Weather, Temperatures, Work

Leonard Hill, a great English ply
Biologist, recently wrote an interesting
book on ventilation He is recognized
as world authority on the subject. II
there Is any need for backing of Hill
as an authority this is supplied by the
medical research committee of the ma
tfonal health insurance, which issues
the Hill book as one of its special re-
ports.
In this book there is a lot of advice
Is to activity during hot weather He
says: by screening off the sun and
supplying a suitable wind work In
temperate climates on most days of the
year can be done with GOODNESS and
ease. By means of fans man can es-
cape from under the curse lin the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread
It will pay the employer so to regu-
late the cooling power as to prevent
sweating but not to intentionally cool
the heavy worker, He will in this way
bring about the greatest efficiency, in
creHee output without increasing
fatigue"
The essential of his plan is to pro-
vide working places with plenty OF
electrically driven fans. In so far as
possible the men are to be protected
against radiant heat, such as that from
the sun and from fires. Overcoming is
not to be permitted.
In some cases it will pay to chill the
workroom by some form of refrigera-
tion. We are cooling theaters and res
taurants, because those who play de-
manu It, Some hospitals for babies are
cooled as a means Of saving babies
hves Soon some employers will plan
to increase output by cooling the air.
Many who cannot refrigerate can make
the workroom comfortable by the in
stallation of fans.
To prevent minor shop accidents YER
non has shown that the temperatures
must be kept above IS degrees and be-
low 70 degrees. Whenever the air tenn
perature Of the shop fell below the first
figure or went above the second rise
In the accident rate was noted.
The best temperatures for various
trades is reported on by Hill.
The tailor is comfortable in still air
at 50 degrees. If the temperature rises
to 81 degrees he must sit in a steady
breeze flowing one mile an hour, or the
quantity and quality of his work will
fall off
Carpenters, metal workers, and paint
ers work best at The freezing tempera-
ture. If the temperature is Y degrees
they must have breeze of one mile an
hour, and If Sc degrees nine miles an
hour, for efficiency.
The stone mason must have breeze
OF one mile an hour If the temperature
is 80 degrees, two miles If So degrees,
and nine miles if 76 degrees.
