HEAT AND HUMIDITY
WORST FOE IN MEXICO

Should the armed forces of the
United States be ordered to invade
the interior of Mexico they will face a
foe more persistent than armed sol
diery, foe which carries pestilence
and quick death in it's wake. This foe
will be the heat.
The mean temperature of Mexico
City is degrees higher than the mean
temperature of Philadelphia. In June,
July and August the mean tempera-
ture in Mexico will be S5 degrees.
During the same months in Philadel-
phia the temperature will not. reach
more than 76 degrees on an average.
Contrasted with the coast city of
Vera Cruz, Mexico City is compare
lively dry. At Vera Cruz the annual
rainfall is about 100 inches, while at
Mexico City not more than thirty
inches fall annually. The humidity
at Vera Cruz is, consequently, greater
than at Mexico City, but the heat dur
ing the summer months at the latter
point is terribly oppressive.
Should American soldiers invade
interior Mexico" said Forecaster
Bliss recently, they will undoubtedly
IuG neal IuSlI WOIOt IOO. DSlOIS
Northern men can live in Mexico with
comfort they must become acclim-
ated. Although the temperature does
not advance more than degrees
above our mean temperature, the
heat conditions in Mexico differ from
those in Philadelphia and other North
ern cities, by reason of the fact that
warm spell in this climate never
lasts more than five or six days at the
utmost. In Mexico a mean average
temperature of IS degrees is usual
and, therefore, residents Of the North,
who have been accustomed to a vari-
able climate, will find themselves hadr
pressed If forced to remain in Mexico
for any length of time"
Along the coast of Mexico. especial
ly at Vera Cruz, the humidity is ter
ribly oppressive. Inland the humidity
decreases, but the heat increases.
Trained soldiers of the regular army,
accustomed to camp would be able
to withstand the barometric condi-
lions of the coast and the heat of the
sun, but the members of the National
Guard of the various States would be
hard pressed if ordered
on long inland marches in Mexico.-G
