DUSTLESS CITY
Of NEW YORK IS.
NOW WPR0P'0SED
Business Men Hope for I'm
macuIate Streets by New
Vacuum Sweepers.

In New York. the Downtown
League. an association Of business
men who were influential in hav'
ing the city adopt the tractor sys-
tenn of snow removal, has now
turned It's attention to the dust
nuisance. 1t hopes to make New
York the Dustless City.
1--WE have a membership made up
of more than 1900 business houses.
says David Robinson. president OF
the league, land the complaints re-
ceived of damage to merchandise.
to food, and household effects. com
PEELED our inquiry into street clean
ing methods"
Street Commissioner Alfred 4.
Taylor co-operated with the league
and their Joint investigation lead
to the introduction OF the vacuum
sweeper. The vacuum method is
already in use in st. Louis where
Street Commissioner Fisk and
Police Commissioner Gerk report
that 1t has stood all tests and has
cut the cost of cleaning to about
half that of the old method.
The filth OF streets kills more
Americans yearly than the COM
bined efforts of the police and fire
men could save in ten years" said
DR.. Thomas Darlington. former
health commissioner of New York.
Dust is the greatest carrier OF
disease with which we have to
contend" says Health Commits
sioner Copeland. Filth has killed
more human beings than all wars
and accidents combined"
The dust of the street contains
from $4,000 to 5,600,000 bacteria
per gram. city tests show. This
dust which penetrates even closed
windows cannot be removed by
sweeping. Sprinkling and flushing
merely glue it to the surface for
short time. Rain has a like
effect, and 1t is in this slime-like
substance that the deadly germs
thrive. Twenty minutes Of sun
shine liberates them and swift-mov
ing automobiles and wind distribute
them to all corners.
The forward move in civic house
keeping on the part Of New York
and st. Louis is right in the foot
steps OF millions Of American
housekeepers who have found that
their electric vacuum cleaners
make dustless homes and protect
their families from the dangerous
filth of the streets.

Trotsky's Fighting Machine to

from Moscow. And the man who Is
responsible for the change, accord

Leon Trotsky.
Formerly, NJ. Eric writes. the so.
Wet government had at it's disposal
only a few thousand well trained
men, which 1t trotted out on parade
for propaganda purposes. Since
Trotsky became minister Of war and
marine, in 1918, however, the Red
army has been entirely reorginazed.
The classes of 1899, 1900 and 1901

ber 1870, 900, to which must be added
a militia of 100000. At the end of
April the Red army possessed a mil

1000 pieces of light artillery. 500 to
900 pieces of heavy artillery. about
10 900 machine guns and from 500 to
600 cartridges per gun. A supply OF
airplanes is being furnished by Ber'

A feature Of the new army is the
elegance of the officers. uniforms,
according to NJ. Eric. Instead OF
gold braid. red braid is worn. and
this assumes curious designs, accord.

FAUoUIER CITIZENS BUILD
ROAD TO STAFFORD LINE

wARRENTON, Va, July "a
road that has not cost the county a
cent in taxes is being built from the
Stafford county line toward Bealeton.
This road was undertaken by the
people of the neighborhood and the
money was all provided by popular
subscription.
In place OF the old impassablc,
rough, mud hole infested road that
has existed since the memory OF man,
these people, by their civic pride and
activities, have most excellent
sand clay road, well drained by con.
crete culverts. Of proper width and
well graded, stretching from the Staf-
ford line to Morrisville. 1t Is the
hope and expectation of these people
to carry on the good work to Beale'
ton and 30 make a junction with the
State highway from Culpeper to
warrenton. When this is accom-
plished. a good road will stretch from
warrenton to the Richmond-Wash.

AIR CURRENTS :
GREAT FACTOR
IN WORKSHOPS
Liability Premiums Reduced
= and Health Better Where
Rule Is Observed.

