SMOKE CLOUD is OF
LITTLE PROTECTION
f,t,pafed by the United States Departms n,
of Agriculture)

,r..nsf.d by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
A smoke cloud is OF small advan-
,spe in retarding radiation OF heat in
an orchard on frosty nights. This con
cluslon was reached by the weather bu-
roam Of the United States Department
n, Agriculture after series of expert
meuts at Edgewood Arsenal, Md. In
,estIcalions were carried on Jointly
hy the weather bureau and the chemi-
cal warfare service OF the army, to es-
tablIsh, II possible. the feasibility of
this method of frost protection.
There seems to be conviction In
the minds of many who have had to dc
with smoke screens such us were used
during the war to hide the movement
OF troops, that orchards and tender
vegetation could be protected from
frost by this means. 1t has beer
thought that chemically produce,
smoke cloud would furnish cheaper
cleaner, and perhaps more effective
frost protection than is obtained from
burning crude oil or other fuels II
small heaters.
In the experiments field was GOV
cred with dense smoke by burning
Vhlte phosphorus on nights when con
GtOns favored frost. The tempera
lures were carefully measured undei
md in the smoke and also In n near
b field free from smoke.
Results showed that while the smoke
cloud decreased the rate of cooling
sbout one-half, II had little effect OF
he air temperature, probably because
o, nm interchange between the air un
der the smoke and that outside. The
rost Of maintaining dense smoke
cover over field by burning whit,
PHOSPHORUS, which was the most eco
pomIcaI material available, ranged
t-om SI2j to 1916 per hour for 40
acre orchard or S315 to S9.40 per acre
rar hour whereas the average annual
cost Of protecting lemon trees by the
heater method is known to be about
80 per acre with an average OF 1e
hea,lngs per year. or S5 per acre per
night. The phosphorus is difficult to
handle safely. as It ignites ut 113 de
gees +.
The experiments confirm previous
wnclusi0ns that the most efficient and
ronomlc,l method of frost protection
to heat the lower layers OF the air by
burning some form OF cheap fuel.

AIR SERVICE CHIEF
PRESENTS HIS VIEWS

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 23-
Major General Mason M. Patrick chief
of the army air service, presented his
views to the house naval committee
today on the feasibility of consolidat-
ing certain activities of the army and
navy forces.
The witness said there was no dupli-
cation in the army defending shore
stations and the coast, but that saw
ing might be effected in merging the
army and navy air experimental sta
tons and activities for training re-
cruits.
General Patrick said the present air
force of his branch is insufficient to
defend the coast. He had recommended
it's enlargement.

and Catholic churches, hospital could
be secured.
"You would not have to solicit the
service Of surgeon then, as that
would take care of itself.
PERSONALLY | like Seward, so does
my family. | own property here and
would like to return if a good hospital
were here; however if you secured any
other surgeon, | would certainly be
glad to assist in every way, and feel
that he would have no trouble in get
ting by.' The Doctor also mentioned
the fact that certain business men in
GLIDING himself, would donate ground
for a hospital, either for the removal
of the hospital here to a new site or
the building Of new one.
Mr.. Whittlesey mentioned that an
entire block was reserved in the Fed
eral addition for a hospital, but Dr.
Romig stated it was not suitable, be-
cause it was located where it did not
get sufficient sunshine, and was ex-
posed to all cold winds. Rev. Dunlap
being present, stated he had never rec
commended the present hospital build
ing, because of it's location, and that
his church had appropriated money for
the building Of hospital to the west
ward, the location of which had, as yet
been undetermined; but that they were
moving the Jessie Lee Home from I'm
alaska to Seldovia, and were taking
over the Baptist Orphanage at Kodiak,
woody Island) and would probably
combine the two at Seldovia; that the
hospital they planned was primarily
for the care Of Natives, although they
would solicit other business. Since
hearing the statements of Doctor
Romig, and the other citizens present,
he felt that such an offer as was pre-
sented would interest his hospital So
ciety, and he would take up the matter
with them
Mayor Ray stated he believed the
city would appropriate sufficient to
take care of room or bed, for city
indigents, and with the help of the
government, through military, rail-
road and public health departments,
and an appropriation from the govern
ment for other indigents, hospital
could be successfully operated.
Mr.. Blue and Mr.. OrIander also
spoke Of necessity existing here.
The Secretary will compile the nee
essary information communicate with
the Government and various societies
and have report at the next meet
ing, when all persons interested should
be present.
There being no further business the
meeting was adjourned until the next
regular meeting.

j. s. HAS 80 PER
CENT Of ALL
AUTOS IN WORLD
TOTAL PRODUCTION SINCE 1900
ABOUT TWENTY MILLION
FIFTEEN MILLION IN u. S.

NEW YORK, April 23-Announce-
ment that the automobile production
of the United States in the first two
months of the current year is rs per
cent greater than in the same months
of last year suggests that the 1924
output may approach the five million
line as against the former high rec
ord of four million in 1923.
The number Of automobiles produc-
ed in the United States, says the Trade
Record of the National City Bank of
New York, which was only $4,000 in
1900 jumped to $4,000 in 1905, $4,000
1910, nearly one million in 1915 and
over two million in 1920, four million
in 1923 and may approximate five mil
lion in 1924. The total number Of ma
chimes turned out from 1900 to the
end of 1923 is, in round terms, TWEEN
ty million, of which about fifteen mill
lion are now in use in United States.
One million have been exported, and
the other four million have presum-
ably "gone where the good autos CO."
to be melted down and turned again
into new machines. These figures of
production are those of the United
States census and the automobile
Chamber of Commerce, those of ex-
ports are from the official records Of
the government and those of autos in
use are the latest estimates of the de-
partment of agriculture.
