Smoke Here and Elsewhere

homes, whose furnishings had been
paid for by salaries earned in the
factory with the smoky stack May
be the idea came from some one
who did not know how or why
smoke was made, but who wanted
to live in the city, and objected to
smoke on general principles or just
because he or she was just plain
kicker. At any rate, the city Beau
tiful" movement was started some
where, and committees were ap-
pointed to look after various i'm
provements.
The idea grew until cities became
interested and made it a part Of
the city government, along with the
other departments for the order
and health OF the city. hence the
smoke inspector, whose value to the
public pocketbook and health is
now getting the credit it deserves.
Dense black smoke shows incom-
plete combustion. The amount OF
carbon or SCOT It contains is of so
little fuel value that 1t would
scarcely pay a firm, as a monetary
considera ton, to go to the expense
OF burning it. But, and this is OF
Importance TO the stockholders,
managers, directors and every one
in the plant, down to the coal
passers and to the citizens in gen.
eral, where there Is black smoke
there Is live, unburned gases. When
the gases are burned the smoke
is consumed. When all the gas
from a shovelful OF coal is burned
under a boiler or in the fiue spaces.
all the heat 1t contains is used to
make steam. II part OF the gas es.
capes it means that certain per.
centase of the money paid for the
coal is wasted and that the gas Is
free to destroy health, goods and
vegetation, and disfigure the city.
Mr.. McMichael's figures of fifteen
per cent possible saving are not ct
all too high where proper instaIla-
ton and handling is given. OF
course, that should be taken as a.ya.
average. The Power Efficiency
Corporation, of Detroit, Mich, in
connection with the department Of
mechanical engineering of the Uni
versity of Tennessee, and the Ohio
State university, demonstrated, by
evaporation tests. that smoke could
be burned, and fuel saved at the
same time, besides improving the
steaming qualities OF the boiler, by
burning up the SCOT, which pre-
vents it from settling in the tubes.
This should interest every man.
ufacturer in Atlanta, for he can re-
duce the smoke to a minimum and
add to the dividends, while helping
to keep Atlanta in the lead for
health and cleanliness among the
cities OF the South.
1t can be demonstrated to the
manufacturers at a very small cost
that smoke can be burned al a
profit. Mr.. McMichaers greatest
problem is with the householder.

Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-04

Editor The Georgian:
In your issue Of October 20 you
give considerable space and promi-
nence to an article by Inspector
McMicheal on the loss sustained by
the citizens of this city through
dense smoke being allowed to es-
cape from the chimneys in Atlanta.
Mr.. McMichaeIs figures are
probably correct, according to the
tests and observations made in the
cities to which he has reference,
Int those cities are in the north
ern part of the country, where the
CRATE Is not used so much in house
heating. There being seldom more
than two, or, at the most, three,
CRATES in the large residences, and
in the smaller houses of seven to
ten rooms, in most cases, there are
no CRATES at all, and If there re,they
are put there for ornamental pur-
poses. with gas connections IN case
there should be any use for them in
the early fall or late spring. All
the houses are heated by stove or
furnace, and in almost every house
hard coal or coke is used for heat
ing. Very little smoke or SCOT
comes off either hard coal or coke,
so that tbs average Of SCOT from
residence in Illinois, Michigan or
New York would be less than from
a house of the same size in Georgia,
provided the weather conditions
were the same However, even
using less tons of coal per house in
the winter season, there will be
more smoke and SCOT in Atlanta
due to the use Of soft coal in CRATES.
This part of the problem is hard
to handle here, on account of your
milder climate. On what,is consid-
cred cold day in Atlanta small
amount OF coal in the CRATE will
warm room. You DO not get zero
weather "a hours a day, for a week
at time, as they do In Detroit or
Chicago. and for which conditions
they must be prepared there.
on the manufacturing end of the
smoke nuisance the problem has re-
ceived so much attention that it is
no longer a problem.
We have always known that
dense black smoke was unburned
ffel. but most managers of facto-
ries thought that it would cost
more to burn it than what the get
ting rid of 1t would benefit them,
and as all factories are run for
profit. most managers or owners
were content to let the black smoke
roll out.
In fact, It is only a few years ago
that owners pointed with pride to
the smoke from their factories. It
was an indication to the town that
their plant was running; that they
were providing work for the citi-
zens; that times were good, and
showed that ne was a successful

Mental Indecision.

The number Of workers who go
ahead and do the thing when they
are told once is not large-most
people have to be carefully super
vised in order to get results.
Inefficiency comes from mental in
decision, with physical weakness
and wrong education as a causa-

imizes the cost of supervision. It
makes it easy for all to do right
and difficult to do wrong.
According to Fourier, each en-
pIoyee pays for his own supervi-
sion. This is true up to a certain
point and as a theory. But actual
ly the theory falls down in the case
where the employee does not earn
enough to supervise himself; then
the tax falls on the concern. Just
as in industrial schools, the scholar
may earn something, but the deficit
Is made good by his parents, who

:: How to Build a Fortune ::

1t is said that the captain died
rich. Let us hope he did. OF all
the hopeless ways to get rich
quickly, card games are said to be
the worst. But it is a question If
the expectations OF getting one
hundred per cent of your money in
three months is not as bad or
worse.
However, when the captain left
the boat he was the possessor not
only of a surplus fund of One Dol
lar, but of an amount of wisdom
that was sufficient to make that
dollar grow into a fortune.
AS it grew It was always ready
to help him. He had in his way
increased his orchard; or, to say 1t
another way, he had increased his
wealth and his fortune
What He Can Save.
II a man earning Fifteen Dollars

In four years he can have more

The only reason for sending a
