Method Of Dealing With
the Smoke Nuisance.

f,4 l Z
Gern1any}ha adopted characteristic
method OF dealing with the smoke ihis-
iance by establishing travelling courses for
sflremen, It being realized that the chief
cause Of smoke Is the unframed fireman.
$s8These travelling courses were established
three years ago BY the Ministry OF Com
merce and Trade and since then over
800 men have awaited themselves Of them.
The instruction is given in fourteen-day
courses, and comprises theoretical and
practical instruction by anacademically
trained engineer and a competent fire
man. It's object Is not only the proven ton
of smoke but a safe and economical treat
snnent Of steam boilers. SO that mot only
the public interest. but that Of the owners
i Of boilers. Is taken into account. These
continued courses are given wherever a
sufficient attendance can be expected.
The State bears part Of the expenses,
and from time to time sends out expert
firenlen to visit steam plants In order$to
watch the boiler attendants, call their
attention to mistakes or defects, and give
them practical Instruction Tttetl reference
to firing and safety appliances. Only
when the services gof the expert are de-
sired for several days has fee to be
paid. The interest shown In the ipstruc-
tion Is Constantly Increasing aud its
value, based upon the results obtained, Is
more and more appreciated. 3
