struction work in the fifth Reserve

Locks for Open Windows.

II your house Is a bungalow type
with the bed rooms on the first floor
and you feel just a bit nervous about
leaving the windows open at night, you
can get locks that will lock the sash
even when open. You can open the
window from the top or bottom OF
both and lock it thus, so you are JUS
as safe from intrusion as though the
