CITY TO Open
CRUSADE ON
SMOKE EVIL
Drive Against Nuisance to
Be Launched About
January Is.
NEW ENGINEER ON JOB
Combination Expert to Be
Chosen Soon; Barton in
Line for Post.
NEW ENGINEER ON JOB

An intensive drive against. the
long prevalent smoke nuisance will
be begun about Jan. Is by the city
building department.
Building Commissioner William
HWd plans ciJy-wide smoke abate-
ment campaign through the new
combustion engineer. who will be
chosen by the safety board within
week or two.
The $4,000 year position created
in the 1929 appropriation ordinance
probably will be filled by Frank
Barton, 6125 Buckingham drive, the
only person who took the recent
engineering examination to qualify
for the post.
Barton conferred with Hurd and
Mayor L. Ert Slack today relative
to the abatement program, pre-
liminary to his appointment. He
made grade of SO on the test,
which requires a passing mark of
10 per cent.
Barton to Get Berth
Being the only applicant. for the
position, it is likely that he will re-
ceive the appointment. He has
taken some Purdue university ex-
tension courses, which are said to
qualify him for the post.
Nov that We have the position
of combustion engineer under the
new budget, we expect to start
smoke abatement in earnest. All
specifications for new heating and
power equipment must pass through
the hands of the combustion engi-
neer and conform to requirements
of the city building code" Hurd said.
"We shall make every effort to
abate smoke i'll indianapolis. This
is a problem Of long concern to the
public. 1t can not be accomplished
in day, however"
Club to Cooperate
AS present heating and power
equipment become obsolete, it will
be replaced with modern type
plants
Hurd said he planned to cooper
ate with the Woman's Department
Club smoke abatement committee
civic organizations and industries In
abating the smoke nuisance.
IF it becomes necessary, We will
order arrests of violators of the
CODE" Hurd warned.

committees administer the affairs of
United States Steel or the General
Motors Corporation.
Chicago, as q corporation, is larger
than either or both of those two
companies, and a group Of bust

manufacturers and flnanciers, be-
lieve that the city's only salvation
lies in adopting big business meth

enlisted the support Of numerous
other men of high standing in the
business and professional world in
Guiding julius Rosenwald. and Mar

Mayor william Hale Thompson
was among the first to manifest
open opposition to the plan. Its
other opponents include Alder
man John Couchlin and Albert r.

had set out to clean up the city
through cooperation with the new
law enforcement officials elected in

Under. the Strawn plan engineers
would be placed in charge of public
works, bankers at the head of tax
spending bodies, and prominent
lawyers gover legal departments.
Over fall the experts. whose sal
aries would be paid by the corpora

would be a general executive.
Strawn believes that the big cor
porations would be glad to pay the
salaries of $4,000 or 100000 a year
men, in the hope that they would
save money in the long run through
reduced taxes under a strictly bust
ness administration.

PASTOR WARNS
OF GIRL PERILS'
IrTeIigiOuS One Is Called
Most Dangerous Type.

Young men, beware of the irreli-
gious girl, for she is the most dam
gerous type!
That is what DR.. Frank Lee Rob-
erts, pastor of the Central Avenue
Methodist Episcopal church, said
Sunday night when Fhs preached on
Dangerous Girls"
In addition to the 'irrehgious
girl" who, Roberts said. turns her
back on God and because of this is
not qualified to build a home or be
mother" there are four other
dangerous types"
These. are: The "clinging vine,''
the Jealous. the gimme" and the
smart girl"
Run from the clinging vine type
of girl" Roberts said. "She will
fiatter her sutton and tell him what
strong protecting man he is. But
after the marriage she will prove to
be utterly helpless, a drag upon
her husbands energies and nerves
1.-THE jealous woman is pleasing
to the man with ego,' but she makes
terrible wife and becomes worse
with the years"
The gimme" type puts her hus-
band through the traces to keep
her supplied with everything she
wants, Roberts said. The smart
girl is not the intelligent one, but
the type that likes to do shady
things that deaden her moral sense
and smirch her character"
This is the first of DR.. Roberts
six services to be devoted to discus
sions of the American home.

NEW YORK, May Ability stocks
were again the features of trading on
the Curb Exchange today. The general
list was irregular and there was large
profit taking, but not more than might
have been expected in view of the re-
cent strength.
The utilities were favored largely be-
cause of the publicity given to the
United Corporations plan for the &C
QUESTION of new holdings as we'll as its
success in connection with obtaining
100000 shares of United Gas Improve
ment for which it has been bidding.
United Corporation opened on a block
of 10000 shares at 643a. compared with
the preceding close of 81. and at a new
high record. United Gas Improvement
sold of on the announcement. How
ever, American Superpower new" made
peak price since dealings in it were
begun and the old "a" and "B" stock
pushed ahead. Rochester Central. Pow
err was rather heavily sold, losing part
of its recent gain. The corporation is
to become affiliated with the Associated
Gas & Electric system.
Auburn Automobile continued its adj
vance into record high territory, selling
above 205. There is talk of a Split-up
in the shares, and estimates of earnings
for the year are in some quarters put
as high as $35 share. General Allows
Steel likewise went to a new high. fol-
lowing a similar performance Friday.
The corporation is said to be operating
at capacity and with earnings running
at the rate of 81 annually. 1t is ex-
pected the dividend will be increased
from the present 80-cent rate.
Aviation stocks were active and irreg-
ular. Aviation Corporation of America
was up over three points, but Western
Air Express was lower.
