LEGION MAN OF MANY TASKS
Howard 8. Fisk, Historian Of District
Of Columbia, Has Had Many
Interesting Experiences.

Howard s. Fisk, now historian Of
the American Legion in the District Of
Columbia, was considered during the
war as one Of the most resourceful Of
executives on account Of his expert
knowledge concerning automobile
transportation.
Fisk was born in New York City
and. on removal to Washington, be-
came a newsboy. From this lowly
station he arose through various de-
partments Of city daily until he
became automobile editor Of the news
paper. As result Of his work in this
connection he became familiar with all
phases Of automobile transportation,
and has edited several books on this
subject.
He was identified with the District
Of Columbia Naval Militia during the
Spanlsh-American war, and was pay
clerk on board the U. 8. s. Fern, the
first ship to enter Havana harbor
after the Maine was blown up. In
1917 he volunteered his services to the
navy and during the war was stationed
in Washington as staff member Of
Admiral McCowen's staff. When the
outbreak Of influenza swept the city in
1913, Fisk was detached from active
duty and was placed in charge of a
transport corps. which conveyed pa
tients, physicians and nurses through.
out the city during the epidemic. The
District Of Columbia was under direr

siderable speculation as to whether

If it opens on shaft the room may be kept more cool by the use of fan. which can be fitted into the top glass of any window and which is not ex- pensiVe. Of course. an electric fan on the top of the bureau will keep up a refreshing breeze, and there is just as much sense in being cool in bed as at desk. Don't leave the lights on too long or keep a laAp burning, as this not only attracts night insects, which are a nuisance, but somewhat increases the heat of the atmosphere.

An old trick is to wrap cold cloths around the wrists at the pulse or to hold the hands and wrists in a bowl of cold water. The use of enemata with cold water always lowers the temperature and makes the body re- freshed and less heated.
 The odor of the room when going to bed has much to do with comfort. Nothing Is so unpleasant as heavy, stale air.

PORTABLE SLEEP

Though during the daytime we grumble at the heat and generally manage to quench our thirst or take a ride to cool US off. But how to find sleep and really comfortable repose at night is a big hot weather prob lem; and unfortunately We seldom take any trouble or thought how to increase our sleeping comfort in spite of the fact that we need uninter- rupted rest to withstand the added strain of work done during the Scorching day.
 But there are several simple things that any one can do to add to the en- joyment of cool nights rest. First, Is the bedroom as free as possible from stored clothing, extra bedding and heavy curtains. No room can be cool if there IS a warm carpet on the floor or if bundles and blankets oc- cupy space, because these artices ab- sorb heat and later radiate 1t back in the room. Any feeling of confusion or clutter increases the sense of heat. The ideal sleeping chamber has a bare floor. shades but not curtains. and only a chair and bed!
 Next let's see how best to make a bed. A hair mattress is cooler than any other. and a thin. quilted cotton pad under the lower sheet helps keep the bedding smooth. And here Is d small but important point-are the sheets long enough and wide enough? If they are not they will surely pull up from the bottom or become wrin- kled as the restless occupant turns from side to side. Sheets must have considerable "overhang" so that they can be we'll tucked in and not Jerk loose at the least movement, because the hot weather sleeper feels every wrinkle like a mountain ridge, and like the princess in the old fairy tale, knows if there is a single pea or crumb or grain of sand In the bedi The better made the bed the less un- easy rests the head on these hot evenings. Never let blankets and heavy covers be made up on the bed. as they, too. will heat the bed during the day; keep extra covers in a closet and in the evening lay on a chair ip case 1t becomes cool.
 The pillow needs a paragraph to itself. I have been waiting for years for some one to come forward with new kind of filling for the sum mer pillow. Why in the name of Strassburg geese should feathers hot, fluffy, woolly feathers--be used brains cool? For winter, yes. the feather pillow and the down quilt are ne plus ultra, but on a breeze less night when the proverbial leaf refuses to stir, why feathers? Sup pose we try an lair pillow" such az We blow up easily and which can be adjusted thick or thin, hard or soft, as our particular head prefers? Their cool linen covers are far less hot than ticking, and. of course, air Is cooler than feathers. Hair pill lows, especially those that are flat. small and thin, are more comforta-

for probably the old Chinese had more method in their incense burning than appears at first sight! Various toilet waters dropped into a small bowl of water or used with an atomizer are invigorating. Indeed, we have still far to go to seSse the benefits in the use of perfumes and pleasant odors so familiar to the oriental.
 The facts are that if we took as much interest and pains to keep cool at night as we do to be comfortable during the day, our summer sleeping would be more refreshing.
