ON VENTILATION AND ARTIFl-
ClAL HEAT,

ON VENTILATION AND ARTIFl
clAL HEAT.
The purpose of ventilation is tC
ions indoors. Fresh air is one Of
the most important of all health agen
cies and at the same time it is the
most neglected. Perhaps we should
call it the most important, for al
though people have been known to
live days without food or water. yet
without air their hours would be
quickly numbered. Air is a vital ne
cessity to the human organism, and
the fresher the better-it can not be
too fresh. The oxygen of the air,
after being absorbed by the blood in
the lungs, is carried to the heart and
by that marvellous pumping machine
sent bounding through the arteries
to contribute to the animal heat and
to the vitality of the body. No mat
ter how nutritious the food may be
that is taken into the stomach, no
matter how perfect the processes of
digestion and assimilation are, the
blood can not be vitalized without
fresh air.
1t is estimated that the blood is
pumped through the lungs at the rate
of 500 quarts per hour, and that dur
ing that period it rids itself of about
thirty quarts of foul air (arbonic
acid gas), and absorbs about the same
amount of fresh air (oxygen). This
process takes place on condition that
fresh air is provided. If it is not pro-
vided, it will be readily seer that
foul air is thrown off only to be re-
placed by more foul air. 1t requires
10 great wisdom to understand that
great damage is done to the health
Of the individual if fresh air is not
provided for this interchange within
the lungs.
Ventilation, as a mean of providing
fresh air within doors, is particularly
imperative in rooms where people are
gathered together, as in churches,
halls, schools, etc. The late Prof.
Willard Parker in a lecture once
made a forcible illustration of how
the air of a was vitiated, in the
following impressive words:
IF, ladies and gentlemen, instead
Of air, you suppose this room filled
with pure, clean water, and that, in
stead of air you were exhaling, TWEEN
ty times a minute, a pint of milk, you
can see how soc the water, at first
clear and sparkling, would become
cloudy and finally apaque; the milk
diffusing itself through the water,
you would thus be able also to appre-
ciate how, at each fresh inspiration,
you would be taking in a liquid that
became ~momentarily more impure.

the Colored people throughout the
country to arouse the race to the dam
gers that confront Jul health as a peo-
pie; the unsanitary condition of our
localities and surroundings, the fear
full mortality among our people, all of
which can be reduced materially by
earnest, intelligent and sympathetic
cooperation of all our people. Let us
follow the lead of DR.. Washington in
this matter and no doubt if we do a

pleased at the beneficial results. The

important matter in a future issue.

RACE N LABOR.

Editor The Leader: The Negro
question in this country is acutely de-
veloping along labor and industrial
lines. There are a small group of Ne
groes, known as the better element,
that are Indignantly aroused over
segregation of Negroes in government
service. They have set up an awful
howl. Teachers, preachers and Negro
newspapers are much exercised over
the democratic policy toward the Ne
gro. They are going to try to resur-
rect the old Republican party, yet it
does nothing for them and has refused
to do anything for nearly 40 years. Sc
gregation and Jim-Crowism are not
worrying the working negro. The op-
portunity to make a decent living is
his chief concern. Our industrial life
is in a state of chronic anxiety and
fear of displacement; the labor unions
with their narrow, but drastic meth
DDS of excluding from their ranks Ne
groes, who are, constitutionally at
least as much citizens as they are,
and the increasing IA prejudice
along every avenue, are forcing Ne
groes to do some thinking. Segrega-
tion and ~Jim-Crowism may be I'M
pleasant for the Negro, but after all
there is a biological law that takes
precedence over our aspirations. If
the Negro expects conditions to grow
better in this country socially, he had
better wake up, nobody home" we
have been losing ground in this direc-
ton for so years. Shall we wait until
the white man has driven us, through
desperation, to the concentration of
u forces or accepting segregation
perfunctorily from him as a solution
to the race problem? Segregation on
a fair basis is much preferable to cur
present perfdious state of affairs.
Imagine, If you please, a community
of Negroes, free from a white mans
domination and exploitation, operat-
ing and controlling industries Just as
they are run in any white community.
1t is possible if worked for. The race
problem is a color question; being
good, honest or efficient does not
SOuAt " muSh. IHc real truth Oh
the matter is We are not wanted. The
Negro has been looking for a Moses
to lead him into the promised land
and he superstitiously believes that
some day Ethiopia" shall stretch
forth her hand and conquer the world;
and with the constant preaching of
such absurd doctrine, he is made sub
missive to any condition forced upon
him. Most all eNgroes are RepubIi-
cans, a few Democrats and some are
Progressives, but a very, very few So
dialists. A good suggestion to these
capitalist party men, who expect re-
suits beneficial to race, to come out
of the old parties, to demand federal
laws protecting the Negro against os-
tracism from the industries OF this
country; IL segregation must be car
ried into our Industrial life, make il
imperative that they employ Negroes
in proportion to population in COM
where Negroes live. In the
north the Negro is barred from work
through prejudice; in the south he
do does all Of the work but has moth
ing to do with setting the price of his
labor.

1t is exertmely unfortunate that
ever once in a while such scandals as
the n now resting upon Negroes in
the Pullman service must be brought
out. We do not believe that our peo-
pie any more than another is prone to
steal, though such exposures appear
TO hurt us more than other people.
Railway conductors and other white
employees are constantly meeting with
the same exposure of dishonesty, yet
they have many other fields in which
they may find employment. 1t pays
everybody to be honest, especially
those whose limitations are great and
whose opportunities are few. AS
Betty and Sam" would say, Let the
white folks things alone"

Although the United States SUI
preme Court has recently handed
down a decision strongly condemning
that form of peonage which is prac-

doubtful whether the practice will
cease from the fact that the unfortun.
ate prisoners will in many cases have
little chance to make their complaints
heard.
