The same person is some- times red in the face as well as _ blue in the hands, and at other ° times neither one nor_the other. So we might extend this- question 'and ask: Why does the same per- son change color in, different cir- cumstances? Rub Them Vigoroysly The answer is that thelr of the skin at any given moment de- pends upon the kind and amount of blood circulating in the skin at that moment. The blood is the source of all the color we notice] in people. In the absence of en- ough' blood the face and lips look white or 'pale. When there is a rush of bright red blood to the surface, as whén a person is Sakina violent exercise; LB ines red from the ex pandiog. smallest arteries; when the skin is exposed to severe cold the op- posite happens. The arteries con. tract and contain less red blood, and the veins expand and contain more of the purplish, impure blood. Further as the veins of the hands and limbs are nearer the surface than the arteries they are more 'easily "seen, and the bluish color of the blood shows through and: tints the skin when it is cold, If " the hands are vigorously rubbed, or exercise taken to stimulate cir. culation, the 'blood assumes {ts normal eourse cnce more and the blusness disappears.
