are occupied more than six to ten
hours out Of the twenty-four
How are we to get the proper hu-
nudity into the air in our homes was
the question asked DR.. Swenerton. and
how much water will it take? He re-
piled that the average six or eight
room house would require from six to
eight gallons for every twenty-four
hours when the outside temperature
was from zero to 20 below. He also
said that air heated to IS degrees
with relative humidity of SO to 60
was warmer than dry air at 70 to rs.
To prove this statement the following
explanation will make it claeer to any
one:
Extremely dry air draws the mois-
ture out of the body to the surface,
and it is the drying of this moisture
that creates refrigeration, causing
person living in the dry air to feel
chilly, even when the thermometer
registers 70 to rs degrees above zero.
1t is the damp underwear that
causes one to feel the cold when step
ping out of home or building where
the air is low in humidity. To illus
trate further, take the bather, as long
as he is under the water he is warm
but the moment his body is above the
water he is cold, and again when his
body is dry he is warm. 1t is during
the drying process that he is cold.
The same is true of the African
water bag, which is so made that
small amount of water seeps through
to the outside and it is the drying or
evaporating of this water that keeps
the water inside the bag cold, even
when the bag is hung in the sun at a
temperature of 100 degrees.
Heating engineers all over the
world are studying the question Of
humidity and how best to introduce it
into the air in homes where mechani-
cal devices are impractical and too
expensive.
J. A. Roell of the Roell Heating and
Ventilating Co., has perfected a heat
err that not only introduces moisture
automatically, but takes the air down
to the heater, where dust and disease
germs are dropped into a dust col
lector. Moisture is introduced, the
air reheated and again discharged in
to the rooms above. This process
makes the reheated air as pure and
wholesome as when taken in from out
doors. The entire house is heated by
circulation, changing the air in it
every thirty minutes. The heater is
SO constructed that it can be install

E. R. Long and family of Minot
were out in their large Overland car
Sunday looking over the crops on Mr..
Longs quarter section. He went back

the crops have come out and advanced

grain can sure stand lots of torture
from drouth and when rain comes
will then turn out a decent yield.

HINTS ON saw
ING OF FUEL
J. A. ROell, Who Has Perfected Warm
Air Heater, Gives Some Valuable
Advice on Moist Warm Heating.

The question of heating homes,
schools, stores and churches has been
a serious one in North Dakota and the
necessary for six to eight months Of
the year.
Normal heat during the summer
months has a relative humidity for
moisture Of 60 per cent in grams per
cubic foot at a temperature of 70 de-
grees Fahrenheit. This is the most
healthful and invigorating air to
breathe During the winter months
when artificial heat is necessary the
relative humidity is reduced in pro-
portion to the temperature outside.
For example, when the temperature
is 20 below outside and homes heated
to 70 degrees inside with the ordinary
furnace, hot water or steam, the rel
ative humidity is reduced to as low
as ~ IL per cent in some instances
and very rarely is it more than 25
per cent. This is drier than the dryest
air in the dryest desert in the world.
1t is this extreme dry air that causes
furniture to crack, pianos and other
musical instruments to lose their tone;
plants won't grow, children become
pale and sickly, old people get rheu-
matism and contagious diseases are
prevalent.
DR.. Evans of Chicago, who has
made wide study of humidity says
shat rs per cent of the pneumonia can
be prevented by humidity.
DR.. Swinerton of international
Falls, Mimi, made the statement be-
fore the Minneapolis board of educa-
ton year ago that their schools
were kept at a temperature of "a with
a relative humidity of &C and that
among the 600 teachers and students
in one of their large buildings, there
wasn't a cough or cold.
In large buildings thousands Of dol
lars are invested to get the proper
air to breathe. Mechanical devices
are installed to wash and moisten the

led in any new or old home, school or
church. Cool Easements are assured
by proper insulation of the heater, the
automatic arrangement is flexible so
it can be attached to any warm air
furnace already installed.
Think of having the balmy air Of
May in your home in North Dakota in
January.
Think of the saving Of fuel it costs
to heat your home from 65 to 70 or rs
when you can have more comfort at
IS degrees.
The cost of installing Moist Warm
Air Heater is so little more than dry
heat that the saving of fuel the first
year will pay for the difference in an
eight room house.
Any warm air heating plant can be
equipped with the Roell Moist Warm
Air system at cost Of $25 to $50.

Dawson's Dancing Dolls, who will

and Friday evenings, May Both and
31st, have recently finished an engage
ment at the Metropolitan Opera House,
Philadelphia, and were considered by
public and newspapers to have been
the ~cleyerest juveniles appearing before
the public ever shown in Philadelphia.
Notably among them was Corlena
Scheuer, a tot nine years of age, whose
singing and toe dancing were in a class
by themselves. Virginia Baker, an
other wonder, whose voice is considered
remarkable. Evelyn Coyne, age seven,
another remarkable child, whose grace
and technique are wonderful. Among
the others appearing are Viola Crane,
Anna Blumberg, the Fulton children,
Gladys Porter and others. These tots
would make many professionals of
mature age, sit up and take notice.

How Japan viii Help French.

The officers of the Japan Kindergar-

of America. One Is signed by the
president of the union and their inter-
national committee on conservation
and protection of children during the
war, and another by the director of
the American unit in France, Miss
Fanniebelle Curtis Of New York.
These messages, printed in Japan,
give the purpose and scope of the kin
dergarten unit. The plan was present
ed to the Japan kindergarten union at
its twelfth annual meeting held in
Karuizawa, and it was unanimously
voted TO ask the director Of each kin
dergarten in the union to present to
her children this scheme for helping

Thanksgiving day, of this year. The
sum thus collected will be sent to the

NO EXCUSE FOR LOSING PEN
How Recently Invented Safety Device
Operates for the Benefit of the
Absent Minded.

Have you the habit OF walking away
and leaving your fountain pen on
some ones desk?
If you have, you will be interested
in a device invented by Dermot Done
Ian of London, which is described in
the Popular Science Monthly.
II requires a special kind Of pen,
which has a case with spring holders
having one side free to move by
means of their own elasticity. Chains
attached to these holders are fastened
to lever, which, by means of a spring,
holds In place flexible striker for
the bell
When the pen is in the case and the
plug for the cover has been put on,
the holders are forced away from the
sides and the chains are slackened,
When the pen or the plug are removed
the holders contract and the chains
are frightened.
The bell does not sound so long as
the person carrying the case is still,
When he moves, the striker sets up
pendulumlike movement and the
ringing Of the bell follows, continuing
until the pen is put back in the case.

DEITY HURRIED OVER WORK
Why West Coast Of Japanese island
Is Rough and Dangerous Ex-
planned by Legend.

II Is said In the Alnu folklore that
the Island of Yezo, in Japan, was
made by two deities, male and fe-
male. who were the deputies of the
Creator. The female had the west
coast allotted 10 her as her portion OF
the work and to the male deity were
assigned the south and eastern parts.
They WED with each other In their
tasks 10 see which should get through
first. But as the goddess was pro-
ceedng with her work she happened
TO meet the sister OF Oionina and in
stead of attending OF her duties, stop
ped to have a chat with her, as Is the
general custom among women when
they meet.
While they were thus talking the
time sped until the male deity, con-
tinuing to work away, nearly finished
his portion. Looking up and seeing
this, the female became very much
surprised and frightened, and in or
der to hasten matters did her work
hurriedly and in sl0venly manner.
Hence it is that the west coast of
Yezo is so rough and dangerous, says
an exchange.

Birds Get No Fun out Of Singing.

"That the singing Of birds bears nc
