Cities Declare War
On Smoke Nuisance

From the Portland (oreg.) Daily Journal
The smoky city of tomorrow will not
be popular with aviators. The peril to
aviators of clouds of smoke over large
cities is manifest even to laymen. Three
planes were recently lost in the smoke
over Pittsburgh and were finally rescued
by local pilot.
Abatement of the smoke nuisance
has become an active movement in
many cities. The smoky city of the
future will be at a disadvantage, be-
cause the most important of the cities
are going to make war on the nuisances
as an unnecessary and destructive
agent.
Among American cities that have de-
clared hostilities against smoke is New
York. A city-wide conference on the
smoke problem there the other day in
cluded engineers, civic associations,
representatives of buildings and owners
of buildings.
One report by a staff of experts at
the meeting showed tine deleterious
effect of smoke both on buildings and
on health. ToWboat owners who prom
lSed to abate the smoke nuisance III
their operations failed to do so and were
summoned before the New York COM
missioner of health to explain why.
The comparatively easy means by
which the smoke problem can be solved
and cities be freed of the overhanging
smoke clouds makes it certain that the
cities that continue to tolerate the evil
Will be at disadvantage.

Good Year for Study
OF Antarctic Weather

The selection of this year for the

nent.
This years weather in Australia,
where the Summer Is just merging into
Autumn, Is turning out to be excep-
tional in many ways. especially in ex-
IRENE droughts alternating with floods
and violent storms. 1t is especially
fortunate for science, Australian mete-
biologists believe, that we'll equipped

ice conditions and of Antarctic weather
will be available for comparison with
the unusual weather experienced
farther North.
In New South Wales, for example, the
month of January Is reported to have
been the dryest in 10 years. Bush
fires" the Australian equivalent of the
prairie fires" and forest fires" of the
United States, have been more numer-
GUS and destructive than at any time
since the settlement of Australia by the
whites. At the same time unusual
weather is reported from Southern
South Africa. Whaling stations in the
Antarctic Oceans report exceptional
storms. Antarctic weather seems un-
usually disturbed this year, doubtless as
result of the variations of sunlight
which have disturbed the weather of
the Northern Hemisphere also. produc-
ing. for example, the recent cold waves
in Europe.

Tempered Enthusiasm Creets
Survey for Nicaraguan Canal

1t took a hundred years of discus
sion and surveying to get the Panama
Canal, so the American press greets
with tempered enthusiasm the pro-
posal to survey the Nicaraguan route
for another passage between the Allan
tic and Pacific. Nevertheless the prof.
ect is quite generally approved, even
by those who hold that actual need for
second canal still is long time Off
The Los Angeles Express speaks for
the Pacific Coast, and, holding that
"the Panama Canal already has proved
inadequate" observes: Because for
more than a century Congress had
dallied with the project of a Nicaragua
Canal, because so many starts have
been made that have come to nothing.
it will be as we'll to keep in rein the
enthusiasm that the resolution in Con-
greSS might be expected to arouse on
the Pacific Coast. 1t is necessary only
to go down to Los Angeles Harbor to
appreciate the benefits of the Panama
Canal Nobody can deny that second
canal would bring equally great bene-
fits to both domestic and foreign COM
merce. But Congress moves slowly"
Advantages in a canal nearer the
United States are set forth by the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch in the statement:
only Il per cent of the traffic through
the Panama Canal either comes from
or goes to ports south. The other 70
per cent would save a day. or 434
statute miles, by going through the
Nicaragua Canal. A days sailing
means $500 to freighter The Panama
Canal cost S445, 100000. 1t is estimated
that the Nicaragua Canal may cost a
billion dollars. The cost is not i'm
portant. When we built the Panama
Canal We neither realized what it would
cost nor foresaw that traffic would out
grow it in less than Is years. So goes
the world!"
Noting that survey in Panama is
joined with the Nicaragua project, the
Providence Bulletin states that while
the making of surveys does not COM
NIT the country to build the Nicaragua
or even to improve the present Panama
waterway. it is highly probable that
constructive action will be proposed
soon after the surveys have been COM
pleted and made public. That Ameri-
scan interests in the Caribbean area
would be enhanced tremendously by the
construction of another interoceanic
canal can, of course. be taken for
granted" concludes the Bulletin.
There Is growing recognition" In
the opinion of the Kansas City Journal
Post, mot only that the destruction or
even temporary closing of the Panama
Canal by an aerial or sea attack is a
danger that should not be ignored. but
that the situation in Central America
makes immediate action imperative
Even preliminary steps for a foreign
controlled canal in competition with
the Panama Canal would be hurtful"

