Martha were saying goodby to me
when the phone rang.
"A call for Mr.. Palmer" said the
maid.
Evan took UP the receiver nom
chalantly. In spite of his careless
way, for no reason whatever, q
silence fell upon our little group.

Evan paused and a curious expires

and he hung up the receiver with .

But Lorrie had to be wen wrapped
up, for a blizzard was raging. And

them once more.
Don't bother to answer" Evan
exclaimed. "Operutors make such
careless mistakes in the holiday"
He was talking too much about

The Unwclcome Telephone Call
Ann whtrled and stamped and
feaped In a very smart imitation of
a folk-dance and all except Martha
Palmer watched her with pleasure.
I said to myself that Ann was show
ing OF to Van again, and I wanted
to shake her, because she looked to
him for applause mor often than
to her husband. She was flirting
with Van, as usual, and I could see
IL the others couldn't.
I was sorry that Martha was pre-
occupied. She was debating the
wisdom OF adopting Marion
Sprague's unwelcome child. Martha
hardly noticed little Lorrie when he
touched the button that switched of
the lights and set the great tree re-
voiving so that the children could
pick its choice fruits.

tina had q chance to sit quietly. for
she made q most exquisite picture
and one which Evan was ~appreciat-

her beauty, either. But he had his
manners with him; or perhaps he,
too. observed Evans devotion to his
wife.
Evan lowered around Martha

before the It was like old
times. I could hardly realize that
they who had been such devoted
lovers so short q time g were as

(Second of four ~articles)
In consequence of the inability of
investigations TO prove that IN In
crease OF carbon dioxide and a d.
intuition OF oxygen are In any way
injurious. attention has been To-
cussed upon the physical changes In
the air.
Healthy individuals have been
placed In q cabinet Of three cubic
metres capacity for periods up to
four hours. After a time symptoms
OF headache, dizziness and depres-
sion yer observed.
Those In the cabinet were then
allowed to breathe the fresh outside
air through q tube. but this gave no
relief; o did the air of the cab
met produce any symptoms when
breathed through a tube by o per-
son outside. but the discomfort ex-
perienced by those in the cabinet
"a almost instantly relieved by all
or any one Of the three following
procedures:
Trst-Drying Of the sir in the
cabinet, which meant that the air
contained excessive humidity. ,
Second-Cooling of the air, which
had been maintained at too high q
temperature.
Third-The stirring up Of the air
by means of fans, keeping the air
constantly in motion.
None OF these procedures involved
any chemical change in the air. The
explanation underlying the forego-
ing observations Is as follows:
Normally. a certain heat inter-
change occurs between the human
body and hte air surrounding Il.
In order that this interchange
may take place with the
greatest facility. the air surrounding
our bodies must be In motion. 20
that the hear given on by our bodies
Is changed as FAST as It Is heated.
Secondly, the air must be cooler
than the body so that the proper
amount OF heat may be lost by radi-
alton.
1t must also be relatively dry $50
to so per cent? so that the heat may
be lost In evaporation of the per
spiratfon.
The Initiated atmosphere of q
densely populated. badly ventilated
room, fails to provide any one Of
these conditions. The temperature
Is high, the humidity is high, and
there IL little air movement.
Obviously, then. It 10 plain that
the f~Il-effects resulting from vitiated
atmosphere are not due to an In
orease OF carbon dfoxide, or q de-
crease of oxygen. but are the result
OF physical changes in the air.
However, q reasonable supply of
fresh air II necessary at all times,
inasmuch as II has been found to be
not humanity possible to maintain
the necessary physical conditions of
the air In any room without bring
Ing a certain amount of air in from
outside.
It Is especially important that we
should understand what constitutes
safe ventilation in view of the Sc
verify of our winters. and the high
cost of coal.
