Acknowledging
History Proves Excessive
Heat Is Barrier to
Civiliz alton.
BY LAWRENCE TUCKER.

The condition Of the air in which
we live Is undoubtedly one Of the most
important elements Of our environ
ment. It is interesting to consider
the tremendous effect that air condi-
tions have had on the peoples Of the
earth, and possibly no one thing has
had as great an influence on the
course Of civilization. .
Back in the dim past the original
human inhabitants first faced the
problem Of combating heat and cold.
Those that lived in tropical climates
were lucky as far as fighting cold was
concerned, and except for terrific heat
and high humidity they didn't have
lot to worry about. OF course they
were probably uncomfortable, but they
didn't have to bother with clothes or
elaborate houses and could work as
little as they pleased. As q direct
result Of this enervating effect OF high
temperatures and humidities, many OF
these people have remained in q bar
baric or semi-civilized state up to the
present day. They didn't have to do
anything about the weather, hence
nothing much was done about any
thing.
How Weather Helped Greeks.
As we pass into the more temperate
zones, we find that with somewhat
lower temperatures there was in
creased activity. The Greeks, Romans
and other peoples living in those lati-
tudes were not subjected to devitalizine
heat, and yet were not bothered with
extreme cold. They built fine houses
to protect themselves from the wealth
er and fashioned clothing that was
comfortable and practical for those
temperatures, but life was not a cease
less struggle against the elements
They had an ideal climate in which
to engage in creative pursuits.
The cool, fresh air enlivened their
activities and helped them to produce
masterpieces of art and architecture
that required unlimited amounts OF
human energy. That energy would
not have been available II the tenn.
perature had been sitting as 1t Is In
the hotter climes. In addition to in
vigorating air conditions, these people
had more time to spend on literature
i'research. sculpture and other arts In.

pared with 1854 permits issued in
January, 1884, an increase of 1875 per

In comparison with valuation figures
totaling $l,165,179 in January last
year.
Twenty-one Of the 81 reporting
cities showed higher valuation figures
for the 1885 month. Among the five
largest cities, Washington. Richmond,
Norfolk and Charlotte increased. while
Baltimore decreased. Columbia, S. c.,
made the best record in estimated
valuation figures in January, 1885,

taken into consideration.
Contracts awarded in January for
construction work in the fifth district,
including both rural and urban prof.
ects, totaled S10,324. .615, compared
with $31,109, ,468 awarded in January,

contracts totaled $l,873,433, or only
6 per cent of all awards in January.
The report shows that building per-

REALTORS GOING
TO ATLANTIC CITY
National Association Will
Hold Convention There
in October.

Atlantic City has been chosen for
the next annual convention Of the
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards, according to action taken by
the associations Executive Commit
tee. The meeting will be held in Oc-
tober. Headquarters will be the Chal-
fonte -Haddon Hall Hotel.
The Atlantic City meeting will be
the first to be held under new plan
which will bring real estate groups
over the country into closer commune
cation. The plans call for only one
big national gathering Of realtors each
year, supplemented by new-type re-
gional meetings in each geographical
section of the country.
Regional meetings will be held this
Summer and Fall. It Is expected they
will be set up in each case through
Joint action Of the national associa-
ton, the State real estate associations
within the region, and the local host
board. National leaders in the real
estate field will address the regional
meetings. In many cases 1t Is expect
ed state meetings will be held in con-
junction with the regional meeting.
A tentative division of the country
into regions, In each of which the as
sociation is to be represented by a
vice president, is now being studied
by the local member boards Of the
association and by the 36 existing
State and provisional real estate asso-
Citations. Proposed regions have been
set up by the national Board Of Di.
rectors subject to revision at theil
coming Spring meeting upon sugges-
ton from the States. Places and
dates for the first series Of regional
meetings are now under discussion.

COAT OF PAINT ADVISED
TOPRESERVE BUILDINGS
Also Aids in Speeding Up Work
of Employees, Says President
of Paper Company.

According to 8. L. Wilson. presi-
dent of the American Writing Paper
Co., 1t Is the poorest sort Of economy
to let equipment and buildings run
down for the purpose Of saving on
paint bills. Paint applied at proper
intervals adds many years to the life
Of property and effects an appreciable
saving in depreciation charges that
many times offsets the original paint
ing costs.
aside from the purely dollars and
cents considerations, however" says
Mr.. Wilson, there are many prac-
tical reasons for the immediate use
of paint in factory maintenance.
Newly applied paint in the proper
colors is positive factor in the in
creasing of natural illumination, re-
sulting in elimination Of eyestrain,
speeding up Of production and adding
to the physical safety Of employees. A
well-painted factory is always good
advertisement for TIE goods produced,
whether it be foodstufts or ma
chinery."