Radio, Yet i'm Infancy,
Rivals Old Company

From the Springfield. Mass, Daily Republican.
While the net income of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. in 1928 was
Sl43, 10000 and the net income of the
Radio Corporation of America in the
same period was something over S23,-
100000, the Radio Corporations brief
existence throws its financial showing
into high relief.
The telephone business is so years
Old; the radio business, on a sound
commercial basis, Is not 10 years old.
Yet the Radio Corporation of America
last year earned net income about
one-eighth as large as that of the huge
moropolistic American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. The comparative net
earnings of these two companies are not
an accurate index, however, to the
present relative standing of the two
industries as whole.
Radio, commercially exploited, Is
hardly beyond infancy Its possibilities
are much broader than those of the

Across the ground glass of that liv-

There is a western tide which sets in

Paper Says Best U. S.
Brains Avoid Politics

From the Kansas City Journal.
1t is unfortunate that there is some
truth in Senator James A. Reeds as
sertion that there is little or no reward
for honest public service. 1t is due to
this fact that the best brains in the
United States go for the most part into
business instead of politics.
AS result of this condition, public
office too often attracts inferior men
who lack the character to resist cor
rupting influences and the mentality to
discharge their duties with efficiency
and distinction. In a so-called dollar
worshiping country, where money is de-
sired as symbol of ability rather than
for itself, persons of independent means
who are qualified for public service
strive after more wealth in preference
to running for Office. Politics is thereby
cheapened.
There are exceptions. of course. like
the members of the Adams family, but
they are rarer than they should be.
And there are indirect rewards, such as
the more remunerative practice which
comes to lawyers who are elected to the
Senate, reward which Senator Reed
himself has enjoyed However. there
are many other offices which do not
carry this advantage.
In England. where politics is much
more dignified, it is great honor to
be elected to Parliament or to be chosen
lord mayor of London. Public office
carries a distinction which justifies eff
fort on the part of citizens of real at
tainments. the kind of men who have
made American industry what it is to-
day.
Not until a similar atmosphere is Gre
ated here will our political brains equal
our business brains. But unfortunately
this atmosphere cannot be created until
better qualified men 60 into politics in
spite of the present atmosphere. These
difficulties create condition which only
the most optimistic can regard COM
placently.

Silhouettes on ground glass con-
stantly passed to and fro, drifting by
on important missions into the nothing
ness of right and left.
They came along the corridor OF the
business office building like shadows
of real human beings, rather than the
live men and women which they really
we're.
A high bright light in a fancy sus-
pended globe outlined them one by one
as they passed, casting their reflections
on the glass, where they stood forth
momentarily.
Their passage across that sheet of
Opaque glass, wherein they were pic
tured for the duration of the passing,
seemed to set forth the fateful march
of humanity across the stage of this
world.
They came from a nothingpess, stood
sight again, lost to view in wood and
plaster.
Their footsteps, however, still re-
sounded down the corridor.
X x j; *
Sometimes behind the clear-cut
shadows appeared vaguely other shad-
ows, farther from the screen. and
hence not SO easily apprehended.
The features of these latter were
vague, as if somehow they had not
managed to push themselves far for
ward enough.
Perhaps they needed helping hand
to shove them into the lamplight, in
order that their reflections might be
more clear in the eyes of the world.
Those dim distant shapes, which
seemed scarcely more than blots, per-
haps were those who had relied too
implicitly on the old hokum, Work
hard, young mani" which does yeoman
service in commencement addresses
and magazine articles.
Or perhaps the vagueneSs Of those
in the background was simply due to
physical laws, the distance of their
bodies and faces from the all-reveal-
ing screen. and the size OF the sus-
pended lamp and the light thereof.
Who can say?
There went shape putting away on
a big cigar, a fat. important shape
whose cigar was almost bigger than
couple of fitting images, which APP
peared almost to be supporting His I'M
portanCe.
He stood stock-still for an instant,
his cigar dwindled to small cube, as
he foreshortened it In turning his head.
Then he went on, and the plaster and
wood of the corridor wall swallowed
him.
1t swallowed them all. Men, women,
even the little figures of children, which
now and then appeared there, dWindled
into nothingness to right or left OF the
ground glass in the office corridor VIM
dow.
Was there no hope that any one
would not be swallowed up? Might not
some fair vision CLEAN in that light
forever?

A woman appeared, and stopped just
where the globe cast her silhouette per-
fectly. She seemed as If cut out of black
paper by the scissors of master, and
applied to the outer side of the glass,
where she took on the appearance OF
permanence.
Her little hat, tight-fitting, came
down over hair at whose color an OBJ
server had to guess; but there were
stray locks which blew gently as
shadows, now changing from dark to
