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 average about 32 gal- lons of fresh air per minute. Thus there must be a constant re-change of air in room, office or workshop, etc. ·

Living and sleeping in stalo air bring many penalties, Powers, of concentration are weakened; head- ache and dizziness may appear annemia develops; appetites row poor and finicky; and the body's natural resistance to disease is great. ly lowered. It is obvious then that forms of ventilation which permli o constant inflow of fresh air while completely excluding light are war defences of high value.

THE TEXT-BOOKS tell us that a baby boy immediately after birth should be 20.6 inches long and 7lb. 100%, in weight, while a girl is very slightly shorter and weighs 7oz. less.

Boy's grow more quickly than girls in the first year, and at three months the average male infant should be 13 tb, and the female 11fb. 14oz.

As the child grows the weekly in- crease diminishes. Seasons, teething llness and fussy parents may cause variations in the weekly weighings.
