other measures.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept 24-
T. Kennard Thompson, vice presi-
dent of the American Society OF
Mechanical Engineers, of New York,
before the fifteenth international
Congress OF Hygiene and Demo
graphy today advanced the conclu-
sion that many cases Of what is
called caisson disease were due not
so much to work in compressed air
as they were to work in foul att
mospheres. Mr.. Thompson said,
that foul atmosphere. even at very
low pressure, was often more dan
gerous to men than muck higher
pressure where the air was not con-
.taminate. To support his contention
he cited number Of cases in the
work for. the Lenox avenue bridge
in the Harlem river tunnel. New
York City. Considerable t oubIe
was caused by men complaining Of
the bends when passing through
the foul mud in the bottom Of 3
river.
Mr.. Thompson directed attention
to what he termed The criminal
folly OF depositing sewerage in the
Harlem river" He declared that
iseyeral tests have proved that the
tides did not carry away all the sew
erage emptied into the Harlem, the
Hudson and the East rivers, be-
cause any excavation will disclose a
black putrid mud of very offensive
smell on the bottoms OF the rivers.
He called attention to what he
termed ''the great risk New York is
running OF an epidemic through
having the mud in rivers and bays
in such condition. It would even
be dangerous to pump the water to
put out fires" he said, cas- so much
fouId mud would thus be scattered
over the city to dry and spread as
dust"
