Carbon Monoxide Gas.

Frequent fatalities from CARBON
monoxide gas during the past few years
have served to warn the public against
this deadly and treachsrous constituent
of the automobile exhaust.
widespread publicity on the dangers
of the closed car and the closed garage
probably has served to lessen the num-
Der Of fatal accidents, but 1t never could
be expected to eliminate them alto
sether. So long as the gas continues
to permeate the atmosphere 1t will claim
occasional careless victims.
So the announcement by Johns
Hopkins chemist of means of elimi-
mating this waste product which can be
incorporated in the structure Of the
machine itself is of considerable impor-
lance. The discovery is catalyst over
which the gas passes on its way from
the motor and which automatically
transforms it into the comparatively
harmless carbon dioxide. Simplification
of the device to the point where 1t will
be a required accessory to all cars may
be expected to follow.
But the discovery may do much more
than eliminate the possibility of occa-
sional carbon n1onoxide fatalities. into
the atmosphere above city streets there
is q constant outpouring of this gas
from niultitudes of automobiles. 1t
mixes with the atmosphere which every
one is forced to breathe. The effects OF
this are debatable. Certainly there is
not enough Of it in the air to cause any
sudden deaths or any effects immedi-
ately noticeable. This sometimes has
led to the statement that it is harmless
There is no certainty, however, that
the effect of long-continued breathing
of minute quantities of carbon nlonoxide
may not be very harmful. 1t is difncult
to measure. 1t may manifest itself In
ailments which cannot easily be traced
to their original source. The human
organism is delicately adjusted to the
atmosphere in which it lives. Any up
setting of the balance of elements In
this atmosphere may have far-reaching
results.
without this discovery the rapid in
crease in the number of motor vehicles
and their concentration on certain busy
streets. hemmed in by tall buildings,
might have brought about progressive
lassitude and nervous degeneration
among great numbers of people which
would have been dificult to explain.
Advances in civilization seldom are
unmixed blessings. New, good is at
tended by new evil. and sometimes the
two are in even balance. This discov-
cry may constitute very considerable
factor in weighing the balance In favor
of the automobile.

Shivaree Proposed
AS a Startling Cure

TO the Editor Of The Star:
While down in the shopping district
during December was very much In
terested In watching the starltngs that
roasted on the sides and tops of build
ings and attracted so much attention
from passers by
Since then I have read many articles
about unsuccessful attempts to rid the
aforementioned and other localities of
the pests.
My method may seem crude, but as
crude and as comical as Il appears, my
self, with the assistance of other neigh
bors who were similarly annoyed. were
quite successful In employing 1t to make
unfayorable conditions for these noisy
birds
First, we noticed the time of their ar
rival each evening, and such fiocks
there were perching In the topmost
branches Of the TAN trees. So, Just
about the same hours each evening, and
just at the time when the flock arrived
and was about to light. my nelghbors
and I. some from windows nearest the
branches. would beat loudly upon old
tin pans with heavy spoons or metal.
This we continued for about I'VE min
utes.
1t was amusing as well as amazing TO
note the magic effect the noise had
upon these settlers.
This method we employed for about
a week. Since then we have not been
annoyed by the birds.
OF course. am not expecting such q
seemingly ridiculous method to be en-
ployed in the downtown district. But
I was thinking that the effect of noise
on the startling may aid your scientists
or men employed to make a study of
the bird in devising some plan to rid US
Of them. MRS. w. II. COWAN.

Mather Testimonial
Plan Is Commended

From the Columbus, Ohio. Evening Dispatch
Lovers of our national parks who
happen also to know something of their
management during recent years will be
glad to know of the rapid progress of q
movement to create fitting testimonial
to the work Of Stephen Tynp Mather
director of the National Park Service
since 1917 until his resignation. because
of i'll health, little more than year
ago.
It is fine idea to provide this testi-
monial while Mr.. Mather is living. No
one could appreciate more keenly than
he this proof that his self-sacriflcing
devotion to the development Of the ma
tional park system had taken wide and
deep hold upon the hearts of the Amer
lean people. That hold was just what
he was laboring to produce, for with the
national park idea once solidly imbed-
ded In the hearts of the people. there
need be no fear for the future OF these
magnificent reservations.
John Hays Hammond Is at the head
of the committee. and contributions are
coming in from all parts Of the country.
Just what form the testimonial will take
has not yet been definitely decided, but
1t will be something entirely appropriate
and directly connected with the national
park system.

