that is left over in the body when
oxygen and food combine to build up
the body, etc. It is picked up by the
blood, carried to the lungs, and
breathed ont. It is poisonous and in
jures the body when it is breathed in
again.
Amount Needed.
Rosenau estimates (1917) that to
keep healthy man weighing 100
pounds needs 2,400 cubic feet of fresh
air every hour when resting, $500
when doing light work, and 600
when doing hard work. A woman
weighing 120 pounds needs five-sixths
as much, and a child weighing 80
pounds seven-twelfths as much.
Factories, churches, theaters, of
fees, etc, all need abundant supplies
of fresh air. Factories need them
most of all, for persons doing physi-
cal labor breathe faster than those
who are sitting quietly, and most fac
tories use more or less machinery,
whose fires use up (burn) oxygen and
release carbon dioxide faster than the
breath of many men.
The simplest way Of renewing used
air by a supply of unused air is by
opening the windows, but unless
these are very carefully placed and
supervised they seldom distribute
the air evenly, and they often cause
persons In one part Of a workroom to
suffer from heat and bad air while
those in other parts SILVER and
sneeze. Furthermore, in many facto-
ries the windows are constantly be-
ing DISTRACTED by materials that are
put there temporarily" but are left
there eternalIy. However, in these
days the complaint committee of the
workers can usually be trusted to see
to the removal Of such things.
If natural ventilation is insufficient,
the best way to renew the air in fac
tories is by use Of big electric fans so
placed as to draw of the foul air, or
to drive in the fresh air, or both.
Temperature Affects.
Temperature and humidity (per
cent Of moisture in the air) are also
closely associated with ventilation.
The body heat given off by persons
congregated in a workroom, church,
theater or other buildings raises the
temperature and increases the mOis-
ture. When the temperature rises
above 86'F. and the humidity above

they cause suffering, and when they
rise still higher they may cause
heatstroke. In winter, on the other
hand, the heated air in buildings is
usually too dry; often the humidity
falls to 20 per cent, which is lower
than that in desert. Air as dry as
this draws moisture from the skin
and from the mucous membranes Of
the nose, throat and mouth and irri-
tates them. To be comfortable the
humidity Of a workroom should be
about 90 per cent, and it would pay
the plant manager to see that it is
kept that high, for at so per cent less
heat is necessary and coal is saved; a
temperature Of go F. is quite high
enough If the work is active.
The ventilation Of many factories
and offices depends on factors over
which the workers have little control.
At home, however, in their rooms
they have fewer or no other persons
TO consider and may be able to insist
on pure air, especially at night.
wight Alrs
The idea that night air is unhealthy
and must be shut out is a survival
from the days when men barricaded
themselves to keep enemies from
stealing upon them under cover Of
darkness; it was reinforced later, be-
fore window screens were invented,
when Misunderstanding mosquitoes en-
tered by night through Enclosed win
dows. Night air is exactly like day
air, and neither of them is anything
like so injurious as the air in a room
whose windows are closed and whose
door is probably never opened all
night long, no matter how many per-
sons are breathing into it carbon di-
oxide, and rebreathing it, all night
long.
If drafts upon the bed are feared
they may be prevented by getting a
piece of board about IL inches wide
and nearly as long as the window
sash is wide. Raise the lower sash,
slip the board in beneath it and draw
the sash down upon it. Outside air
will travel upward between the two
sashes and spill into the room over
the top Of the lower sash. This is
nothing like so satisfactory as having
the upper sash completely down, but
it will do lot for that sick headachy
feeling that you have had every
morning on waking up.

knowledge of fundamental social and
economic facts to stand in the van
guard of the onward march. The av-
erage intelligence of the labor move
ment depends upon the proportion Of
the organized workers who are in
possession of the knowledge without
which intelligent progress is impos-
sible. This knowledge involves an
active interest in the affairs of the
working class in every phase of So
ciety. It involves the attainment Of
a familiarity with the broad princi-
pies of economic progress which
makes the worker instinctively feel
the right thing to do. Upon the mat
ter Of tactics and detail there is sure
to be disagreement and various opin-
ions, but upon fundamental principles
the organized workers who know why
they are organized instinctively know
the right stand to take.
An Increasingly large number of
the organized workers are educating
themselves to a knowledge of funda-
mental reasons for their organiza-
tons. And just as the number of
those who are. so interested increase,
so will the power of the labor move
ment make itself felt in a greater de-
gree.

Ventilation.

Ventilation.
To keep on livirs everyone must
have sufficient air to breathe, and to
keep on being healthy this air should
be sufficiently pure and sufficiently
moist and sufficiently cool, says the
United States Public Health Service.
By ventilation all these ends are
sought to be attained.
In the open air, away from nox-
ious gases, ventilation looks after it
self; elsewhere, particularly in the
houses or in any closed spaces, it
must be looked after. No matter
how pure the air in such a space may
be, anyone who enters it at once be-
gins to pollute it with his breath, and
it will ultimately become injurious to
health unless it is renewed by natural
means (such as the wind) or by arti-
fetal means.
Renewal is necessary because when
breathing in" one takes away some
thing from the air (oxygen), and
when breathing out" one adds
something to the air carbon diox-
ide). Oxygen is taken from in
breathed air by the blood that circu-
1ates through the lungs and is car
ried away to help the food build up
the body, keep it warm, and energies
it-gives it power to move. Oxygen
constitutes about one-ffth of the air,
and about one-half Of that one-fifth is
breathed out, unchanged, and may be
breathed over again.
Carbon diOxide is part of the waste

FIRST
DEMAND ON TRADE
UNION MOVEMENT
(By Charles Lammert, Editor of The
Painter and DeeoratOr.l

When proposals are advanced for
the betterment Of the labor move
ment, IL is because those interested
in it recognize the necessity for prog
ress and not because they feel that
the movement is not operating sue
cessfully. The labor movement has
been and is a tremendous success. It
has been and is the bulwark of pro-
lection for the wage Garner, organ
lied and unorganized. But what holds
true for other great impulses also
holds true for labor. There is always
q need for improvement in the char
acter and policy of the movement.
One Of the greatest needs Of the
labor movement today is education,
although not necessarily the kind of
education that is secured by attend
ance ct the recognised educational in
situations Of the country, although
such instruction should by no means
be belittled. Labor has contended for
the right Of every person to secure
the fullest possible use Of the schools
and universities Of the country.
While it is true that schools have
been used for the benefit Of those
who control the affairs Of state, it is
equally true that no person, however
advanced in the labor movement, has

ever been heard to bemoan the fact
that he or she had received too much
of the education which is obtained
through attendance at the establish
ed educational institutions. The rea-
son is plain. About the time one
would discover that the educational
facilities of the country were being
used to drag the mind Of the youth of
the nation into satisfaction with the
existing state of society, there would
come the realization that the thing
which appeared to be evil in some re-
spects could be turned to great good
in all respects. In other words, the
worker must have some education Of
the kind obtained in our schools and
universities in order to learn how to
learn
Develop individually.
But the education that the labor
movement needs directly is different,
And it applies equally to the "well
educated" wage Garner as well as to
those who are not so fortunately
placed. It applies to the laborer and
the school teacher, to the mechanic
and the Office man. In the first place
the worker should take upon himself
to understand the fundamental facts
in connection with his position in
society. It is not sufficient to know
in vague way why he is organized.
If the labor movement is to move
faster toward its goal it can only do
so when its membership understand
something about the principles un-
