LAWS OF HEALTH BINDING
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York City.

Last summer the Royal Sanitary
Congress met in Edinburgh for its
annual session. The section devot-
cd to personal and domestic hygiene
was presided over by the March
ioness of Aberdeen and Temaire.
In her presidential address the
Warehouses said:
at is an amazing fact that at
this period in the worlds history,
when there are societies and organ
izations innumerable, Of every con-
ceivable type, for the promotion of
public and private health, both Of
fetal and voluntary, both national
and international, that We should
still have to complain that the
apathy. on the part OF the ordinary
citizen is the greatest foe we have
10 encounter.
"The nation still persists that
every persons health is his own
affair, and that to devote time and
thought to its preservation is rather
a feeble and neurotic thing to do.
1T seems commonplace to say
that we shall never have an All
nation until the rank and file of
the people recognize the laws of
health are binding on them indi-
vidually, not so much for their own
sake, as for the sake of the COM
munity in which they live
This is good sense. 1t should ap-
peal, even to tie person who is in
different to what becomes Of him,
but too unselfisb to permit his own
shortcomings TO endanger others.
Many a man will do for his family

You may put it down as an IN
disputable maxim that achievement
and work go hand in hand!
We are all lazy-at least to some
degree! . o..
We all tend to let things slide!
We all like to take it easy!
Altogether too often do we-all
of us--work just enough to get by!
There's a lot Of idle talk about
luck, inspiration, pull and all that
sort of thing.
It's perfectly true that circum-
stances often shape themselves in a
happy way without any apparent
effort on the part Of the. person
benefited.
That's luck.
But what good is this sort OF
luck, what good is it when oppor-
tunity does knock unbidden at the
door, if the opportunity is not seized
and the most made OF it?
And that's work!
Work enters into everything that
amounts TO anything!
There is even work in inspira-
ton.
Whether II be the novelist, drama
tist, poet, sculptor, painter, designer,
inventor, builder of business-it
doesn't matter-anyone who creates
would starve to death il he sat idly
by, waiting for inspiration, instead
of knuckling down to work and sim
ply forcing his inspiration to come
TO life.
II you would achieve you must
work.,
You have got to put effort-and
the best kind OF effort you possess,
behind any project or idea in order
to make it stand out as something
exceptional or superlative.

How Light and Heat Energy Traverse Space


starry night the heat from an
area that has been baking all day
in sunshine, rapidly steals away
starward, but il a screen OF clouds
draws over the heavens the fall Of
temperature is notably arrested.
But what is heat? The scientific
definition is, "enersy in the form of
molecular vibration"
And what is the solar radiation?
1t is energy in the form Of vibra-
tions, or waves, oscillating in
hypothetical medium called the ether
of space. These waves arise from
atomic activity in the sun, but We
cannot here discuss that. The i'm
portant point for us is that once
excited the waves Of energy away
from the sun pass in all directions
through the ether. The ether con-
tains and carries them as the air
contains and carries the waves that
cause sound.
Sound waves are not sound I'M
til they strike the ear; ether waves
are not light or heat until they
strike an eye or impinge upon some
substance whose constituent mole
cules are set into vibration by them,
and this vibration OF the molecules
is called heat. Until transformed
into light, heat or some other diff
ferent form Of energy, the ether
waves are not luminous, or hot, or
characterized by any similar quail
ity.
Why do we not see streams OF
light from the sun travcrsing space
in all directions at night, like
luminous shafts from a protector?
For we know that the ether waves
stirred up by the sun must pass
the earth on all sides. We do not
see them because they encounter no
material medium, like the atmos-
phere, capable of Transforming them
into lisht-waves. When they hit
the moon, or a planet, they become
visible.
so runs the first lesson. As to the
ether itself, we cannot tell just what
it is, any more than we can tell
just how the earth was started re.
volying around the sun and rotating
on its axis. Man doesn't yet know
IL all.

Why do not the rays Of the sun,
transmitting its fiery radiation 10
the earth, lose some Of the heat by
traversing 100000 miles of
space" asks a reader in Chicago.
Many make the same mistake
about the runs rays, viz, that
they carry" heat, or are them
selves hot. In fact, the sun
beams are not heated, though they
do sometimes seem TO pierce the
skin Ike white-hot needles. The
heat is produced in the skin itself
by the impact of the rays. But,
you may ask, is that not virtually
the same thing? No, it is not. A
hot poker burns you by the direct
transference Of its heat, but the sun
beam, though it creates heat, does
not transfer heat.
To be sure the sunbeam e1pends
energy in producing heat in the
body that it impinges upon. But
il experiences no loss Of enegry
where it encounters no material sub
stance. When the solar radiation
falls upon a snowbank it expendc
energy in melting the snow by rails
ing its temperature above the freez.
ing point Of water.
The snow being frigid, j. e., very
cold, absorbs a large amount Of
energy in rising in temperature
from 0 degrees TO 80 degrees FAIR
enheit. But open space, through
which the sunbeams pass in coming
TO the earth, is not "frigid" in the
same sense.
For convenience, we speak Of the
zero temperature" Of space, but the
statement is misleading, for, in
reality, temperature is not asso-
ciated with space, and what We
mean is that, there being in free
space no material object capable 0:

ton and Transforming it into heat,
no temperature can exist there.
In fact, it is no colder out IN
space than it would be on the sur
face Of the earth if our atmos-
phere were completely taken away.
In passing through the atmosphere
the solar rays part with some Of
their energy by heating the air, and
the retention Of a certain amount
Of heat in the atmosphere causes it
to act like a great blanket shield

and friends what he would scorn
to do for himself.
There can be no doubt that many
feeble and undernourished individ-
uals are a menace to the community.
In case of an epidemic of any sort,
the person of lowered resistance
will catch and spread the disease.
On this account it is incumbent
on the frail and sickly to do their
level best to get we'll and strong.
Society at large Is much safer when
that happens.
Only a few days ago I told you
about vaccination and its sgnifi-
canoe to society. ! repeat what I
said then-that every unvaccinated
person in a community is like tin
der and shavings laid against a
frame building. A spark will start
fire which may destroy a city. An
unvaccinated person offers soil for
the growth in numbers and virul-
ence Of germs of a terrible disease
which may spread to innumerable
other persons.
1t is indeed true that no man
lives to himself alone. In health
matters, certainly, every person is a
part of the community and his ILL
ness may come to involve the entire
community.
The Marchioness Is right. We
shall never be safe as a people and
as a nation until the rank and file
recognize that the laws of health
are binding on them individually,
for the sake Of the general COM
munity. 1t is your duty and mine
to be well, or, at least, to do our
full part to keep and to be well.

Our Quota of Apples

there is truth in the ancient adage that an apple
day keeps the doctor away, this should be dull
= year for physicians and surgeons. The Federal
Bureau of Agricultural Economies estimates that the
apple crop of the country will be 30394 900 barrels or
about 100000 barrels than last year.
To consume the total crop every person in the
nation should eat on average quarter barrel year
This looks large but is really small order The apple
never pals on the palate. Despite Ewes regrettabe in
discretion few years ago. its popularity has progressed
steadily. Whether consumed daily will make med-
cal aid unnecessary may be questioned but such pro-
eedure surely will improve general health and that as
Walter Pater might put it, is not applesauce

Figures Of Speech
ION the Rostrum."

next week the delegates will
rally round the rostrum. and will
voice their opinion Of the state Of
the nation" says a recent article
on politics.
By "rostrum" is meant a place
whence orators address the public.
More properly, the word should be
"rostra," the plural form of "ros.
trum." which means "beak," in
Latin. The "rostra" were the beaks
of ships captured from the Garth
aginians by the Romans and set up
in Rome to adorn the public plat
form, in the Forum, from which
orators addressed the people. Hence,
the platform itself acquired the title
"rostra," or "rostrum."
From ancient times, the beaks or
prows Of ships have been a favorite
decoration for columns, etc.

Transmission That Will Give
Endless Ratios Needed by
Manufacturers.

II automobile manufacturers had
available a transmission capable of
giving ratios Of engine to car speed
varying almost indefinitely between
maximum and minimum limits, one
that would at the same time be sub
stantially efficient, quiet and durable
at all ratios, automobiles would be
driven the greater part of the time
at comparatively high speed ratio
with the assurance of greatest fuel
economy, 1t was stated by r. NJ. Heldt
OF Automotive Industries, in a paper
read at the Summer meeting of the
Society Of Automotive Engineers at
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va.
The mechanical change-speed gear.
which albws only three or four speed
changes, has been unsatisfactory to
car users and designers, according to
Mr.. Heldt. There have been many
efforts made to produce a transmits.
sion that would permit of an indef
mite range of ratios from zero to max
imum speed. Such range was given
by the old friction drive system. but
that was too bulky, wore too rapidly
and had comparatively low power

Considerable attention has been
given to hydraulic transmissions. with

suggested that desirable results would
be obtained from combining direct
drive with the hydraulic gear A
great number OF transmissions Of var

but with little commercial success, he

now being tested in France provides

Combining the variable throw and the
inertia principles is being developed

The inertia principle make use Of
energy supplied by the rotating drive
shaft, and stored up in reciprocating
or oscillating weights, to deliver the

at the same rate at which 1t was alb.
