smoking in factories and viii now pro-
coed to formulate rules governing the

Representatives OF merchants. build.
Ing owners, manufacturers, dealers in
tobacco. FIRE underwriters and OF the
Fire Department attended the session.
The views expressed to the commission
were widely divergent. ranging from in
sistenoe upon the absolute prohibition OF
smoking TO the making Of easy rules
whereby a smoker might enjoy the weed
unhampered by the present orders.
Some of the witnesses told the COM
mission that the use Of green celluloid
eye shades and spectacles ought TO be
prohibited because they were likely to
catch fire from matches used by the
smoking army. Representatives Of small
tobacco factories advocated a relaxation
Of the rule In places which employ ten
men or less.
An important rule which was sub
mitted provides that employers may
make application to the commission for
tho right Of their men to smoke.

Theory That Disease
Germs Are In Books
Is DisproUed By Test

Baltimore. Nd, Jan. 29-The theory
much handled library and school books
is disprOved by tests made by DR.. G A
Laubach. bacteriOlOgist OF Johns Hop
kins university. He took l5O books
from homes in which diphtheria had
existed and - books from a public
library that had been in circulation
for many years among children in
whose homes sanitary conditions were
known to be bad.
The books were swabbed with ster-
lie cotton in such manner as TO gather
all germs. Tn no instance could the
diphtheria bacillus be isolated from the
books and the bacteria collected were
of the kind usually found in the air
