Does anyone use this data?
Do the observations serve any

The answer is an emphatic
"yes," by J. H. Hagarty, head
of the Office of Climatology
of the U. S. Weather Bureau.
He said the bureau receives
many requests for data. The
requests are examined to de
termine the area in question,
length of record needed and
specific weather elements in
volved. The required data, or
the next best substitute, are
then collected, examined and
furnished to the applicant.

First Factor
Temperature is one of the
first factors considered by
persons in selecting a retire

particular health conditions
also consider temperature
data in selecting a domicile.

Precipitation records have
been used to determine the
size of the roof in an area
where drinking water comes
from the rainfall, Hagarty
said. These records also have
been used in drought studies
and in the determination of
drought disaster areas, and
in the design of highway and
airport drainage systems,
storm sewers and irrigation
canals.
Hagarty said that without
the corps of volunteer observ
ers, "the myriad weather
might become a problem, in
an effort to control them.
Hagarty said an interest
ing use of temperature data
is to attempt to determine if
the climate actually is chang
ing, and if so, in what way.
Accurate temperature read
ings are vital to such studies,
and these readings should be
made under virtually un
changed conditions over a
long period of time.

Heart Attack Avoided
: During the years between
Sept. 1952, and Dec. 31, 1959,
Drs. Jeremiah Stamler and
his associates made a study
of 275 men
under the aBe
. I of 50 who had
Ir I had one or
attacks
: o r onary
i neart disease.
Because wom
en are much
less likely to
I have a coro-
n a p V attarlc
than are men, it was thought
wortnwnue to study me ei
fect of somewhat feminizing
the men by giving them large
doses of female hormone. The
result was that the mortality
rates in the treated group
were reduced by about half.
Other similar studies, such
as those of J. Marmorston
and his associates also indicat
ed that treatment of this type
can reduce the tendency of
a heart attack to return. One
objection is that some men
object to the loss of sexual
potency that results.
'As so often happens in sci
ence, about the time we doc
tors think we know some
thing, along comes another
man who says, "I repeated
that work aand got a different
result. Hence it was that I was
not surprised on hearing of
the five-year study by Drs.
Oliver and Boyd of England
wjio said their results of giv
ing an estrogen to men were
disappointing. Perhaps they
used the wrong brand of estro
gen an ethnyl estradiol. Ob
viously what is needed now
are more studies in which a
large group of men are used
as subjects.
Treatment for Burns
: In answer to the persons
who have asked me what is
the best emergency treatment
for a person who has received
a. bad burn. I will say that
in the JAMA I find a paper
bv Drs. T C. King and P. B.
Price, who say that years ago
manv grandmothers had the
right idea when they quickly
put cold water compresses on
burned areas of the skin.
Cold water helps the body
to organize resistance against
the local injury of the burns.
The cooling of the injured
tissues appears to turn the
tide in favor of the badly
burned person, so that he will
recover when, otherwise, he
might lose his life.
