No matter if you have the snif-

in the summer time, air condition-
ing your own house will mean no

All of which might be true.
House Design May Change
This system of controlling the
temperature, the humidity and the
1 dust content of the air in our own
homes has certain possibilities. In
, fact it may change the design of
i houses quite radically.
Cloud Wampler, president of the
j Carrier Corp.. manufacturers of air
i conditioning equipment, expects
i one of the biggest changes in house
i design to be in windows. Sine* it
' is unnecessary and undesirable to
: open windows when the air in a
j house is being controlled, unmov-
■ able windows may be used more
and more.
Windows, says this observer.

Sheathing paper should never
be air tight. It is intended to shed
water, which may leak into joints
in siding, but it must be porous
enough to permit the passage of
vapor The use of vapor-tight
papers and building feltr over
sheathing, puts a vapor barr.er in
the wrong place, where cold out-
door air can cause warmer mois-
ture in the wall to condense into
water.
