DRY. OVERHEATED ROOMS
ARE UNHEALTHY

Dry air in the room causes an
increased evaporation from our
bodies, irritates the nose and throat,
and probably is one of the main
causes of the unusual catarrahal
conditions so common during the
winter months.
You should bear in mind that the
power of air to absorb and retain
heat depends in great measure up
on the amount Of moisture or wa
ter vapor which it contains.
If the air in your home lacks the
proper amount of moisture, the
a higher degree in order to give the
same sensation Of warmth and COM
fort to your body that is required
when the air contains normal
amount of moisture.
How to Get
Moisture in Room
The ordinary thermometer is an
inexpensive article. and should form
a part of the necessary equipment
Of every home. The thermometer
| should always be your guide in de-
termining the amount Of heat re-
quired.
The addition of moisture to the
! atmos phere can be accomplished
more easily by maintaining a proper
system of ventilation.
As matter of fact, the most eff
cicnt heating system would be one
which combines with system Of
ventilation, one which adds moisture
to the dry air. People who are
| afraid to have their windows open
in the winter frequently resort to
another method in an attempt to
| supply sufficient moisture.
! They make use Of pans Of water
in the heated room and as long as
there is water remaining in the pan
they rest content, believing that the
air in the rooms is sufficiently
| moist and 60 on stocking the fur
! mace.
This method of placing pans filled
with water about the room, while
not to be condemned, has not proved
/ sufficiently effective to produce
| the desired amount Of comfort and
ease. The best method of adding
moisture to heated air is that Of
proper and sufficient ventilation.
Keep the air of your house and
office this fall and during the win
ted months ahead as it has been
during the summer, when the heat
forced you to throw the windows
open. a.
Don't be burrowng animal.
Don't seal yousclf up for the win
ter.
Don't be afraid Of breath Of
, fresh air
If you watch your thermometer
and the ventilation of your home,
! you will need to pay far less atten-
ton to your coal bills and your doc
! tor.

A dilapidated vacant house stand

Furnishings for the home were pro-

One of the features Of the Better
Home is a grandmother's room, which
is completely fitted with antique fur

Vessel to Carry
Planes to arctic
Is Named Peury
Macmillan Party Gets
Mine Sweeper From
France for Trip.

The ship which will carry three
Navy planes on the Macmillan Arctic
expedition will be known as the
Peary, it was announced today by the
National Geographic Society
The assignment Of a third plane to
the expedition made it necessary to
abandon the plan to use the Thetis, a
whaler, and Comdr. Macmillan imme-
diately set about getting a vessel
sturdy enough to smash through ice
and with deck space enough for the
third plane.
The naming of the new ship was
considered fitting honor to the dis
coverer Of the North Pole. and is es-
pecially appropriate also because the
Navy. the National Geographic Socie-
ty and Macmillan all had a connection
with Peary's attainment of the pole
on April 6, 1909.
The expeditions other ship. which
will carry party of scientists sent
out by the National Geographic So
ciety, will be the Bowdoin, as previ-
ously announced.
The Peary is q converted French
mine sweeper. She will be put in a
dry dock Immediately and additional
plating added to her bow and stern to
give her an even greater margin of
safety in her attack on the ice.
The ship formerly was known as
the Rowena. She is 129 tons net reg
lister and 345 gross, and lab feet over
all.

WARMERS TO AID.
Plan to Establish String of First-Run
Houses.

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, May 13.-
Representatives and executives of the
Warner Bros. motion picture interests
opened their national convention to-
day amid echoes of the antitrust"
war cry in the atmosphere from the
film theater owners in convention at
Milwaukee.
While independent exhibitors at the
Wisconsin gathering were denouncing
the tactics of the film trust" War
ner Bros. fired a broadside in sup
port of the move for independence in
production and distribution by an
nouEcing countrywide newspaper
advertising campaign to cost $780,
900 and plans for the erection of a
first-run theater in every large city
where such course is necessary Ito
break the monopoly of the trust"
AS explained by Harry Warner,
president of the organization. the con-
dition which independent producers
and exhibitors face Is this:
THE trust" of big producers con-
trolls from 60 to 65 per cent of all
the film theaters in the country. A
producer outside this group, therefore,
faces a steadily diminishing outlet for
his films, while the small independent
exhibitor faces absolute extinction.
Construction of the first of the pro-
posed string of first-run theaters will
begin in Hollywood within so days,
