MRS. BARBARA MICKLICH DIES AT CATONSVILLE. Mrs. Barbara Micklich, sixty, wife of Herman Micklich, of Catons-ville, died at her home, 100 Melvin avenue. Besides her husband, she is survived by several children. Burial was in Loudon Park Cemetery. A clever parallel between the overheated man and an overheated automobile is used by Dr. Josiah Bow-en, County Health Officer, in advising folks to keep cool. It is not necessarily the temperature that makes you hot during these sultry August days according to Dr. Bowen, for on an ordinarily hot day the temperature seldom climbs over 90 or 91 degrees, while the normal temperature of the human body is 9 9 degrees; hence we are always a bit hotter that the air temperature unless, there is a spell of excessive heat and humidity. Why, then, does a temperature of 90 or 91, even a temperature of 80 or 85, make one feel so overheated and uncomfortable? The answer involves two things; the fact that your body is continually producing heat and the fact that your feeling of hotness or coolness is really not determined by the temperature of your body but by the speejl at which this internal, human heat can be got rid of into the air. The human body is really a good deal like a steam engine. The food that you eat is the fuel. In the stomach and digestive organs this food is converted into soluble substances—one of them is sugar— which can be taken around the body by the blood. These substances are merely liquid fuel, like the oil fuel that some engines use. In the muscles this fuel is "burned." A part of the energy in it is used to make muscular power, another part makes heat. The muscles (Continued on Page 8—CoL 3) CLAIMS $10,000 DAMAGES Myron Palen, Through Father, Enters Suit In Circuit Court.

But are there any inhabitants on Mars?
