Climate for Efficiency
(New York Times

(New York Tmes)
 Since time immemorial men have been interested in climate and it's effects human activity. The recent report by Prof David Brunt before the Royal Institution offered conclusions that may surprise the
 ayman who considers himself something of author ity on weather. Professor Brunts summary of his extensive investigations is largely concerned with the matter of an ideal cmate-the environment in which man can function at his physical and intellectual peak of efficiency.
 According to the report the ideal climate is in which lightly clothed man can walk four miles an hour without sweating if he chooses, sit in the shade without shvering. This ideal situation is best if the temperature is about 67 degrees Fahrenheit and the relative humidity approxmatey 60 per cent Another student of the problem, Major S. L. Markham has reported that a world map of annnal mean temperature the 70 degrees sotherm passes through the centers of early civilization: Egypt Palestine Assyria Sumera, Persia and the Valley of the Indus This is approximately the right climate for nude man. according to Professor Brunt and historians are in general agreement that in the days of dawnlng civilization human beings wore very little clothing
 But since an annual mean temperature means heat in and cold in winter indoor heating was deVe- oped As that practice spread civilization began to expand. Professor Brunt finds that flor healthy and active life the climate must be such that the mean temperature of the hottest month shall not exceed 7 degrees Fahrenheit while the coldest month of the year shall not be cold that becomes o1cut or expensive to maintain comfortable temperature indoors" Of course, quite few human beings are getting along where there is some difficulty ana expense in winter heating. Perhaps some day his torian will write history of the in terms of its heating equipment. Outdoor fire at the cave mouth fireplace in the log cabin Franklin oil stove kitchen range parlor burner and oil stove-a have played role in tanning climate man has spread the range of his activities Perhaps some day we shall learn to control outside climate have indoor conditions Until that time human beings on major part ot the worlds surface will struggle along with their evolved mnedimenta hats overcoats gloves rubbers galoshes raincoats and umbrellas.

that about 9 per cent of all goods being shipped to the Philippines now finds it's way into the black market.
 In September and October alone, military and native police were able to recapture about $l,000,000 worth of U. S.-owned goods which black marketeers had stolen.
 The black market abSorbs every thing from trucks to fountain pens, from pistols to radios Cigarettes, milk, clothing and typewriters all sell at premium Theft insurance in Manila now costs more than any place in the world
 The Daily Pacifician, the GI. Western Pacific newspaper, tells of one typical case taken from police files which shows GI.'s and civil Hans working together in a black market ring. The Pacifician has done as much as anyone to expose black marketeering.

Eddie Cantor, ribbing President Truman before the National Press Club dinner the other day, let loose this one:
 of late, our President has been visiting the Supreme Court with increasing frequency. People wonder why. Must be big government problems, they figure.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not cOmpet'
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2a

Benefic aspects rule today which should be favorable for labor inter ests. especially those concerned with the building industry.
 HEART AND HOME
 This is an suspicious date for be- ginning any important task. It is lucky for whatever pertains to the refurnishing or improvement of the home. The stars seems to encourage women to cater to the men Of the family who will appreciate, as never in the past, the comforts and luxur- ies of the American mode of life.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Demand in this nation for the technically trained and well educat- ed to help rehabilitation abroad will be so insistent that there is danger of serious loss to Uncle Sam. Able young folk will be much needed here and will prosper most by staying at home, it is forecast.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 United States Negroes continue under aspects which promise pro gress and good fortune. They will be more widely distributed as resi- dents than ever before and will meet housing problems. Elimination of prejudice is forecast after unpleas- ant incidents resulting from race consciousness.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Pluto and Mars in threatening as pect in the chart of Buenos Aires warn that Argentina will remain problem to the United Nations. There is a sign read as presaging double dealing which will be expos ed soon.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of changes. Many American Sagittarians will be stationed in Europe next year.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be highly imaginative and remarkably talented. They should be carefully guided and trained for accuracy.

WAR CONTRACTS PROBE

Congressman Andrew Jackson May of Kentucky has been ex- hibiting unusual interest in a case before the Mead Committee. He has been urging Senators not to proceed with their investigation of the Erie Basin Company and it's lush war contracts.
 Senator Mead's Investigators have been probing reports that this almost unknown company received S36,0O0,000 in war orders, though operating on a shoe string. At first the company refused to show its books. Finally, Mead investigators went to Chicago to examine the books, probably will bring them back to Washington.
 Congressman May has urged members of the committee to lay off. The other day his friend, Sen. Alben Barkley, joined him in the request. It remains to be seen whether congressional courtesy or public interest will win out.

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Washington is getting right back to it's old pre-war cat-and-dog- fight social protocol days. When Chip Roberts gave a dinner last week. there were indignant whis- pers about his error in seating the honored guests. He put Mrs. May bank, wife of the Senator from South Carolina. on his right, and Representative Clare Luce of Con- necticut on his left. Protocal, &C., cording to dowagers, should have reversed this seating, since Mrs. Luce is a member of Congress in her own right, while Mrs. May bank is only the wife of a Senator. Friends are booming able "Chet" Bohlen to be the new U. S.. Ambassador to Moscow. Bohlen speaks Russian perfectly, acted as interpreter for Roosevelt and Tru- man with Stalin. However, the Russians are suspicious. Among other things he is a cousin of the  Krupp von Bohlens, famous Ger man munitions family. :. Sumner Welles may be out of the State Department, but his home is the quiet rendezvous of visiting international bigwigs. The Presi- dent of Chile motored out to lunch with Welles during his official visit. Lost week, State Department Counselor Ben Cohen, Australian Foreign Minister Eyatt, plus the Mexican Ambassador and Secretary of Commerce Wallace gathered at Welles home to concoct political medicine with Senators McMahon of Connecticut, Fulbright of Ar kansas, Ball of Minnesota and La- Toilette of Wisconsin.
