Hot Weather
I The number of people who growl about weather
conditions is large, and they are found even in locations
I where climate is exceptionally pleasant and healthful.
On the whole the United States has a wonderfully fine
range of weather. In most sections the people have to
endure some extremes of heat and cold which are trying
to those who are fussy.
But they gather vigor in autumn, winter and
spring, with which to meet the enervating effects of
j heat. If the climat were colder, business would be re-
stricted by winter conditions. If it were warmer, this
country would be affected by the indolence, character-
istic of all nations living close to the equator,
j Extreme heat is trying to great numbers of people
of course, and it affects human activities a good deal. In-
dustrial operations drag in torrid weather, and most per-
sons feel limp and ambitionless. Bright people, how
l ever have thought up all kinds of ways of mitigating
heat effects, and making money thereby. Great summer
resort businesses have grown up to provide escape from
heat conditions, and the stay at homes are offered cool-
ing drinks, revolving fans, light garments, and all kinds
of means of making a sweltering day seem tolerable.
I The women seem to have thoroughly learned the
lesson, that light dressing alleviates heat, and some o f
them seem inclined to approach the styles prevailing in
equatorial Africa. Men are laying aside stiff collars,
and they should make even more use of light weight
clothing. It is not much use to work as hard on a hot
day as at other times. It takes more out of one than the
effort is worth. .
But people who keep working in a moderate way
fare quite as well as those who loaf around and fret about
the weather. When you. compare all advantages and
disadvantages, there is no better climate in America than
that of Oregon. Its people do not need to go beyond its
boundaries to pass a comfortable summer.
