EXAMINING SUBW4Y AIR.
DR.. Soper Comparing 1t lcith Spect-
mems from the East Side.

In the laboratory at the Health Department
used by Dr. George A. Soper. consulting sani-
tartan. are rows and rows OF neatly labelled
bottles containing air-and germs. From thu
contents OF these bottles DR.. Soper hopes to
settle the exact status of the air in the sub
way. especially in its relation TO the outside at
mosphere.
For three weeks inspectors have been busy
bottling air in the subway; they have visited the
Easements Of department stores and have
climbed the steeples of churches they have
gathered the rarehed atmosphere from the top
of the Flatron Building. and caught the reek-
ing gases OF the Ghetto. Duly labelled with
time. place and temperature. they await DR..
Soper's analysis.
The hunt ended yesterday. and the inspectors
gathered at the laboratory TO compare notes.
The men who had chased the elusive germ from
the Battery 10 The Bronx were certain that they
had the prize specimens. The steeplechasers
told Of long climbs ghosts in the befries and
rsrefied temperatures. while those unfortunates
who had explored the East Side were certain
that the prize packages were contained in their
TASKS. An inspector lifted from a basket which
ne had Just brought I'm dark looking bottle,
saying:
This is a sample from the Ghetto. I cut it with
knife and pushed II i'm through a funnel 1t
is guaranteed 20 contain the germs OF tuber-
culosis smallpox. yellow fever and other ills
too numerous tn mention. I'm il lie the bases
Of tho worlds perfumes.
Another inspector was certain that the air
in the basement Of certain department stores
was worse than that in the subway. He cited
several examples
DR.. Soper has been analyzins these specimens
as they were brought in He says that in about
three weeks he will make definite report show
ing the difference between the air at every sta
tion Of the subway and that OF inc surrouiiuii's
streets and buildings.
