EFFECTS OF SMOKE POL

By Frederic ]. Haskin.

In size and tempo the modern city has
gone forward faster than its builders
could fit themselves to its requirements.
1t has swallowed its hundreds of thou
sands, distributed them throughout dark
cells and cave dwellings within its pre-
cincts. provided them with routes under
ground to its grimy factories, its giant
business buildings and developed net
works of streets into which the sun can

dome of smoke, the sign of its industry
1t has grown layer over layer, up and
down, making the space formerly neces-
sary to the health and happiness of one
serve as a sufficient arena for the life
history of thousands, and it's restrc-
tions of room. sunshine and air go on,
ratios of these primal needs steadily re-
arranging themselves for the individual
city dweller, his home subdividing and
resuhdividing. his share of sunlight
diminishing as his city grows upward.
and his proportion of fresh air dwindling
before the eternal thrush of others to
share 1t with him.
This modern rapid reconstruction of
mans environment has not allowed
nature time to remodel her system to
the new demands, to recast man into
an animal with the characteristics of the
mole, make him independent of the sun

his physiology SO as to enable him to
