laudable but hitherto very unsuccessful
campaign against the London smoke nui-

the sunlight, and where there was no SUM-
light there was no color.
He went 80 far as to ascribe physical
deficiencies of the poor to his pet aversion.
Promising that nothing could grow without
light, he declared that poor girls were often
toothless, while the terrible snub noses
