SMOKE ABATEMENT
FAVORED FOR CITY
Osborn Monet, of Chicago, Speaks
Before Woman's Civic Club
Yesterday.

The primary steps which Wheeling
must take in the abatement Of the
smoke nuisance were pointed out yes
terday by Osborn Mouett. of Chicago,
formerly chief smoke inspector for
that city. III an address yesterday af-
ternoon ut the Hotel Windsor. Mr..
Monet is especially qualified 10 speak
on the subject, and recently spoke at
Pittsburgh before the Smoke and Dust
Abatement League and also before the
Civic Club of Allegheny. He said,
first, that public sentiment must be
created in favor of such activities;
that the smoke ordinances Of other
cities must be studied, and the seem
ingly ideal one for Wheeling selected
and applied. That an engineer from
the cily's Offices must be secured, who
could insure the perfect installation OF
moderniZed methods Of smoke COM
buStion, and that the support OF civic
committees of the city should be OBJ
tanned, and also the assistance Of eX-
pert railroad engineers, who might
control by the most modern methods
the smoke nuisance of railways, are
necessary, he said
BY means of slide projections, Mr.:
Monet explained the four grades or
smoke, of which that Of 60 per cent.
density is prohibited by smoke ordi-
nances. As long as smoke can be seen
through said the speaker, it cannot be
found Objectionable. Much depends
on the way fuel is fed into the furnace,
and Mr. Monet, by diagrams, en-
planned how firemen, by. proper fur
mace feeding. may minimize the NUS
ance. In the first place, the tire
fame from the kindlings igniting the
coal gases and in this manner lessen.
ing the density 1t is all matter OF
education for engineers and steam
users, and the four classiflcauons or
plans were explained At length by the
speaker. Mechanical stokers, when
applied, are absolutely SmokeleSs. and
a small sum expended on improve
ments saves In the course OF a year
many thousands Of dollars. The den
sity of the smoke released shows the
incomplete combustion of coal. and
loses for the consumer large sums ia
the course of a few months. !
! Plants discharging quantities or
smoke at low attitudes are particular
| " Objectionable. Railroad engines
come within this scope, but with an
eouipment Of side combustion tubes,
valves and induction tubes for the
proper amount of air. at the cost OF as
little as SIS, this nuisance is complete
Nv done away with. The speaker
noted that Wheeling's largest and
most. modern buildings are erected
along the same old-fashioned lines
with no effort made for the lnstaila-
ton of modern devices dealing with
the smoke abatement. Chicago. Gin
cinnati and Pittsburgh head the list IN
smoke combating. and large sums
have been expended, which has les
sened the nuisance most appreciahlv.
MIR, Monet delivered his lecture Pc
fore the Civic Department OF the Wo'
mans Club. Mrs. Julian U Healhe;
former president Of the ciup. prehaitu;eo
IN he absence of it's Chairman. Miss

A Clever Burro.

A friend tells US the following about
Rowdy, a bUrro he bought as a foal
in Colorado and brought home to Mas
sachusetts for his children: "Rowdy is
now an aged pensioner, but he has
been as clever a little pet and servant
as one could wish. His friendship for
the family cow has been one Of the
distinguishing features Of his career.
They used to stand side by side In
the stable, and in the pasture would
actually play tag. The COW began
years ago with her rough tongue to
lick Rowdy's face. When he attempted
TO reciprOeate the courtesy, his smooth
tongue made no impression. This then
is what we have seen him do a hun
dred times: He would find q small
stick, take it in his teeth, and scratch
the cow all about the eyes, and ears
and horns" Can anyone call this in
Stinct? Was such an idea tucked away
in Rowdy's brain when he was born,
a part of his inheritance from genera
tons of ancestral burros? That
would seem out of the question. We
are inclined to think that Rowdy
thought out the stick idea for himself

Magnetic Pole Moves PenduIumwise.

Magnetic Pole Moves PenduIumwise
The magnetic pole does not, as has
generally been believed, move in cir
Gle around the geographic pole, but
oscillates exclusively on the Pacific
ocean side. This has just been proved
by Emile Belot, who has presented to
the French Academic des Sciences a
curve representing the motion of the
magnetic pole since the year 1541.
The motion Of the magnetic pole is
almost a spiral, but its speed varies.
From 1880 to 1765 1t averaged II kilo-
meters a year. For the last 100 years
it has averaged only 8 kilometers q
year. NJ. Belot Hkens it to the osciIla-
ton Of a pendulum, which slows up
as it approaches the ends OF its swing.
The period OF its swing is about 800
years.

wife, Say Experts.
Do Won know

Do you know
That every bit of uneaten cereal can
be used to thicken soups, stews or
gravies?
That stale bread can be used as the
basis for many attractive meat dishes,
hot breads and desserts?
That every ounce of skim milk or
whole milk contains valuable nOurish-
ment?
Government food experts are asking
these questions of all housewives.
Use every drop of milk to drink or
to add nourishment to cereals, soups,
sauces and other foods, they urge. If
you do not want milk to sour, keep it
cool, clean and covered continually.
Remember, too. that sour milk, butter
milk and sour cream are valuable in
cookery, SO do not waste any. Sour
milk and buttermilk can be used with
soda in making hot breads. or sour
milk can be turned easily into cottage
cheese, cream cheese, or clabber. Sour
cream is a good shortening in making
cakes and cookies and useful for salad
