gWhy the Summer Season Is the
‘Wrong Time to Take-a Vacation
UITE a 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
scientific Inquiry. We have been right
in our assumption that human forces
are at thelr highest in the temperate
zZones, 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 ils 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 periods of
the year during which the mean an
nual temperature and humidity most
nearly prevail.
These truths, and a profusion of
correlative detalls, illustrated by
'charu which condense the records of
investigations made at industrial cen
ters with thousands of individuals un.
der observation, are set forth by Bils
worth Huntington in a volume called
“Clvilization and Climate,” recently
issued by the Yale University Press.
Conclusions drawn from these data
take Into consideration the effect of
ltho artificial temperatures of houses
In which most people spend half thelir
lives. Much of the loss of energy due
to the harmful winters of the North
ern States uufht be prevented by a
more rational indoors life, “After the
wonderfully lUmI;I:tlnc autumn
weather, when we ve been living
under most ideal conditions of mun‘
temperature, of humidity, and of va
riability from day to day, we sud
denly begin to heat our houses. We
lennto an indoor climate of great uni
formity, of unduly high mean umrr- |
ature, and of the most extrame aridity,
All these conditions are harmtul, l(‘
our houses were kept at lower tem -
peratures, if the temperature were va- |
ried from day to day, and if the hu
midity were kept at the optimum, we
ohoul‘ increase our effictency Ereatly.”
Dryness Does Harm., |
All this is by way of overcoming
the disadvantages of the onset of ex
treme cold, which are quite as effec
tual in reducing energy as is the sul
try, overhumid period of midsummer.
"‘Wo should be more comfortable, too,”
the author continues, “for with prop
er humidity, and with changes from
day to day, we shouald not feel in need
‘of the high temperatures which we
now require, because the extreme dry
ness forces the body to give up much
‘more heat than would be demanded by
air of greater humidity. |
“Moreover, the uniform Aryness
within doors does almost untold harm
in parching the mucous membranes
and thus rendering us pecullarly la
ble to colds, mr and similar all
ments which often lead to serious
diseases, such as pneumonia and tu
berculosis. Of course, we.could not
entirely avold colds by the method
‘here suggested, but we could mnly;
diminish them. In the autumn be
fors our houses are heated, colds are
comparatively rare, and the same is
true among people who live out of
doors in winter. If the conditions in
side our houses could be ilke those
that prevall in the autumn, the gen
eral health of the community prob.
ably would be much improved In
this one way there might be a saving
not only of milllons of dollary’ worth
of valuabie time, but of an immense
amount of nervous energy which is
wasted because persons who are irei
fated by colds do or say things that
they would scorn under normal cond!.
tions, |

tions is the discovery that most peo-
Ple take their vacations at the wrong

HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA, SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, 1916
during the week after Christmas—
when the energy of the operatives is
at low ebb. Furthermore, this class
of workers lay off at irregular inter
vals, when they do not fit—and this is
nearly always during the frigid
months. From such facts it is ar
gued that it would be better for
worker{ of all classes, and for the
interests of their emplbyers, if the
beginning of the year could lie estab
lished as the popular vacation season,
instead of the summer and early au
tumn,
As 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 overcome the effect of late
cold spells in the spring, as in the
autumn, 1t is tound’ that workers may
be pushed to the limit, and will not
suffer, because of this seasonal in
crease In their energies. The solnt 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 To whole of the win
ter. The suggestion is made that the
nervousness of Americans Is 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.
hct:z charts show that the fall
of the efficiency curve which is low in
midwinter and rises until about the
middle of June, bogi:: when the aver-
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 n% and at an
increasing rate while the 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 nrprl:lnf to
learn that in southern New BEngiand
low temperature seems to be much
more injurious than high tempera
ture. Factory temperature and effi
clency charts prove this, and the rea
son for the general contrary opinion
probably is that the bodily discom
fort owun heat Is so generally ap
preciated, while most poo:lo have a
habit of calling cold weather “exhil
arating.” They move about briskly
to keep the biood stirring, and are
under the erroneous Umpression that
this activity signifies possession of
the maximum of energy.
When, however, there are long pe
riods of extreme summer heat—as in
the summer of 1811—thers is a de
cided decrease in eofficlency among
workers. In Massachusetts in July of
that year the death rate was 50 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 comparable
with the characteristic deflclency
noted in January.
Records Interesting.
How compietely human beings are
&t the mercy of conditions which pro.
duce wide ranges of temperniures is
shown by the records of 1811 com
pared with those of 1912, Only the
extreme weeks are harmful. Thus
1911 was & truly terrible summer and
1812 a delighiful one. Yet during
1911 the temperature remained above
69 degrees for only elght weeks, while
in 1913 1t remained above that figure
for twelve weeks. Thus It appears
that if the average tomperature does
not rise above about 70 dégrees, and
if the noon temperature rarely ex
coeds §0 degrees, the physieal capaci
ty of European raced in the United
Hiates does not saffer any serious
diminution. A slight further rise
however—only 4 or § degrees—pro
duces disastrous consequeances A
single week of such weather does
great harm, but when several weeks
come together people rapidly become
weakened |
The weakening Is greater than ap
pears In the diagrams, for during hot
spells many of the operatives, par
ticulariy the girls, stop work entirely |
or stay at home n the afternoon
Those who remain are the strong ones
and naturally thelr wages are higher
than the general average” (lreat hu
midity simply adds to the weakening |
offect of such pericds of high x-m-|

the ones who get it. If people could

the year in New York, they ought to

Where personal interest influencos
exertion of will power to overcome
the debilitating effects of extreme
temperature, the tem:ornure-et\\clm
cy chart makers are decelved—but not
for long. The exertion of great will
power will perhaps carry a worker
through one pe ‘od of weakening
weather conditions without apprecla
ble diminution of his output; but that
rnruculu- worker will be especially
iable to incapacity which no amouat
of will power will enable him to over
come when the next period of unduly
high or low temperature sets in.
These phenomena are illustrated by
charts regularly kept in factories
where the pay is for plece work—the
larger the amount of work turned out
the greater the rewards in money.
These plece workers may.sciart sut
slowly at the beginning of the week,
influienced by a depressing tempera
ture the same as _their comrades who
are pald by the day. But while the
latter continue -lufioh and {nefficient
throughout the week, the 8::« work. |
ers gradually speed up. 'l'uuday‘
they can be slow and trust to make
it up on Wednesday, and those who
fe!l behind on Monday are already In
creasing their pace. So it goes on
from day to day, until on Friday, and
especially on Saturday, many feel that
their earnings are still insufficient;
hence make an extrg effort.
- Absent After Holidays.
In the cigar factories of Florida
this situation Is strikingly apparent,
for Cuban workers are notoriously
disinclined to work ‘mmediktely after
& holiday (Sunday). Quite 10 per
cent are absent on Mondays, and those
who are present come so late or are
so slothful that they produce only
about 80 per cent as much as on the
other days of the week. Yo, the In
centive of weekly gains according to
the output stimulates these workers,
like those of the North, as the week
advances. Following are the figures
in & Tampa factory whers 780 men are
aTmployod:” Monday, ll."l-:; cent;
uesday, T _per cent; Wednesday,
