HOLLYWOOD How should
motion picture stars invest their
money ? The
question bothers
every celebrity
and has been
intensified
during the re
cent antics of
the stock
market.
Peter Lorre
has a novel
answer.
For 10 years
he has been
buying . up the
screen rights of
European novels
and plays until now he has accu
mulated 13 valuable properties. It
was Lorre to whom British-Gau-mont
had to come when it wanted
to film Joseph Conrad's "Secret
Agent". The Hungarian actor
also holds the rights to "The Good
Soldier Schweik" and "Kaspar
Hauser".
Best part of it is, in every one
of the stories there is a part for
Lorre.

Whether he is finished In
"Jezebel" or not, Henry Fonda will
leave for New York not later than
Dec. 14. . Star made Warners
agree to this before accepting the
role. Reason is the Fonda heir is
due Dec. 15.
News story of Danielle Dar
rieux' arrival reported the star as
bringing 47 trunks of Paris clothes.
It is typical of Hollywood, however,
that the actress' wardrobe In her
Universal picture, "The Rage of
Paris", will be entirely of studio
manufacture.
Recent spreads in the picture
magazines in which some of Holly
wood's most dignified stars were
seen disporting in bathing suits has
caused many a shudder among the
cinema great. Which may or may
not be responsible for the fact that
It Is very hard these days to get
an established actress to pose for
what is known as "leg art".
. Among those banning the bath
. ing suit pictures are Jeanette Mac
Donald, Wendy Barrie, Frances
Langford, Fay Wray, Patricia
Wilder and (since , her marriage)
Anne Shirley, '
Will Rogers would have been 58
years old Nov. 3. His bungalow
at Twentieth Century-Fox has
been left unchanged by Eddie
Cantor and on the anniversary, the
comedian placed a bouquet of roses
on the desk where Rogers wrote
Columnist's mail. . . . Dr. J. C.
Geiger, San Francisco's director of
public health, takes us to task for
printing that Michael Whelan's
mother may have contracted
measles from a fan letter. Such
a thing, he says, would be Impos
sible. We merely quoted Dr. C A.
Seytarth, of the Twentieth Century-Fox
studio, who, incidentally,
still sticks to he opinion. Los
Angeles board of health, however,
thinks it would be very unlikely.
Mrs. John M, Zipp, of Tona
wanda, N. Y., sends list of 98
screen stars and wants their birth
places. We must bow out, but
studios would supply the informa
tion. Photoplay magazine lists
studio affiliations of the players.
Fourteen still pictures from "The
White Angel" are to be Included
in a health textbook now being
authored by Dr. John Guy Fowlkes,
professor at the University of
Wisconsin. Film was a Kay

Pauline Garon reports she is

Can't understand the objections In
some quarters that the Cantor
banquet was a publicity stunt.
Certainly It was, and a very clean
one. Everybody had a good time
and nobody was charged for the

Humidity Is Important Factor
To Our Health And Comfort
II." M. Hall
vapor,
Under
In telling the story of humidity we
must of necessity divide it under two
heads; first, that part of it pertain
ing to its out-of-door
relationship to weath
er conditions, and sec
ond, to the very im
portant part it plays
in the home in its
influence upon our com
fort and our health.
"Humidity" is the
term used to describe
the moisture, or water
contained in the atmosphere,
normal conditions it is not
visible, but when the temperature of
the air and the amount of moisture
therein reach a certain relationship,
condensation takes place, resulting in
the formation of mist, fog, or dew
at the earth's surface, and clouds ap
pear in the free air.
The United 'States Weather bureau
reports contain a daily record of hu
midity, and this record is the amount
of water vapor in a unit of volume
of space compared to the amount that
could be contained in the same space
under identical conditions of press
ure and temperature of the air . This
is called relative humidity. A cubic
foot of space at a temperature of
70 degrees and under a normal barom
etric pressure, contains eight grains
of water. This is taken as a base
figure for this temperature and called
100. If there are only four grains
of water in this same space and under
the same conditions of air tempera
ture and pressure it follows that
there is but one-half of the maximum
amount of moisture present, which
when expressed in percentages, is re
ported as "Relative Humidity 50',;."
The other term used to express hu
midity is "Absolute," which means the
actual. -weight of water in grains per
cubic foot of air. A grain is l-7000th
part of a pound of water. At an
atmospheric pressure of 30 inches,
air at 32 degrees will hold about 2
grains of water, while at 100 degrees
it will hold 20 grains. If more mois
ture is forced into the air than it
will hold, say above 20 grains at 100
degrees, the excess will be deposited
upon surfaces that are at the same
temperature, or colder than the air, A
molecule of water vapor from the air
will be deposited for every molecule
evaporated into the air.
The water vapor in the air is the
result of evaporation from all bodies
of water, from plant, human and an
imal life, each evaporating in propor
tion to its water content. This rate of
evaporation is not constant, but
changes with the temperature and
pressure of the air, and is further in
fluenced by the velocity of the air
movement, or wind. Wet clothes, etc.,
will dry more rapidly on clear dry days
than On days that are cloudy and
damp, because the evaporation is more
rapid.. - '
Humidity is measured by an instru
ment called the hygrometer. Briefly
this consists of two thermometers
placed side by side that register ex
actly alike. About the bulb of one
of these is then placed a covering of
silk wicking, the end of which is im
mersed in water. As evaporation
takes place around this wet bulb, its
heat is lost, causing it .to read lower
than the dry bulb thermometer, pro
viding of course that there is any de
gree of dryness in the air. The more
rapid the evaporation the greater the
cooling, hence the greater the differ
ence between the two readings. If the
air contains no dryness, such as in
times of heavy mist or fog, the two
thermometers will read the same be
cause no evaporation can take place
when the air has already passed be
yond the point of saturation.
Based upon the readings taken at
the same time, of these two thermom
eters', and the difference between the
two readings, tables have been com
piled from which we can at once de
termine the relative humidity. As an
illustration if the dry bulb ther
mometer read 76 degress and the wet
bulb reads at the same time 70 de
grees the table tells us that the re
lative humidity is 74 of the total
amount of moisture the air could
retain at 76 degress.
From the readings of the hygro
meter the Weather Bureau computes
by the use of another table what is
known as the "Dew Point." This is
the degree of temperature which when
reached will result in the formation
of dew. If taken in the evening this
point usually indicates the approxi
mate low temperature for the night
which if low enough gives us warning
jf a frost or a freeze. Cloudy nights
prevent dew from being formed be
cause the clouds act as a blanket and
retard the escape of heat into space
;hus preventing evaporation. The
rreater the difference between the two
thermometers the greater are the
probabilities of fine weather.
The above gives us an idea of what
lumidity is, and how a knowledge of
it helps the weather forecaster. But
jy far the most important thing about
humidity is its very real effect upon
Jur health, our comfort in our homes
ind our coal bills. Too much stress
;an not be put upon the real need
:hat we should know how vital it is
to try and imitate Mother Nature in
jur heated homes. In winter we do
everything we can to retard and pre
vent the carrying on of one of the
basis laws of life itself- the provid
ing for our bodies and our household
furnishings the moisture necessary for
their preservation. Our furniture
drops apart and cracks from the same
cause that gives us colds, diseases ot
the lungs, throat and nasal passages
and makes lis chilly in a room at 80
degrees when Aye are comfortable
the same room at C5 or 70 degrees in
summer, when the windows are open
to the outside air.
In our next article we will discuss
this very interesting and important
phase of humidity, and try and make
clear how to govern it for our'health
and comfort.
