BREATHE ROCK DUST
Millions of Particles Taken Into
Lungs With Air.
Hygiene Experts Devising Means OF
Removing Dust and Fumes
From Air in Factories.

Niagara Falls, N. Y-Over 20OO00,-
600 tiny particles of dust, as sharp as
ground glass. are breathed into the
lungs and air passages with every
cubic foot of air in some of the fac
tories in the United States, according
to survey made by the public health
service here.
Such dusts breathed into the lungs
are never expelled. Photomicrographs
show the tiny particles to be exceed
ingly sharp and jagged and chemical
tests prove them to be practically in
soluble. Work under such condf-
tions invites respiratory diseases and
makes real health hazard. Similar
investigations in chemical factories
showed that laborers we're frequently
exposed to poisonous, fumes and gases.
The investigation was made at Nj
agara Falls because plants were en-
gagged in the manufacture Of abras-
ives. chemicals, gases, electrodes, car
bons, metals and alloys. In all OF the
factories the laborers were found to
be exposed to dangers which would
eventually incapacitate them for fur
ther work. Fortunately over GO per
cent of the labor in these plants seeks
new employment monthly and the re-
suit of exposure to such dangers is
not evident as it would be if the work
ers remained at the same work for
longer periods.
AS result of the survey industrial
hygiene engineers devised means OF
removing the dust from the air and
minimizing hazards from fumes and
poisonous gases. In spite of the fact
that the installation of such devices
was expensive, factory homogeneous
Immediately put them INTO use.

"A landing field should have, first
Of all, dimensions which fit it to ham

be drained to permit it's use even in
the wettest weather. It should have
shelter and suppliesfor flyers and their

"Fields at frequent intervals means
that cross-country flyers can come to

mishap in the air, such as stalled mo-
tor, the nearby landing field permits
the pilot to glide to it without damage
to the machine or to himself.

Why THIRTY DENOMINATIONS PLAN TO RAISE
s33S,777,572 IN This united CAMPAIGN

Twenty-seven million young people
in the United States are connected
with no Sunday school, get no regular
religious training. If they wanted the
training there are not buildings or
teachers enough to give 1t to one-half
of them.
Yet Roger w. Babson, the statisti-
clan, speaking recently on business
principles, declared that "the greatest
factor in business life today Is reli-
glon" and that "your real security is
the integrity, the righteousness of the
people of the community"
All over the world the nOn-Chris
tians outnumber the nominal Christians
by two to one. TIL" enlightened races
are Christian, the backward races are
non-Christian. The backward races,
so long as they remain backward. con-
stitute standing menace to the ideals
and institutions of the more enlight-
ened peoples. A simple illustra ion
shows this. From time immemorial
plaques have originated among the
backward peoples end spread from
them to the more civilized. Today

may be the means of saving thousands
of lives In America and Europe by
checking a disease at its source.

What are the purposes to which the
churches plan TO put the large sum OF
money represented by the united budg-
ct of the thirty denominations coop
Grating through the Interchurch World
Movement? What are the needs which
American Christianity feels Itself
called upon to meet?
The sum for which the churches are
a,,nealng is $685. 777, 572 to be collect
ed by means of an intensive campaign
during the week of April % to May z
The money will be spent on home
and foreign missions, education, Sun
day schools, ministerial salaries and
pensions, and hospitals and homes.
Here are some Of the reasons for the
appeal. There are 58,000,000 people In
the United States who are connected
with no church. If these people want
ed to attend church they would be un-
able TO do so, for not more than one
third of the population of the United
States has an opportunity to attend
church regularly Sunday by Sunday.
Pastors are paid on an average
throughout the country 1887 per year.
This Is the explanation of the dearth
of young men willing to enter the min
istry, and hence the explanation of the
fact that thousands of churches can
only hold service once month.

SERUM MADE fun
HORSE SAVES GIRL
U. S. Bureau Experiments on
Animals Develop Cure for
Olive Poisoning.

1t was serum prepared by veterinary
scientists of the bureau of animal
lusbandry for experimental purposes
in treating forage poisoning of horses
that saved the life of Lena Delbane,
after the other six members of her
family had died from eating poisonous
olives in New York recently, accord
ing to the department of agriculture.
The serum was made from the blood
of sheep that had been immunized
against bacillus poisoning.
In Investigating forage poisoning Of
horses the bureau made extensive ex-
periments with serums and discovered
there were two strains of bacillus
botulinus. They look alike and the
poisons they create produce the same
effect, but !mmunization against one
does not afford immunization against
the other. The two strains are COM
monty known by the government In
vestlgators as "the olive strain" and
the Cheese strain" Three instances
of olive poisoning, one in Michigan,
one in Ohio and the third in Montana,
were all caused by the "Olive strain"
The veterinarians, therefore were
reasonably certain that the serum
affording protection against the poison
generated by the solve strain" would
be effective in the New York cases,
and it proved to be in the one case
where 1t could be given fair trial.

HOW LUXURY TAX WORKS
In Paris Writing Table and Chair Cost
Less Than Desk Alone.

Less Than Desk Alone.
The Paris Figaro tells the following
true story of the working of the French
luxury tax:
A man went to one of the big furni-
ture dealers to buy a writing table.
Choosing one Of the least pretentious
pieces, he asked the price. 1t was 800
francs, which seemed rather high.
The shonman, however, added:
1--WE will add this little arm chair.
1t isn't dear. Only so francs"
mo. l don't want 1t. have quite
enough chairs"
excuse me-" said the seller. IF
you buy the desk alone shall have to
ask you to pay the luxury tax, which
comes to so francs. But If you take
the chair as well shall be able to
put down your purchases as a suite
office furniture. For this the tax limit
is 1.50O francs, and l do not have to
charge you on a purchase Of $50
francs. Thus If you take the chair
you save 80 francs and have an extra
piece into the bargain"
AS measure Of economy the chair
was bought.
