a house weathertight works both
ways. It, keeps dampness out and
also keeps it in. Therefore ventila-
ton becomes all the more i'm
lportant.
Homes built over crawl spaces,
instead of basements-common
practice throughout the South
and West Coast-have the added
problem of dampness arising from
the ground. Engineers recon-
mend that ventilating openings
for such crawl spaces should total
2 square feet for every 100 linear
feet of building perimeter, plus
Ione-third Of l per cent Of the
ground area in the crawl space.
At Least Four Openings.
This amounts to a surprising
size of ventilating openings. Fig
Iure it out for yourself. Chances
are that present openings are far
too small. Furthermore, If you use
llouvers, or screening that is any
finer than quarter-inch, the ven-
tilating opening must be still
larger.
Evening star., 1952-01-05

There should be at least four
openings, one near each corner,
and as high UP as possible in the
walls Of the crawl spaces. They
should never be closed-better in
sulate the floor.
Dampness from the ground can
be stopped with a waterproof con-
crete slab. or heavy roll roofing
Tapped at least two inches. When
this damp-proofing is provided,
the amount Of ventilation can be
cut down to as little as one tenth.
Walls and ceilings need vapor
barriers on the warm inner side.
These prevent moisture from con-
denSing in the walls and rotting
structural lumber.
In fact. sweating windows can
be godSend. They serve as a
danger signal, showing when in
door moisture is trying to get out.
But don't take them too seriously.
Ng you have only a little fog and
no complications with paintwork,
your house will survive.

Houses Too Well Built.

Natural gas, especially, is a
serious offender in steaming up
homes. Gas-fired floor furnaces
cause a lot of trouble from con-
densation If they are not ade-
quately vented.
Only Known Remedies.
The only known remedies fol
excess condensation are:
/. Control of moisture sources
closing bathroom doors and open
ing windows after bathing; closing
kitchen doors and opening win.
dows or using ventilating fans dur
ing cooking; venting all gas burn
ers, clothes dryers, ETC., to the out
doors; eliminating all containers

ing heating plant humidif1ers.
Q. Ventilation Outdoor air In
cold weather contains so much
less humidity than warm indoor
air, that it quickly absorbs mois-
ture. Frequent and thorough ven-
tilation does much to keep a house

evaporation. Condensation is al
most always the most critical in

been heated thoroughly for some

the use of weather stripping

A red and blue pencil offers the best

Others prefer to underline passages
that make an especial appeal. This
method is always good for what most
persons think of as "heavy" books.

The Air Force Serves Worninu

The Air Force has served justifiable warn
ing upon the Soviet government in announcing
through an official spokesman" that American
aircraft have the right to defend themselves
against Red attack in non-Russian territory.
Such defensive action may take either or
both of two forms. Aircraft carrying operational
guns and combat crews are authorized to fire
if attacked. Aircraft not equipped for their own
defense may be provided with fighter escort that
will be SO equipped While the spot decision on
what to do is being left to pilots and overseas
commanders disclosure that Air Force personnel
have this discretionary authorization suggests
that we no longer intend to match bullets with
words in such incidents of aggression.
Red aircraft, obviously with Moscow's ap-
proval have too often attacked n-Russian
planes in non-Russian territorial air. Some of
these cases have involved American aircraft.
United States Navy plane was shot down over
the Baltic Sea two years ago and an Air Force
B-29 was shot down earlier this month over
northern Japanese waters. In neither case did
the American plaAe return the Red fire; in
fact, in each case the American craft was
described as being unequipped for combat action.
The State Departments protest on the re-
cent incident urged the Soviet government
seriously to consider the grave consequences
which can flow from its reckless practice, if
persisted in, of attacking without provocation
the aircraft of other states"
Defensive action could indeed be grave
consequence in itself, and could lead to graver
ones. But it is course which is being forced
upon us by the Soviet governments own "wan-
ton and unjusti1able" policies of unprovoked
aggression.
