SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Q. A. u. Reed

VoU. especially II one o. my
readers Iii the vast cotton
manufacturing areas OF the
United states, ought to know 4
few important facts about the
state OF health among the opera
lives IN that Industry These
facts furthermore illustrate pritl.
ciples Of factory hygiene ia other
industries.
Although the health OF cotton
workers AZ whole il steadily
improving they still show an alb
normal tendency to bronchitis,
pneumonia, pIeurisy. rheumatism
Influenza, colds, tonsilitis and
digestive troubles.
This susceptibility to q GER
tain class of aiIment is due to
the peculiar conditions Of humid
ity and temperature under which
cotton must be handled Since
man and machine work together
/ In confined space, it Is essen
tiaI for the health OF the workers
that some arrangement be made
to make the atmospheric condi-
lions suitable for workman and
work alike.
Spinning, As pointed out by W.
r. Deurden, requires a high tens
perature. which must be main
tanned at the same level through
out the year. The fibers contain
wax, which must be softened II
they are to be rendered pliable.
Coarse Counts need tempera-
ture of IS to so degrees F., and
fine counts" IS to 80 degrees
r, The air must also be kept
ct q certain degree Of dampness.
for dry air makes the t1bers
brittle and interferes with their
twisting properties. About 6O
per cent humidity for fine counts
and SIS per cent for coarse IL the
limit.
weaving. however, requires 9
greater humidity, one of about 90
per cent. The temperature, &C.
cording to some authorities. need
not rise above 20 degrees Fl. for
efficient work, but in practice
rises higher owing to the demand
for steam.produced humidity for
cheap work, especially when the
steam issues from uncovered
pipes. Wyatt 1929 supports the
popular view that the higher the
temperature and humidity the
more efficient the process, stating
that his Investigations gave n
temperature of 70 to IS degrees
F.. and humidity of so to 50 per
cent as the ideal.
The opinion of manufacturers
vary. however, and we need an
exhaustive series of experiments
to establish what are actually the
hest atmospheric conditions from
the manufacturing point of view
for yarns of all kinds.
The mechanism by which the
human body regulates its temper
ature depends entirely on evapor'
alton of moisture from the skin,
and the damper the atmosphere
the slower the evaporation.
