V , LULIUII textile plant. Some three hundred years ago, when spinning and weaving was done in the home, the British learned the yarn was easier to handle and the cloth more uniform when the work was carried on in a damp basement. Later, when cloth making became a factory industry, mill owners first tried to control humidity by pouring water on the floors. Later, efforts were made to keep moisture in the air by atomizing water into particles so small they evaporated before drizzling down on the machinery. Early in the 20th Century, a North Carolina textile engineer, Stuart Cramer, patented We All Have > Sensitive and informed minds throughout the world today believe that we have reached a decisive point in our history. Science has put into the hands of man a power that could mean the liquidation of the world. Almost everywhere there are "wars and rumors of war" in practically every section of the world there are dangerous signs of unrest and discontent. As a rule, however, when we speak of national and world problems, the average individual will say, "But what can I do about it? What can one lone man do towards helping to solve such difficult problems?" The answer lies in the fact that individuals make up communities, that communities make up states, that states make ud nations, and nations make up worlds. Therefore each one of us can "do something about it." Each one of us in his own small way can intensify his efforts to live bv the Golden Rule. Each one of us can resolve to put into daily practice the eternal virtures of peace and More rj 2 rj >mr\ 'ell^nt example of a modern textile equipped witn the latest in textile an improved atomizing nozzle that gave still more humidity, and to promote his invention, he called it "air conditioning." Today, however, this method of controlling humidity is called "humidification." Several years after Cramer's invention, Dr. Willis Carrier, an employee of a New York firm, invented the "air washer" and installed his first model in the Chronicle Mill at Belmont. His "washer" was a big metal box, open at each end. Inside the box, spray nozzles produced a dense water spray and a centrifugal fan pulled air through the washer. Eventually, this system was developed sufficiently to be able to maintain a constant year-round relative humidity. Air conditioning finally arrived when Dr. Carrier, who A Part and goodwill of friendship and love. Each one of us can determine to be faithful, loyal and true ? even in the smallest affairs of our daily living. Each one of us can try to live his very best every moment of the day. None of us should be content with trying to uo less. Bv SO dnin r* rrimo whnt may, there will be the personal satisfaction of knowing we at least tried to do our part. In these "times of trouble," here is a good motto to follow: "I am only one person. I cannot do everything. But what I can do I must do. and by the grace of God, I will do." USE OF A LADDER Webster defines a ladder as "an appliance consisting of two long side pieces usually na rail pi ininorl intoi-voic. I vt I. unci vaia by cross-pieces on which a person may step in ascending or descending " That description doesn't apply to chairs, boxes, or stools.

While the primary efforts of the air conditioning system were directed at the textile industry, air conditioning expanded rapidly. It was extensively used in movie theaters ? remember the signs "20 Degrees Cooler Inside"? It extended to hotels, office buildings, apartment houses, department stores, and, in recent years, to the American home and automobile. Thus, a need of the textile industry brought forth something that has enabled man to work better and in more comfort, in all walks of life. Win Friends . . . Influence Same Dale Carnegie of ' How to Win Friends and Influence People" fame, is one of the most widely-read writers because of his constructive suggestions for ambitious travelers on the highway of success. He gives six ways to make people like you. and everyone snouici pro!it bv his advice. Here are the rules: Be genuinely interested in other people. Smile. A man without a smiling face must not open shop. Remember that a man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in the language. Be a good listener Encourage others to talk about themselves. Many persons call a doctor when all they want is an audience. Talk in terms of the other man's interest. Make the other person feel important ? and do it with sincerity.
