Experiments conducted under the di- rection of Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, director of the Office of Public Build- ings and Public Parks, at the Interior Department in conjunction with hu- midification have .just been terminated for the current season ,to the satisfac- {tion of officials, who deem them & suc- cess. - Under the direct supervision of Maj. S. M. Corbett of the Army Medi- | cal Corps the experiments have been in progress during the past Winter. = Yes- terday the major checked over the so far they have been ‘“very satisfac- of the Public Health Service assisted in the work. If the Summer plans materialize it will be possible, Maj. Corbett said, to make the air in the temporary buildings on the Mall and elsewhere cnmroruh‘: during the hot days. Plan More Installations, In an interview with The Star M: Corbett said: “Owing to the termin: tion of the heating season, which auto matically eliminates the necessity for humidification, we are unable to carry We are planning to make more exten- sive installations next Fall and to con- coming Winter. “The results so far have been very satisfactory. One type of machine to supply moisture to heated air was in- stalled in a room where about 10 phy- sicians were constantly employed at desks. These doctors reported that the air was unquestionably improved, that they felt better and noticed much less fatigue at the close of the day. An- other machine of a different type was installed in the office of the superin- tendent of the Interior group of build- ings and one of this same tpye was installed in a room occupied by two of- ficials of the Interior Building. They reported substantially the same as the | doctors; all were of the opinion that the working conditions, so far as the air was concerned, were greatly im- proved. We know that the efficiency tand health of workers is itly im- proved, that there is also less loss of time from sickness and a definite saving | of fuel where the.proper relative humid- {1ty is maintained. Also that there is less deteriorating of furniture, fabrics, paintings and books. Dehumidifying Important. “Another feature of air conditioning, and nearly as important as humidifying, is dehumidifying. An excessive humid- ity is about as viclous .as too little this climate, that are so enervating, are causedr principally by a high relative humidity—or excessive molsture. High temperatures reduce efficiency, so far as human beings are concerned. They physiological functions of our bodies and increase the tendency to disease. “It would be difficult,” Maj. Corbett ments can be made to provide this com- fort in the new structures now planned. Modern plants are designed to add moisture to the air in Winter and take | it out in Summer with practically the same installation. This would mean even on the hottest days to a very comfortable degree—thus eliminating hot_days. “Purthermore, the efficiency of all employes would be increased through- out the hot season by dehumidification, humidifying the air. Modern air-con- ditionigg plants also provide the neces- sary heat, properly moistened, to heat ment and reducing the original cost of installing air-conditioning machinery. “Hospitals, in my opinion, would be greatly benefited by humidifying the air in Winter and dehumidifying in Summer. Moist air in operating rooms would reduce the liability to explosions of the ether by sparks:caused by static electricity. It would provide greater comfort. for all patients, especially those suffering with respiratory affections. Every one knows the efficacy of the croup kettle which is nothing more than a humidifier with some medica- hospitals was dehumidified and cooled- patients-would not only be more com- dited. Metabolism is sped up, the sistance to disease is increased. CONSTRUCTION GANG RAIDED IN CRAPS GAME Shanty on Government Grounds at Fifteenth Street. Police of the first precinct swooped down upon a construction shanty on the grounds of a Government building under construction at Fifteenth and B streets shortly after noon yesterday and arrested seven men, whom they say were engaged in a game of craps. Six of the men were released after deposit- ing $10 on charges of disorderly con- duct, but the seventh man, Harry G. Fishel, of 326 John Marshall Place, ve- hemently denounced the action of the police and said he would prefer to re- main at the first precinct station house until Monda; zomlnl g rather than de- ateral, paid off, and numerous complaints of unnecessary noise led police to break up the game.
