vt Is impossible to go about, especially
| about the streets Of a busy city, without
i breathing quantities of dust
But dust is word that really covers
wide range 1t really means minute PARTICLES
of anything whatever that can be stirred up
sufficiently to float about in the air for ever
so small period. Consequently the dust you
may breathe into your lungs while walking
along a residential street in city may be
entirely different from the dust you breathe
while walking through big market district
or manufacturing district
.Dust has been analysed and in a small
ouaptitv of 1t most surprising variety OF
things found On a fairly clean residential
street the dust will generally be found to
consist OF iron from horseshoes al nails in
mems shoes and from the tires of wagons,
narticles of leather, WOOL cotton, feathers.

bits of wood sand, paper, clay and such
things from the dirt that accumulates and is
ground UP fine in the street There is also
a email quantity of bacteria.
In busy street where there are many
factories and much trucking, the quantity Of
metal particles In dust increases also the
quantity of horn OF hoof which is the same,
from horses feet and fine rubber from auto
truck tires, while the metals may include bits
of copper, brass. tin lead, steel and even gold
and silver from the manufacturing plants,
as bits of the metal flies out of the factories
in the dust
On hot, dry day in the slums. where
there is always a lot Of garbage that lies
about and dries, there are quantities of veg
etable matter and of course, more bacteria
But on country road hundred miles from
a big city and ten miles or SO from town,
the dust is mostly bits of fine sand, PARTICLES
of wood and leaves and flowers and seeds.
Very little metal is found in this dust, prac-
tically no paper or bits OF rubber and the
per cent Of bacteria is extremely low.
The dust is never alike in two streetD. nor
does 1t average alike In two cities. Pitts

NEW YORK, July 1s.-The chance
of staving off the long threatened
strike of the 100000 trainmen and
conductors on the Eastern railroads
hung by a very slender thread today.
William Lea Chambers. the newly APP
pointed commissioner of mediation
and Cancellation. appointed under the
Newlands amendment to the Erdman
act, Is expected in this city tomorrow
with Judge Martin A. Knapp and w.
w. Hangar, assistant, to try to bring
about a settlement by mediation. If
the mediators cannot reconcile the
representatives OF the trainmen and
conductors and the managers commit
tee as to the inclusion in the speci-
fication OF propositions to be arbi-
trated under the Newlands amend
ment, the heads OF the trainmen and
conductors said today. a strike will be
inevitable.
Meantime all the trainmen and con-
ductors in Eastern territory were in
receipt of bulletin from the presi-
dents Of their respective organizations
notifying them that unless the roads
withdraw their proposition the fixing
of the hour for the strike will fol-

The strikers had hopes today that

THAT WAY.
REFORM DEMANDED
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, NOT con-

TIoN COULD he INTRO
DUCED AT THIS TINE.
REFORM DEMANDED

Auditor c. Lee Moore's tax segre-
cation plan, recently published, Is still
topic of general discussion among
those interested In the reform of the
State tax laws. Mr.. Moore announced
his plan as basis for discussion and
it has proved to be just that. the dis
cussion taking a wide range. Like
the question of currency reform, the
tax question is one upon which most
people have fixed opinions and the
suggestions of changes in Mr.. Moore s
plan have been numerous.
Lieutenant Governor Ellyson is not
one of those who have plan all
mapped out and Is unwilling to listen
to any suggestions from others.
We Need Information.
What we need is information" said
Mr.. Ellyson last night. AS q means
for securing this information he sug-
gested. when asked about the Moore
plan, that there be called together a
conference consisting of the represen-
tatives of the cities and counties of
the State, the mayors OF the cities
and members OF council. members Of
the boards of supervisors, commits
sioners of revenue, treasurers and any
others who may have anything to do
with the assessment and collecting Of
the revenues of the counties, cities
and State.
During recent years" said Mr..
Ellyson, "the financial system of the
Commonwealth has not kept pace with
the growing wealth of the people.
Laws which were reasonably just in
their operation decade ago now work
hardship and a tax code which met the
needs of the government without loss
to the localities has now become
onerous. The Democratic party is at
work upon this problem and should
speedily present to the people a new
tax law which will operate justly upon
all classes of property and upon all
citizens.
Should Ne Longer Delay.
II was member of the commits
sion which presented a report to the
last general assembly, In which report
were stated the cardinal facts regard
ing the present laws with suggestions
for their Improvement. Since that
time there has been a considerable In
crease in the revenue of the State. and
1t may now be possible to adopt some
system OF segregation" though this
could not be equitably done two years
ago.
II am not convinced that such a
system can be introduced at this time
with due regard for the interest of
every part of the State but l believe
a solution OF this aggravating problem.
Failure to revise our tax laws. ade-
Quately and justly, will mean con-
tinued and unbearable handicap to
business.
