| A HOT BATH generally is conceded to be-a pretty good thing. Sometimes a bath makes a man feel like 2 million bucks. In the K. of P. building there's a

up the entire circulatory system in the human body by means of baths and massages. Kaywood Van Note, owner and manager of the K. of P. Turkish Baths establishment, believes so strongly in keeping fit that he has made it his life's work. Mr, Van Note kicked my circulatory system .around to where I believe it can actually be called a system. He first was sold on the idea of hot baths*and massages while attending the University of Missouri where he played

football and boxed. After graduation be fought as a

professional for several years in his native St. Louis.

After quitting the ring he became a trainer—or if :

you prefer—a physiotherapist at the Missouri Ath-

letic association. For 11 years tired muscles were his

specialty there, He also put his talents to good use at Kelly field, Texas, for a year-and-a-half. Mr, Van Note had his eye on the K. of P. Baths ever since he had the chance to work there about five years ago. The chance to buy the business came two years ago. He left St. Louis and has been here ever since.

Equal to Brisk Walk

“THE AVERAGE Turkish bath is equal in exercise value to a 20-mile brisk walk,” Mr, Van Note said, handing me a pair of cotton mocassins and a clean sheet. Mr. Van Note has a staff ‘of five men in the business. The key has been thrown away to the baths which are open 24 hours a day. The establishment takes up the entire basement of the K. of P. building. Two women operators run the women’s section which is a unit all by itself. First in the procedure is the hot room. It's only 140 degrees there. A pint of cold water has to be drunk to facilitate perspiration. By the time the 20 minutes are up there's a distinct feeling that every pore in the body is calling for the fire department. A towel soaked in ice cold water feels mighty good on the head. It is changed frequently. This is done to keep the blood from rushing to the brain. Next comes" the steam room. For 10 minutes, with visibility at zero, the steam pours in and perspiration pours out. Oil of eucalyptus fumes are inhaled and the clinkers on the lungs seem to melt away. When you step out of the steam room you feel as if someone had swept all the dirt from under the skin. A brisk serub with antiseptic soap on a specially designed table makes you feel that way on the outside.

Needle-Point Shower

THE BIGGEST surprise of the whole routine is stepping under the needle point shower which is kept

“The Judge’

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—The ancient District of Columbia courthouse is far off the beaten path of tourists. Only people in trouble go there, along with visiting architects, who regag it as perhaps the most serenely beautiful of all government buildings. On a pedestal in front of the Grecian portico stands a statue of Abraham Lincoln, wearing white marble coat tails and the hint of a smile. The likeness is an excellent one. It is easy to imagine that this is the way Lincoln looked when he mentioned government of the people, by the people, and for the people. So you walk by the statue, through the courthouse and into an ultra-modern annex done in the Herbert Hoover school of architecture, with green

marble trimmings and bronze elevators doors. You ride to the third floor. Here is a bald-headed judge doing his dead-

levelest to prove in the midst of perhaps the most serious coal strike yet that Mr. Lincoln was right and that this is not a government of, by and for John L. Lewis. Justice T. Alan Goldsborough until yesterday was a jurist worrying principally about the trivial disputes of the people; today, right or wréng, he goes down in history books. With more than 100 other reporters I spenfy the day in and out of his courtroom, waiting for him to decide what to do with the union chief, who had flouted his injunction against the strike, who hadn’t even bothered to say how-de-do.

Cops Direct Traffic

THE PHOTOGRAPHERS waited outside to snap pictures of the justice department lawyers, who presented the contempt citations to Justice Goldsborough. So many citizens crowded around the photographers, that three special cops had to direct traffic,

Science

AN EXPERIMENTAL uranium pile, designed to produce atomic energy for industrial power purposes, 5 will be built at the proposed $20,000,000 Knolls atomic power laboratory in Schenectady. The contract for the design, construction, and operation of this laboratory was given to the General Electric Co. some months ago by the Manhattan district of the war department. However, the new laboratory, along with the other atomic energy installations of the United States, will pass shortly into the control of the atomic energy control commission recently appointed by President Truman, Chaitman of this. new commission. is. David E, Lilienthal who made a distinguished record as a public servant as chairman of the Tennessee valley authority. During world war II, uranium piles were built at the Clinton engineer works in the state of Washington. . These piles were designed, however, for the conversion of uranium into plutonium for atomic bombs.

