Show winter. Wcstinghouse points out that while we carefully cleanse our food and water, the air we breathe may contain 2,000,000 particles of dust, dirt, and pollen per cubic foot. Such germs as influenza, which float through the air in search of fresh victims, are extremely sensitive not only to heat, but to humidity, too. The American Society Healing and Ventilating Engineers says these germs die off when the relative humidity is about 50 percent, but thrive when the atmosphere is either much damper or drier. The exact temperature and humidity at which you feel and work best is a matter of individual preference. In fact, a office building in Pittsburgh installed 900 separate air conditioners instead of one central unit so each person could have the atmosphere he prefers. But in general, the favorite temperature lies somewhere between 68 and 75 aegrees, wnue numiauy ranges irom w to w percent Many air conditioners, such as Philco and Crosley, offer controls to suit these individual tastes. And the Crosley can even be set to go off or on automatically. And Cory Corhas completely automatic pushporation's Fresh'nd-Air- e button controls to regulate air temperature and circulation. 900-roo- ' Tampax frees you from pins, .

The Consolidated Edison Company of New, York estimates that the average -- ton unit in a bedroom will use $11.14 in electricity over the peak cooling season; the average nno.tnn nnnrlitinnpr will hkp $19.50 worth. Carrier points out that while it may cost $200 to keep a house warm in winter, the same house can be kept cool in summer for less than half that amount. Let's say you decide to outdo Emperor Heliogabalus and choose the air conditioner that seems best for your needs. If it's electrically operated, there's still a chance it won't work properly unless the wiring in your home is reinforced. The National Adeauate Wiring Bureau says that wiringin cfan- 20,000,000 American homes is inefficient and sometimes eerous. And it recommends a three-wir- e. service as essentiaktp safe operation of today's appliances. Modern science says our weather is gradually getting warmer and some day the United States, may beyas tropical as Malaya. But let it come. Mark Twain wasyflead wrong when he said that everybody talks about the weather but does anything about it. With the coming of age of the industry, Americans are doing plenty about it.
