supply of air fulfilling certain min- imun conditions or he will die.
 Even a century ago it was be- lieved that air could carry some mysterious agent of destruction which was called miasm. It was be- ]ievcd to be a poison gas that arose from marshes.
 As human beings in a room breathe the air and cXhale the ma terials developed in the body the composition of the air in the room gradually changes. Whereas the nor nal air IS almost wholly oxygen and nitrogen the breathing of the human rcing gradually adds to this carbon dioxiGe and slightly increases the amount of nitrogen, while the oNy- gen is being considerably decreased At the same time the humlilty changes through the evaporation ot moisture from the body; the tem- pcraturc is brought nearer to that ot the body, and occasional germs and droplets of moisture from the body containing germs get into the air. In the past great importance was attached to the chemical changes that talk place: to the increase Tn carbon dioxide and to the lesscning Of oxygen. We now know that the amount of carton dioXidc produced and the amount of oxygen removed are not significant, since the former is not sufficient 10 poison and since the latter is quite sufficient for sus- taining life in the vast majority of
New Britain herald., 1929-08-21

The oxygen in the air must tall below 1S.5 Of ar atmosphere be-. fore the breathing center is af- fected. Frederick has pointed out that the Mount Everest expedition of 1922 and 1924 showed that after acclimatization men can live TOT days at an altitude of 23,oO0 feet here the oxygen pressure is 90 per cent of an atmosphere and can per form muscular work at 26,VOo rect The physologist Dubois asserts tha' if the oxygen is gradually reduced at normal pressure the majority ol men will not faint until the percent age falls to between six and nine pei cent, though some weaker indiVld uals may die before this pcrcentae is reached.
 The sensation associated with ba ventilation is rot die to the chem ical composition of the air The most important considerations ar temperature and humidity. To main- tain itself comfortably the body must continuous lose heat since Il is continuously producing heat. II loses heat by evaporation of water from the surface. The most import ant influence in promoting the loss of heat is the amount of water m the air that surrounds the body Characterised as humidity and the rate of movement of the air. The movement of the air dispcrses the envelope of hot humid air that sur rounds the human being between Iii. 1.lnt hos and his Sl.in.

THI. GANG
By ALICE HUDSON PEALE

By ALICE HUDSON PEALE
 There comes a time in the deyel- opment of every right minded boy when he prefers the toughness Of his gang to all the refining influences of home.
 He likes to be dirty He slouches, He learns to spit with accuracy. He uses language. Girls are skirts and beneath serious notice. Tho fellows, the baseball game, the big doing3 of the gang loom as all i'm portant.
 It is an age when one keeps se- crets from father and mother, when home is a place where one eats ana sleeps, but the vacant lot and the barn are the seat of all living.
 The years of allegiance to tn" gang mark a definite stage in the growing up process. It cannot be skipped; it must be lived. The more thoroughly you allow your boy 10 live through it, the more likely he is to get over it quickly.
 It is period to be understood and endured. You can do little to modi- fy the eHtremcncss of the particular case. The best policy is to wait and hope and try to keep your boy s confidence. Don't criticise tho gang. Invite the members in now and then They won't want to come often and they won't stay long, but it is worthwhile keeping on friend | ly terms with them.
 Tn one or two years your boy very likely will be dandy You will be complaining. not of his dirty finger nails. hut of his eXtravagancf in tics. You will be troubled not by his disregard of ordinary man ncrs, but by his obvious cmbarrass- mant over your own slips from the | rulings in thes book of etiquct. Girls and "datcs' will form T | large share of his leisure time pur. suits and then you will sigh for tn dear old days of the dirty hard i boiled baseball gang.
