OF course, there may be gen

these certain players will be those

The Economy of Ventilation.

10 longer can any quibbler. doubt
that ventilation is conducive to health.
The last trench of the battIers for
.overheated, stuffy rooms has been the
excessive cost of installing adequate VEN
tilation systems, but now even that has
been captured by the ventilation and
purity forces.
New York, Chicago land some other
large American cities have clearly proven
that school buildings properly. ventilated
and the air humidified use 80 per cent
less fuel than one with less modern equip
ment. 1t is known now that 1t Is not
necessary that each person should have
thirty cubic feet Of new air every min
ute. warmed from zero to 40 degrees.
The fact is that the buildings are heated
just as well by recirculating the same
air oyer and over again. The children
are better physically and clearer men
tally, and the temperature varies from
IS to 81.
The first heating apparatus, replacing
the old-fashioned fireplace, was installed
seventy-f1ve years ago, and ten years
later the first ventilating plant was put
into operation. However, in 1723 the
British house Of commons made vain
attempt properly to ventilate its building.
Overheated apartments, the thermom-
eter frequently ranging as high as 70,
are very injurious. Such temperature
subjects the inmates to the great con-
ttrast with. the outer air in winter and
leads to colds. bronchitis. pneumonia,
tuberculosis and cerebro-spinal menin-
g1tis and even to smallpox, diphtheria,
measles and scarlet fever. .

COOPERATION is URGED
: FIGHTING TYPHOID FEVER
Surgeon General Blue Calls Atten-
ton to Its High Prevalence
Aboard Merchant Vessels.

Surgeon General Blue of the public
health service today made public an open
letter to managers and masters of lake
and river vessels directing attention to
the high prevalence Of typhoid fever
among seamen employed aboard Ameri-
can merchant vessels. and urging their
cooperation in an effort to stamp out
the disease
he presents statistics to show that
there were admitted to the United States
marine hospitals during the fiscal year
ending June 80 last 392 cases of typhoid
fever among the personnel of the mer-
chant marine in addition to many Others
treated at public hospitals and at home
These 392 cases, according to Dr. Blue
represent in the aggregate A loss OF
eighty years in actual working time OF
the seamen and of $4,000 in wages.
|. I'm terms of dollars and cents alone.
he says, this. is a rather heavy price
to pay for an entirely preventable dis.
ease
The surgeon general strongly urges that
all shipping interests recommend and
encourage their ship employees to i'm.
mum re themselves against infection by
the use of typhoid prophylactic. Such
steps, he declares, will result in a marked
reduction in the yearly typhoid rate
among crews.

Il The Searchli8ht
A Government Testing Flume at
Niagara.


| On account of the steady increase in
the size of water wheels and the higher
heads of water under which they are
being operated If recent years, there is
now no Place in the United states where
they can be adequately tested before final
installation. The Holyoke flume, which
has done much toward Increasing the
efficiency of water runners, neither has
sufficient head nor is it large enough to
meet present needs. A wide demand has
grown that the government construct and
operate a testing flume upon a scale large
enough to meet all requirements for some
time to come. 1t has been suggested
that this flume be built at Niagara.
A report advocating the construction
of a government f1ume has been submit
ted to the Boston Society of Civil En-
gineers by committee Of three of its
past presidents. Niagara Falls is sug
gested in the report as the only suit
able place for the establishment Of
the fume, as it combines the advan-
tages of geographical location and
inexhaustible wateri supply with that of
being able to furnish tremendous heads Of
water The committee finds that the head
on such a testing flume should be va
riable up to $50 feet.
Water wheel manufa cturers, it is point
ed out, would not be the only ones to
benefit from such an experiment station.
1t would serve the further purpose of
thorough studies on stream flow and
methods of greatest utilization of the
country's water power. Moreover in con-
trast to most other government expert
ment stations, the committee suggests the
testing f1ume could be made self-sup-
porting by charges of reasonable fees.

the Ohio senator's wife has turned her

Though all their friends know that Mrs.

one years of their married life essayed
any but the role Of the fashioned
wife. She has never appeared on a pub

has kept the hearth bright for him and
has created a home environment that
was inspirational in the finest sense of
the word. One day, recalling that this is
