DRIVE TO ENFORCE
SMOKE LAW BEGUN
Health Department Adds
Three Men to Inspector
Force-Offers Tips.

An intensive effort to prevent vio-
lations CT the smoke law has been
started by the health department.
Health Omcer William c. Fowler an
nounced today.
The health department has only one
regular smoke inspector to watch
the stacks on all large buildings and
commercial plants, but the health
ofncer has temporarily assigned three
additional men TO this work.
Believing that the emission Of thick
columns of black smoke can be
avoided by proper firing Of furnaces,
the health officer today compiled a
list OF suggestions, taken from a
pamphlet prepared by the United
States Bureau of Mines.
List Of suxxestions.
First. adequate boiler capacity Is
absolutely essential, thus preventing
the necessity of forcing the fires.
Second. at least a medium quality
of coal should be used.
Third, proper firing, which is ac-
comp ished by keeping the fires level
and rather thin.
The best results are obtained in
the burning of bituminous coal If the
fires are kept level and somewhat
thin (probabIy to 10 inches, de-
pending on the character Of the coal
and strength of the drafD, the form er
being done by spreading fresh coal
over the very thin places where the
coal has a tendency to burn away.
THE coal should also be fired in
small quantities and at brief inter
walls. The ash pit should be kept
clear from ashes and the ash-pit door
should be kept at least partly open,
not for the purpose of regulating Z
the draft, which should be done with
the damper, but for the purpose of
admitting a sufficient supply Of air
to insure proper combustion"

Hold Protocol Not Scrapped.

Chilled as they are by the reports
from London that the British
dominions dislike several features OF
the protocol, leaders of the league
tenaciously refused to believe that
the Geneva protocol already has been
scrapped. The reported objection OF
the dominions to the council Of the
leagues prerogative n examining
international disputes arising over
immigration. even when such disputes
have been thrown out OF court by The
Hague Tribunal as being exclusively
domestic questions, already had been
anticipated here.
The same is true with reference to
the alleged insistence that the
dominions will not consent to a
blanket engagement lending their
navies and armies to the punishmen n,
of a state which is declared to be
an agressor, but will want to main
tain the privilege of deciding their
attitude as each particular crisis
arises
With American opinion openly dis
pleased at the immigration provisio or
of the protocol and influencing British
opinion, it is recognized in Geneva
that these matters must be revised
Nevertheless. it is hoped some machin-
cry for sanctions can be constructed
and that any possible Franco British
military pact will not sound the death
of such a system.
League officials say that Germany
attitude on league membership like
ly will be discussed at the March ses-
sion of the council. Attention was
drawn to the fact that it is desirable
to settle the question of German
! mem bership before hoping to outline
a definite pact on arbitration and Sc
curity.

MAY Be SHELVED
Belief Held That Agreement
on Arbitration and Security
Would Be Sufficient.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
GENEVA, February 1.-THE sepa-
ration of disarmament from compul-
sorry arbitration and security is the
latest idea advanced in League of
Nations circles here as the one pos-
sible development in the case of the
famous Geneva peace protocol, which
is being discussed between the Eng
lish mother country and her domin-
ions and commonwealths
This idea, If carried out, would
give an entirely new angle to the
international struggle which is being
waged to outlaw war. 1t relegates
disarmament conferences to a future
not fixed as to time and conditions,
and tends to concentrate the minds
of the statesmen on the necessity
of discovering a solution, without re-
gard to any reduction in the arma-
ment burdens Of the two problems of
arbitration and security.
1t is believed to be of special In
tcrest to Americans because of the
! approval by Congress of some later
convocation at Washington of a con-
ference for the further limitation of
land armaments.
Based on Conference.
In the Geneva protocol the putting
into force of compulsory arbitration
and security, including the opera
tion of an intricate system of sane
tions, economic and military, is made
entirely dependent not only upon the
holding of a general disarmament
conference but also upon the carry
Ing out by various countries Of such
armament reductions as an arma-
ment conference would impose.
IN, inf 1of oh tho
the League of Nations, many gov
ernments are giving more emphasis
to arbitratio and security as goals
desirable for achievement in them
selves, without any reference to an
immediate cutting down of arma
ments 1t is argued that once the
nations accept the policy of COM
pulsory arbitration and elaborate
some system of security and mutual
assistance, the compelling urgency
of extensive navies and armies will
cease TO be a factor and the coun-
tries gradually will tear them down.
This means that if Europe, next
September at Geneva, can evolve a
plan of arbitration and security, ac-
ceptable alike to Great Britain and
! France and the smaller states. parti-
cularly the British dominions, the

ment under the terms of the Geneva
protocol.

