MOST PEOPLE LIVE IN VARIABLE CLIMB
Survey Shows This Probably
 Most Healthiul

Washington, Dec. g. CPl-The ma jorlty of the worlds population lives in the hemisphere where man must submit to the widest variations in temperature.
 The Northern Hemisphere, Dr. W. J. Humphreys of the United States Weather Bureau explained experiences much more radical changes in temperature as between seasons than the Southern Hemi- sphere because most of the world s land Is north of the Equator.
 Land absorbs heat from the sun more quickly than water. but when the rays are withdrawn and pro- iected at an angle, as they are in winter. 1t also cools more quickly. Great bodies of water gather heat more slowly and retain 1t longer. Further, many of the mighty cur rents which flow up and down and across the oceans are, at one point or another, usually catching the direct rays of the sun. Moving slowly, they carry the water thus warmed into cooler attitudes.
 Although many parts of the Northern Hemisphere are made habitable by this condition, & small CT proportion of the northern con- tinents are close to water than is the case in the Southern Hemi- sphere. So the ocean temperature south of the Equator exercises q relatively stronger stabllizing in- fluence on the land temperature.
