CAPE MAY CLIMATE SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT ~ City Air Blamed for Spread of Pneumonia by late J. R. Allen— Moist Climates Recommended as most Healthy 2 "»

Dust laden air in large citief and in- p dustrial centres provides a well nigh ci perfect carrier for disease germs and ti particularly for pneumonia, according to an investigation made by the Unit- A cd States Bureau of Mines in conjunc- • tion with the late John R. Allen of( t! the Research Bureau of the American f Society of Heating and Ventilating tl Engineers. tl Director Allen's conclusions and a -s standard for proper ventilation which t was worked out by his efforts are pre- c sented in the latest issue of the Jour- a nal of the Engineers' Club. of Philadelphia. Mr. Allen declared that the im- i portance of dust in the atmosphere is t | little realized and that while the ven- f j tilating engineer must take into con- t | sideratidn temperature, humidity and ] j circulation as the three most import- 1 | ant things to be dealt with there are . I many other factors such as germs. , ; "I might speak of dust first,'', his , j report declares. "Dust and- germs go | 'together. There is no such thing as . an air borne germ. All air borne ; germs, so the physiologists tell us," ; are dust borne, and the germs ride on , f the dust. When we have high dust j count we have high germ count almost j always. j "We are mot giving near enough atjtention to dust. We have been test1 ing air at Pittsburgh every day of late and incidentally we get about four parts in 10,000 of carbon dioxide on normal days. CARBON DIOXIDE IN AIR Out in the country about three and one-half pdrts of carbon dioxide in 10,000 will be found. The other morn- ' ing we had one of those foggy days in Pittsburgh and got 7 parts carbon dioxide in 10,000, that was followed by a still foggier day when we got 8.1 parts in 10,000 which was more than I thought ever occurred in natural air. When we tried to get a dust count the plate showed nothing but smudge pf dirt which we could not count. That is the condition of the ; Pittsburgh air and most cities in the East are about as bad. That is what ' is killing th'e inhabitants of the city by penuomina. Of course, it does have an effect on tuberculosis, but 1 doubt if it has nearly as much as on pneumonia. "If most of "the people of the . United States are going to insist on comi ing into the cities to live, we will have I to take care of their health. We have | commissions to investigate the water j supply of the city, but we can go with | out water for a long time— -24 or 36 j hours. We have commissions also to j investigate food, but We can go without food for sixty days or over. How- ' ! ever, we cannot do .without air for , ; five minutes without becoming a : dead one. so our air js more important ; than our food and water, yet we give no consideration to air. We do not know enough about it; but there are i a great many agencies at work at the

present time that are making very, careful investigation of air conditions. "Odors are psychological," said Dr. Allen in discussing their effect on j ventilation. "Of course anything , affects our psychology may afour physiology. During the war Bureau of Mines got up an odor that would make anybody sick at his stomach, so it. will be seen that certain odors may affect us physiologically. We. have not as yet, however, good means of measuring odors. CHEESE SOLUTIONS "Dr. Hill has a scheme, using limcheese solutions of different ■ density and an investigator going into room, smells the odor in the room and then in the different solutions. But the trouble with a man's nose is - that it has a 'movable zero'; he smells with it for a while and after a certain period he doesn't smell an odor any more- So he has to estab- ' a new zero every time he takes a 1 smell. That is practically one of the most unsatisfactory features of ventilation, and the only way of ifcucing m odors today that we are thoroughly positive of, is by introducing air that does not contain odors. "Another question that has come up is the relation of the comfort to tern- "• perature. Dr. Henderson in his work at Yale University onHemperatures, ■ has shown that a contnuous tempera- : ture is not desirable. He shows that we want to change the temperature once 111 a while; it is a good thing to give a man a little jar. Places like ' the Hawaiian Islands, Cuba and other 1 island countries where they have al- " most uniform temperature the year 1 around, are not healthy climates. On " the other hand, very low temperatures ■' such as in Northern Canada, are not ' healthy. After a long period of work 3 in that connection Dr. Henderson has ' 1 written a book on that subject; lie 1 has come to the conclusion that cli- ^ 1 mates such as New York and-Sehttle 1 are about the best climates for health - in this country. He says that high c humidities "are much more conducive 1 to health than low humidities; in « •' other words, that dry climates are not H s healthful and that the best climates ■ 1 for health are the damp climates. He ^ n goes so far as to recommend a humidity as high as 80 per cent Of - course that is impossible, but the - more humidity we have the better the c results and we want the sudden e changes which eqergize our skin. A 1 skin that always functions just th&. h same becomes inactive; and the skin 6 that has to make sudden jumps is o conducive of health." — Philadelphia 1- Inquirer. r ' 'We have- concluded after reading the above article that if Seattle and :t New York have better climates than , e interior cities, the climate' at Cape it May must be the ideal. Certainly our c health statistics prove this assertion ie without doubt.
