Speaking before the Chicago meeting of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers, Prof. OL E. A. WInslow and L. P. Ilerrlngton, director and assistant director, respectively, of the laboratory, told of their fifteen months of study to determine if there Is any relation between factors of climate and a person's reaction as to the pleasantness or unpleasantness of the outdoor atmosphere. Taken From Records. Weather records, the votes of ttie test volunteers and the absence records of the school children and business workers furnished the data from which the following conclusions were obtained : 1. The weather is more likely to be pronounced pleasant In fall and winter with decreased temperature, but shows no such relation In spring and scummer. 2. The Judgment of pleasantness Increases very markedly with decrease in relative humidity. 3. It Increases still more markedly with Increase of sunshine. 4. It increases with rising barometer. 5. It Increases with a decrease In total ions In the air. Explaining Ions. The last point, the Ion content of the air. Is the most obscure Item on the above list. The Ions are mole cules of atmospheric gases which have become electrically charged. The presence of such ions per mits, among other things, the pass age of lightning strokes. The Ions, too, can help create what Is known as a "live" atmosphere instead of a "dead" one. The latter may best be described as the kind of nlr one finds in a room closed tightly for some time. Some Investigators have maintained that air without a normal Ion content (7.000 to to each cubic centimeter) is less invigorating than otherwise. The air's Ion content, from Professor Winslow and Mr. Harrington's .findings, ranks third in the physical factors present when one judges a day to be "pleasant" The amount of sunshine and relative humidity both rank before It DETROIT. Trench mouth, which plagued the doughboys in France, threatens to become one of the diseases that are always with us, or as scientists say, endemic in this country, Dr. Don Chalmers Lyons of Jackson, Mich., declared here at the meeting of the Society of Bacteriologists, Pathologists and Allied Workers of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Carriers, that is, persons who have trench mouth without knowing It, and Improperly cleaned beverage glasses are the means by which this disease Is spreading. Doctor Lyons stated. lie quoted Impressive figures to show the Increase In cases of this disease within recent years. Spreads in Washington. "In the state of Washington, where it is classed as a common communicable disease and according to law reportable within 24 hours to county and city health officers, there were seven cases reported In 19.11 and 313 In 1934; a tremendous Increase from a percentage standpoint," Doctor Lyons cases were resaid. "Ninety-fivported In Illinois in 1931 and 7.18 in 1934 or a 7(H) per cent increase. Eight hundred and eighty cases were reported In upstate New York in 1931 and 1,733 in 1934, or more :han 100 per cent Increase. One can safely say that if all cases were reported the figures would be even more impressive." Doctor Lyons and other scientists have examined glasses as they came back from customers in beverage dispensing establishments and also as they hung on the rack, supposedly clean, nnd ready for use. They found many of the "germs" of trench mouth on the rims of both dirty and clean glasses. Chronic Cases Are Danger. The chronic stage of the disease is the most Important from the public health standpoint, Doctor The organisms or Lyons said. "germs" that cause it are apparently not normally found In the mouth but they may get Into the gums and propagate there without causing much discomfort to the patient The latter does not realize he has the disease, does not have and unsuspectingly It treated, passes on the organisms to susceptible persons who may then suffer from the acute stage of the disease. e 12,-00- 0 Canadian Says We Are Raising Fine Crop of Physical Degenerates ARE raising a crop of and it will be of a time when our matter only WE British Doctors Report citizenry will be composed of physical degenerates. Success With Doses of Cold Vaccine Weekly LONDON. Keep a bottle of common cold vaccine in your bedroom. Once a week throughout the winter swallow a dose at night on an empty stomach. This advice for protecting yourself against colds and influenza Is given by Drs. David Thomson, Robert Thomson and E. T. Thomson of St. Paul's hospital here. It Is based on their researches on oral vaccine for colds and influenza which they report to the British Medical Journal. Doses of the cold vaccine taken this way since September gave protection against colds and Influenza In spite of considerable exposure to these diseases, they report The vaccine does not produce toxic effects provided It Is not taken more than once a week. The vaccine used Is made up of Pfelffer's bacillus, pneumococcl, streptococci and another nose and throat "germ" known as M. Serious colds and influenza are.

Black of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. It was inspired by watching a procession of school children and their teachers during a jubilee celebration. While these were Canadian children, there is probably not so great a difference between children It Canada and children In the United States but that Doctor Black's observations should stimulate Interest in physical education anion? American as well as Canadian parents and educators. Few Know How to Breathe. h Not more than of th children and teachers In that parade knew how to breathe, walk oi stand correctly, Doctor Black observed. At least every third child was out of step, indicating a lack of thnt sense of rhythm "which is so essential to efficiency In more than one walk of life." A large proportion of chronic diseases, some types of arthritis, many digestive disturbances, circulatory troubles and nervous disorders are due to poor body mechanics, Doctor Black contends. Even those who lead outdoor lives are open to the charge of not caring properly for their body machines or using them properly. Farmers Lack Chest. "The average farmer or worker," Doctor Black says, "will show yon a beautifully mus cled back and In most cases no front chest to balance It which means diminished heart and lung room, and In nine out of ten cases that back will not have, more than f0 per cent of the range of movement It should have."

Organized labor presents a building program of $o00,000,000 to occupy the Idle building trades. If money holds out, and the Inflation bonds keep their value, this will be remembered as the building age. A young man Is the new English king. After seeing the new giant Cunarder named for his mother, walking seven miles up and down In it, he visited the slums of Glasgow, called the worst and "reddest" In England. Some ultra "left wing" city councilors refused to be presented to him. "That's perfectly all right," said the king. "Tell them I'll come and have tea with them Instead." This lie did. Two thousand ship workers cheered and called him "Good Old Teddy." The king, who visited Individual tenements, knocking nt the doors, patting babies on the head, keeps up with the times. No English king did that before. level-heade- d There are different ways of handling strikes, depending on public officials. At Akron, Ohio, a strike of milk drivers disturbs consuming families and producing farmers. Herman E. Werner, public prosecutor, says coldly : "Anyone who interferes with milk deliveries will face guns, and the order will be 'Shoot to kill.' " Akron has 10,000 men out of work ; too many, at one time, for that sized place, and the city is tired of it How many millions would be killed, gassed, bombed, ripped to pieces by shrapnel and machine-gu-n fire before Hitler or the nation back of him could be persuaded tiiat he is not a reincarnation of Frederick the Great, or Napoleon? This time a murderous war would be deliberate. No grand duke heir to an imperial throne has been murdered to supply the spark. The Department of Commerce cannot explain the Arkansas air crash, on January 14, that killed 17. It says some passenger "may have incapacitated ttie pilot or interfered with controls." The local sheriff says somebody Inside the plane fired a kind of pistol. Bullet marks were found. Let air passengers before embarking pass before the electric device that reveals instantly a pistol or any other metal object. No decent passenger would object.
