At the bottom of the window is
the light trap, held in place by
stripes of wood nailed to the wall
a few inches above the sill. The
air turns the corner between the
top of the box and the sill and
continues downward to the end
of the box parallehng the wall.
This side of the box extends be-

across the top of the box will hold

For proper ventilation there
should be an inlet for fresh air
and an outlet for used-up air,
though in a room with an open

will generally do.
The circulation of air will be
better if the doors of rooms can

matching patriotic words with deeds.
Mr.. Milor has offered his 250-acre
farm on the Darnestown road just

ment without cost for the duration

ferred, thanking him for the offer
and telling him that he would be
notified in case the department de-
cided to use the farm.
His principal aim in making the
offer, Mr.. Milor explained, was the
possible conversion of a Broom
house on the land into an air-rald
shelter for school children. In addl-
ton, he said, the Government might
use the timber on the farm for low

When windows are covered to
prevent light from going out, it
is also difficult for air to come in.
Particularly in warm weather,
some means of ventilation should
be provided.
Merely opening the window be-
hind the blackout material is not
only insufficient but also danger
Gus. Ventilation through heavy
window covering may not be good
enough and there is always the
risk that q sudden guest of wind
will blow the curtain aside.
A simple method of achieving a
flow of air is to attach rings or
hooks at the bottom of the black
out material so that it is kept
at a little distance from the
window. At the same time fix
strips of cloth or cardboard at
the sides of the window to keep
light from escaping.
Ventilation Light Trap.
You can also make ventilation
openings in blackout curtains and
sew an awning effect over them
so that the holes are shielded
from the light within the room.
The best method, however, is to
fit proper ventilator light trap
which will let in air but will not
let out light, proceeding on the
principle that while air currents
will flow around corners. light
rays travel only in straight lines.
The light trap must have two
right-angle turns and be made
non-reflecting by painting the
inside of the trap black.

Mrs. Roosevelt Urges
Haired Be Withheld
For Postwar Task
Presents YuIe Check and
Toy at Ceremonies at
Salvation Army

Mothers, fathers and even a A.
year-old boy yesterday were asked
by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt TO
take as their Christmas task the
of bitterness against
other nations.
Her request was made TO an audi
ence of 260 persons who received
Christmas checks and toys from the
Salvation Army at its headquarters,
426 Sixth street NV. Mrs. Roosevelt
handed the first check to Mrs. Eliza
beth Harrison, 215 C street NV,
and the first package of toys to one
of Mrs. Harrison's seven children,
Jimmy, aged 4.
Reconstruction of the world is this
Nations task after the war. Mrs.
Roosevelt maintained, and nothing
can be accomplished in spirit OF
revenge.
Looks to Postwar Days.
"I feel sure that you will join all
the peoples of this Nation" she said.
lin hoping that the spirit of love for
YOUR fellow man, which lies back OF
the Christmas story. will stay with
us in time of war and hatred.
Love for their fellow men, she
maintained, will bring the country
through its testing time and give 1t
the strength ito build a new order"
when the war is done.
While Americans cannot very well
60 about wishing each other a
merry" Christmas. she said, at least
it will be a sadder day in many
countries than here.
Two weeks of war have turned
the Nations Christmas from COM
mercial celebration to a demonstra-
ton of unity and solidarity, said
the Right Rev. James E. Freeman,
Bishop of Washington.
I'VE have gotten away from COM
mercialism and the spirit of Christ
mas belonging to one group" said
Bishop Freeman. Never before, he
said. has he seen the Nation so
sondly together in fellowship.
Armed with Devotion.
Instead of a merry Christmas,
he contended, the Nation will spend
an intelligent" one in the realiza-
ton of what Christmas Joy really
means.
None of the joys of Christmas
can be taken from us by war" he
said, because they are not ephe-
neral but permanent" The Ma
ton stands armed not only with
guns but devotion to God and to
each other, he concluded.
Nearly $50 more checks were dis
tributed to colored families yester-
day at 1901 Seventh street NV.
Checks ran up to So and were given
instead of baskets to permit fam
lilies to choose what they particu-
larly want for Christmas.
