SUMMER COOLED HOMES
NOW ENTIRELY PRACTICAL.
Summer heat is from two and
a half to five times as deadly to
humans .as winter cold. Yet, al-
though 7 cents of every home build-
ing dollar is spent for heating equip- ing
ment, the Holland Institute of
Thermology of Holland, Mich.
points out that home cooling plants
are rare, although modern science
has made them entirely practical.
According to the latest figures of
the United States Public Health
Service, 646 persons died from heat-
stroke and only 246 as a result of
exposure to cold in one year. ‘in the
preceding summer and winter 1,355
were killed by heat and 239 by cold.
The statistics do not account for the
vast number of non-fatal heat pros-
trations,
But though the cooling of thea-
ters, auditoriums, schools, hospitals,
banks, factories, offices and other
structures has become common
practice, air-conditioning the home
for comfort, health and efficiency is
neglected except for heating during
cold weather. This would not be
the case. the Holland Institute of
Thermology suggests, if the average
home owner would just “take a tip”
from a common experience.
This experience occurs on hot
“muggy” evenings when not a
breath of wind is astir and there
seems nothing to do but perspire and
suffer. In desperation, we get into
the family car, start off at about 25
miles an hour, and the air flows past
with a grateful coolness. Presently,
the speedometer slides up to 40
miles. We stop perspiring, forget
the heat, become comfortable. After
an hour or two we return home,
refreshed and relaxed, ready for a
sound sleep. |
The air |

velocity was dissipated.”
Here, then, is a practical applica-
‘tion of air motion as a cooling
home.
method for the average
When we are entertaining friends
on a sweltering summer evening, ali
we need to dois toturn on a
switch in the kitchen and set a
cooling breeze coursing through the
house
When bedtime comes. we can be
‘sure of getting to sleep easily and
quickly, without tossing and sweat-
through half the nnght, because
of the steady cooling currents that
play over our beds. Grandmother
and grandfather may sit in the air
stream and so pass through the
“hot speil” without those distressing
attacks of heatstroke that make
midsummer a dread period for old
‘folks. And baby's cradle ‘may be
placed where the wind blows over
it modcratcly, so that the little one,
summer illnesses |
too, is free from
due to heat.
And in contrast with elaborate
evaporating and dehumidifying ma-
chinery, this summer-cooling-winter-
heating plant is inexpensive, both
in operating cost and in original
cost of the equipment. On the
first point, the engineering tests
showed that the total cost of cool-
ing a large two-story dwelling by
this method amounts to slightly less
than a cent an hour.
Logically, we want to know what
happens to the propeller system
during winter. Well, one of the
outstanding effects of the increased
air velocity is that the house can be
warmed up on cold winter mornings
much more rapidly than with an or-
| dinary heating plant.
Also, air circulation throughout
the dwelling is improved. Instead
of one-and-a-half or two air changes
an hour, there are from four to six
when the propeller moves air
through the system. This produces
more uniform and consequently
the
rooms.
Higher heating efficiency and con-
siderable fuel economy result, for
| The movement for the education
of parents in the United States is
. In the 1880's and '80’s.
when child study had its great im-
'petus under G. Stanley Hall and
‘the German
wanted to learn more about their
children. Most of these women had
‘a background of education which
| made it possible for them to study
with some profit the conclusions of
these early investigators. Indeed,
some were ambitious enough to at-
tempt keeping records of their own
children under the direction of Hall
and other psychologists,
In spite of these and
the consistent effort of such organi-
zations as the Child Study Associa-
tion and the P.-T. Association, it
has only been in the last five or six
years that any real strides have
been made in thinking through the
philosophy underlying the education
'of parents and the problems which
must be approached.
Today the education of parents
has a significant place in several
large universities, notably Columbia,
Minnesota, Iowa, California, and
Toronto and McGill in Canada. Pro-
grams for parent education are be-
ing promoted by a large number of
agencies, both national and local.
Among the national organizations
are the Child Study Association, the
National Congress of Parents and
Teachers and the American Associ-
ation of University Women.
In local communities one finds
social agencies, religious groups,
health agencies, colleges. public
schools, juevnile courts and clinics
sponsoring and promoting education-
al work for parents. In Philadel-
phia such agencies have joined to-
gether under one co-ordinating par-
ent’s council.
In universities and colleges men
‘and women are learning to study
parents’ need, to lead parents in
discussion groups, to recognize
| scientific information, so that it
may be used by parents. Several
of these universities now are offer-
psychologists, mothers

are mainfold today. One of the
‘easy ways of access to information
‘is through literature. During
last five years a great deal of ma-
terial has been —books,
| pamphlets, magazines, and articles.
This literature is of
that which is written for
parents and that which is written
for teachers or specialists, but which
contains excellent content for par-
ents. There has been a good deal
written on some aspects, such as
proper foods for children; how to
get children to eat certain foods;
sleep; anger and temper tantrums;
fears; affection and jealousy; sex
education; play and toys; disci-
pline and obedience,
This literature has been developed
in response to demands of parents,
for these seem to be the kinds of
problems upon which parents want
help. The University of Toronto
and the University of Minnesota
both have published books which
deal with these and similar prob-
lems. Leaflets and pamphlets may
be had from the United States Chil-
dren's Bureau and in American Asso-
ciation of University Women, Wash-
ington, and the Child Study Asso-
ciation. New York.
However, the literature which
deals with family relationships, with
the interactions between mother and
-
father, mother and children, father
and children, children and children,
is not so prolificc Such relation-
ships are extremely subtle and dif-
ficult to analyze.
Few studies have been made and
few authors have attempted to
write about these problems. Lillian
Gilbreth has discussed it from one
point of veiw in “Living With Our
Children” and Ernest Groves has
made a real contribution in his
several books.
It is difficult for parents to choose
among all that is being written
that which is best and most trust-
worthy. Parents are in danger of
exploitation if they do not use their |

EASILY BE POISONED
Instructions for making a simple
land inexpensive ant poison have
(been given by P. D. Sanders, Asso-
(ciate Entomologist of the Uiver-
bled by the little pests. - |
ture recommended by Mr. Sanders
includes water one quart, sugar one
pound, and arsenate of soda 125
grains. These materials, he ad
vises, should be boiled together un- |
til the arsenate of soda has dis-
solved. One tablespoonful of honey
added to the mixture, it is stated,
will increase its attractiveness to
the ants.
The poison syrup, according to
Mr. Sanders. should be placed in
shallow containers easily accessible
to ants. Pill boxes water-proof-
ed inside with hot paraffin are sug-
gested as ideal containers.
Emphasis is placed on the fact
that an effective poison for the
kind of ants that are pests in|
houses must be weak. It is ex-
plained that a poison that is strong
enough to kill ants after eating it
before they get back to their nest
fails to kill the queen and she goes
lon reproducing. A weaker poison |
is carried back to the nest by the
workers and is fed to the queen,
with the result that she is poisoned |
and the entire colony is thereby
eradicated,
Mr. Sanders states that the work-
er's Pharoah's ant, will frequently
not take poison described above. In|
that case, he recommends a mix-
ture of water one pint, sugar one]
pound, honey three ounces, and Thal-
lium sulphate 27 grains, bringing the |
mixture to a boil while stirring vig-
