NOT AN ILL WIND
STORMY WEATHER CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND. The tempestuous weather conditions which have marked January and February in England, while they have resulted in very extensive damage, are probably responsible in no small measure for the fact that 1938 has been a healthy year, so far, says the meteorological expert of the London “Sunday Times.” According to the latest returns of the Registrar-General, deaths in London and 121 other cities and large towns of England and Wales during the seven weeks ended February 19 were 24 per cent fewer than in the corresponding period of 1937. It is believed that continued strong winds are beneficial in this way because they serve to prevent accumulations of stagnant, germ-laden air in densely populated centres. There is no doubt that quiet, cold and foggy winters arethe most unhealthy.
