THE GOOD
DESERT
By Dr.. Ford A. Carpenter

February, which is the worst
month in the year in America, is
spring month on the desert. The
temperatures average so degrees.
During the day the mercury climbs
upwards to between TO and 30 de-
grees and at night drops to an
average of AZ. In times past maxi
mum temperature was SO was regis
tered and frost temperatures are
not unusual. The lowest tempera-
ture ever recorded was %.
Those wishing warm, moist cli-
mate should go to the West Indies
or the tropics, for the desert in
February is dry, hot during the
day and cool at night. The average
relative humidity at u noon is %.
Sunshine is almost continuous: dur
ing the daylight hours IS per cent
of the time the sun shines. AT
Los Angeles SO per cent of the
time the sun is in evidence and 81
per cent at San Diego.
In the matter of rainfall, while
it is the WetteSt month in the year,
less than an inch is deposited and
that upon an average of two days.
The wind averages half a dozen
miles an hour and there have been
Februarys when the wind was very
brisk.
Wise physicians will urge their
bronchitis patients to migrate to
the desert; there they will be re-
lieved of their hacking cough al
most overnight. If "basking in the
sun" is part of the prescription
people should confine such expos
ure between 10 in the morning and
in the afternoon; before and after
these hours the winds are cold.
1t should not be forgotten that
It IS not only the superior climatic
factors. such as low atmosphere
moisture, warm days, abundant
sunshine, but it is the change from
routine and the bodily relaxation
that desert life gives and gives
abundantly.
