FOR SUMMER
BY LOrettO c. Lynch
An Authority on All Matters Per.
tanning to Management of
the Household.

" HE careful housewife is al.
ready planning to put her
home into summer condi-
ton. And 1t Is none too early.
Too many of US wait until the
flies are already in before we re-
member that the screens are rust
ing in the cellar.
Before putting screens away in
the fall, after they are thorough
ly brushed they should be PAINTED
over with melted fat. This pro.
teCts them from rust. But now
the fat has to be removed. kero-
sene will help to remove grease.
1t should be applied with a cloth
or brush and allowed to remain
awhile. The screen should then
be scrubbed with hot soapy water
to which a little soda has been
added. II should be thoroughly
rinsed and dried with a cloth and
then exposed to the breeze. It
is now ready for a new protective
coat of paint
Paint comes especially prepared
for screens and does not plug up
the holes. The paint Is a great
preservative. Do II early before
the flies; remember 1t is getting
to be fly time.
Heavy draperies and portiers
should be taken down. brushed
out of doors, repaired. and, X
necessary, dry-cleaned before being
stored away for the summer. Car
pets should be cleaned as should
rugs. If possible. remove carpets
or rugs, and use grass fibre rugs
for the summer. 1t will help pre-
serve your good floor coverings
and the variations will present a
pleasant change
1t might be we'll to have a roofer
go over the roof. For, 1t is any
thing but agreeable to have to
send a hurry call for roofor
when the rain Of a summer storm
Is already dripping in.
The housewife who is going TO
can fruit and vegetables for the
first time. will need the services
Of handy man to put up a shelf
or two to hold these things.
Again, the porch furniture may
be in need of repairs. II you have
the winter heating plant gone
over now, II will need less repair
'hs hhoi IL you wait uulll llc re-
turn Of winter.
Then, too, the housewife should
begin to put a summer household
program into use. At least, she
should plan It. She should sim
Dlify the cooking. One woman
cuts down her household duties as
summer approaches by the FREQ
use of paper dishes. There are
paper dessert saucers, paper drink
ing cups. and so on. In this way
she can eliminate so to 70 per cent
Of the daily dish washing.
A fireless cooker Is such a help.
The mother may put the main hot
dish for the evening meal in the
fireless in the morning and then
go out into the open for the fresh
summer stray breeze, and still
feel that the family will have at
least one hot dish for the meal.

What We Que to Atmosphere

gravitative power to retain an airy
envelope.
The sunshine absorbed by tn"
earth's surface is radiatad back
into the lower layers of the at
mosphere with It's vibration period
so reduced that II falls out OF the
visible spectrum. and becomes
Obscure heat" Now. II is a prop
erty OF atmospheric air to absorb
very readily obscure radiation OF
this kind. instead of allowing II TO
pass through as it allows the Wis
ible radiation from the sun TO
pass.
The result is that the lower
layers OF the earth's atmosphere
become warmed, and they retain
the obscure heat that would esCap"
from the earth II there were no
atmosphere-as there is none on
the moon. The earth without an
atmosphere would continue to be
heated by the sunshine, just as the
moon is heated. but, like the moon
also. 1t would allow the heat to
escape almost as fast as it was
received.

MY boy, what are you doing
N that Is a free service and
without thought Of wages
or salary? That Is one Of the tests
of your character and also Of your
actual worth to the world.
Have you been thinking too
much about wages. fees, salaries
and other material returns for
what you do? Is mere money earn
ing power a fundamental asset for
a young man?
Go to your day school or night
school and watch for instructions
there as to how you might learn
to do some unpaid work.
Go to your father and ask
without thought Of pay-to be al
lowed to relieve him OF some over
burden which he is carrying,
some routine thing which you can
do easily.
To your mother and see IL you
can catch her in the act Of doing
some overtaxing work-perhaps
for your sake-of which you can
easily relieve her.
What's the use? you ask What
sdo I get out OF it? 1t is your
reputation that is at stake. 1t
is your self.respect. 1t is your
secret knowledge of being worth
while. Any cheap man can earn
a salary, but only the one OF
splendid mind and heart can rem
der a service.
He is always ready to lend a
hand. You can depend on him
to help. He wants to do NOR"
than he is paid for. He does not
quit by the clock, but leaves
only when he is through. He is
always asking for some extra
duty. He watches his parents
and does not permit them to
oVer-work. When some extra
generous service is wanted we al
ways call on him.
The Washington times., 1922-05-17

We may say that the moon is
''sunburned" like the skin OF
mountain climber. but yet, like
him. 1t shivers with cold where
ever the solar rays do not reach,
and falls TO glacial temperature
when II turns its face from the
sun in its long nights.
We never think enough of the
wonderful modifying effects Of
the atmosphere. We can't see II
and so we don't talk about II,
except when a wind blows-and
then we think only of the most
trivial OF it's qualities Even
the fact that 1t is the breath Of
life" for US is OF less cosmical
importance than the part that It
plays, and has played for ages, in
shaping the earth's surface fea-
lures and distributing the suns
energies over the globe.
Not a river would flow II there
were no air: not a river would
even exist. No drop of rain
would ever fall. On the daylight
side the earth would scorch and
on the night side freeze, II it
were not for the beneficent inter
ference Of the atmosphere.
The seasons would love their
distinctions. Summer would be
hardly less chill than Winter, and
the blessed Eradations of Spring
and Autumn would disappear.
No April violets no June roses,
no Autumn goldenrods, no Novem-
Der Indian Summer-think of
poor old Mars, who seems to be
approaching that condition, with
his atmosphere becoming so thin,
so sCantV. so chill

YVES. heat does result from
arrested motion, or rather
Il from transformed motion.
And that is the very reason why
astronomers speak OF the surface
OF the moon becoming heated
by the continuous impact. during
about a fortnight at a time, Of
the rays Of the unClouded sun.
Heat Is not sent from the sun
as heat. II II were. the suns rays
would be cooling off during all
their long journey of $4,000, 900
miles before reaching the earth,
or the moon. What the sun sends
out on all sides is energy In the
form of vibrations supposed to
occur in the mysterious and sup
posititious medium named the
ether. But those are not heat
vibrations, although they can pro-
duce heat vibrations in material
substances which they encounter.
However wrong physicists may
be in their speculations about the
manner in which the suns radiiL-
tions are conveyed, at any rate it
may he taken as certain that those
radiations are not in the form Of
heat while they are in transit
through empty space.
The fact to which you refer
that as we rise into rarer air the
heating effect of the suns rays
seems ~ diminish-is only an evil
dence that the rays require the
presence OF material substances in
order to manifest their power to
produce heat. The denser the air
the greater the quantity of radia-
ton arrested. and transformed
into heat vibrations. The cold ex-
perienced by aviators and noun
tain climbers Is due in part to the
absence of heated air such as is
found near the earth's surface,
but more to the rapid escape Of
whatever heat as is developed by
the suns rays touching their
bodies and their surroundings.
II you are on a lofty mountain
like Mont Blac, on II Cloudless
day, although you stand on O.

1t may be hundreds of feet deep
and which remains practically un-
diminished In quantity all the year
around, while the air about you
feels very chill, especially II
breeze is blowing, yet your bare
hand held out in the sunshine will
quickly be sunburned, with a be-
ginning of blistering. With a
pocket lens you can in a minute
prove to your entire satisfaction
that the suns rays have lost no
mite of their kindling power by
bringing them TO a burning focus
The sunbeams falling on the
