REGULATION OF TEMPcRA1 URE
According to Opinion Of Experts
Proper Mark for tho Home Is
About IS Degrees.

Heating experts tell US that churches
should be kept warmer than lecture
rooms. Whether this implies that the
lecture room audience Is more apt to
forget any discomfort due to tenn
persture than a church congregation
they decline to say.
According TO the scientists versed In
the subject, 65 degrees Is the proper
.emperatrre for q church, while that
of.a lecture hall should be between "
and ca degrees.
Public buildings, the experts agree,
should have temperature between 6S
and 70 degrees, while schools should
be kept uniformly at 70 degrees.
The proper temperature for the
home Is about SO degrees, with bath
rooms at between 70 and s. degrees.
Entrance halls and vestibules should
be kept at a temperature between Oh
and 90 degrees; gymnasiums 60 and
natatorlums g degrees.
These are the temperatures FOR
hospitals: general rooms, Y to IS de-
grees; sick rooms, Y; operating
rooms, 10 to 80.
Experts apparently do not believe in
making prisons attractive in cold
weather, as they recommend a temper
Azure for them between so and Ga de-
grees. Factories and shops should be
kept at a temperature Of 65 degrees;
boiler shops and foundrles, 80 to %;
machine shops, GO to IS; paint shops,
30.

At Cow Camp, the dryest point On
