Your Health Depends
On Scientific Lines
BY DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN

Few people realize the Importance Of clothing In
relationship to health and disease.
Human beings living In isolated places under warm
conditions can do without clothing ordinarily, but
they must wear some coverings, If only for the sake
Of modesty. From what we know Of the value Of
sunlight for the human body, there is no more
healthfulness produced from exposing the complete
body to sunlight than exposing all except portions
that might be covered BY a breech clout or diaper.
However. under conditions OF winter. such as ex-
list in most Of the United States. nudism Is neither
comfortable nor healthful. For this reason. human
beings protect themselves from bad weather by hous-
ing and clothing.
The disadvantages Of housing and clothing lie in
the fact that they keep the skin away from fresh air
and sunlight; hence it is advisable for those who are
too constantly covered to obtain an occasional dose
Of artificial sunlight and. by suitable bathing and
airing, to keep the skin In good condition.
You should remember that the ultraviolet rays Of
the sun. when taken in excess. can do as much harm,
Il not more harm. than is developed by avoiding sun
light altogether.
We lose water from the body through the skin.
The body is a self-regulating mechanism and adj
justs itself to the loss OF heat. II Is advisable, there
fore, at Gil seasons to wear next to the skin some
porous, pliabIe material which allows rapid removal
Of moisture from the surface Of the body.
In cold weather. this first covering may be cover
eu py auditlOnal clOTnlng, with as many layers as
necessary for warmth.
For the coolest weather. any material. such as
leather. which permits air to pass through only very
slowly. makes the best body covering. Except for this
outside covering. which holds the layer Of warm air.
clothing should be soft.
In winter, IL Is especially important not TO wear
tight clothing, which will interfere with circulation
OF the blood and cramp the body movements. Eski-
mos and other people who live In the Arctic zone
wear soft, pliable moccasins instead Of the stiff,
heavy shoes worn in the temperate zone.
While 1t is generally conceded that men dress less
hygienically than women, because their clothing Is
heavy and permits OF less circulation Of air, and be-
cause they wear tight collars. carriers. and belts. the
clothing worn by women has other hazards.
Women's shoes are probably the least substantial
and least healthful Of any garments worn.
The second complaint about womens clothing is
the fact that their dresses usually are made Of mate
rial not easily cleaned or washed. and because Of the
sparseness OF their coverings, these materials are IN
almost constant contact with the skin. Investiga-
tons have shown definitely the accumulation OF BAG
terra on such garments, and explain the reason for
infection Of the skin on the backs Of many women.

BUILDING o o AHEAD

Housing Administrator James "A. Moi
felt tells the Middle Atlantic Retail Lum-
bermen's Association that the housing adj
ministration Is laying the groundwork for
such q revival of building construction as
this country has rarely SEEN"
The results TO date have hardly been
spectacular, and one cac only hope that flu
ture developments will be of a kind to full
fill Mr.. Moffett's prediction.
1t Is certain that full recovery waits on a
revival of the building trades; certain,
also, that a tremendous amount of work is
waiting for these trades, If only some way
can be found Of getting it started.
Mr.. Moffett warns that we cannot ex-
pect too much right at first. Ultimately.
he is confident. the long-range program to
reform methods of home mortgage fl
nancing will release a flood of building
orders.

