Over Seventy Degrees ol Heat Too Muck The right temperature for the office, living room or work room, that degree of heat that will keep one comfortable, healthful and at the same time will enable him to do the greatest amount of work with the irrpatest eaan is discusscd in today.8 bunetin from the State Board of Health. It says: "Sevenlv dpcrrooa of Vipnt whjch most people think they are keeping when in rea,ity the thrmmDtl raaa onu.uOPil from 72 to 78 is, for all practical purposes, too hot. It Is ener vating and nnhpalthful. It nre. digpose3 to fatiKue coldSi grippe H Mn0(,;1K, tn nnmimnn:n the reason that too much heat lowers bodily resistance. "Careful study and all experi mentations demonstrate that a moderately cool, dry air in motion is the best air condition for the body. At no time is a temperature higher than G8 degrees recom mended while a much lower temperature is needed to work in. In no country in Europe is the indoor temperature allowed to go over fi8 degrees while the usual house temperture over there is (0. Huntington states that men do their best mental work when the air temperature is 60 and their best physical work when it is about 40. The best all round temperature for work is 50, he says. "Observations have further shown that tt e minimum amount of work during the year is done during the hot summer months and the middle winter months -January and February when indoor heat is highest Students at West Point and Annapolis do their best mental work, mathe matics in particular, in the spring and fall and their worst work in mid-winter and mid-summer. Excessive heat and lack of cool, fresh air is thought to make! the difference.'' "What sup this morning?" "Theindiarubbermanisaproud father." "I suppose it's a bouncing baby?" "She says I am dull."

In spite of the utmost vigilance on the part of Chief Baird and many assistants no clue has been discovered as to the whereabouts of Whitfield. An exhaustive search of Whit. field's belongings failed to turn ' up any evidence of past depre dations. Whitfield has a wife and small child here. His mother and brother who live here are well nnvtnt uv Qn .kn,i,nt.0m and the criminal tendencies of this young man are greatly re gretted by them. A peculiar incident about the entire affair is that Mr. Tavlor's residence seems to have possess- ed a great fascination for Whit-jnoar field. Although other residents of Roanoke Rapids were honored . . ! with his attentions at odd times, i Whitfield made visit after visit ! to Mr. Taylor's, probably on account of the fact that Mrs. Taylor spends many evenings at Roanoke Pharmrcy with Mr. Taylor while he is on duty the.e, leaving the house entirely vacant. Mrs. J. L. Roark After an illness of some: duration Mrs. J. L. Roark passed away at her home in Rosemary j on last Saturday morning, Jan-' Uarv 20. at the rine old age of I seventy two years. She is survived by her husband, Mr. J. L. Roark, one daughter, Mrs. F. J. Hilton, of Rosemary, ten grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. Mrs. Roark has lived in Rose mary for about four years, mov ing here from Johnson county, Tennessee. She had won many friends during her stay in Rose mary who feel her loss verv deeply. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon. being conducted by Rev. A. C. Ichaffin. of the Baptist church. The interment took place in the Roanoke Rapids Cemetery. Smiles have been known to do more than dollars. A railroad gateman at San Bernardino, Cal uses a peris cope, mounted on top of his cabin, to get a clear view of a curved roadway near by.