to as. Before the war there was an
enormous immigration influx and most
Of the immigrants were young men and
women. Now immigration has been re-
duced notably, but the individuals who
constituted the last great wave are still
Under IS years Of age. But they are
growing older and there will be very
few newcomers to take their places in
this important age bracket. Their chill
dren will not have attained to age
when they will head families Of their
own.
When the present generation we're in
fants they benefited by the beginning Of
the remarkable progress of medical
science which so materially has reduced
infant mortality. Many more OF them
survived than had been the case with
the previous generation. This Is re-
sponsible for another bulge in the i'm
portant age bracket. It cannot be as
serted that the sensational decline in
child mortality will continue at any
thing like the same rate in the future.
Since the population bulge in these
age brackets Is abnormal, statistics based
upon the present birth rate carry an
inherent fallacy, and the truth can be
arrived at only by taking this into con-
sheraton. If it were not for this con-
dition. says Dr. Dublin, the population
of the United States would become sta
tionary next year instead of thirty years
hence.
Is there any reason to fear station
airy populationa Superficially it might
seem a good thing. We may hope, at
least, that q nations need of man power
for war is q thing of the past. A bal
ance can be arrived at between produc-
ton and consumption, which will be
good thing
But this view does not take into con-
sideration that American industry and
agriculture are established on the basis
of a growing population and that re-
adjustment will be a dif1cult and pain
full process which is likely to involve
much unemployment and suffering. 1t
is well to know in time what is in store
fer us, 50 that the necessary readjust-
ment can be made gradually and with
scientific sanity.

Party Lineup Seen
In Virginia Houses
From the Roanoke world-News.

From the Roanoke World-News
According to a tabulation made by
the Richmond News-Leader, the anti
Smith faction, which contributed Sc
much noise to the recent State election,
failed to elect single member to either
branch Of the Virginia Legislature. Its
collapse was signal and complete. The
movement and its leaders will not be
heard of again. And there Is much
evidence that the Republican party In
Virginia, weakened by the recent con-
test, Is heartily sorry that 1t allowed
itself to enter into such an entanglins
alliance.
The News-Leader reports that the
Legislature, which convenes In Rich
mond on January 8, will have q strictly
party lineup, that no member of either
branch will appear as an "anti-Smith.' y
There are Democrats and Republicans,
but no independents. 1t reports the
Senate roll as 80 Democrats and
Republicans; the House of Delegates,
SO Democrats and z Republicans, a Re-
publican gain of over the 1928 ses-
sion. when there were but Republicans
in the Lower House.

mon institution among the Indians was
the sweat bath. They would sweat
in a specially constructed sweat house
which was closed up to keep the heat in,

sweated enough, would suddenly run
outdoors, giving warwhoops, throw
themselves into the cold water, and
after while re-enter the sweat house

The Future Population.

4 stationary population of approx
naately $50 100000 for the United States
in thirty o. forty years is predicted by
DR.. Louis I. Dublin, noted statistician.
This careful analysis of population
trends differs radically from more OPP
tirnistie pictures which have been pre-
scented in recent years and which have
promised nation Of at least 200 0o0, 900
souls by the year 1000. Both predictions
have resulted from the application Of
statistical formulas to current birth and
death reports. But DR.. Dublin has
found one of those obscure but vital
fallacies which are likely to enter the
work of the most scrupulous statisti-
clans.
The American birth rate now seems
to exceed the death rate by a healthy
margin, but It is an abnormal and tenn
pcrary birth rate due to the fact that
an unusually large number Of persons
are In the reproductive ages Of from IL

Foot Ball Once Held

bootlegger Of this day and time. He
was the object of parliamentary decree,
pulpit sermonizing mayoralty edict and,
finally, ktngly pronunctamento. That
was in the reigns of Edward III and
Henry v. The reason was a rather ele-
mental one of the young men of that
era who insisted on gathering on the
commons and battling long and ex-
haustingly as two great contending
mobs instead of going orderly about the
practice of archery-the elemental pre-
paredness Of the years before gunpow-
der became war agency.
Jail sentences were provided for those
who chose to disregard the various

Senator La Toilette has never indi-
Gated that he was opposed to the pro-
tective tariff theory. Like his father,
who also was q member of the Senate
committee on finance, his effort has
been rather to bring the benefits OF pro-
lection to the people of the West and to
see to 1t that duties on manufactured
goods were raised to point where ex-
oTbitant prices would not be charged
to the consumers.
The Republican "Old Guard" of the
Senate so called has received a series
of severe jolts during the past year. Its
membership has been depleted by death
and resignation. But more particularly
there is a younger group of Republican
Senators, men who have come into the
Upper House within a few years, who
have not been as amenable to the con-
troll Of the Old Guardsmen as has been
the case in the past. These younger
Senators hail not only from the West,
but from Eastern States also. They
have not been content to follow the odd

between the Republicans OF the West
and the East which might become COM
parable to the old Bull Moose split in

The strong opposition made by "Old
Guard" members of the committee on
committees to the assignment of La
Toilette to the finance committee and
the failure Of that opposition is in
dicative of the change which is coming
In the Republican control of the Sen
ate. From a political standpoint the
Republicans would be foolish to ALLEVIATE

sets and Rhode Island, are threatening
to become Democratic.