Secretary Of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace believes that the time is coming
when we shall have to revamp our poll
teal machinery to put economic demo-
cracy on the footing of political democra-
cy.
Writing in a recent issue of Golfers
Weekly, Secretary Wallace dips into the
future and foresees a new governmental
sunit, a sort of cross between a presidents
cabinet and a supreme court, existing
across the terms of various administrations
and empowered to sound out public senti-
ment and make decisions on the great eco
nomic issues of the day.
Such unit, he suggests, might consist Of
four councillors representing, respectively,
industry, agriculture, labor and the con-
sumers They would be above class narrow
ness just as the supreme court is above it;
they would hold office for terms of a doz-
en- years or more. so that the council would
not change color with each change of adj
ministration.
Most important, they would be empow-
cred to conduct referenda on vital issues.
Suppose, for example, that the cancella-
ton of war debts, or the wisdom Of GER
tain social planning" schemes for re-em-
ployment. were up for consideration; the
council would poll the country, find out
just what the voters would or would not
stand for. and then order it done.
Now 1t is obvious that such a proposal as
this could not be accepted without years
Of debate and study. The secretary does
not suggest ii as a reform to be adopted
day after tomorrow.
But in the mere fact Of its being adj
vanced there is a significant revelation of
our growing realization that economic
democracy and political democracy are
two separate things. and that machinery
designed to insure the latter does not al
ways gain the former.
When our government was established,
it was political democracy that was all
important. IF a man could be governed
only by laws in whose making he himself
had had a part, he was a free man, and
the freedom thus gained was the only
kind Of freedom worth worrying about.
But the course of events moved out
from under us. If you are a business man,
for instance, or a mechanic, or an ordinary
laborer, your life may be far more de-
pendent OF the decision of some distant

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER "A, 1855

While this is read as an unim- portant day in planetary direction there are adverse aspects active and for this reason all impulsive decisions and actions should be avoided.
 It is an inauspicious sway for be- ginnings, especially in the opening of shops or the starting of factor ies. Strange foreign events are to alter trade, the seers forecast
 Labor continues under sinister omen. It is prophesied that bitter contests between employers and en- ployees will mark the coming weeks. Farmers are to have cause for discontent and again astrologers prognosticate organizations that es- tablish new methods of work and cooperation. Agriculture in the fu- ture is to be conducted on strict business lines.
 This is a lucky rule for advertis- ing and for all forms of publicity. Changes in newspaper management are foretold and two leading pub fishers will close their careers before the new year opens, it is indicated.
 Changes in the Cabinet will cause conjecture in Washington The Ad- ministration is to institute many new startling and far-reaching re- forms.
 A new political party in England will be more successful than a third party in the United States, where old organizations will hc strangely scrambled next year.
 After summer of near-nudism at the beaches American girls arc to assume Victorian modesty in dress and manners, if the stars are rightly read.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of suc- cess that will inspire them to su- preme efforts in whatever work in- terests them.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be difficult to direct. Sub jects of this sign usually lead in stead of follow. They are sagacious and far-seeing and generally reach success.
 John Marshall, jurist and states man, was born on this day 1755. Others who have celebrated i. as a birthday include Mark A. Hanna. politician and Senator, 1857; Zach ary Taylor, twelfth President of the United States, i784.

TRAVEL REFLECTS BUSINESS GAIN.

Definite indication of how the business improve ment wind blows is found in the Alaska tourist report for this season last week by M s. Whittier Assistant Collector of Customs. The cus- toms official reveals that virtually 30000 travellers visited the Territory during the regular tourist sea- and probably that figure will be surpassed by the end of the year. It promises to be the best year since 193O when the mark of 3o231 reached.
 With some, such big game parties, leaving thousands of dollars in the Territory, and all spend ing something if only small amount for souvenirs aside from the actual cost of steamer tickets, the great benefit to business in Alaska be readily seen. Together with the transportation companies, hotels restaurants stores speciality shops, even the newsboys profit as a result of this mammoth tour ist travel to the North
 But what is more significant in the report is the gain in tourist travel in face of the cries from some sources that business is not improving The increase clearly refutes the theory that the nation is tobog- gaming rather than going ahead It costs money to travel and the crowded steamers certainly stress the point that people do have money. People from virtually every walk of life encountered among the tourist throng right here in Juneau, showing that better conditions not confined to any single industry business but must be universally im- proved to allow employers and employees alike to spend hard-earne cash for travel
 There is in the Customs report not only satis- there is an optimistic outlook for the ahead as a result of the gradual but persistent rise in the business barometer.
