Engineers know four ways to produce a cooling effect in theaters, hospitals, factories und other big I) hidings; and, according to the Holland Institute of Therniology of Holland, Midi., the snuie methods might he used In the average home. The air conditioning engineer's four ways of making a building 70 degrees cool when its sweltering-ho- t outdoors, are these : 1. He may pass the air through cold water or cold briue sprays, or over cold colls, or he may combine both these. 2. He may evaporate water without adding heat to the air or subtracting it a rather complicated mechanical process which results in some cooling. 3. He may reduce the moisture content of the air by means of cooling as In a dehumidl-fyln- g the tie-lo- w dew-poin- t, plant may, except in the most severe conditions, create the effect of coolness without an actual drop In temperature, merely by installing equipment to keep the air moving with steady velocity. But, for most of us, in our homes, says the Holland Institute of the choice is narrowed down by the fact that ail the first three methods require expensive and com- 4. He Ther-molog- y, Kitchen Fan Draws Off Hsat and Odor of Cooking Range. Th plicated machinery. So, to cool our houses In hot weather, ve are limited to air motion. There are three classes of equipment that make this possible. First, there is the ordinary electric fan. On a hot night It can be turned on and directed upon the members of the family, and the velocity of its air currents will produce a decided cooling effect Then there Is the simplest kind of "unit ventilator, intended to be built fitted into a part of the space of a kitchen window. Any housewife will appreciate its effects In drawing off the heat and odor of the cooking range. But both the fan and the "nnlt ventilator are limited In usefulness. They cannot cool more than one room or a few persons at a time. These limitations do not apply to the third g class of equipment the .new type of heating system equipped with an electrified propeller which keeps lively currents of air circulating through all the rooms of the home. There are two kinds of home-beatlog plants that have this summer-coolin- g feature, one known as the vapor-alr- e system, and the other as the During the winter, their function is to move the warmed air from the heat generator through all rooms of the home more rapidly (and In greater volume than the ordinary warm air circulating plant will 'do. One consequence of this is that It takes less time to warm up the home on cold mornings. Also, these systems Maintain more uniform temperatures, which are the more healthy. home-coolin- ' -i ; r . Moving Air Best, Blood Tests Show Blood pressure Is one of the most important gauges of the effects of air conditions on the body, says a booklet on Air Motion In Home Cooling and nome Heating, which has Just been Issued by the Holland Institute of Thermology of Holland, Mich, Referring to blood pressure tests .made at the research laboratory of the U. S. Bureau of Mines at Pittsburgh, tthe bulletin shows that, with air moving at a sustained velocity over the body, the effects of heat are not nearly ns severe as when the air is still. Other similar tests show that air motion has a beneficial effect upon pulse rate and internal body temperature, a 3 well rs blood pressure. Alter showing how air motion promotes summer time comfort, the booklet describes several methods by which ,lt can ie used for its cooling effect In the home.

Finally, the new bulletin, which may be obtained by request to the Holland Institute of Thermology of Holland, Mich., Bhows how these propellers increase heating efficiency and lower fuel costs during cold weather. j i super-circulatin- Washington.

A bulletin from tbe Washington (D. C.) hendquarters of the National Geographic society tells of the various sources of water supply to which cities have turned and traces the de velopment of the modern city waterworks. So long as men live in villages the problem of a supply of water for drinking, and other household purposes usually can be solved easily, says the bulletin. But when the village grows into a town, and the town into a city, the furnishing of an adequate amount of water becomes in creasingiy difficult. The history of the growth of great cities in all parts of the world has In large part been the history of the reaching out farther and farther for a greater supply of this It Plan to Register at the Age-Ol- The Second Ward Relief Society a meeting next Tuesday, afternoon at 2:30 at the home of Mrs Lutislia Provstgaard.

Six thousand years ago the cities tliai grew up in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates and the Nile were faced with the same need for a dependable water supply. In fact they grew where they did because water was there easily available. Because they were situ ated on level valley lands, these earliest cities o which we know could bring in water In canals; and frbm fhese the populace dipped it as they needed it. Phoenicians were probably the first to construct what may be called wa terworks. They sank a series of shafts and connected the bottoms by tunnels thus leading a stream of water under ground from upland sources to their coastal cities. Impervious strata were chosen in which to dig the tunnels, and in this way loss by seepage and evaporation was avoided. Such underground water systems are still made use of in the Near East, notably In Persia where all the larger cities obtain their water from such hidden ltow streams. The early Greeks borrowed the system from Syria, and conducted water to a number of their cities In this way as well as by surface canals. Most of these earliest city wTater systems were for the purpose of furnishing a necessity the water which was essential for drinking and cooking and cleaning. There were public baths in Greek cities; but apparently it was not until Rome had grown into a great city with a marked concentration of population that the Idea came to supply to such a big population center a superabundance of water not only enough to meet the urgent necessities of the populace, but also a large surplus to Increase their comfort and pleasure. Some of the greatest engineering accomplishments of the Romans were in the construction of their aqueducts. The ruins of a number of these great works, stalking across valleys and lowlands near Rome on arches from 50 to 100 or more feet high, are among the most striking remains of the ancient Roman civilization. Rome Went 60 Miles for Water. The earliest of the Roman aqueducts lmd its source of water supply less than seven miles from the city. But as the population grew, and more and more water was required, new aqueducts were built extending 11, 20, 40 and even 61 miles into the country. A popular idea that these aqueduct channels were all carried far above ground is Incorrect Long sections of most of the channels were underground and in some cases high hills were pierced for them by long, deep tunnels. all Rome surpassed Although earlier great cities in the abundance of its water supply, it did no go far beyond them In the matter of distribution. For the most part the water for household use was fed to fountains and reservoirs from which it was necessary for the people or their servants to take it In Jars. Supplies were also conducted to important public buildings, to the private homes of a few very wealthy families, and to the public baths. The dwellers in the cities of medieval Europe, like those of many cities of the Near and Fur East today, had water supplies far Inferior to that o the Romans. Some of the outstanding exceptions were cities established ns Roman colonies. In which the Roman-buil- t aqueducts continued to function. The typical medieval city depended on wells and on cisterns filled by rain water drained from roofs. The water was often unclean and eajily became contaminated. These polluted city water supplies played an important part In the occurrence of the devastating plagues that swept over European cities during tbe Mid die Ages. "London began piping water Into the city from outside sources as early as 1236, but It was supplied only to fountains and reservoirs. Few connec tlons to individual homes were made before the Eighteenth century; and it was not until well into the Nineteenth century that this ultimate step in city water distribution took water shaft-tunn- are holding their hig Fall Range Sale.
