WHEN IS
THE BEST
VACATION?
Do Most People Take Their
Recreation Periods at
Wrong Time Of Year.

Temperature seems to govern the
actions and reactions Of the human
body as the governor" of a steam en-
CINE regulates the volume Of steam
entering the cylinder according to the
pressure in the boilers. In a volume
called Civilization and Climate" re-
Gently isseud by the Yale University
Press, 1t 10 shown that extremes Of
temperature and humidity are the
chief inhabitors of our natural powers,
that we are at our best in the autumn
and spring-the two periods Of the
year during which the mean annual
temperature and humidity most nearly
prevail. We have been right in our
assumption that human forces are at
their highest in the temperate zones,
but wrong in our theory that we are
able to do the most and best work in
the winter, with its low temperature
and comparatively dry atmosphere.
Most people take their vacations at
the wrong time OF the year, according,
to this book. It is, OF course. pleas
anter to take your vacation in fine
sports. But you don't need vaca-
ton in the summer as much as you
do in the winter, when low tempera
ture and humidity limit all your
powers, and It is not the summer va
cation rest which enables you to work
faster and harder in the autumn, but
the favorable conditions Of the au-
tumn season.
Records Of work done in factories
throughout the year by q class of
workers, who do not, as q rule. take
summer vacations tend to prove the
statement just made. Their best
work in quality and quantity Is done
In the autumn months. This Is so well
understood In the industries that

HOW. TO NAVIGATE THE AIR

more on the airman than on the ma

Naturally, the first question is. "How

ers lay off at irregular intervals,
when they do not f1t-and this is near
ly always during the frigid months.
From such facts it is argued that it
would be better for workers of all
classes and for the interests Of their
employers, If the beginning Of the
year could be. established as the pop
ular vacation season, instead Of the
summer and early autumn. e.,
Factory, charts show that the fall of
the efficiency curve, which is low in
midwinter and rises until about the
middle OF June, begins when the av-
erage temperature has risen to about
So degrees. When the temperature
stops rising the work stops falling, and
then remains nearly steady through
July. During the succeeding period
Of favorable temperature the amount
Of work goes up, and at an increasing
rate, while the temperature is grad
ually falling. The curve Of work turns
downward when the average tempera-,
ture falls below 48 degrees, and reach
es it's lowest point in January.
To many it will be surprising to
learn that in southern New England

Factory temperature and efficiency
charts tend to prove this, and the
reason for the general contrary opin-
ion probably is that the bodily discom-
fort Of sultry weather is so general
ly appreciated, while most people have
a habit of calling cold weather Eek

to keep the blood stirring, and are
Ira he
this activity signifies possession of
the maximum Of energy.
It is not denied that there is wisdom
in quitting work during very hot sum-
mers and taking vacation on the coast
or in the mountains, though from an
economic viewpoint the need is not
so great for relaxation as when phys
ical weakness results from extremely
cold weather. z--
THE only trouble is that those who
most need such a change are rarely
the ones to get it, says the writer
Of Civilization and Climate" IF peo-
pie would spend the summer on the
Maine coast, the winter in Georgia,
and the rest OF the year in New York,
they ought to be able to do the best
kind of work at all seasons almost
without the necessity OF a, vacation"
AS spring approaches the increas-
ing proportion of sunlight appears to
act as a stimulant to both mental and
physical effort. This factor seems to
overcome the effect of late cold spells.
In the spring, as in the autumn, it is
found that workers may be pushed to
the limit and will not suffer, because
OF this seasonal increase in their en-
ergies. The point is emphasized that
after the middle OF November such
pressure may be almost disastrous,
rending. the workers unfit for more
than casual :. application during the
whole of the winter.
The suggestion is made that the
nervousness OF Americans is parity

lax somewhat in summer, we keep
ourselves at high pressure through

WHY NOT HAVE ONE HERE7

1t has been suggested that a num-
Der of people should get together
and buy a canning outfit and in this
manner would save quite an amount
of money as canned goods will be
especially high the coming winter
owing to the war, etc. Every year
large quantities of vegetables are
wasted. A canning outfit does not
cost a great deal of money, the cost
depending wholly on the capacity
required. We are of the opinion
that if it is impossible or impracti-
cable to interest number of peo-
pie in the proposition that one man
could make considerable money by
buying the outfit and doing the can
ming at a reasonable price, thus
saving the good housewife this
drudgery and as he would hay his
canning supplies in large quantities
could do the work really cheaper
than it could be done at home.
Here is a splendid opportunity for
an energetic young man.

that it was the source Of much sat

PASSES FOOD BILL WITH
DRASTIC DRY PROVISIONS

The administration food control
bill, giving the President broad au-
thority to control the distribution
of food, feed and fuel for war pur-
poses and appropriating $152,500,-
900 for its enforcement and admin
istration was passed by the House
late Saturday night after far reach
ing prohibition provisions had been
written into it.
The vote was 365 to 5, Repre-
sentatives McLemore, Slayden and
Young, from Texas, Democrats, and
Meeker, Missouri, and Ward, New
York, Republicans, voting in the
negative.
The prohibition provision adopt
ed would prohibit the use of food
stuffs for the manufacture of al
cOholic beverages and would give
the President authority to take over
for war purposes all liquor now on
hand. They were put into the
measure during the evening in COM
mittee of the whole, and when the
bill came up in the House proper.
the anti-prohibition faction did not
demand that they be voted on again.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where it probably will be substitut-
ed early this week for similar
measure already under considera-
ton. Leaders hope to get the
measure to conference by July l.
Few important changes were made
by the House outside the prohibition
section. The control powers of the
President were limited to articles
specifically mentioned in the bill, in
stead of giving him blanket author
ity; voluntary aid in control work
was made subject to the penal pro-
vision; all persons in the food ad-
mnistration except those serving
without compensation were placed
under civil service and the President
was required to make an annual re-
port on the operations of the bill.
The amendment designed to cut
off manufacture of liquor was
adopted 132 to ia. 1t was sub
mitted by Representative Barley
of Kentucky, Democrat, and would
provide that no food, food material
or feed could be used during the
war for the manufacture of alcohol
or alcoholic beverages, except for
governmental, industrial, scientific,
medicinal or sacramento purposes.
On the amendment authorizing
government use of distilled spirits,
there was no roll call and only Il
few scattered hayes were heard on
The viva voce vote. Originally pro-
posed by Representative Webb of
North Carolina, it was accepted by
Chairman Lever, of the Agriculture |
dill, and was adopted on his motion.
