Many Resort Hotels Already Open
' ' .
and Reservations Indicate
Record-Breaking Season,
A warm, scent-laden air from the
tropical sands of Florida announces
to the grip-enthralled cities of the
North that all is in readiness for Lhe
annual opening of America’s winter
garden,
The great resort hotels, extendin
the length and breadth of this hvoms
State, have been improved to meet ae
increased service demanded of them
as a result of the Kuropean war; and
the season, which begins right after
the first of the year, promises to sur
pass all previous ones.
Never was Florida more alluring—a
natural falryland upon which monay
has been lavished for added attrac
tions. It appeals now to the winter
tourist as a strong rival of his San
Remo, Villefranche, Monte Carlo and
other resorts of the Mediterranean.
Down there below the lln‘)ot winter
frosts, March winds and Abril rains,
the boards of trade of many towns are
inviting you to come and taste of the
luscious oranges ripened on the trees,
dellclous pineapples of the Indian
River flavor, and toothsome strawber
ries abounding everywhere. To bathe
in the emerald surt and sail the coral
seas and enjoy many more delightful
experiences, remarkable In their con
trast, which one meets with at every
turn in this land of perpetual sun
shine, fruits and flowers, while
friends go slushing and shivering
about in the damp, disease-breeding
streets of the North,
Trip Not 8o Long.
It is hard to realize that all this is
50 near at hand and so easy of access
to those that are 30 blessed that they
can flee thither at the first approach
of bad weather. One can take a tra'p
in the frigid North in the morning
and be assured of & midwinter dip In
the ocean the afternoon of the next
day. And the sea trip is one of the
finest in the world. The moment Cape
Hatteras is reached a decided change
in the air Is felt, and every mile thers.

age.
Florida offers more to automobilists
than any other State in the Union at
this time of the year. The roads are
pumerous and well kept. Made of a
hard, white sand, there is an absen e
of dust and nolse, and the comfort of
riding Is unexcelled. There i 3 not "

‘Why the Summer Season Is the
‘Wrong Time to Take a Vacation
\ UITE & number of our settled
Q notions about climatic condi
tions in their bearing upon our
energy of mind and body are in con
flict with facts established by recent
sclentific inquiry, We have been right
In our assumption that human forces
are at thelr highest in the temperate
Zones, but wrong in our theory that
Wwe are able to do the most.and best
work in the winter, with its low tem
perature and comparatively dry at
mosphere,
It 1s now shown that extremes of
temperature and humidity are the
chief Inhibitors of our natural pow
ers, that we-are at our best in the au
tumn and spring—the two perlods of
the year during which the mean an
nual temperature and humidity most
nearly prevatl, v
These truths, and a profusion of
correlative details, {llustrated by
[chnrt‘- which ¢ondense the records of
investigations made at industrial cen
ters with thousands of Individuals un
der observation, are set forth by Eils
worth Huntington in a volume called
“Clvilization and Climate,” recently
!uugfi by the Yale University Press,
Conclusions drawn from these data
take into consideration the effect of
ltho artificlal temperatures of houses
in which most people spend half their
lives. Much of the loss of energy due
to the harmful winters of the North
ern States might be rrovontod by a
more rational indoors life. “After the
wonderfully stimulating autumn
weather, whén we have been living
under most ideal conditions of mean
temperature, of humidity, and of va
rlability from day to day, we sud
idonly begin to heat our houses, We
Create an Indoor climate of great uni
formity, of unduly high mean temper-
Ature,‘and of the mos¥extreme u-lduf.
All these conditions are harmful. If
our houses were kept at lower tem-
Peratures, if the temperature were va
ried from day to day, and if the hu
\mmny were kept at the optimum, we
should Incregse our efMiclency greatly.”
| Dryness Does Harm.
’ All this s by way of overcoming
the disadvantages of the onset of ex
treme cold, which are Quite as effec
)tunl In reducing energy as is the sul
try, overhumid period of midsummer.
“We should be more comfortable, too,”
'tho author continues, “for with prop
er humidity, and with changes from

now require, bacaygse the extreme dry

In parching the mucons membanes
and thus rendering us peculiarly la
bie to colds, grip and similar all
ments which often lead to serious
diseases, such u’t’ pneumonia and tu
berculosis. Of course, we cogld not
entirely avoid colds by the ‘wumd
here suggested, byt we could surely
diminish them. In the autumn, be
fore our houses are heated, coids are
comparatively rare, and the same is
true among people whe live out of
doors in winter. If the comditions in
side our houses could be like those
that prevail in the autumn, the gen