4th Research Institution

THE ENERGY produced by the nuclear reactions in the form of heat was actually a nuisance and had to be dissipated with the aid of elaborate water-cooling systems. These piles were designed to produce a minimum of heat. Obviously the new pile at Schenectady will be designed to produce the maximum amount of heat and to put it to work, The proposed Knolls atomic power laboratory is the fourth institution for research set up by the Manhattan district. The first two, already in operation, are the Clinton laboratory at Oak Ridge and the Argonne laboratory in Chicago.

My Day

NEW YORK, Thursday.—In a conversation among a group of delegates to the United Nations general

assembly, a rather interesting idea developed. One man said, “so many people come here with the idea primarily of advancing the interests‘of their own nation and their own people, and yet the value of the United Nations is in learning that our interests have to widen. We must discover what are the ties between the interests of our own nation and those of all the others around the world.”

Good of All

HE WAS RIGHT, df course, for only as we make these discoveries and see the pattern of mutual interests grow, can the real objectives of the United Nations be attained. There would be very little point in asking a country in South America, which was just ‘beginning to develop many of its own resources, to help the war-devastated countries to return to a selfsustaining basis unless, by so doing, the people in the South American country would in the long run find that they had benefitted themselves. . There would be no real reason for supporting the world health organization unless that support was going to Increase the health standards of all nations, And there would be no real reason for all ‘nations

O. plans to continue jts Political Action Committee, despite the defeats it suffered two weeks ago, are causing delegates to the convention

here to wonder at the absence of two men who have been this organi« gation's outstanding political favorites., They are Henry Wallace and Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla), who heretofore have worked closely with the C. I. O-P. A. C. and allied groups. President Philip Murray only smiled when asked why neither Mr, Wallace nor Mr. Pepper had been invited. Among the 600 delegates, however, can be found opinions that the reason is the C, 1. O.-P. A. C. wants to back a winner in the 1948 Presiden tial election and its leaders are con« vinced neither Mr, Wallace nor Senator Pepper looks promising. » . . THE CONVENTION'S last visite ing speaker was Labor Secretary Lewis B. Schwellenbach, who came here with five officials of the labor department, including Edgar L. Warren, director of the U. 8, con-

and Mr, Warren declined to discuss the coal crisis. Regarded as an indirect reference to the conflict was this statement by Mr. Schwellenbach: “Some critics say conditions have changed with the growth of organ= ized labor today. They argue any of several powerful unions can cripple our economy, either by refusing to work or by naming terms that industry cannot meet success fully. “That is a very serious charge and no mere reference to the rece ord can entirely refute it. Only the leaders and members of organized labor can supply a firm denial. As secretary of labor, I have had few misgivings on that score.” . LJ - MR. SCHWELLENBACH pleased the C. I. O. by supporting its opposition to new labor legislation exe pected in the next congress, and by backing a general demand for new “substantial” wage increases. The secretary said wage boosts of the past year were not as great as generally believed, that they did not maintain the wartime level of average weekly earnings, and have been more than offset by the rising

THE AMOUNT of fat, as well as the amount of sugar in the diet should vary with the energy needs of the body. Excessive amounts of fat tend to be stored as body fat. The manner in which food is prepared has less effect on its digestibility than we formerly believed. Studies show that fried potatoes are just as ‘digestible as are boiled, baked or mashed potatoes. You may be distressed after eating a heavy meal topped with a rich, fatty dessert, but that is because you ate too much and the full feeling consequently persisted longer than usual.
