nVER most big cities of America and E,Irope
- IdhgS a pan OF smoke, shortening the lives of
t me hnaoltants, damaging property and creating
onghted areas. So say H B. Meller. head of the
air pollution investigation of the Mellon Institute
CT Industrial Research of Pittsburgh and L. B.
Slsson. industrial fellow of the institute. who has
oeen cooperating in the investigation
"A record defiance Of the law of gravitation has
accompanied the development of cities" the in
vestgators say. For centuries men have been toss
ing into the air the SCOT tar, ash cnders and other
waste products Of the combustion of fuel in the an
parent belief that what went I'D would not como
down, or at least would not come down on their own
heads and possessions
History probably offers no comparable instance
OF persistence in the pursuit Of conSpcuousy false
disposal process, damaging alike to health and
property"
The investigators are urging that the United
States government in its program for slun clearance
and the rehabilitation of blighed areas give careful
thought to the relation between smoke and Sums
Mr.. MELLER and Mr. Sisson believe that no re-
w Mobilization scheme can succeed unless the
smoke problem is taken into consideration and some
thing done about it.
Concentrated smoke deposits do more than i'm
pose barrier to the effective and economical re-
generation OF blighted areas" they say.
A MOVEMENT to do something about the smoke
\ nuisance has been started in ST. Louis the two
scientists say.
The new mayor there, supported by business
and civic organizations including the Citizens
Smoke Abatement League is personally heading a
movement for purer air" they say. His fact-fnd-
ing committee has just submitted recommendations
Tor new and much more drastic ordinance"
Mr.. Meler and Mr.. Sisson urge that governmental
and other authorities adopt definite policy in the
matter. AS minimum, they recommend the fol-
lowing requirements:
That where loan is made for the repair or
alteration Of fuel-burning equipment the borrower
shall satisfy the lender that the repaired or altered
furnace, using the same fuel as formerly, shall be
capable Of comparatively snokeless operation or
that smokeless fuel, gas, coke, anthracite shall
be used
THAT where loan Is made for heating
equipment. the lender shall require that this equip
msnt meet the standards Of snekelesS operation"

aside. The foreigners were a
diffident class, somewhat bewil-
dered by the violent methods of
their new country which spoke so
loudly of liberty.
AS an alien who wished to vote
the Republican ticket came near
to the polls, one of his friends,
walking away with his jat damned
on his head or his clothes flecked
with mud, would say, Don't go
near there, Tony. You'll be safer
off at home"
One group of Republicans, not
so timid as their brothers, rushed
the polls shouting excitedly. For
eign curses burned the air as the
police rushed in with flying night
sticks. It was a bloody battle
royal, with the police having a
decided edge. Irish Democrats
joined in the melee with joyous
whoops.
When the whir of fists and
nightsticks died away, the polics
were sternly holding several be-
draggled and torn Republican
voters. The Republican politi-
clans had arranged beforehand
that if such a scrap should occur
that bail would be provided for the
loyal members. However, the
Democrats had a smarter plan
than that. The police were or
dered to hold the pugilistic voters
at the polls and not bring them
down to the station until after
the voting had closed.
TINE Republican leader was a
Il bluff man, whom we will
call Bill. Bill looked frantically
a the SCARED remains at what
had once been Republican voters.
He must have felt like Napoleon
viewing the ruins of his crack
troops at Waterloo.
But like other great warriors,
Bill had plan which he could
use in case everything went
wrong. There was a boy named
Ray, who was a scrapper. wild
fighting man. Bill had gotten
Ray out of Jail several times when
Ray had broken little too joy
fully into a fistic fray.
Bill hastily made his way into

This seemed to be subStantiated in part by one
of the senators who interrupted the police chief to
ask whether or not it the truth that the busl-
ness of eliminating poorooms in important Amer
lean cities was not of the most d1scouraglng
assignments of the law.
The police chief replied in practically so many
words that he wouldn't know about that thus es-
tablishing himself in the record member OF the

things the only time any police chief knows about
poolrooms is when the proper orders arrive.

business men believed that they
could limit production and do
away with "cutthroat compsti-
ton"
1t was the animating idea which
seemed to justify the severity of
the securities act. 1t was not
inspired simply by the need to
prevent fraud and other abuses.
The sponsors of that act frankly
believed that there had been an
overinveStment of capital and that
it was desirable to put the brakes
on future investment.
TWELVE months ago this be-
4 lief that the depression was

general belief throughout the ma

most of the administration, which
brought them to the controls, the
planning and the RECOMMENDATION.
There may be some new deal
ers who believed in planned
economy for its own sake. as a
more rational organization of
economic life. But that is not why
congress enacted and the coun-
try approved measures to plan
and control agriculture and in
duStry.
When they went in for plan
ming, what did they plan for?
They planned for less wheat, for
less cotton. less hogs, less oil, less
new machinery in industry, less
hours of work Our planning has
been, and is solely, planning to
prevent SURPRISES.
Insofar as the President and his
advisers fail to recognize the sig
nif1cence of the revival of enter
prise. which they have done so
much to bring about. insofar as
they attempt to perpetuate in a
period Of recovery restrictive meas
ures which were the palliatives of
the period of panic depression,
they will be losing touch with the
realities, and their leadership will
become increasingly impaired.
Unless they can see that there
has been a change of phase in
the cycle of affairs, they will find
themselves losing prestige as the
country gains prosperity.

Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN,

VXTHFN Won do not get sufficient sleep, your work
w the next day is bound to suffer. Almost
everybody has observed this fact himself. but like
all beliefs of mankind this one has recently been
subjected to scientific study.
Some psychologists at the University of Chicago
experimental with six men. who on different occa-
sions went without sleep for sixty hours. During
these waking hours the students we're tested as to
their ability stand upright with their eyes closed
their reactions to sound and light, and their mental
ability in a simple test
In addition the investigators tested the men who
went without sleep to their ability to hold their
hands steady the accuracy of their vision and the
response of their skins to the of touch and of
pain.
1T was found first of all that it much harder
i to keep awake and much more difficult to pass
tests successfully in the hours between 8 and s
O'Clock in the morning, which the usual hours
of best sleep than is to keep awake or pass tests
successfully later during the day.
When we are short of sleep likely to be
much irritable than when we have had suf-
ficient sleep Indeed as the length of time without
sleep continues, We may seem to be semiconscious.
Some of the men stared out into space and ac-
tualy resembled persons who had a little too much
alcohol and we're about to pass out.
On going to bed after long period of sleepless-
ness, the men fell asleep almost Immediately and
slept for long as eleven to twelve hours, instead
OF the usual eight to nine hours of sleep.
THE hands of the men without sleep were found
to be much more unsteady than those who had

accurate movements of the hands are necessary, as
for example, jewellers, machinists and chemists
