Proper ventilation would eliminate much of the physical danger of
social events; fresh, dry air should be constantly admitted to crowded
rooms in order to replace the air saturated by the breath and
perspiration of the occupants.


29. Weather Forecasts. When the air is near the saturation point,
the weather is oppressive and is said to be very humid. For comfort
and health, the air should be about two thirds saturated. The presence
of some water vapor in the air is absolutely necessary to animal and
plant life. In desert regions where vapor is scarce the air is so dry
that throat trouble accompanied by disagreeable tickling is prevalent;
fallen leaves become so dry that they crumble to dust; plants lose
their freshness and beauty.
