The principle, that ventilation
counteracts heat, applies also to
clothing. That's why women suf-
fer less than men, in hot weather.
Air circulates under their dresses,
cooling the skin by evaporating
warm perspiration.
In the Malay jungles, natives get
this same effect by wearing an un-
der-vest made OF bamboo the thick
ness OF a pencil lead. The bamboo
is cut into hali-inch lengths and
strung on cord in the formation
OF fish net. The meshes or
holes make cooling air pockets un-
der the outer clothes.

Mr., Porcupine knew he had nothing
