FOR “FRESH-AIR BABIES”

• Youngsters may enjoy air and sunshine in a new-styled crib, suspended from windows high above-the-streets.-In the near future, in your travels about the city streets, you will cast your eye upward and see what appears to be a sort of icebox, and not until you see chubby hands wildly gesticulating through the screened sides will you know that this is the latest device, constructed so that baby, may have all the air and sunshine there is to be had. In tenement sections as well as in the sections occupied by none but the elite this crib is now being accepted as a necessity for the bringing up of "fresh-air babies.” The cribs are close screened and are of welddd pressed steel and anchor firmly in any window and are constructed »o resist 50(1 pounds pressure; Wind and storm cannot budge them. They are fly and mosquito proof.