e AN, 84a, SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, 1916.
dli‘l"h‘ll’ they week after Christmas—
when the eno?y of the operatives is
at low ebb, urthermore, this class
of workers lay off at irregular inter
vals, when they do not fit—and this is
nnr]K always during the frigid
months. From such facts it is ar
gued that it would be better for
workers of all classes, and for the
interests of their employers, if the
boglnmn‘ of the year could be estah
lished as the popular vacation season,
instead of the summer and early au
tumn,
A 8 spring approaches the increas
ing proportion of sunlight appears to
act as a stimulant to both mental
and physical effort. This factor even
seems to overcomse the effect of late
cold spells In the spring, as in the
autumn, it is found tgn workers may
be pushed to the limit, and will not
suffer, because of this seasonal in
crease in their energies. The point is
emphasized that after the middle of
November such pressure may be al
most disastrous, rendering the work
ers unfit for, more than casual appli
cation during the whole of the win
ter. The suggestion is made that the
nervousness of Americans s due
partly to the fact that although we
relax somewhat in summer, we keep
ourselves at high pressure through
the winter when the need of relaxa
tion Is greatest.
Trend of Efficiency.

Age temperature risen to about
68 degrees. When the temperature
stops rising, the work stops falling,
and then remains nearly steady
through July. During the succeeding
period of favorable temperature the
amount of work goes u%..u\d at an
increasing rate while t tempera
ture is gradually falling. The curve
of work turns downward when the
average temperature falls below 48
degrees, and reaches its lowest point
in January,
To many It will be -urprlau:. to
learn that in southern New En nQ
low u!:rnlun seems to be much
more Injurious than high tempera
ture. Factory temperature and eM
clcnz’chlru prove this, and the rea
son the genera! contrary opinion
rnhbly is that the bodily discom
ort of sultry heat is so generally ap
preciated, while most people have a
habit of calling cold weather “exhil
arating” They move about briskly
to keepcthe “blood stirring, and are
under the erroneous imfpYession that
this activity signifies possession of
the maximum of energy.
When, however, there are Thng pe
riods of extreme summer heat-—as in
the summer of 1811—there is a de
cided decrease in efficiency among
workers. In Massachusetts in July of
that yéar the death rate was 0 per
cent greater than in the preceding
June. But when short spells of ex
treme heat are separated by a short
succession of cold days, they produce
no deficiency in work com bie
with the characteristic «Es’.‘m
noted in January.

A grave feature brought out in
these Investigations is the lggtlnc
%uum\of the weaknesses so produced,
he statisties show that a long stay
in an adverse climate may produce
results which last for years. So it
s not denied that here is wisdom in
quitting work during very hot sum
mers and taking a vacation’on ‘ne

from an economic viewpoint the need
is not so great for relaxation as when
physical weakness results from ex

The only tfouble is that those who
most need such a change are rarely
the ones who get it. If morle could

lived in the Sarasota Bay section of
Florida. He has seen that section do
velop from d&ér trails and turkey
pastures to a thrlvlr:g‘ community.
Quite recently he beg the develop
ment _of “Slesta-on-the Gulf,” an ls
land just oft the mainland of Sara
sota city proper. This island is part
of what has been termed ‘““the naw
Florida,” and is rich in prospects and
performances. It lles to the south of
Tampa.
In developln, his property Mr. Hi
gel bullt the Higelhurst Hotal, which
he operates under his personal super.
vision. The hotel is open the year
round and enjoys large patronage, ‘or
it 1s one of the most modern and
comfortable hotels in Manatee Coun
ty. Every convenience is to be found
in the hostelry. It is located fl?ht on
the beach, 50 feet from the Gulf Pass,
where bathing is excellent.
In a recent issue of The Manufac
turers’ Record the following ducrlg
tion of “Siesta-on-the-Gulf” was pub
lished: *
“If an island interests you, then see
the beautiful Stesta. It lles in front
of the progressive community of Sar
asota. The Seaboard Alr Line af
fords ample and convenlent transpor.
tation facilities to the section, and a
few minutes’ boat ride across the
smooth blue waters of Sarasota Bay
lands you on Slesta, a subtropical sit
uation of rare charm about eight
miles in length, varyine from half to
a mile in width, The sparkling wa
ters of the Gulf of Mexico wash the
western shore,
“The climate is equal to that of the
Riviera.
“Fishing for pompano, blue mulles,
tarpon and many other varfeties at
tract the sportsman.
“The soils are rich and produce a
wide range of vegetables for shipment
torl‘nolzv marketing centers at a winter
pe when they have a monopoly of
the demand.
“The Avoeado pear has been found
peculiarly adapted to these island
solls and climatic conditions.”
Mr. Higel was elected Mayor of
Sarasota at the last election. He had
#served as a Councliman for ten years,
‘but finally left public lite to look aft
er his private affairs. sl .l
