THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. APRnJ 9, 1921. Ventilating Modern Homflk - . j. ; i VEARL E. WHITEHORN. For some 50,000 years, more or less, men and women hive been wor rying about the ventilation of the home. Back in those days of the old stone age, it was a very distressing problem. The Neanderthal men were living in their grottoes in the valley of the Loire in France and thereabouts, and the caves were deep nd dry' and warmer than out of doors. But the smoke of the do mestic hearth fire was more than even their eyes and lungs could bear, and the cave man and his family were compelled to live much of their lives on the ledge outside their ref uge and to endure the discomports and uncertainties of-the weather to escape the bad ventilation of the otherwise comfortable cave. -.Then came the first attempt at a house a frame of boughs covered with clay and sod, and the lack of ventilation was a curse, for they built the fire in the center of the floor and there was no outlet for the -smoke except through the low door way. And it was still so in the great hall in the days of the Vikings where the smoke rose to the rafters and gradually filled the room, until they thought to cut a hole up in the ceritter f the,.roof through which some of it escaped. i TVi rhimnv ram later verv ' ouch later in fact, tt was actually mat until the twelfth century that, in Normandv. some Kenius conceived this simple basis idea of ventilation, and built a flue over his hearth fire to gather the offending smoke right at its source and carry it away. - But as our culture, nas progressed and our standards of living have been refined, .our ideas of ventila tion have also broadened. We are no longer satisfied to be rid of the smoke only. We want to be free oi the odors of the cooking in our homes. When a school or hospital or big auditorium is built nowadays, the problem of ventilation receives very careful consideration. A ventilating engineer studies the prospective needs of the building and installs fans and flues to insure an adequate circulation of air. But in the house, the home where we live our lives and provide so many other safe guards for the health and comfort of the family, we still leave this vital matter of ventilation largely to chance. Chimneys carry off the smoke and gases from the furnace and the range. We have windows to open and let in fresh ah. But few of us have any very intelligent Or decided system about using them, and the practice varies with the judgment. . Vcntitation is not something that can be left to chance. It should be provided 'for just as heating is pro vided for, but the way is simple and the cost is slight. The wonder is that everybody does not do it now that electricity has come to be the almost universal sen-ant. For an ex haust fan in the kitchen is all that is needed to put an end to the un pleasantness of kitchen odors in the house. ' The exhaust fan 'for household ventilation is just an electric fan that is permanently installed high up in the wall of the kitchen! in an open ing provided for it, so that, in opera tion, the fan blows the air of the kitchen, with all the smoke and steam, directly outdoors and away. This sets sets up a"n immediate cir culation of air from the house into the kitchen and no more smells of cooking work their way out into the other rooms. The result is that boiling cabbage does not greet the guest at the front door. Cauliflower may be cooking cheerily and nobody beyond the kitchen knows it. A ham may be boiled, baked and brought to the full point of perfection and still be a surprise to the household when it comes npon the table. . The air from the house flows to the kitchen "Bowen's" r i yfhy Ye Should Buy anil Use ; Eldredge Two . Spool ' ' RoUry Sewing Machine Stop winding bobbin! !

IS and 16th but the kitchen air can never work its way into the house. But there is more than just the smells, of cooking to be considered in the matter of kitchen ventilation. With it come two other benefits at the same time: first, better working conditions for the cook through im proved ventilation and less heat in summer time and, second, a real saving to decorations, hangings and furniture throughout the house by eliminating the fumes, smoke and soot which- inevitably , work their way from the cookstove throughout the house and gradually deposit a film of grease on everything, on which, of course, dust settles and dirt clings, ruining colors, fabrics and wall papers. The exhaust fan may be installed in any kitchen. Sometimes a square opening is cut in the wall into which the fan fits. Sometimes agection of the upper sash of a window is taken out to avoid the cutting of the wall Often the fan is fitted into a direct flue leading from the hood over the range into the chimney. To prevent the entrance of cold . air into the kitchen when the fan is not in use, a shutter -is installed that acts au tomatically when the fan is in opera tion, blown open by the blast of air. This protection may be made doubly tight ty fitting a little storm sash on the outside, but this is not necessary except in very exposed locations. The fan need be running only about three hours a day an hour during the cooking of each meal and the cost will not exceed 3 cents a day. At the recent opening of the Brit ish parliament, women police guard ed the entrance to the House oi Lords for the first time in history.
