to the skin from the internal circula-
| ton.
Because clothing impairs the func-
ton Of this automatic heat control sys-
tenn 1t is good practice for everybody
to take advantage of every opportunity
to dispense with all clothing, be 1t hot
or cold weather. This habit, I believe,
Is far more healthful than the cold
morning tub, sponge or shower bath
habit. Not because I am constitutions
ally opposed to the wet wash, but be-
cause I think man is a mammal and
| not fish and that's why he finds
cold air bath delightful or at least not
unpleasant, whereas cold water dip
is often real torture. Indeed, it is be-
cause the wet wash is SO very formi-
dable that many cultivate this habit
They reason that the cold water treat
ment, like castor oil for Johnny's ache,
must be good because it is so unpleas-
ant Remember, we're discussing only
the hygienic side of the question, not
the eSthetic side. However convenient
the wet wash method of removing CRIME
or filth may be, nakedness or air bath
ing If you please, is practice that is
hygienic and healthful for everybody.
If We ever do achieve nakedness again,
or even something akin to it-as a COM
mon custom, 1 mean, not just fad or
fashion-it will be boon to the physi-
cal welfare of the race Experiment a
little along this line and see for yourself
what possibilities there are in it? Have
you any kind of foot trouble? Go bare
footed awhile every day, out of doors
particularly, and notice, first, how the
11ninhhnrc fnln rJfit
and second, what benefits your feet and
your general health derive from the
practice Then try to conceive what it
would be like if We could go back to
Adam and Eve in the matter of dress.

Frills and Flounces i'm New Clothes
BY MARY MARSHALL.
hat not for years have dresses been so

that not for years have dresses been so
flattering.
Decidedly the tide has turned, and it
has turned in the direction Of greater
femininity, to use term that has al
ready become rather trite, but that con-
veys the new note better than anything
else.
More closely nodded bodices, higher
waist lines, longer skirts, are no longer
mere possibilities. They are actual facts
which must be faced this Autumn and
Winter by every woman who cares to
follow fashion. That advantages are to
be gained by this change in the current
of fashion no one who sees the new
clothes can gainsay. They are harder
to wear because they are more intricate,
but easier to wear because they are more
generally becoming.
One thing that is apparent to the
new fashions is that there will be more
marked differentiation between the diff
ferent types of clothes than there has
been for some time. Sports clothes will
be worn just long enough to cover the
bend of the knee. Street clothes and
simple daytime things will be 3 inches
below the knee, with longer dresses for
afternoon, and evening clothes that
swathe the ankles or actually trail on
the floor.
This weeks circular gives pattern for
a child's cloth or velvet hat made in six
sections sewed together. If you would
like copy, please send a stamped. self
addressed envelope to Mary Marshall,
care of this paper, and it will be for
warded to you at once.

Burning the Candle.

The electric light couldn't shine I'M
less the current came in at one end
and out at the other. We burn the
current at both ends and might do the
same with the candle If we used such
an old-fashioned method of lighting.
1t seems that some things work better
when there are two kinds of activity
going on at the same time. People go
insane oftener from monotony than
from excitement. In the small town
and on the farm there used to be quite
lot of this mania from monotony but
the telephone and radio are saving us
from the asylum.
You burn your candle at both ends
when you indulge in work and play in
attenuation, like those alternating cur
rents of electricity. Those who are en-
gaglng in an excess of work can be
saved by judicious amount of play,
while while those who lead lives of leisure
with It's pleasurable diversions need a
certain amount of good hard work.
IL Is good thing to have the play
ground with the school. It Is wise when
2 factory has recreation rooms and
Fairgrounds for its employees. For work
ana play go hand in hand, One is
forced activity, the other is a free mode
OF action on the part of body and brain.
But the present mode of burning the
S'hoiS at tIle OCIler enQ is not so good
since it consists largely in tickling the
nerves with various means of artificial
pleasure. We see this chiefly in the
movies, which provide the principal
means OF diversion in these busy davs.
II people were leading quiet lives the
way they used to do, the stimulation
OF the screen might do them good. but
when they are up on the toes most of
the time, 1t doesn't help to stand them
ON their heads in thriller of a show,
PerhapS your great need is in ayoca-
tion TO go along with your vocation. A
side line can help the main line as well
as switch regulates travel on a track.
A show. dance, book may be of
some value as recreation, but 1t is
better to have some solid interest to
counterbalance the weight Of work.
You might find side line by culti-
vating just one author until you had
made him your own. Then, like a
woman I know. you evan say 1T know
my Shakespeare" You may prefer
something a little lighter and more
modern, but still you can specialize
with your writers.
Or little art gallery of pictures and
prints which represent what the best
painters have done in the last 500 years
would give satisfaction and conduce to
culture. But the main thing is to have
an interest of your own 50 that the
candle of life may burn brightly at the
other end.

Human Radiator.


Although the evaporation Of water
from the surface is a real factor in the
cooling of the body in very hot or
humid weather, this Is by no means the
chief way In which the surplus body
heat is disposed Of. Ordinarily the total
amount of heat given OF by the body
is lost as follows:
BY radiation and conduction
from the skin. n...............7 73 %
BY evaporation from the skin. 14.5%
BY evaporation from lungs. ..... 7.2B
BY warming of expired air.. $50
Through other excretions. ...... 1870
From this table it is obvious that
when person sits at rest in a room
where there Is moderate temperature
and humidity he loses half as much
heat through vaporization of moisture
from the lungs as he does through
evaporation of sweat, visible or invisible.
The proportion of heat dissipated
through radiation is smaller when sur
rounding temperature is high, and nat
urally the amount of heat lost through
sweating increases when the atmos-
pheric temperature Is high.
The function of the skin as a radiator
is greatly influenced by the kind of
clothing worn. Clothing of any kind
tends to diminish heat loss by conduc-
ton and radiation and to increase
sweating at the same time. Some
clothing interferes with the evaporation
of moisture. Some clothing rather aids
the evaporation of moisture. This de-
pends on the material, the weave and
the thickness of the clothing
There is still another factor of even
more importance than clothing in con-
trolling heat loss. The sweat nerves
and the vasomotor nerves of the skin
have an automatic reflex control of the
amount of sweat excreted through the
skin and the amount of warm blood sent
