HENRY IRVING'S BIRTH

hLINR1 IN F1ING > OAE 4 II
February s
NN Feb. 6, 1888, Sir Henry Irving,
~ great English actor, whose real
hame was John Brodribb, was born
in Somerset, England.
He began his career at the age Of
10. For ten years he played in va
rious provincial stock companies,
acting in more than five hundred
parts. Soon after he joined the
company Of the newly opened
Queens theater, where he acted
with Ellen Terry and other distin-
guished performers.
He made his first conspicuous sue
cess in 1.-THE Two Roses" which ran
for 300 nights.
He gained great distinction In his
Shaeksperean performances through
his Interpretation Of Hamlet and
Shylock.
The dignity with which he invest
ed Shylock marked departure from
the traditional Interpretation Of the
role.
When Irving undertook the man
agement Of the Lyceum theater, he
made new improvements and deVel-
opments In the art of stage setting.
In 1895, ten years before his death,
Irving received the honor Of knight
hood, the first ever accorded an
actor. He was buried in Westmin-
stex Abbey. -

We don't believe Vanderbilt ever rode in Mussolinis
rumble seat, much less beside him as his guest in a
cross-country automobile tour but it would be a
thrill to see Vanderbilt testify in something besides
a divorce suit.
For this alone we should like to see him on
the witness stand.
GHOULD Vanderbilt testify and then should the

But it is likely the court-martial viii refuse to

: DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

winter months is about Is per cent.
That is to say, at 70 degrees the
air contains only about Is per cent
Of the water 1t could contain. To
have the maximum Of health and
comfort, the air should contain
about twice this amount.
To get a relative humidity Of so
per cent, rooms heated to 20 de-
grees will require the daily evapo-
ration of from five to thirty gal
ions of water.
All sorts of methods have been
devised for getting this amount of
water into the air. The simplest
method, of course, is the pan OF
water with a wick, which may be
placed on the radiator.
It is also possible to evaporate the
water without the wick, but it does
not evaporate so rapidly. Several
humidif1ers are manufactured which
may be placed on the radiators and
which contain cloth layers along the
sides which serve the purpose of
aiding the evaporation of the water.
In addition to having moisture
outside the body, it is desirable to
have sufficient moisture inside the
body to respond to the dryness.
If the human being will drink
eight glasses Of water each day he
will have a sufficient amount of
water to take care of the func-
tons Of the kidney and to provide
for evaporation from the skin.
It is particularly important for
the infant and the child to be
surrounded with proper tempera-
ture and humidity during the
winter months.
During these months, children
suffer more with coughs, colds,
pneumonia, bronchitis and other
respiratory diseases than do adults.
In many cases the adult suffers
from cold in the head. A severe
case Of this is called the grip;
if many people have 1t at the same
time, the condition is known as
epidemic influenza.

History Repeats

Many Of the failures. defalcations and disasters
of the business world today which discourage enter

habits OF speculation which always attend and follow
great war.

become rich, not by industry and economy in ones
own regular business, but by speculation. But the
man who speculates is gambler, and gambler is one

Creation of Wealth

DERPLExING questions which
l. face the world at large also are
bothering the engineer, DR.. Finn
reveals. He continues:
"Are those who truly Greats
wealth receiving a just share in
comparison with those who boast
OF making money and of hiring
engineerS?'
How can youngsters with eng1-
neering aptitudes be discovered early
enough for their best individual
training with least waste of years
and dollars?
How can graduates be placed In
employment or launched into prac-
tice, to best advantage for all con-
cerned?
1.-THE American Society of Me.
chanical Engineers is starting a re-
search, or survey, of its members,
which Is expected to yield facts,
when skillfully studied by the re-
search men. This will answer some
Of these questions with fair approxi-
nation.
Other national societies are likely
to undertake similar researches as
soon as the technique shall have
been developed by the pioneer.
Indeed, some such studies are in
progress. The Engineering Foun-
dalton is studying the education
problems, with the aid Of a COM
mittee having for chairman Presi-
dent Harvey N. Davis of Stevens
Institute of Technology.
Fortunately the engineering So
cieties already have an instrument
tally that can serve them jointly
in this province of humanics, the
Engineering Foundation.
"The founder, Ambrose Swasey,
and the wise men who aided him In
setting it up, foresaw the human as
well as the technical needs of engi-
neers and therefore gave the foun-
dalton a broad charter.
TITS functions comprise not alone
the furtherance Of research in sci.
ence and engineering" but also "the
advancement in any other manner

