SECRETS OF
HE ITH
By DR.. G. A. Z. Reed

TUE great trouble about main.
= tanning proper ventilation
has been, and Is. accurately to
determine when 1t is and when
it is not efficient. We have no
difficulty in testing both the
temperature and the humidity Of
houses, apartments, Pullman cars
and other public vehicles. We
test the temperature BY the ordi-
nary thermometer-in this coun-
try. unfortunately. BY the absurd
Eahrepheit Thermometer instead
Of the vastly more simple and
logical Centigrade instrument. We
test the humidity by the hydrom-
eter. All these instruments and
their findings are important, but
they do not test ventilation. Now,
however, we have what is called
a kata-thermometer, which is de.
signed to fill precisely this want.
1t is so new that have not yet
seen IL, but ii has been used by
Professor Leonard Hill, whose re-
port shows its demonstrated
value and points to its still
greater usefulness.
The ordinary thermometer fails
az q test of ventilation, for 1t
only shows the average effect OF
the temperature of the surround
ing atmosphere upon itself. 1t
cannot measure the results on the
sensitive mucous Innings Of the
respiratory passages, for, unlike
the human body, It does not pro-
duce heat. If a fan is set to blow
upon a thermometer In room
at SIS degrees Fair, the level Of
the thermometer reading does not
change. The body, however, is
very effectually cooled by fan
in such q room. A special Their
nlometer, called the ''kata" ther-
r1ometer, has been invented to
measure these things. I 1t can be
used dry or covered with q wet
muslin net.
The ''wet bulb may be com.
pared with the sweating human
skin. The "kata" does not actu-
ally measure the cooling effect
of the air on the body, for it is
too small to compare accurately
with the large expanse Of skin on
q man, but Is serves az a val.
liable indicator Of comfortable and
invigorating conditions.
In rooms kept fresh and warm
enough for sedentary work the
cooling powers are found to be
about dry and 10 wet on the
kata. In stuffy rooms the figures
might be and Ia instead. In
the cool, fresh ward of a sana-
torium higher readings are OBJ
tanned, for instance 10 and 25.
Out OF doors where the wind
blows, the kata on a genial sum-
mer day would register 20 in a
cool breeze; in a cold winter wind
1t would go up to 40. It has
been found that cooling power
Of the dry kata Of IL or over is
required to increase the heat pro-
duction of person at rest In
ordinary clothing. If the cooling
power is less than this the body
compensates by stopping heat
loss, through closing down the
small blood vessels of the skin.
AS a very large part of the en-
ergy of the food is spent In main.
tanning body heat it is important
to have an adequate cooling

The standard Rule Of Love
DEAL love Is almost as hard to

IL the average man would put
half the energy, and brains into

useful or something brilliant that

genius.
The only drawback to q per-
fectly good, home-brcken husband,
Is that he never gives q woman's
Imagination a chance to work, or
affords her the luxury Of feeling
sorry for herself.
What the predatory female
can't understand Is, that the same
feminism which gave her the

male the right to say, No thanks,

Nowadays, the shortest distance
between two points appears to
be that between mans first
kiss and his last.
The average woman Is so sensi-
tive, that she can fell her mus.
bands eyes boring right through
her new hat to the price-tag in
side the lining.
A woman marries a man to
'save him from himself" but a
man always narries a woman to

Sending a woman candy, these
days, is an awfully subtle way OF
complimenting her on her figure.

 The new service is going to farm ries, memhership-feo libraries, mu- nicipsl, school district, township, community and county llbrarles, and books are being made easily accessible by use of the mail and automobiles Many of the county libraries are making use ot the book automobile" which has re- placed the old horse drawn book wagon" first used In Washington county.

 Wayne t. Mason. assistant agrl- cultural economist of the depart ment of agriculture. in a new bull letln on this educational phase of rural life, describes the book auto- mobile as 'an important adjunct of library service to rural comnlunl- ties. especially in connection with county Libraries"

 In the summer of 1926 Carranza attempted 10 fly with stops from Chicago 10 Mexico City, using a small plane, He had bad luck, A forced landing in a storm near Ok lahon1a City damaged the plane and put Carranza in a hospital for about six weeks. Recovered and the plane repaired he continued to Mexico but was forced down again near Mon terey with the plane SO damaged l that he had to abandon the flight.
 He was married in Sonora about three months ago
 IL was revealed today that Col onel Lindbergh himself contributed o.5oo pesos (about s1,ooo) to finance the flight which was made by pop ular subscription. The colonel asked that the contribution be kept secret but the bankers handling the fund, revealed it this morning. Carranza's farewell message was: Best regards of the Mexican press and people 10 the press and people of the United States
 There had been some fear that he would have difficulty in taking off with his heavy load of gasoline be- cause of Mexico City's high altitude, but the plane took the air without difficulty.
