ni o f health show a continuation
. i the low rates thru the month of
"Vovember. In that month there wera
only 50 deaths o f infants under one
year o f age compared with 1372 live
births.
This gives Oregon an infant mor
tality rate fo r the month o f 36.4,
slightly lower than the rate in 1939v
when the state was the fourth lowest
in the country. However the rate for
the first 11 months o f 1940 was still
lower,, 34.0 per 1000 live births.
Mateinal deaths during the month
were also very low the research ile-
pastment says. There were only three
death o f Oregon mothers from child
birth reported in the month giving
a November rate o f 2.2 lower than
the 2.3 rate for Oregon in 1939, the
lowest in the nation that year.

Moisture Penetration
With the question of moisture pen
etration into the fram ing of struc
tures becoming m ore acute with the
advent of modern heating and air
conditioning, many builders are ad
vising the use of insulating fabrics
or m aterials which seal the walls
against penetration of moisture va
por.
Under modern systems of
heating and air conditioning it is es
timated by com mercial engineers
that relative humidities are in-,
creased from as low as 5 per cent
to as high as 50 per cent.
This
moisture passes readily through
plaster and other structural m ate
rials until it reaches the dew-point
temperature and then deposits in
droplets. In side walls this moisture
m ay settle to the bottom of the sec
tion, drenching the entire fram e
work. Such condition causes fra m
ing to warp and twist, distorts inte
rior woodwork, and frequently blis
ters paint.
