THIS INVENTION KNOCKS OUT FOG

LONDON, Dec. 10.-If expert
ments soon to be tried in London
prove successful, an invention per-
fected by Demetrio Maggiora may
be introduced in some of the large
cities of America and result in
the doing away with those great
est of inconvenience, smoke and
fog.
Signor Maggiora's device is a gil
gantic horn attached to a tank for
the generation and explosion of
acetylene gas. The whole is a sort
of gas cannon that sets the air to
vibrating and forces the fog and
smoke upward until it is caught
and carried away by the winds
The inventor claims that one of
these fog guns will exert an influ-
ence over area six miles in ex-
tent and that by scattering a few
of them around the edg of a city
and pointing them toward a com
mon center, the atmosphere may
be entirely cleared of fog and
smoke at a trifling cost.
Under pressure of the explosion,
which will not be heard or felt in
any part of the city" said the in
ventOr, the volume of air attainS
rotary motion with a speed of $50
yards second. 1t is capable of at
tanning a height of 1000 yards,
while the conclusion reaches six
| miles"
A London newspaper recently eS-
timated that the total loss caused
by one day Of fog in London aver
ages $750,000. Maggiora's fog

Did Jim Fitzharris, the big patrol
man. smile today? That's a queer
questionable you ever see "FitZ'
when he wasn't smiling? The
Press smile club would not malign
Fitz for the world by comparing
other than his features to our Ev-
erett True. But ritz is almost the
original of the cartoons, only he's
always happy, and Everett, most of
the time, is so busy setting the
world right, correcting peoples
manners, etc, that his face usually
bears a scowl. Fitz, though, as far
as facial resemblance and size is
concerned. is Everett's double, bald
head and all.
Happy-Go-Lucky BILL Smith is
another smiler. A man would not
be blamed for becoming thorough
crank when he is compelled to car
ry the keys to the city bastile all
the time. But not so with Bill Hes
always happy-if his smile is any
criterion of his mental condition.
Desk Sergeant-Photographer-Car-
penter's Helper-Bertillion Expert
Lewis, of the department, smiled
today, too Lewis hasn't smiled for
so long that some of his brother
officers began to think his face had
just naturally grown to be solemn.
1t cracked today, though, cracked
in wide, broad smile-and every
one else smiled when it did. AL
though William Bill Lewis don't
smile very often, when he does, it's
contagious.

the department. and incidentally.

APPEAL TO CENTRAL BODY

The building laborers' union en-
tered a protest in the central body
last night against the cement work
ers' union claiming jurisdiction
over cement work In buildings. A
member of the building laborers
union presented it's argument. The
building laborers, not being regu-
larly represented by delegates in
the central body, the communica-
ton was turned over to the cement
workers union, as the central
union lacked authority to make any
adjustment of the differences exist
ing between the local unions.

right near the grandstand.
Two specials will be run over the South

oommodate the bookmakers and others
connected with the track who must be on
the ground earlier than the general pup

as to reach the course about ten minutes
before the first race, and will be con-

last night. The game was a fast exhibi-

Throughout the game the final score and

For the first half the Juniors seemed to
have little the better of things. They
ran up 10 points TO the preps Z with con-

shaken severely at the beginning of the
second half, when the preps started in
with a rush and scored two goals. The
