DANGERS IN AIR ORA VGHTJ

Prof. Max Herr, an Austrian sci
enlist, has just published an essay
upon the difference between wind and
draught, which is likely to convince
the public that the old-fashioned pref

OF former generation attributed
nearly all the evils that beset them to
draughts and they would not have
slept in uncurtained beds for anything.
Of course, their windows and doors
were shaky and houses stood far
apart, so draughts were nearly in.

to deny draughts altogether and calls
them winds, which are harmless and
