jects before the morning session of

likely to create sensation In tho

workers are killed every year, 1t
means that there is something wrong

RED UNDERWEAR
ADDS TO HEAT
ARMY BOARD MAKES TEST IN
PHILIPPINES AND ExPLoDEs
A THEORY.

Washington, D. G., May 23.-Fantas-
tic theories regarding the use Of col
ored underclothing to repel the heat in
the tropics have been dispelled by a
report made by the army board for
the study Of the tropical diseases in
the Philippines.
About eighteen months ago 5000
suits of orange red underclothing and
a corresponding number of orange red
hatbands were sent to the Philippines.
1t Didn't Relieve Heat.
These were distributed so that one
half Of company should be clad In
the new garments and the other in or
dinary white underclothes. The army
surgeons kept close watch upon the
men, but failed to find that the colored
clothing brought any relief from the
tropical heat, although British army
officers in India had reported that such
clothing was much more comfortable
in hot weather than white.
The medical board found that the
colored underclothing, which was un-
popular, added materially to the bur-
deu or ueaL upon Lne system.
Admits It's Protective.
1t Is admitted that the orange red is
a protective against the chemical rays
Of the sun, but the same result is OBJ
tained by the khaki and the tan col
ored campaign hat Of the American
soldier.
The experiments were conducted
with great care, frequent records be-
ing made OF blood pressure, Of loss Of
weight, and Of general conditions. The
results were the same in the case Of
either the white skin of the American
or the brown skin of the Filipino.

DID DOTTUMW
SECURE FULL
ENUMERATION?
ONE CENSUS TAkER SAID TO
HAVE DRAWN LINE AT RECORD
ING NAMES OF MAIDS; AsBURY
DEFENDS MEN.

Did Ottumwa secure thorough
enumeration and will the results of
the labors Of the enumerators show
this city to have grown up to the ex-
pectations of the boosters? There are
some who maintain that the enumera-
tion in spots was incomplete, and it
Is known that more than 400 names Of
persons claiming to have been missed
by the enumerators were telephoned to
the Office of the Commercial associa-
tion and in turn given in to the super
visor of the census. In one district the
enumerator is said to have told wom-
an that he was not taking the names
Of the Kitchen mechanics" If that
was the practice throughout this enum-
orators district, a number Of persons
would fail Of enumeration in the CEN
sus.
Many Of the persons whose names
were said to have been missed, really
1t. There were, however, number
who had been actually overlooked by
the enumerators. When called upon
by the census agent at her home an
East Fourth street resident was told
by the enumerator that he was not
taking the names of kitchen mechan-
ics," but just the family. How many
persons may have been missed be-
cause of following the avocation of
housemaid, is but conjecture.
The Office Of the supervisor was vfs-
tied regarding the alleged assertion Of
the enumerator, and the agent of the
census was defended by Supervisor
w. H. H. Asbury, who stated that he
did not believe any one of the enum-
orators would do such thing and that
there must have been an error some
where. The enumerator was not locat-
ed, and just how the remark happened
to be made or how far he put the as
sertion into practice, is known only to
the man that asked the questions in
that particular district.
