selves which will let the fresh air in
and make sure that it is fresh In the
bargain? You have all probably heard
of the cabinet devices which are on
the market to do this job, but did you
know that there are inexpensive ways
of doing it which even the most linn
tied budget can afford?
For instance, you can obtain a small
def1ector device to put in front of each
window which will not only defect the
breeze from blowing things about the
room or off your desk, but will also
filter out the dust before the air even
gets into the room. The whole unit is
installed in the same way that ordi-
nary glass deflectors are put in. only
up at the top is located gauze holder
which holds the air filter The gauze
filter itself is easily removable, as is
the entire unit, so that 1t can be re-
placed or cleaned when it has absorbed
enough dust and unWanted dirt.

IF YOU want to install more
elaborate unit which will supply
a definite amount of fresh air by
means of a motor-driven fan you can
do so at surprisingly low cost this
year. This type of unit is built in
the shape of a small cabinet which
Evening star., 1938-05-28

is placed under a partly opened win
dow. The cabinet contains. besides
the motor-driven fan or blower, a
very efficient filter of the type used
in the latest air-conditioning ma
chimes. Some units, in fact, include
a silencing section which operates
in the same manner that a gun may
be silenced.
With a unit Of this sort installed
in one window of each room you can
leave the other windows tightly closed
and still be assured of as much, If
not more, fresh air than you were
able to coax through all the wide
open windows. Then again, on dull,
dead days. when hardly leaf is
stirring outside, this little unit will
pull in a merry breeze and liven up
the atmosphere of your home or Office
to a very appreciable extent.

the use of a large fan up in the attic
