Special 10 Times-Republican,


Des Moines, June 2-Iowa railroad

which are to go 10 France. The French
railway systems are badly rundown and
the plan is for American men Q! ex-

HOW 70 KEEP cool.
Heating and Ventilation Expert at Uni
verify Makes Suggestions.
How are YOU going to keep cool this

wOtSty M1RoS SuSSeSNVVs'
How are YOU going to keep cool this
summer?
If it is a season like last summer II
will be a difficult problem. but Profess
sor b. P. Fleming. of the engineering
college of the state university, an au-
thority on the Subject of heating and
ventilation. has made some suggestions
that will have great value for the per-
son who attempts TO combat hot
weather.
To keep cool on a summer day. ac-
cording to Professor Fleming, two
things are necessary. First, a person
must perspife freely; second, this per-
SEPARATION must be evaporated freely.
Fer every pound of sweat that leaves
the body thru evaporation 966 British
thermal units are expended. The body
is the source from which this heat
must be obtained. Hence, as sweat
evaporates. from the surface of the
body it removes heat and gives the
sensation of GOODNESS.
Sweating. with the healthy person, is
involuntary. If one does not perspire
freely he should consult physician at
once. A person should neither eat nor
with free action of sweat pores.
The evaporation of sweat can be es-
tahlished artifcially The passage of
air currents over the surface of the
body greatly increases the rate of
evaporation. Hence, we may employ
electric fans sit or work in breeze.
or go riding TO create an artificial
breeze.
Wear porous clothing for it assists
in admitting air to the surface of the
body. which effects a free evaporation.
Wool clothing and Undertaking de-
signed TO act as means of insulating
the body against outside warmth is
bad, if il interferes with rapid and free
evaporation of perspiration.
Atmospheric humidity is factor of
great Importance in maintaining bodily
comfort in summer weather. In high
humidity the large amount of water
vapor in the air checks evaporation.
On these days one is very uncomfort
able altho the temperature may not be
so high as on days of low humidity
when we scarcely notice the heat.
Many industrial establishments. ex-
pensive apartment houses. and hotels
recognize the role OF humidity in their
air conditioning apparatus by which
humidity is increased or decreased, ac-
cording to the season. in order TO pro-
mote the comfort OF the occupants.
The same effect may be had in the
less elaborate devices TO be found in
the household by setting block of ice
in front of an electric fan or in some
way causing the air current to come in
contact with ice. BY this means not
only is the air current lowered in tenn
perature. but portion of the water
vapor will he condensed out of the air
and it will be more effective as COOL
ing medium when 1t strikes the sur
faces OF the body.

when We do not think them val

the county can hope to get in
many future years, and as the
powers that be have designed to
spend this money In the improve

$500 per mile, and as these

of money we have so we could

to set aside the bonds at this

an opportunity is had to build
these same roads for about 5000
per mile, and we are confident it
can be done, and pick a time
when we have officers who see 1t

Had you noticed that there are
no counties in the State that are
now trying to vote road bonds?
There's reason. Counties that
didn't vote bonds are going ahead
with road building, notably two
adjoining counties, Estlll and
Menefee, without an increase of
tax, while counties, or many of
them, that voted bonds, are col
lecting tax only, while others
have set aside their bonds to
keep graft scandals from their
county seats, and to enable them
to economically build roads sure
