. Six persons died, directly or indirect
iv, because of the heat yesterday, al
though the mercury did not climb as
high as on Saturday by six degrees.
The heat wave remains unbroken and
probably will increase, according to
weather predictions late last night.
These set forth that to-day would be
partly cloudy, but that Monday would
be still warmer.
John Howard, an elevator operator,
Of 526 West 123d Street; Frank Liguori,
of5sO Eighth Avenue, and John j. Ford,
Of 2O4 West Ninety eighth Street, all
died of heat.
The driver of brewery wagon, ap-
parently suffering from the heat, clam
bered down from his truck at Second
Avenue and Ninety-hfth Street about
$3.50 p. m. and sat on the curb. When
an ambulance surgeon arrived he was
dead. The truck is owned by the North
American Brewing Company, of Brook
lyn. There was nothing in the drivers
pockets to identify him.
Mrs Rachel Schoen, who recently had
been under treatment for a nervous
silment, was found dead beneath win
dow Of her home on the sixth floor of
$40 East 101st Street. She had COM
planned during the night of feeling
warm and is thought to have fallen
from the window when she got up to
enjoy the breeze.
Eight-year-old Joseph Piro, who had
Mar pf,f fn nod %bo
his home on the fourth floor of III
Mulberry Street for the sake of com
fort, fell through the we'll and was
killed.
Five cases of heat prostration, most
Of them occurring early in the morning,
we're reported by the police.
The ermometer recorded a temper
a.ure of 81 degrees at a. m. and then
began to drop. At l p. m. the temper
atare was 70 degrees.
Smoke Haze a Protection
j. II. Kimball, of the forecaster's
staff at the local Weather Bureau, said
the great clouds of smoke drifting
down from Canadian forest fires were
largely responsible for the cool weather
If the sun had not been obscured by
the smoke haze, he said, New YORK
probably would have had another 90
degree day.
Although the smoke was beneficial
during the day, he continued, it made
the nights warmer than they would be
otherwise, as it tended to prevent radi-
alton from the earth.
1t was said at the Weather Bureau
that thunder showers might be expected
to bring even cooler weather tempo
rarily. The Weather Bureau in Wash
ington was of the opinion that much
cooler weather would prevail through
out most of the country this week.
Frank j. Monaghan, acting Commits
sioner of Health, gave out the follow
ing advice for warm weather:
Don't forget that mothers milk is
the best milk for babies.
Don't give the baby anything but the
best in food and drink, graduated in
amount according to age.
Don't clothe or cover the baby too
heavily.
The baby should sleep alone.
Baths for Baby Essential
Don't fail to give the baby tub
bath daily and several spongings in
addition.
Don't allow flies. mosquitoes or bugs
to bite the baby.
Don't give the baby medicine except
on advice of physician
II the baby is sick send for your
ooctor and if you can't afford that take
tne baby to the nearest dispensary or
welfare station of the Health Depart
ment.
Don't forget that the baby gets
hfsty. Give him a little water sew
efal times day.
DON'T wear heavy clothing yourself.
