DIFFERING to my article in
~ yesterdays paper, there is
some reason to suppose that the
temperature of 66.5 degrees F. in
the (2) group Of rooms is too
high for maximum health. Ten
to IL per cent more children
were absent from nonrespiratory
disease in the rooms at 66.5 de-
grees and 6S.5 degrees than in
the rooms kept at SO.
Louis Taylor-Jones, who studied
the question in Washington for
the school year 1923-24, found
that while children in the schools
with ordinary ventilation lost On
an average IL to As days a year
from colds, those in the single
open-window school only lost six
Of day.
Exposure to too high q tenn
perature during school hours
seems to make children less
hardy and less resistant to in
lection.
Laboratory experiments by the
New York State Commission
showed that where person is ex-
posed to an air temperature of
rs degrees F. there is rise of
body temperature and a marked
decrease in the tone of the blood
vessels, while the pu1se-rate goes
up from IS to 81 beats per min
ute.
Lack Of ventilation also has the
effect of reducing appetite.
A group Of men and women
were placed in an observation
room for five days a week, for
several weeks, and the room was
ventilated and unventilated on
alternate days, the temperature
and humidity being kept at the
same figure. On ventilation days
Ala per cent more food was
eaten at lunch than on the other
days.
Overwhelming is as bad for the
health of miners and fancy OPP
peratives as it is for that Of
school children and increases the
mortality and absence rate from
both sickness and accident.

GROSSLY to herself, but she went.
She waited for Monica in a bare
little dressing room off the ward
robe room. 1t was the dressing
room where Bobbie, herself, had
tried onthe shell-pink ballet dane
er's dress q few weeks before
and she remembered how wildly
happy she had felt, turning in
front Of the mirror. There had
been no love affair with Gus Mac.
Cloud then, to make her miserable
and full of childish longing to
cry.
She had been sitting there for
10 or Is minutes when the door
suddenly burst open, and Monica
stood in the opening. Her eyes
were wild and she danced up and
down in the short isis Hopkins"
apron she wore.
"Bobbie! Fire! Fire!' she
screamed at the top of her voice.,
"LOoK?' There was smoke pour
ing from every window of the
building next door-the low white
frame building where the extras
dressing rooms were.
Monica seized her by the hand,
and together they rushed out of
the dressing room and down the
stairs to the wide driveway in front
Of the building.
Frantic Action
Someone had turned a hose on
it. and someone else was throwing
clothes and suitcases out Of the

WHITE SLAVE
CENTER

WHITE girls are lured to foreign

who pose as lovers and promise
marriage when the designated port
is reached. When the girls land
they are forced to walk the streets.
A committee OF experts makes
this sensational report to the
League of Nations Council at
Geneva, Switzerland, which is
studying how the white slave
traffic may be ended in a majority
Of countries.
The report declares that South
and Central America receive the
largest number of white slaves and
that a special boat line is operated
around the Panama Canal to take
care Of the traffic. Girl slaves as
young as IA years walk the streets
of Portugal today, says the COM
