Ventilator Made Having just read E. Wood. Sechrists article concern- ing the Hanson ventilatorin Gleanings for December, 1921, I take itupon myself to offer a suggestion as to amore simple way to obtain the same result. Mr. Sechrists idea is very good and wor-thy of consideration. I intend to use it inmy own yard during the coming year. Having spent 12 years at the carpenterstrade, I naturally like to make things ofwood, especially when I think I can improvethem by doing so. When making my ventila-. tors, I leave the hole in the super, as has suggested, but discard thethree metal parts and in their place puta piece of %-inch board about 2 x 5% board will have been sawed in two atan angle both on its face and thickness asshown in cut. The smaller piece is nailedto the super, and the larger piece is fastenedwith one l^i-inch No. 10 R. H. screw in sucha way as to allow it to swing on the swinging the larger piece around and let-ting it hang in a vertical position, the ven-tilator is left open, and by placing a stickbetween the saw-cut, the ventilator can beopened to any size desired. Both pieces are fastened to super, therefore there is no dan-ger of losing any of the parts. This ventilator can be made almost air-tight, due to the manner in which the boardhas been cut in two, as the harder the largerpiece is pushed in the smaller piece, thetighter it hugs the super. Mr. Sechrist claims his ventilators costhim two cents ea
