 Causing an Aggregate Material
 Damage in U. s. of Many Millions
 of Dollars Annually.
 CHICAGO = soot from smoke, drifting down upon American cities is sufficient in year to make layer l Itwenty-one feet thick, spread evenly over all Manhattan island. and weigh ing 70.000,000 tons, according to l figures compiled by c. U. Williams, of Bloomington, H.. worlds largest manufacturer of oil burners.
 Many communities, including ev- en whole districts in New England and in California. hay made a gener- al adoption of oil heat. in order to battle this health and financial loss menace which is one reason. with the low cost of fuel oil. why 1927 is proving to be a record-breaking year for the installation of oil burners, said Mir Williams.
 New York City fares a great deal better than many other communities. It gets only 372 tons per square mile l each year. Pittsburg. living up to | it's cartoon and funny=paper reputa- ton. gets 1850 tons In Baltimore the precipitation is 1.530 tons, in Chicago. 1.450. in Cleveland. TOO, St. Louis. 500: and Cincinatti. 800.
 Hardly an American city has rain of soot less than 100 tons per square mile per year. Reduction of the health mnaee is being accom- plished in many spots, of course. by the fast growing use of oil. If ey- cry American citizen inhales his pro rata share of the scot that floats in our smoke pail. he breathes in, every day. almost thre pounds of soot.
 "Once breathing was means of keeping alive. Today we are actual ly breathing ourselves to death. And soot in addition to taking life is causing an aggregate annual mate rial damage in cities of more than one-half billion dollars. Chicago's loss from defacement of buildings and destruction of merchandise is S50,000.000 a year"

COYOTES MENACE GAME
 OF ALASKA ASSERTS
BIOLOGICAL OFFICIAL
B. K. Stewart, Predatory Animal Expert, Finds Coyotes Alarm
 ingly Destructive in Alaska

The predatory animal situation in Alaska has reached the point where it is a real menace to game and fur life, and should have the very serious consideration of Alaskans, according to K. K. Stewart, territo- rial predatory animal hunter.
 Mr. Stewart came to Alaska in July to investigate predatory game conditions and in connection with this work he is demonstrating meth ods of trapping coyotes and wolves showing trappeEs and prospectors where to place their sets and what to use to attract the animals. He has preparel two formulas for this use and is arranging with drug stores in various towns visited, to supply local demands. It is the plan to secure the cooperation ol trappers and pros pectors in all sections of the territory which have been invaded by the pre- datory animals and an effort is to be made also to interest the federal gov ernment in the work which is now being carried on single-handed by the territory.
 In addition to preying on the young of moose and caribou and con suming the food rightfully belong ing to fur bearing animals, coyotes are directing their attention to the breeding grounds of water fowl. Between the soyoes, eagles, hawks and two species of owls which prey on the nesting places, ducks and geese are decreasing rapidly in nun. bers, Mr. Stewart says.
 MT. Stewart points out that there is real money in trapping coyotes in addition to the assistance rendered in controlling the predatory animal situation. There is bounty Of S15 for each coyote taken and the pelt has market value of s10 and upwards.
