but now it is looked upon as an active
menace to health. if not to life itself.
With every breath. We are assured by
the experts, We draw into our lungs
countless dust particles, which are just
as useful and handy in our breathing
mechanism as they would be in the
mechanism of watch. The war against
dust that is waged by public health Of
ficials has resulted in the invention of
a new means for counting the number
of dust particles in a given quantity of
air. This is called the war for the
straight red line
What is the straight, red line? On
a, chart on which conditions of ven
tilation arc plotted graphically. the
straight line along the bottom rep
resents ideal conditions Of ventilation
Ea rating of 100 per cent. This con-
dition has been attained just once, it
is said. on the deck of boat in the
middle of Lake Michigan on a mid
summer day. Here the conditions
were plotted on chart as a straight
red line along the bottom. In our
schools, factories. churches and pub
Tic buildings. however. the red line is
crooked affair, as yet, and one of
the pieces of artillery which will
help us pound our way to the straight
red line is the dust counter invented
by an American scientist.
In itself the dust counter is an
rnimpressive object, considering the
work it is supposed to do. 1t looks
and acts like a large brass syringe
the sort of instrument with which a
horse doctor is equipped.
~ The character of the dust found in
various places is widely different,
from the lint of clothing factory to
Che bits of leaf in the air of a cigar
making shop. The study of dust par
fieles in the air is really so new a
Ecience that conditions in general are
dxr from satisfactory.
~ An architect who was supervising
1the building of motion picture thea
ter applied at the building depart
p1ent for permission to make his ven
&..ating shaft, which would convey
fresh air to the audience, of patent
wood fiber board. His reason was

ffber surface through the counter.
- The slip of glass was then put un-
der the microscope, and was shown to
be almost covered with minute, lint
like fragments. Even the architect,
Mho was anxious to use the fiber
Board because OF its inexpensiveness,
was convinced by one look into the
Snicroscope. With the best intentions
Ia the world of supplying the pro-
kpecttive audiences with fresh air, he
1eEould have succeeded only In giving
ehern an unwholeeome amount OF dust
10 breathe. And the more fresh air
