EDITORIAL
KEEPING COOL.

TO avoid sunstroke, keep in a
breeze. This advice is from the
medical editor of the London Times
He says that heat stroke is rare in
well-ventilated or windy places, ~
mater how hot.
The old idea was that "gettin'
overcome by the heat" was due to
to temperature of the air.
European physicians are swinging
to the belief that head prostrations
and most hot weather discomforts are
due more to stuffy air than to ac-
tual heat.
People instinctivcly know this
Unconsciously, on hot day, yoU
seek position in a breeze or draft.
Mechanically, this is same as the
fan which cools an auto engine. Cir
culating air is the antidotc for heat,
Though too powerful a brceze-such
as created artificialIy by an electric
fans apt to cause stiff necks or
colds. ...-.
The principle, that ventilation coun-
teracts heat, applies also to clothing
That's why women suffer less than
men, in hot weather. Air circulatcs
under their dresses, cooling the skin
by evaporating warm perspiration.
In the Malay jungles, natives get
this same effect by wearing an I'M
der-vcst made of bamboo the thick
ness of pencil lead. The bamboo is
cut into half-inch lengths and strung
on cord in the formation of fish
net. The meshes or holes make cool
ing air pockets under the outer
clothes.
Why do you wear heavy garments
On winter? Your answer probably
IS, "To keep out the cold" But
the real effect Of wooden underwear
or a sealskin coat is to prevent the
heat generated in our bodies from
escaping into the cold air.
Put hot substance with cold
substance and the heat flows into the
cold until the temperature Of the two
is nearly cqNalizcd. This happens in
your refrigerator, heat flows out Of
warm food and melts the ice. That's
how food cools-by losing a lot of
its stored-up heat.
The same principle works in sum-
mer when porus clothing permits the
escape Of the body's heat into the air,
The body's heat flows out into the
air into cold bath, like water
through a pipe or electricity over
a wire.
When the atmosphere is saturated
with water, the evaporation of per-
apiration is checked, there being no
dry air to asborb it like water into
q wet sponge. Hence the saying,
Il wouldn't mind the heat if it wasn't
for the humidity"
Misery also comes when escape of
the body's heat is prevented by the
atmosphere being still hotter.
