Over Seventy Degrees Of Heat Too
Much

The right temperature for the
office, living room or work room,
that degree of heat that will keep
one comfortable, healthful and
at the same time will enable him
to do the greatest amount of
work with the greatest ease is
discussed in today's bulletin from
the State Board of Health. 1t
says:
Seventy degrees of heat
which most people think they are
keeping when in reality the
thermometer reads anywhere
from Y to 7S is, for all practical
purposes, too hot. 1t is ener-
waiting and unhealthful. 1t pre-
disposes to fatigue, colds, grippe
and especially to pneumonia for
the reason that too much heat
lowers bodily resistance.
Careful study and all expert.
mentations demonstrate that a
moderately cool, dry air in motion
is the best air condition for the
body. AT no time is a temperature
higher than 6S degrees recon-
mended while a much lower
temperature is needed to work
in. In no country in Europe is
the indoor temperature allowed
to go over 6S degrees while the
usual house temperture over there
is 60. Huntington states that men
do their best mental work when
the air temperature is 60 and
their best physical work when it
is about 40. The best all round
temperature for work is so, he
says.
observations have further
shown that Il e minimum amount
of work during the year is done
during the hot summer months
and the middle winter months :
January and February : when
indoor heat is highest. Students
at West Point and Annapolis do
their best mental work, mathe-
mates in particular, in the spring
and fall and their worst work in
mid-winter and midsummer.
Excessive heat and lack of cool,
fresh air is thought to make, the
difference. =

Been Completed. Actual
Construction to Begin
Shortly
SlDETRACK TO BE REARRAkGED

That the years old need of this
community for larger and better
depot accommodation at Roanoke
junction is to be gratitied IN the
near future, we learn from Mr..
Jno. l.. Patterson, who has been
working for the last two years
to get the Seaboard Air Line
started upon this proposition.
Mr.. Patterson has received
notice from Mr.. R. |. Cheatham,
General Traffic Manager Of the
Seaboard, that plans for the
new depot at Roanoke Junction
will be forwarded to him shortly
and that actual construction
work upon the new station will
be begun as promptly as possible
thereafter.
Until the plans are received, we
are unable to state definitely Just
what character of station the
Seaboard contemplates erecting,
but we understand that it will
be infinitely better than the ore
we now have at the junction and
in all probability it will be a very
creditable passenger station.
The new station will be located
on the east side of Roanoke Ave
nue., and a Encouragement of the
sidetracks at the Junction will
be effected in order that as little
inconvenience as possible may
be caused the public. We under
stand the present passenger
station will be torn down and
the freight depot at Roanoke
Junction greatly enlarged to
take care of the ever increasing
volume Of freight handled at the
Junction.

The school children and the

A set of playground apparatus
has been installed, consisting of
a gaint stride. a circle swing, a
slide and acting poles. There
are already two basketball courts
for boys and girls. 1t is planned
to arrange a tennis court soon.
Only lack of space prevents sur
facing a baseball diamond. The
installation of this means of
play has already paid for itself