RESEARCH TO Be PR0BED
Regional Conferences Called Un-

The possibilities of formulating
programs of research, integrated with
the needs of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, will be explored
during the first two weeks in March
at four regional conferences.
Representatives of land-grant col.

REALTY FIRM LAUNCHES
HUGE BUILDING PROGRAM
North Realty Corporation Begins
Construction of so New
Homes.

Maj. E. Brooke Lee, president Of the
North Washington Realty Corpo-
ration, announced that a huge Spring
building program in which it is
planned to erect so new homes
already has been launched.
The sites of the new homes are To-
Gated in Sligo Park Hills, North Hills
of Sligo Park, Sligo Village on Boni-
FAINT street, and South Woodside Park.
A majority of the homes, Maj. Lee
said, are to be moderately priced,
though equipped with modern con-
venienceS.
More interest is now being shown
in houses and building lots than In
any other Spring in the history of our
company" Maj. Lee said. People
seem convinced that this is the time
to buy homes and real estate"

stead Of having to attend to only the
everyday necessities for preserving life.
The people living In colder. more
rugged atmospheres were up against a
real problem. They had to learn how
to build warm, substantial houses that
would protect them from the on
slaught Of icy winds, SHOWS and rains.
It was necessary to wear elaborate
clothing, which involved learning the
arts Of weaving, hide-curing, sewing
and many others. They learned how
to cut down trees, hew timbers and
quarry stone for their buildings. The
mere fact that these people were
obliged to conquer their environment
IN order that they could continue to
live has been reflected in thousands Of
ways and to the present time they are
the most resourceful, energetic folk on
the face Of the earth.

TTOw surgical operations upon the sympathetic
Il Il nervous system have conquered dozen diseases
which heretofore have been both battling and terri
fying. revealed by DR.. Alfred w. AdSon, inter
nationally known neuro-surgeon Of the Mayo Clinic,
Rochester. MINI.
DR.. AdsOn spoke at a symposium upon the sympa-
thetic nervous system at the American Medical As
ISOLATION meeting at Atlantic City, N J.
He discussed operations he and colleagues per-
formed al the Mayo Clinic and revealed these con-
ditionS yielding 10 this new type OF surgery:
Raynauds disease. a condition characterized by
extreme pain and blue color of the hands and feet,
OF the blood vessels, inability to breathe
and abnormal SenSitiveneSS to cold.
Sclerodoma. a disease IN which the skin grows
thick hard and rigid while pgmentized patches APP
pear upon it. Eventually it causes muscular weakness
including the inability to open the mouth or pro-
trude the tongue.
Essential hypephidrosis a condition of excessive
sweating Of the hands and feet often as to
make it impossible for the victim TO engage in any oc-
cupation-
caused by Inflammation OF the blood vessels with the
formation OF cots often neceSstang the amputation
OF arm or leg.
Retinitis pigmentoSs. a disease in which the
tina Of the eye becomes hardened and pigmented.
Essential hypertension or high blood pressure.
A number OF diseases IN which the intestines
the bladder prevented from functionng properly
by muscular Spasms.
A IL Of these conditions DR.. Adson revealed, have
N been successfully treated by operations on the
SYMPATHETIC nervous system. operations which while
extensive are no more dangerous. he said, than an
operation for simple appendicitis.
In each operation. one or more of the sympathetic
nerves cut. Which ones depends upon the par
ticulsr disease and the location of the diseased
condition.
The sympathetic nervous system consists OF
chain OF ganglis on either side of the spinal
column. These nerves lie outside the spinal column
and so are not part Of the central nervous system
although they connect with il.
THE important organs such the heart. lungs,
Il the various ductleSs glands and the blood yes
sels make connections with nerves from the sympa-
thetic nervous system.
The sympathetic nervous system tends to con-
strict the blood vessels. Most OF the diseases men,
toned are characterized by sIch construction and
the release Of this construction accomplished
by severing various sympathetic nerves. DR.. Adson
Indicated.
