THE SNOkE PLAGUE

The Institution of Fuel Technology in London has
been learning unpleasant facts about English at
mosphere. Two and a half million tons of SCOT are
distributed England every year. One-fifth of
that is tar and another large part is sulphuric acid
both brought down by the ran poisoning the soil and
helping to destroy buildings. a considerable portion
of sooty matter stays IN the air. particularly in London
and other cities There it darkens the day gets into
human lungs and does other material damage. 1t is
said that ordinary winter day in London every
cubic centimeter of air contains 1000 to 5000 par
tices. On day of dense smoke haze the particles
increase to $4,000 100000
The proper Of fuel would eliminate great deal
of this plague of soot But before we make any un-
complimentary remarks about Englands long indiffer
ence to the possibilities of smoke elimination, we
should consider of industrial cities With
modern scientific understanding appliances at hand,
with knowledge of cleaner fuels and of cleaner ways
the drtnaking fuels, many cities let the smoke
menace grow apace blackenng their fine build
ings choking trees and grass nuring human health,
causing expensive damage to fabrics.
How long will the public be blind to its own good
and its power in this regard?

CLUBS INSTEAD or BALLOTS

An American political science professor admits that

that much of the influence the has surrendered
by ignoring elections he will regain by connection with
organizations associations that take interest
public affairs Such groups bring pressure bear on
public officials, do good deal research work to dg
up administrative, political and facts and keep
up fairly steady educational campaign among men,
berS.
he professor doesn't say whether he approves of
this method Of democracy. He merely gives It as his
observation OF the current trend.
Homen's clubs and mems clubs both local and na-
uona IN their scope, certainly showing ncreaS-
ing interest in pubic affairs They appoint special
committees to investigate the working laws, the
QUALIFICATIONS OF candidates for pubnc office the be
haFor OF nculnbentS IN public Offices, and many other
phases OF community and national IlIe Ihey make
recommendations and pass resolutions and take yari-
Gus sorts Of action which sometimes seem to have be
etlcal results. Their OBVIOUS ana outstanding
1aure, however IS IN the eItort to get their member
ship INTO the voting booths any election day SO
lar they have worked for in vain.
On educational side, such organization is excel
lent and ought to be encouraged. But the safety and
proprlety OF their efforts to influence public officials
open to question. Without the backing Of large
and intelligent vote, their work offers too much op-
portunity for lobbying and for the exercise of wrong
influence we'll as good.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causeo of Illness
BY DR. afORRIs k1sHBEIN

The psychologists of Stanford University. who recently published
 the results of their study of the lives of 300 eminent men and wo- men. in m attempt to determine
 what degree of mental ability eharactsrixes the genius in child hood. developed some practical if not startling conclusions. They soon found that they must know also the hereditary background Of the person who achieved distinction and also what contribution to his success had been made by his sur roundinss in early life. s. They found that youths who achieve eminencs have in general . quality of parents above the average and many superior advan- tages in their carly surroundings. The son of an eminent lord high treasurer. of an ambitious army general. of | president of tho United States. of . British admiral. or of an eminent scholar may be expected to rise to . position above tho average.
 Not all the sons of the eminent achieve success. however. A favor able heredity is an asset. yet tho special combination Of inherited traits that makes genius Is im- portAnt. 50 that an eminent man may bs the son of tinker as was Bunyan. author of Pilgrims Pro- gress": of a mason, as was Carlyle. author of ''The French Revolution: of . strapmaker. as was the phil osopher Kant: of a day laborer as was Captain James Cook. celebrated British navigator: of of peasant. as was Cornelis Jansen. famous Dutch theologian.
 Young seniuses seemed to have special opportunity for superior education and for elevating and in- spiring social contacts. Pitt, tho younger. John Quincy Adams and the Humboldt brothers had train ing for leadership. Mozart. Michel. angelo and Weber had much spe- cfalized instruction. On the other hand. the opportunity in youth of Abraham Lincoln. Faraday and Butcher was not such as to ilakeo for success. While individual chances for eminence are usually dependent upon a favorable heredi- tary background and are increased by favorable opportunities emil hence is not dependent on either or both.

It was known now all through the Green Forest and all over the Green Meadows and all through the Old Pasture, even up in tho Old Orchard and down at the Smiling Pool. that there was a Miss Coyote. though only . few had seen her. Blacky he Crow and Sammy Jay had seen her. for you cannot keep out Of sight Of those sharp eyes of theirs very long. and it is useless to try. Of course they spread the news.
 Right away everybody was anx- jous for a glimpse of Miss Coyote. They wanted to see if she were like Old Man Coyote. But Miss Coyote was shy. Yes. indeed. Miss Coyote was shy. She was 50 shy that no one tot more than a glimpse of her. not even Old Man Coyote, although he tried his very best.
 Poor Old Man Coyote! He lost his appetite: he couldn't sleep: he couldn't even sit still. And all the time Miss Coyote leased him by keeping just out of his way. He would get glimpse of her. but mat was all Sometimes he would call to her longingly Sometimes he would lose his temper and howl at her. But shy little Miss Coyote wouldn't give him n chance to make her ac- quaintance.
 Of course. all the ne.ghbors know what was going on. Sammy Jay spent a great deal of time watching old Man Coyote and Miss Coyote Of course he had 10 talk about : Peter" said he to Peter Rabbit who was sitting on the edge of h. dear Old Rriar- patch. Peter. think Old Man Coyote will 0o crazv.''
 Huh" replied Peter T think h' is crazy anyway. He certainly sounds crazy But why do you say thato"
 Because. replied Sammy. che doesn't eat and he doesn't sleep. 'ut spends all his time looking for that Miss Coyote who has come here 10 live"
 "Huh." said Peter. Whats the matter with him? I thought Old Man Coyote vas smart. To be sure. he hasn't been smart enough 10 catch me yet. but still. I thought he was smart. Does she run away from him. or what?"
 'T guess she's shy" replied Sammy. Anyway. she's clever. Just as Old Man Coyote thinks he is go- ing to find her she manages to slip away"
 "I. she afraid Of him?" inquire Peter
 Y don't know" said Sammy. '1f she is. she's queer. for she spends most of her time hanging around where he is.'
 "Huh!" said Peter again. Then Peters eyes fcgan 10 twinkle. Pres cntlv> he began to chuckle.
 What are you chucklins overo' inonired Sammy.
 T was thinking Of little Mrs. Peter" replied Peter.
 "Well. what of it?" asked Sammy.
 '1 was thinking of her when she wasn't Mrs. Peter at all. but just little Miss Fnzzytail. replied Peter,
 Well, what of that? What is there 10 chuckle about?" demanded Sammy.
 Well" replied Peter. Y recall that little Miss Fuzzytail did to me just what Miss Coyote is doing to
