Hot Water Cure for Insomnia
A NEW way of curing insomnia by hot baths to the arms only instead of to the whole body has been devised by a German physician. To use the arm-bath method, the victim of insomnia is laid on a narrow bed or bath table so that both arms can lie in hot water at a temperature of about 95 degrees, Fahrenheit. The temperature of the water is then raised slowly until the bath reaches 110 or 115 degrees. After a few minutes the patient is put to bed.

Graphic Science Section
Jimmy Terry, billed as the world’s greatest rope walker, recently walked between two Chicago buildings 39 stories above the ground. The stunt required skill and nerve, but the rope walker’s balancing pole was arranged as shown in the oval inset so that his task was greatly simplified. The pendulum effect of the weight at the pole’s end actually brought gravity to the aid of the performer, holding the pole upright so that he could balance himself by it.