Improper Home Heating Causes Colds

With influenza already reported In
many cities and threatening others The
Times herewith begins a series of three
articles by DIR. Fishbein on how to avoid
this malady and its greatest contribu-
tory cause. the common cold. The arti-
Giles were written by DR.. Fshbein
especially for this newspaper and NEA
Service.
BY DR.. MORRIS FTSHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of che American Medical
Association and of Hygeia. the Health
MAGAZINE.
TNHE most favorable temperature
l. for health eor the average man
varies apparently with the climate
to which he has been accustomed.
In the temperate zone, we seem to
do exceedingly well with fairly
moderate temperatures, such as
occur In spring and fall, but must
adjust ourselves to the extreme
conditions that develop in the sum-
mer and in the winter.
Winter requires more adjustment
than summer. Professor Hunting
ton of Yale believes that the
weather is responsible for from
$4,000 to 100000 deaths every year.
The most severe months appar-
emily are February, March and early
April, the period in which pneu-
monia following colds is most
prevalent. Furthermore, the winter
months seem to deprive the human
being of many of the healthful
factors available in other seasons.
The normal human being has a
temperature Of 98.6 and his body
seems to function best in a tenn
perature of from IS to 70 degrees
Fahrenheit. 1t is difficult to main
tain this temperature in rooms dur
ing the winter months. Overheating
dries out the body and puts the mu-
cous membranes in condition in
which it is difficult for them to re-
siSt the onslaught Of infection.
Unfortunately, few homes are
regulated properly so far as con-
Germs moisture. The average hui
nudity in most homes during the
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-02-06

In addition to keeping the air
at a proper temperature and mois-
ture, it is desirable to get a GER
tain amount of fresh air into the
home regularly.
Most people have become accus-
toned to sleeping with windows
open widely during the summer
months. 1t is not necessary, how
ever, to open the windows so widely
during the winter months, but =
free circulation of a certain amount
Of fresh air is healthful.
1t is well to remember that a per-
son can stand great deal Of bad
weather provided he is properly pro-
tected against it. Hence the COW
ers should be definitely related to
the amount Of cold that is likely
to be present before morning.
One Of the dangers is that per-
son will go to bed at night rather
lightly covered because of the fact
that the room is warm, and that as
1t gets colder toward morning the
covers are not easily available.
Then he will lie and SILVER rather
than get additional covers to supply
suitable warmth.
The best advice that a physician
can give when one gets bad cold
or influenza is to go to bed as soon
as possible and stay in bed as long
as the symptoms are acute.
This certainly helps shorten and
will some times ward of an attack.
The physician can prescribe for a
patient under these circumstances
and make him much more comfort
able by use of remedies which will
make him feel warm, quiet the
pains, control the fever and help
the discomfort of the nose and
throat.
The danger Of a cold is not so
much in the cold itself as in the
complications which affect the
bones, joints, lungs, ears, and other
parts Of the body.

Engineers Must Eliminate
Hardship the Machine Age
Has Wrought, Doctor De-
cldres.
A NEW branch Of research, for
n which the name 'humanics" Is
suggested, is urged by DR.. Alfred
D Finn, director Of the Engineer
ing Foundation. DR.. Finn feels that
the hardships which have been in
cidental to scientific progress make
this necessary.
He feels that development of the
machine must be made an unmixed
blessing, and not blessing to some
and a curse to others.
ut soon must cease to be possible
for any person to say or think hon
estly that the great blessings OF
science and engineering are even
temporarily a curse to himself or
any one else. because OF the ways
in which they are introduced into
industry and business" DR.. Finn
asserts.
ct is not sufficient to aim our
researches only at physical applica-
tons Of the natural sciences.
These worthy endeavors must be
supplemented by earnest, effective
Investigations to guide our en-
cheering organizations in helping
to solve the grave sociological gov
ernmental and international prob
lens created partly by the achieve
ments of engineers"

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I wish to relate an
amusing CD incident that happened
recently.
After driving around a certain
block several times in search of a
parking space, we observed a car
vacating a space right off the alley.
We were going south and the space
was the first south of the alley. We
had stopped to let the car out, and
then we pulled right into the space
At the time car was double
parked a couple Of spaces ahead,
but we took no special notice of it.
Then Mr.. Officer 652 came up and
demanded to know why we pulled
into the space the way we did. He
informed us that the city ordinance
requires that you back into space.
He also said that the man in the
car parked double had been await
ing half an hour and should have
had the space.
My! He certainly was hard boiled.
In the first place, I would con-
slider any one feeole-minded who
would run forward and then back
into space such as that. Second
the officer was not attending strictly
to duty, or he would not have al
lowed the other car to have parked
double the half hotr he said it had.
apparently he was stationed there
for that purpose.
It seems we should have ap-
preached the gentleman in the
other car, informed him of the
space, and gone mernly on our way
to find another.
would like to suggest that few
lessons in courtesy would greatly
improve some Of our police officers.

mere suggestion of a daily
stint totaling five or six hours. But
some of the points brought up

this complaint rests upon "drat IT,

to a vocal tone?
