unsatisfactory heating plants and
much excessive fuel consumption are
due to improperly constructed CHM
neys. which are the rule rather than
the exception. Although many Of
these are more inefficient than dan

a larger number Of fires are caused by
defective chimney construction than
by anything else. The annual loss re-

Government experts report that 'the

r TNCIE SAM is trying to stop

Ever since the first half dozen CHM

plants against smoking chimneys,
chimneys that filed houses with smoke
from the fireplace instead OF carrying
it Off slxyward.
For generations engineers have tried
to solve the problem OF the smoking
chimney. but have never met with a
full measure Of success. One promi-
nent Southern engineer, who helped to
develop the cotton milling industry In
the South, devoted money and time to
studying the question: why do some
chimneys built at the same time, out
Of the same sort of material. and by
the same people smoke and others do
not?" He had small boys 60 through
hundreds Of chimneys and take meas
urements all along the way Of the
ones that did or did not smoke, and
then he drew a plan for what he
thought was an ideal chimney. but 1t
failed to produce the desired results
This engineer admitted his defeat in a
pamphlet giving the history OF his ef-
forts. Now the Department OF Agri-
culture will try its hand on the ancient
family worry.
Experts on the subject OF chimney
construction tell of certain masons
who built chimneys that would draw

Deafening Din of City
Driving Many to Country

So the existent trend countryward
from the greater city has begun. The
signs Of It are on every hand. The
noises In the city which drive many
almost to distraction are quickening
instance came to my notice this week.
A citizen called at the police station in
the Washington Square district. Com
plant was registered of insufferable
but preventable noises. The sergeant
at the desk took down the record and
said:
IT will ask the patrolman to keep an
eye on that locality and try to lessen
the noises. But warn you that it.,fs
impossible to stop the noises entirely.
1t is condition inseparable from liv-
ing here in the city"
Another actual instance came to my
notice this week. A citizen put house,

And It is recognition Of these New
York city truths, this pressure on fan-
iiy life, these nervous. efficiency re-
ducing conditions. and these promis-
ingly better living conditions in tho
opener spaces. that the movement has
already begun outward from congested
New York city.
The New York Association of Real
Estate Operators estimates that in the
last year upward of a quarter of "a
million persons have moved from New
York to tho suburbs and the country.
1t Is true that perhaps others have
come to take their places. But they
In time will yield to the pressure and
many OF them will join the outward
trek
New York city is too big. Too many
persons are trying TO live on the same
area. Human knowledge, science and
inventive genius cannot devise means
adequate to the situation. 1t Is sim
ply impossible to keep hero so many
persons and so many businesses and
relieve the disheartening pressure on
family life now endured by every one
here. 1t compels every one to bid
against his neighbor for room, goods
and services. The result--by the Me-
dian and Persian law OF business and
commerce-costs mount an airplans

AS for the feminine costumes, on
which do not profess to be an au-
thority. they are generally very neat
and clean, especially in the case of
young women. but always cheap and
simple. They seem to consist mostly
of white cotton, with a hat of the
same material. white stockings and
boots. The boots are quite often neat
and fashionable. On the whole 1t is
surprising how. well the Muscovites
have In the matter OF dress come out
OF the difficult period of seclusion and
want which may now be regarded as
over. The Bolshevik leaders are-well
clad In ordinary life and they expect
foreigners who visit them to be well
clad also. but have a suspicion that
each of them keeps handy a suit Of
damaged "proletarian" clothes for state
occasions.
I have been a good deal in Bolshe-
vik Government offices during tho
week. There Is a congestion of worry
in them, not a congestion of work.
Young women clerks are now en-
ployed very largely, and they are less
inefficient than the male clerks whom
they have replaced: still they go at
the slow tempo whereat everything
and everybody In Russia moves, and
which even Lenine failed to speed up.
