"cooTIEs" LEFT BEHIND
Soldiers Declare 1t Is Good to Get
Back to America.

It literally 'sfeels goud" to be in the
United States again. according to over
seas men who are being sent to Camp
Funston and Fort Riley for discharge
or their final hospital "hitch." The
<good feeling" comes from the ab-
sence of cooties. Most of the return
ing Yanks bring along several families
of cooties when they return from
France, but while the men land at New
York and other Atlantic ports and pro-
ceed inland for rehabilitation, the
cootie does not come along with them.
He is demobilized and discharged at
the point of debarkation, or camp
near by. The soldiers are strong for
this humane measure. Their clothing
is taken from them, steamed and re-
turned cootieless in IS minutes. Dur
ing the period of waiting they receive
q haircut and take a bath. After this
'@'delousing" process, as it is technical
" known in the army, many Of the
men spend the first quiet night in a
year, undisturbed by the insect pests

PLAN TO SUCK FOG
OUT OF OLD LONDON
Engineers Propose to Wash Air
of Greatest City in the
World.

No more fogs for London? That is
the great possibility of +hn near fu-
ture. The projected melilvu Of abate-
ment is novel one, and is planned to
consist of a system of conduits and
sucking pipes through the metropolis
of the world. This is first announce
ment of the proposal which is engaging
the attention of the British national
physical laboratory at Teddington, a
London suburb.
Fog is smoke-saturated mist. When
the mist is dense little of the smoke es-
.capes. The proposed antifog system
would suck in the imprisoned smoke,
draw it through the conduits to battles,
or air washers, which would extract
the dirt and dissipate the fumes.
In reality this is a system of smoke
controlling, under low atmospheric con-
ditions, such as is individually prac-
ticed in large buildings and factories
in America. AS London has hundreds
of thousands of buildings, each with
from FIVE to fifty fireplaces-a chin
ney for each fireplace-it will be seen
how difficult it would be to "muzzle"
every chimney.
London is reluctant to abolish its
traditional fireplace in favor Of the
more economical and efficient hot wa
ter or furnace heating systems, so that
the millions of chimneys will continue
to spew their dirty breath into the air
for years to come. The sucking and
air-washing system is the simplest,
most trustworthy fog eliminator under
these conditions, it is believed.
London without it's fantastic fogs
will be a disappointment to many. The
great water colorist Turner was pas.
.sionately fond Of them. So Is Yoshio
Markino, the celebrated japanese
artist, who lives by the years in Lon.
don with his canvas and paints ready
for fogs.
However, most people will rejoice.
Including English, Scotch, Belgians,
Dutch, Danes and Scandinavians. Ib.
sen in Brand mentions the curse of
London fogs descending on Norway.
