The fact is that, as every observant

A City's "Fresh Air"

Fresh air in New York is not clean
air. This has been established by rec
0rds obtained from the fresh air filters
and automatic sweepers of the Hotel
st. Regis. From outside air pumped
into the hotel IN one week. which was
without rain. one barrel of dust was
obtained. In the same week the auto
matte sweepers in the hotel gathered
two and one-half barrels Of dust. The
air drawn INFO the ST. Regis passes
through screens Of fine mesh cheese
cloth. From these screens the barrel
OF dust was gathered. In sweeping q
pneumatic hose is used which draws
up the dust by suction.-New York
