RVEYS TO FIND
| IMPURITIES IN AIR
Health Service Studying Dust
and Other Conditions in
Fourteen Cities.


The Public Health Service is study
ing air pollution in IA cities.
Two overlapping surveys are being
made. One is to determine the amount
of dust smoke and other foreign mat
ter which keeps ultraviolet rays out.
The other is directed toward the
carbon monoXide gas from automobile
motors. 1t will also determine what
other poisonous substances the city
dweller shifts as he hurries along the
streets.
The surveys will not be completed
for more than year. The results prob
ably will be made public through the
Public Health offices in the cities where
the Investigations are being made.
They are Boston, New York, Phlla-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington, New
Orleans, Los Angeles. San Francisco,
st. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland,
Buffalo and Pittsburgh
w. A. Gill, field worker of the serv-
ice, is now in New Orleans. He is
studying the amount OF smoke, dust
and other similar matter in city air.
j. j. Bloomfield will test for carbon
monoxide and other injurious SUBJ
stances.
Studies to determine the effect of au-
tomobile fumes and other gases in city
air was made about four or five years
ago in IA cities. The only change in
locality in the present inquiry is the
substitution Of New Orleans for Mil
Waukee
A result Of the former inquiry was
the discovery that automobile fumes
were not injurious as one who has
stood behind smoking exhaust might
suspect.

81 VETERAN AID
BILLS BEFORE
new CONGRESS
Most Expensive Proposals
Those Relating to
Compensation.

b. Scripps-Hoisdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18,-In spite
OF many promises that no further
demands would be made upon the
federal treasury in behalf of vet
Grams, eighty-seven bills for their
relief now are pending before the
new congress.
Most expensive, so far as the i'm
mediate future is concerned, are
those relating to adjusted compen-
sation. There are twenty-four such
bills, and a considerable number of
these call for immediate payment
OF the full face value of veterans
certificates, while most Of the rest
propose suspending interest pay
ments of those who have borrowed
on their certificates.
Cost Huge Sum
Legislation enacted last spring
permitting service men to borrow
up to so per cent of the value Of
their certificates had cost the treas
ury 81, 100000 up to Sept. 30. An
additional 5000, 900 600 will be loaned
before the end Of the fiscal year,
the administration estimates, but if
all veterans should ask for the
money due them, the government
would need to pay out $577, 100000
This indicates that payment of the
full face value, if congress would
approve it, would cost the govern
ment another $1,000 100000.
Sixteen bills propose pensions for
widows and children of World war
veterans. Seventeen others would
liberalize the disqualification pro-
visions OF the present law, or pro-
vide new hospitals.
Payment of Allowance
One proposes payment of allow
ances for dependents of a veteran
while he is In the hospital. An
other would provide for hospitaliza-
ton Of veterans Of the Confederate
army and navy.
Six measures provide for more
liberal administration OF veterans
insurance laws.
Creation of a judicial tribunal to
consider appeals from rulings Of
the administration of veterans af-
fairs is suggested.
Expenditures for veterans relief,
exclusive of adjusted compensation
loans, will amount to $1,O72, O64, SGT
under existing laws, according to the
estimate of the budget bureau.
