New Type All Filler
For Furnaces Ends
Replacement Jo,
By B. N. Darwin

The air you breathe normally
contains thousands Of tons Of
dust, lint and pollen. Often this
means irritation and even dam
ger Of respiratory disorders.
Homes with air conditioning and
forced warm air heating systems
are In the most advantageous
position to enjoy filtered air for
finer. healthier living.
All air filters lose efficiency
when dirty. Like many home
owners, this writer experienced
q yearly replacement cost because
the type 81 air filter installed In
his gas heating unit would only
last for one year.
From the standpoint Of the
utility company this probably
was considered q good deal be-
cause It meant an annual sale
In every home where conditions
were identical and twice yearly
in areas where the conditions
were aggravated.
Now there has been developed
an all-aluminurn air filter which
Is washable and which assures
eason-after-season use, thus af-
fordihg annual savings when
compared TO the cost Of dispos-
able filters that must be replaced
annually or twice yearly.
Whenever this new air filter
becomes dirty, all one need do
Is slide II out from either the
air conditioning or forced hot
air unit, flush it with 3 stream
Of water from q hose or the
kitchen tap through the inlet
dirty side Of the filter and re-
charge the unit.
Recharging Is quite easy, takes
about 30 seconds, and increases
the efficiency of the hitter. This
Is done BY simply spraying the
filter with an adhesive type coat
ing which the manufacturer has
made available. The filter can
then be replaced in the unit.
This washable, all-aluminum
air filter employs q baffie-type
pattern. In this pattern. each
layer Is scientifically staggered,
the manufacturer claims. This
sets up q controlled high turbu-
fence Of air travel he adds, which
centrifuges air-borne particles
on the repeated layers Of adhe-
sive-coated. dust-holding hafiies
Of the filter.
BY using q coarser bafiie pat
tern In the intake side, surface
clogging Is reduced while pro-
viding maximum passage Of air.
Ten different stock sizes are
available as well as special sizes.
Wax Remover.
A new solvent, now on the
market, when diluted one cup to
q gallon Of hot water. removes
built-up wax and dirt from floors
of linoleurn. asphalt tile. vinyl
+ and rubber tile.
The new wax remover Is first
diluted and then the solution Is
kptead generously with q mop or
blush sso that 1t covers the en-
tire floor. The solution should
then be allowed TO remain from
II 70 10 minutes ON the noor.
Then 1t is simply mopped up with
i cloth or mop which is wrung
frequently In clear. warm water.
The floor can then be rewaxed.
In those few instances where
stubborn stains are encountered.
. richer solution may be used or
even dabs Of the wax remover

Dear Bernie:
AS a resident of Greater
Boston, I feel I must say a
word. in defense of Bob and
Rays type of humor, which a
correspondent of yours singled
out In an attack on Monitor.
There are three types Of peo-
pie In the world: those who
like the Hope-Benny humor;
those who enjoy Bob and Ray,
Henry Morgan. Fred Allen.
Ransom Sherman. George
Gobel; and those who have no
sense Of humor. Your corre-
spondent is obviously in the
latter class. since she would
not wish to be identified with
broad" nonintellectual hui
NOR. This should disqualify
her as a judge, just as lack of
m math e m a tical knowledge
would disqualify one from
judging Euclidian or non-Eu-
clidian geometry superior to
the other. No doubt her literal
mind was bored by Swift and
repelled by Edgar Poe. But
there are many in Boston who
enjoy. the whimsical satire of
Bob and Ray every weekday
afternoon from S to 6. Your
correspondent is more to be
pitied than censured.
j. P. Fitzgibbon.
N. B.: Satirists are funny
only go per cent of the time,
since this type Of humor is by
nature the most difficult to de-
velop and sustain.
(But, Mr.. F., the Bob and Ray
satire on a full hour show is
one thing-and in broken,
quickie segments on Monitor.
quite another. I admire their
comedy, too-but find them
funny only 1877 per cent of
the time.)
Dear Mr.. H.:
Gosh, but that interview
with Jack Webb must have
been impressive as all heck!
Too bad the results printed in
the paper weren't just a lot
of warmed-over stuff that had
been told and retold. But you
were really the FIRST to talk
to him that morning? And you
rode in a CADDY? My gosh,
boy. you have now reached

(On second thought, kid, it
seems to me that satire is ef-
fective only 5 per cent Of the
time.)
Dear Mr.. Harrison:
This is being written as
'just one mans opinion but I
am sure there are many many
more who agree that Miss

Robots Think"

The next time your weather
forecaster predicts a sunny day
and you sport your new hat. only
to be caught in the rain, it's quite
possible that the object of your
wrath be one who couldn't care
less - a robot
This new weatherman isn't like
ly to get a sponsored television
show, but he's successfully wealth
cred the storm of experimental
testing.
The robot, actually an automatic
weather observing station, takes
measurements of the weather ele-
ments unattended and then puts
the data in an operational code
for teletypewriter transmission, 1t
then waits its turn on the circuit
and sends at the proper time in
sequence with other stations at
tended by human observers.
Three of these robots are in
present use: two in mountainous
places that would involve personal
hardships for human observers.
According to the American Peo-
! Piles Encyclopedia for 1855. robots
of this type are partial answer
to persistent demands for econo-
my at a time when stormy wealth.
er requires more frequent observa-
tions at more places, in order to
issue timely warnings.
The giant robot has baby bro
ther, according to the Yearbook
article, that will help take the
bumps out of airplane landings.
This is an automatic remote-read-
ing mechanism that records CELL
ing and visibility measurements
at the far end of airport runwayS.
As the weather changes the appar-
atus "thinks" and reports landing
conditions at points which may be
as far as a mile away from the
control tower.
The equipment has been success

ten additional airportS will re-

WASHINGTON There is a
growing feeling in top Democra-
tic circles that President Esen-
hover will not be a candidate for
reelection in 1856.
The feeling is sufficiently strong
in some quarters to become al
most a conviction.
But it is in no way sweeping
enough for Democrats to do other
than prepare for the next presi-
dental campaign on the assump-
ton that he will run, a source
has disclosed.
THAT is the only sensible basis
on which to get ready he said to-
day.
SHARED BY PRESS
The impression that President
Eisenhower will not run, which
has been in part fostered by his
attitude at press conferences, is
shared by a great many members
of the Washington press corps.
Speculation onthe matter has
ragged since Vice-PreSident Rich
ard Nixon in a speech stated
frankly that the Republicans
could not win in 1856 without
Eisenhower.
That was the beginning of what
is deemed by many to be a Re-
publican pressure program to
force the President to be a can
didate again.
But the Republicans themselves
haven't helped their program.
One of the most significant
factors involved was a reported
effort to get a solid backing of
Republicans to sign a petition of
confidence in Eisenhower on his
China foreign policy.

The petition was placed before
the Senate on May /. 1t said in
