Sciences efforts to enable homes to

are heated in Winter are guided by the
familiar slogan, 1T isn't the heat; it's

Reducing the humidity Is the impor-
tant thing In making buildings COM

the United States Bureau of Standards
said today. II the humidity Is lowered
considerably, the temperature has to be
reduced only slightly. Homes of the

and cooling it little.

letting in cold air In Winter. But the
outside air will be excluded not so
much because it's hot as because It's
damp.
Evaporation Necessary.
Evaporation of perspiration is sup
posed to keep people cool in hot
weather. II the air contains nearly all
the water it can hold howevef--that Is.