A large manufacturer said that be-
cause of the unhealthful and harmful
manufacturing processes in his plant.
he was forced to cover each Of his
workmen with $4,000 compensation
insurance. As rapidly as broken
health incapacitated q worker, IN
other had to be hired to replace him.
This was expensive. to say moth
ing of disastrous and inhuman In IT'D
effect on the men. The manufac-
turer found that the low productive
capacity per man, combino I'd with the
fixed excessive charge of breaking
In new help, was initiating the cost
Of production TO a point where II
would soon become prohibitive.
One day a solution presented itself.
A means of introducing fresh air in
quantity sufficient to insure health
to the worker and in a measure
harmless to the process Of manufac.
ture. was found and installed.
Premiums Reduced.
By maintaining a constant flow Of
pure. fresh air from the outside
into the manufacturing rooms n
steady and healthy class OF workers
today supplants the old tragical flow
of transients departing with broken
health. Employees liability insur.
ance premiums have been reduced
and manufacturing costs materially
lessened. T.
Wherever human beings congre-
gate-whether in homes. offices,
theaters. stores. factories etc.
sufficient air supply to the indl-
vidual as we'll as the group. be
comes a serious consideration Of
concern to everyone involved. Busi-
ness and industry have at last
awakened to this consideration and
the necessity for coping with 1t as
a factor in the joint problem OF
production and efficiency. Human
mentalities function as human
bodies thrive and the first funda-
mental of physical well-being is
natural, fresh, clean air for lungs
vital element In the ife-flow OF
humanity.
Daylight factories and indirectly
| lighted offices have, since the day
of their adoption, proven the truth
of the principle that better light
produces quickened sensibiities in
the worker. Logically. he works
, better. more accurately, willingly
and contentedly.
The theater. too, is facing a new
and individual problem with respect
to attendance. 1t requires something
else beside a good performance 10
draw public patronage and that
something else Is physical comfort
which is experienced in any well
ventilated room or enclosure. Moth
ing Is so discomforting as cbse,
fetid atmosphere in crowded room
or hall. This is invariably true ot
any place where people gather IN
close proximity. Headaches. faint
ness. Precipitation and the feeling OF
heaviness denote the lack Of fresh
clean air and a sufficient amount OF
IL.
These things have the perilous ef
feet of lowering human vitality
Hence it becomes the duty Of every
human being to avoid any poOrS
ventilated quarter or enclosure in ths
interest of self and OF the community
in which he lives. Lowered vttaliti9s
are susceptible to disease germs
which thrive in impure, stagnant
air.

SHIP INSURANCE
Asked IN EGYPT
/ To HELP TRADE.
American Marine Showed, Into
Second Place, Consul
( Points Out.
By International News Service.

ALEXANDRIA. Egypt, July g.
The establishment of marine insur-
ance companies in Egypt IL the next
great need OF American interests
here. according to Lester Maynard,
United States consul to this country.
Through Maynard's efforts, Ameri.
can cargo steamships began an
Egyptian trade last year, and now
American boats arrive in Alexandria
regularly at least once a month,
carrying goods insured in American
insurance companies.
America sent to Egypt in the first
four months of 1921 more goods
than any other country. But now.
the United States has fallen back to
second place and Is likely to remain
there for q long time to come unless
American interests study the eco
nomic outlook more closely, asserts
the American consul,
The business that is transacted be-
tween America and Egypt and the
volume Of money that passes back
and forth between the two per year
warrant the organization of an Amer
lean bank in Alexandria, Egypts
commercial capital, says Maynard.
The tolls which American and Egyp-
tian concerns pay to London bankers
are enormous, he stated.
Maynard. recognizing these facts.
approached. while on leave, some
banking interests in the United
States with q view to the establish
ment OF an American bank at Alex
andria. He succeeded in gaining
their support to the extent of their
promising to send an official to in
vostigate the scheme and submit a
report But undoubtedly an Ameri-
can bank 10 badly needed, and Egyp-
ttans. a. well as Near Fasteners in
general, welcome wholehear the
extension OF American enterprises.
Goods can now be exported and
imported on American ships and in
sured in American companies. But
what stil remains to be done is to
remit money through an American
bank and to be able to travel from
Egypt to Europe, Syria and Turkey
In American ships.
Passengers are now conveyed by
italian, British and French bCats.
Exorbitant passage rates are ex.
torted. An American steamship
company that could send its boats to
Beyrout, Smyrna, Constantinople
and Italy, especially during the sum-
mer season, could reap good returns.
IL reasonable passage rates were
charged. The old North German
Lloyd Steamship Company is now
arranging to run its boats In COM
petition with the existing companies.
Ships belonging to the United States
Shipping Board could be very profit
ably utilized here.
Every Moslem, as a duty. visits
Mecca and Medina once in a lifetime.
It Is tho greatest ambition and desire

to be able to perform the pilgrimage

about 5000 pilgrims this year. Syria,
including Palestine, Is sending large

TO CHILDREN OF WORLD

ANDOVER, Mass, July 6.-The al
lied debt to the United States should
be made a permanent trust fund to
be administered for the education Of

said, on the fundamental thought
that "the world as a whole owes

no fair chance in II, because Of what
those upon whom they are depend.
ent have sacrificed for the good OF
