NEAT SMOKING METHOD
IN CHICAGO is CHARGED
Gas Plays Stream of Fire Into Pile
of Sawdust to Get Better
Effect Than of Old.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. May 30.-A long hori-
Zontal gas burner playing a stream
of fire into a pile of hardwood sew
dust creates the smoke for curing
hams and bacon in Chicago'S packing
plants. At one time wood fires were
smudged to produce great quantities
of smoke, which came in direct con-
tact with the meat, but this system
has been discarded
Under the present method the hard
wood sawdust becomes pulveriZed and
smolders and produces what is said to
be a superior smoke for meat-pack-
ing purposes. Another of the refine
ments is that the temperature of the
meat is brought up to the proper point
before the smoking process begins
This is accomplished by allowing the
gas to burn a short time before the
SawduSt is added

SEES SCIENCE ABLE
TO COPE WITH GALE
Engineer Says Schools and
Homes May Be Built to
Withstand Tornadoes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHAMPION, ILL.,, May 30.-If
engineering science were applied to
the design and construction of dwell
lngs and school houses they could
easily and ineXpensively be made
proof against the devastation of tor
nadoes such as recently visited the
five middle Western States, Atcord
ing to G. c. Williams. head of the
department of civil engineering of
the University of Illinois.
Includes Stucco Houses.
Even frame and stucco homes can
De built sufficiently strong to with
stand the force Of tornado. Mr..
Williams said. The stresses in u
frame dwelling due to wind are cal
culable at all critical points and the
strength of the timber and the hold
ing power of nails are we'll known,
SO the entire structure admits of
scientific design comparable with a
rlVeted steel building.
That dwellings, schoolhouses and
churches readily collapse under such
a storm is due to the fact that the
design and details of framing, an
chorage and ties have been left en-
urely to the tradesman. who has
little knowledge of the character of
stresses set up inside the structure
that he is building" Mr.. Williams
declared. He merely erects one part
on top of another, with toe-nails at
best. like pile of child's blocks. and
when the wind comes the pile offers
very little resistance to the destruc
tive force.
Stability Rules Neglected.
"Even architects have been en-
crossed in the appearance and con-
venience of dwellings, 10 the
exclusion of careful thought to the
stability. They have unfortunately
accepted the tradesmans framing
and details.
"A study of the design of frame
dwelling shows that a we'll Sheathed
house of average size can be made
proof against tornado at an eXpend
1ture of less than / per cent of the
total cost of the house.
Man is continually combating the
destructive elements of nature. Medi-
cal science has large removed the
scourges of disease. Tornadoes are
no more a visitation of Providence
to which man must supinely submit
than were the plaques of the Middle
Ages. Engineering science, if ap-
piled to the design and construction
of such buildings as dwellings and
schoolhouses, is amply able TO protect
human life from wholesale destruc-
ton by wind. and the failure to take
advantage of this fact in the con-
servation of human life is a relic of
moral inertia fitting the age of small.
