How to Make a Black-out Ventilator
BLACK-OUT conditions spell stuffy interiors far too often for healthy living. An ordinary human being uses up on an averago about 32 gal. lons of fresh air per minute. Thus there must be a constant ro-change of air in room, office or workshop, etc.
Living and sleeping in stale alc bring many penalties. Powers of concentration are, weakened; head- athe and dizziness may appear; anaemla develops; appetites grow poor and nicky; and the body's eiatural resistance to disease is great- ly lowered.

Boys grow more quickly than girls in the first year, and at three months the average male infant should be 13 1b. and the female 11b, 14oz.
