MISS LIBBEY,s ANSWERS
 TO YOUR LETTERS
Objects to Her Red Hat

Dear Miss Libbey
 I am going with a young man; we are engaged. He invited me to an en- tertainnent, which takes place next week. I made very pretty red hat to wear. I was foolish enough to try it on to show it to him. He grew very angry when he saw 1t on me. We had lively dispute over dtl He said: :: If you wear that you'll not go q step with me The town fire bells would ring if people saw 1t on the street. . Now which should it be, his will or mine; which wins out?
 ORRTE BROWN. Why not compromisss dear? Drape pretty lace veil, either black or white, over the offending hat that it may not be conspicuous-and wear it.

"FALLAcIEs" ABOUT FRESH AIR.
No Poison in Expired Air-oxygen
Not AppreciabIy Diminished in a
Crowded Room.

A discussion of the qualities of expired
air Professor Leonard Hill said in a lee
ture 1t has generally been supposed
that all the bad effects of close' crowded
places are due to chemical impurity of
the air, that the air Is contaminated by
the exhalations of human beings, and
that 1t becomes impoverished of oxygen.
But what people always complains of is
the heat and want of movement OF the
air Proof lies that the excess of car
bonic acid in the air in crowded room,
If sufficient to have any effect at all, will
only make people breathe a little more
deeply, and ventiate their lungs more
fully. The oxygen in crowded room is
never diminished by more than one per
cent, the cracks, crannies. and pores In
the room always suffice to let fresh air
in, so that the oxygen does not suffer
greater diminution. This illumination OF
oxygen has no physiological effect what
ever. In the famous Alpine health re-
sorts there is a greater dinninution In the
concentration OF oxygen owing to the; at
tenuation of the air at higher attitudes
Therefore the chemical state OF the air,
so far as regards carbonic acid and oxy-
gen, has nothing whatever to do with the
discomfort which is felt in crowded and
confined places, or with the heaitnfui
effect of open-air life. A great deal mas
been made of the supposed existence. or
volatile organic poison in expired air.
Its existence is asserted in all the popu-
lar books of hygiene. There Is no owl
dence worth anything in favor of the OK
istence of this organic poison in expired
air. The unpleasant smell of crowded,
confined atmosphere is not smelt by the
crowd within, but only by those who
come In from the fresh air. There is no
evidence that such smell has poisonous
effect, but it may nervously affect sensi-
tive people, especially those who imagine
it betokens the existence of poison in
the air. The smell may be prevented by
cleanliness of person, clothes, and haoi-
tations. Nj II

RAINMAKiNG PALACES.

Warm air is like sponge. 1t Will
suck up a lot of moisture and carry
it without spilling any. But II warm
air, we'll loaded with moisture Is sud
denly cooled the sponge is squeezed
and the moisture falls out as rain
Many years ago some hopeful gen
tlemen went to one of our arid re-
gions and exploded a lot of, dynamite
on the theory that the concussion1
would mix the strata OF warm air
near the earth with the cooler strata
above and so cause the necessary pre-
cipitation of moisture, There hap
pened to be light showers about the
time of the experiments, which en-
couraged the experimenters. but
didn't convince anybody else.
The fact is that natures rainmak-
ing machine is too gigantic to be at
fected by the puny efforts of humans
at least by any methods so far dis
covered
Nature pumps the moisture laden
air up into the cold regions of the
upper atmosphere with a wheel a.
thousand miles in diameter. When
this tremendous wheel of air is re-
volving normally it hoists millions of
tons of water vapor to an elevation
where it can no longer be carried in
solution and so falls back In rain
When the wheel is off adjustment it
is as futile to lombard the sky with
dynamite as it would be to fire pop.