What the World Is Doing
As Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazine
Glow of Eyes in Darkness
Due to Reflected Light

Eyes of animals and of human be-
ings sometimes glow when coming
out of the darkness, not because OF
phosphorescent matter in the eyeballs
as has been supposed, but because of
the light which they reflect, according
to scientists. The eyes are like mir
rors, and since the rest of the body
is in darkness, the effect is more no
ticeable. Experiments were made
with a number of animals shut up in
rooms where there was absolutely no
light. No glow was visible but when
a few rays were permitted to enter
the luminous shine in the creatures
eyes was at once apparent. It has
been asserted that the eyes of negroes
shine in the dark while those of white
persons do not. Scientists say that
both glow alike but the effect is more
noticeable in dark-skinned persons
because of the stronger contrast be
tween the complexion and the eyes.

grangers and their families are urg-
ed to be present. Every officer is ex-
pected to be on hand. Company is

DEL. OYSTER PLANTS

HEALTH OFFICER THIS YEAR

contagion. The responsibility for
the oysters as they came from their
beds was left to the government off
cials and the care of the packing
plants ashore devOlved upon each
state board of health.
So far no government inspectors
have come to survey the beds in Del
aware Bay and Maurice River Cove
and consequently the Delaware state
officials believe that Delaware BEDS
are considered as pretty generally
safe. There have been some beds on
the eastern seabOard that have been
condemned and the statement made
that the biValves were liable to be
polluted from sewage flowing into
the rivers. 1t is believed that the
government health experts under
took to survey the most likely beds
to show contamination first and that
they will be along soon to survey
the beds in Delaware Bay, when II
is believed are free from any con-
taminatiOn. -.
Beginning this week officials OF
the Delaware State Health Board be-
gan the inspection of oyster packing
nlants so that numbers may be is
sued and permission to do business
issued. This inspection not only in
wolves the sanitary conditions about
each packing plant but the health OF
the employees. Each man and Wo-
man working about such an oyster
packing plant will have to subject
themselves to blood and other tests |
to enable the State Board to deter
mine whether they h1ve any typhoid !
fever germs lurking in their system.
Other diseases will be sought for /
in the tests made of the blood, etc,
at the state laboratory and thus
each employee will have to have a
certificate of good health from the
State Board of Health before he or
she will be permitted to work about
an oyster canning plant.
Because a large portion of the
oyster crop was not marketed last
spring, due to the scare caused by
the alleged discovery of typhoid fe-
yer germs in oysters shipped from
the East, the oysters remaining in
their beds have grown much larger
and the market this year ought to
witness fancier prices for the BIZ
valves than a year ago.
The past summer has also been a
fine one for fattening the oysters up
and those who have examined their
beds claim that the oysters are in
most excellent shape. The oyster
men themselves are seeking to make
better by spending a mil
lion dollars in national advertising
and the government is doing its
part by urging people to buy oysters
and showing the nutritive values of
this form of shellfish.

POULTRY CULLING
DEMONSTRATION
Continued from first pagel


pOultTyman to know the improved
methods of selecting from his flock
the nOn-prOducing hens which are
absolutely worthless from the stand
point of profitable egg production.
The object of these culling demon
strations, therefore, is to teach the
pOultryman how to select these non
layers by the consideration of GER
tain points about the bird that indi-
cate whether she is a good hen or
poor one. 1t does not pay to keep
the inferior hens over the fall and
winter months, so each flock should
be culled before the birds are placed
in the laying house for the winter
season.
In view of these facts, therefore, it
is expected that a large number of
people in the yicinities in which !
these demonstrations will be con-
Quoted next week will take advan-
tage of this opportunity to become
better acquainted with this culling
practice

City Life Is More Healthful,
According to Statistics

Life in the city is more healthful
than that in the country according to
DR. George E. Vincent, president of
the Rockefeller foundation, which
last year spent more than 100000
in health work throughout the world.
in spite of the popular belief that
outdoor tasks, fresh foods and close
contact with nature afford the coun-
try dweller superior physical condi-
zion over his city cousin, many facts
point in the opposite direction, DR..
Vincent finds. A recent examination
Of 3,47S male students in one of the
large universities of the middle west
showed results that were distinctly
favorable to cities of over $1,000
population as compared to the small
towns, and those from the large
cities showed The lowest number Of
physical defects. Physicians have
iow2d that the better health protec-
tor the city affords often more thar
offsets the natural advantages of
country life.
