ENGLISH SEE SEX
WAR POSSIBILITY
Women Organize to Prevent Be-
ing Forced Out of War Jobs
By Discharged War
Veterans.
Correspondence Of Associated Press

London-An economic battle is being
waged over the 100000 unemployed
women OF the country who earned good
wages chiefly as munitions worker
Turing the war. Some English news
papers and commentators are asking IL
a sex war is one of the sinister possi-
bilities OF the future. They point out
that the situation is more dangerous
thai when the suffragets were won't
to smash windows and terrorize the
London police because the women did
not then know the full measure OF their
power.
Since the armistice was signed IL has
become more and more apparent that
these 1900. 900 women workers would
have to return to private life so as TO
give opportunity Of employment for
returning soldiers. Blu they have not
accepted the situation with good grace,
and have answered the challenge Of
the economic condition by strong or
CARNATIONS whose avowed intention is
to safeguard the position of woman in
industry.
The most important OF these is Lady
Rhondda's newly inaugurated Wom-
ans Industrial League which has
opened Offices in London and sent or
ganizers into all parts OF the country.
Lady Rhondda's plans are viewed with
suspicion and some measure of dis
trust by professional woman labor
leaders.
DIR. Marion Phillips, chief woman Of
hcer of the labor party. asserts that tho
agitation conducted by Lady R%hondda's
league is calculated to lead to bitter
ness n sex strife between men and
women workers.

HEAT AND HUMIDITY.

DIR. HaNhurst. of Columbus. Ohio,
worked on the matter of heating and
humidifying by experimenting with an
ordinary two story and basement
mouse. about such a house Us is lived in
by a large number of people who seek
knowledge on heating and ventilating.
The u had three rooms downstairs,
three upstairs. and a basement. in
which were located 81 hot air furnace, q
laundry, and other ordinary basement
equipment.
The experiments were made in ,Ianu-
airy and February. 1918, lasting between
i've and six weeks. Conditions were
judged of by the feeling Of comfort"
and by observations made with Their
mometers and hygrometers.
The heating was done by an ordinary
furnace-the humidifying by an auto
matte device which sprinkled water on
tn dome OF the fire box and within the
hot air chamber. An ordinary electric
ran, located e an opening IN the
air pipe in the basement, and operated
three to six our a day. served TO
Keep the circulation Of air and the dis
trlbution of heat satisfactory. The use
OF the fan was said to be Ito get the
heat out of the furnace"
The general conclusion arrived at
was h a the equipment described is
sufficient to properly heat. humidity,
and ventilate the ordinary cottage ZONE
in the upper Mississippi valley in mid
winter.
The essentials for a proper living
room atmosphere are:
1. A barely susceptible circulation OF
Air. without draft.
2. A temperature not depr"ssing'y
high nor uncomfortably low. with heat
more or less evenly diffused.
3. A degre of humidity which is
neither too high nor too low.
4. Absence of noxious gases and dis
agreeable odors.
The air should move at a velocity Of
about ont foot a second. The tempera-
u should not be over So degrees F.,
and the humidity should be 10 to so.
