THE PROMISE OF BREAD

Out on the frozen uplands, underneath the snow
 and sleet, In the bosom of poyland sleeps the Promise "i
 the Wheat; With the ice for head and footstone and snowy
 shroud outsprcad In the frost locked of winter sleeps the Mir
 acle of Bread, With it's hundred thousand reapers and it's hundred
 thousand men, And the click of guard sickle and the flas that
 again. And drover's shout and snap of whips, and creak of
 horses tugs And d thin red line O gingham girls that carry jugs; And yellow stalks and dagger beards that stao
 thro cotton clothes And farmer boys a-shocking wheat in long and
 crooked rows And dust yelled men mountain stacks, Whose pitchiorks flash and sleam: And threshing engines shrcking in syilal'es
 of steam, And elevators painted red that lift their gian, And beckon the Harvest God above the brooding
 farms, And loaded trains that hasten forth. a hungry
 world to fl-- All sleeping just beneath the snow out wonder on
 the hill.

CITIES ARE PRODUCERS OF DUST

Modern cities dust producers. Streets and pavements and sidewalks hy the friction of the traffic, wheels ground to metallic dust fabrics to lint: fuel burns with products of smoke and ashes Dust is being continually pro duced both within and without houses
 Recent studies several cities have shown that the numbers of dust particles in the air above side walks range hundred thousand to a mil lion per cubic foot At higher levels the numbers are less At the Woolvlorth building in New York the highest building in the world (1l6 feet the 22l ee0 dust particles per cubic foot the tenth story S5 000: the tllirteth story. 1oo00: and at the fifty seventh story, 27,o00. As figure for comparison. the air over Long Island Sound at point several miles from shore found tain 5000 dust particles per cubic foot.
 Dusty air contains bacteria but the numbers fewer than those of the dust particles. At the John Hancock building in Boston June j. 1913, the air the sidewalk contained 1850 bacteria and twenty molds per cubic foot while at the tenth story the corresponding numbers 330 bacteria and three molds cubic foot The elimination of city dust is constant and changing prohlel for the sanitary engineer Tn. elimination of the horse from city streets is helping reduce the organic dust. but the motor IS itself dust creator when used road surfaces adapted
