction prevents the throwing off of bodily poisons through the pores. These poisons reduce the normal resistance of the body to a point where any old germ, be it pneumonia, diphtheria, or influenza, can have a merry time getting you started for a long siege in bed. The germs ate always present. It depends on your bodily resistance to disease whether or not they will have an opportunity to develop. Don’t Overheat Body “Wearing heavy underwear in a warm room causes the body to overheat and to perspire 100 freely. Wet surfaces when exposed to cold adopt this cold more quickly than dry surfaces. Put your hand in water and hold it over the warm air register, it feels cool. Imagine what is going on then when the body perspires and is exposed to cold. The blood vessels constrict doubly quick and a cold is not long in coming on. “Put on plenty of clothes when going outdoors, instead of clothing tlie body in thick, heavy undergarments that induce perspiration. Ten years ago silk stockings and athletic underwear in the dead of winter were unheard of. Today they are the usual thing and are beneficial if the wearer will clothe himself warmly upon going outdoors. The bodily moisture, which must escape, passes off easily through light garments, but not. through ‘heavies.’ ” POLICE CAPTURE ESCAPED SLAYER Baltimore Fugitive Charged With $35,000 Robbery, By United Pres* CHICAGO, Dec. 20. —Jack Connolly, who made a daring escape from the Baltimore penitentiary, where he was serving from fifteen years to life for a murder in Baltimore, will be taken hark today unless something unexpected intervenes, State’s Attorney Crowe de,dared todnv.

NEW SNARL SEEN IN KENTUCKY AVE. BRIDGE TROUBLE County Councilmen Say They Will Not Approve Bonds Again, Anew snarl in the Kentucky Ave. White River bridge bond tangle arose today when County Auditor Harry Dunn announced President Cassius L. Hogle and Samuel M Montgomery of county council had served notice the council will not pass another ordinance for the $750,000 bond issue. Money is for the county’s share of the bridge and adjoining flood pre vention work, which the city is carrying on Councilmen say the city’s flood prevention program is more costly than necessary. Twice the council has* authorized the bonds, only to discover that technicalities prevented stile. Council meets on the matter Jan. 12. Board of Works Informed. Dunn and County Attorney Russell Ryan took th>- bridge tangle before tite board of works late Friday. Dunn said he hoped the matter would he straightened out before the council meets. Several days ago, when it was learned the county bonds could not 1,-- sold the city, upon assurance that the county would gets its new issue sold early in February, agreed to continue work under way and pay for it in anticipation of reimbursement by the county. Object to Land Price The auditor said the councilmen are balking on the issue now because the city’s program calls for such expenditures as $10,090 for ac- ! quisition of one and forty-one hundredths acres of land from the Cres- | ,-ent Packing Company. Part of this l iies in White River. The price was that fixed by a i committee of the Indianapolis Rea! Estate Board, it is said. The rom- . rnittee said the price is fair, since | there is gravel deposit in the tract | and the owners asked $145,000. Possibility of a further complication was seen in a threat of Merle N. A. Walker, attorney for persons whose property the city seeks in the flood prevention program, to seek to mandate county council to 1 authorize the bond issue as origj inally planned.
