WHY IS BAD AIR?
Air is bad, when it is overheated, when it contains an excess of mois
ture, and when it is chemically contaminated. This is the conclusion of
the New York State Commission on Ventilation, as summarized by Pro
fessor C. E. A. Winslow, Chairman, in the official organ of The National
Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the Journal of
the Outdoor Life.
Professor Winslow shows that while it has been a matter of common
'belief for a long time that’stagnant air was bad for the body, until recently
no one knew why this was so. The New York State Commission on Ven
tilation has definitely proven two counts against bad air, one of them for
the first time in history, and will probably prove others later on.
The first indictment against bad air shows that an increase in temper
ature beyond the normal seventy degrees produces serious derangement of
the vaso-motor mechanism of the body, resulting in a rise of temperature,
increased pulse, and a lowered blood pressure, with a corresponding de
crease in efficiency, both physical and mental. In addition to this, over
heating conduces to an undesirable congestion of the mucous membranes
of the nose, thus, possibly the way for colds, sore throats, and attacks of
various germ diseases.
The work of the Commission also proves that chemical accumulations
in the air as a result of air stagnation, bring a decreased appetite for
food, which in turn must have an unfavorable effect on the entire body. In
the Commission’s experiments, the people living in fresh air ate 4 1-2 to
13 per cent, more than those living in stagnant air.
“These experiments,” says Professor Winslow, “indicate that fresh air
is needed at all times and in all places. While we. have changed our ideas
as to what causes bad air, ventilation is just as essential to remove the
heat produced by human bodies as it was once thought to be to remove
the carbon dioxide produced by human lungs, and it is now proved also to
be essential for carrying away chemical products which exert a measur
able effect upon the appetite for food. People who live and work in over
heated and unventilated rooms are reducing their vitality and rendering
themselves an easy prey to all sorts of diseases, such as tuberculosis,
pneumonia, grippe, etc.” i
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE UNITED
STATES?
(By Herbert N. Casson, reprinted from Associated Adcvertising for
December)
, "What is the matter with the United States?”
As I have been residing in London since the beginning of the war, I
have been hearing this question asked on all sides. I have never
heard any satisfactory answer. No one seems to know.
Why are the American factories not running night and day? Why
are the railroads not opening up new territories and getting ready for the
millions of immigrants who have already made up their minds to leave
Europe as soon as the war is over?
Why are there not fifty American drummers In London right now, try
ing to sell $200,000,000 worth of American goods in place of the goods
that were bought last year from Germany and Austria.
Why have advertisers become quitters, just at the time when their ad
vertisements were most needed, and most effective in cheering on the busi
ness forces of he United States?
From the European point of view, the United States is a haven of
peace and security and prosperity. It has no troubles that it dare mention
to Belgium, or Austria, or France or Germany, or Servia, or Great Britain
or Russia.
Every tenth Briton has enlisted. Every tenth Frenchman is at the front.
Every tenth Belgian is dead. What does the United States know of trou
ble?
If I could afford it, I would charter the Mauretania and some other
large steamship, and convey a party of 5,000 American advertisers to Eu
rope for trip of education. I would give them a week in London, a week
in Paris, and a week in Antwerp.
I would let them look at the United States from the scene of war. I
would give them a look at real trouble. I would let them see trains, ten
at a time, five minutes apart, packed with the maimed and the dying.
I would let them hear, from fragmentary survivors, the incredible
story of battlefields 150 miles wide, and armies that are greater than the
entire population of Texas.
I would let them see graves 100 yajds long and fujl, and Belgium,
the country that was, nothing now but 12,000 square miles of wreckage.
Then, when they began to understand, to somes light extent, the mag
nitude and awfulness of this war, I w-ould say to them:
"Now go back and appreciate the United States. Realize your oppor
tunities. Don’t start digging trenches when nobody is firing at you. Don't
fall down when you have not been hit. Don't be blind to the most glorious
chance you have ever had in your life.
“Go back and advertise. Get ready for the most tremendous business
boom that any nation ever had. Build your factories bigger. Train more
salesmen. Borrow more money. Go ahead, and thank God that you are
alive, and that your family is alive and that you’re living in a land that is
at peace when nearly the whole world is at war.”
The names of those who have violated the game law —and been caught
—will be published in the annual bulletin, which is soon to be issued.
No bulletn would probably hold those that have not been caught and con-

RICHMOND TO ROYALLY
ENTERTAIN VETERANS AT
CONFEDERATE REUNION
RICHMOND, Va., May 21.—The re
markable military spectacle that is to
feature the twenty-fifth annual re
union of the United Confederate Vet
erans in Richmond, June 1,2, and 3,
will be the cause of a great military
ball on the final night of the reunion.
Fololwing the old custom the grand
ball of the reunion, tendered by the
veterans to the sponsers and maids of
honor, will be given on Thursday
night, June 3, in the big armory of the
Richmond Grays. At this will be
present many military commands in
full-dress and the veterans in their
gray uniforms. In order to accommo
date the vast crowd that is expected, it
has been decided that the Richmond
Blues will give on the same night a
full-dress ball to the New England
and New York military commands that
are to attend the reunion.
With two grand balls on the final
night of the reunion there will be ac
commodations for every one who cares
to participate.
The great parade on the morning of
June 3 will be one of the main feat
ures of a reunion replete with unusual
events. The Adjutant-General of Vir
ginia has issued orders for the entire
State militia, numbering more than
2,000 men, to report in Richmond for
the reunion parade. From the Virginia
Military Institute will come the entire
cadet corps, famous for its drill and
military efficiency. New York and
New England are to send several crack
militia commands, on the invitation of
the Richmond Blues, while many
Southern States will contribute to the
military spectacle. Fifteen bands will
be in the parade and 10,000 veterans,
on foot, horseback and in vehicles.
Work on Camp Stuart, where the
veterans are to be housed while here,
has been progressing rapidly. It will
be entirely completed long before the
first day of the reunion.
