Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

THE day Will come when it will not be possible
i for an aviator to chart his course toward city
by noting the dense pail of smoke dust, and fumes
hanging it. The diSfiguring Notwithstanding
umbrellas of smoke which have characterized Aneri-
can cites until now Will begin to disappear from
progressive communities
This is the opinion of H B. Meller head of the
air pollution investigation Of the Mellon Institute Of
Industrial Research of Pittsburgh. Mr.. Meller be-
heves that the period marked by careless disregard
Of the penalties that smoke imposes on human
health comfort and happiness is coming TO end
Science can not longer hold brief OF ex-
pCdienCy unlimited tolerance for uncontrolled air
pollution Mr.. Meller SAYS. Research and engineer
ing have provided the proceSsed fuels the fuelburn
ing and other equipment with which city life can
be pursued in comfortably clean and hygienically
safe air.
A T our command today. Mr.. NIeller says. are i'm
proved boilers and furnaces that will burn
high volatile coal practically SmOkeleSSly SnokeleSS
fuels for others types of boilers and furnaces:
matte Stokers 20 feed the fuel regularly and to burn
1t efficiently; electrical precipitators. mechanical
Separators. and smoke and gas washers to insure
clean stack gases.
With regard to smoke control Mr. Mener believes
that American cities now stand where they did 80
years ago with regard to the publication of water
supplies He looks for vigorous movement through
out the nation for smoke abatement lust as a few
years ago there was one for water publication.
A MUNICIPAL movement for smoke abatement
n must enlist the support Of many groups Mr.
Meller says. Medical men. chemists. engineers
architects. business men. and others all make
their voices heard.
Especially must the interest Of the woman in
the home be enthusiastically enlisted he says The
furnace in the private home is todays largest single
contributor to the urban total of smoke during the
late fail. winter and early spring"
No family escapes the smoke tax in a CITY whose
atmosphere is so polluted There has been no re-
cent estimate of costs in various cities except in the
case Of Chicago. There. 1933-34 survey found the
smoke tax to be 100000 a year

less than the ideal narrator. When Butterfly sud-
denly produced fair sized midget toe dancer in a
blond wig during the course of the second act the
lady I took to the opera exclaimed III genuine sur
prise. How did that happen?" I wasn't certain
whether she wanted to explain to her the plot Of
just the facts Of life.
For all its Italian music and foreign setting,
Madame Butterfly still stems back to John Luther
Iona and David Belasco, and SO William Randolph
Hearst should allow it to remain our native repor-
toire in spite of the exclusion act Puccini gen.
erOus in his excerpts from the star banner and be-
fore butterfly dies she places The ring in the hands
of the child.
AT least that's the way it used to be done Ger
adine Farrar always played it with the child blind
folded and holding up the little American flag as
the curtain fell This butterfly handed the national
emblem to her osprings surrepttouSly close to the
exit and then showed the child of stage.
Possibly under the new dispenSaton OF local price
and patriotism it Will turn out that Pinkerton
wasn't an American naval officer at all. 1t may be
that the story suggests red propaganda and that no
man the American uniform could thus betray
poor butterfly
And I viii agree that in Saturdays version it
seemed most unlikely that the PInkerton could have
done any such a thing. AT least not without getting
his block knocked of.

josephine, Divorced by Napoleon.
THERE are three days at Com
l. piegne, then a magnificent
reception at st. Cloud and the
civil wedding. And the tremen-
dous crowds of Paris, as perhaps
the most pompous wedding parade
ever held passes through the tenn
porarily completed Arc De Tr1-
omphe and the Place De La Con-
corde, where, only II years before
this brides great aunt, Marie An
toinette, had placed her head on
the guillOtine block.
On to the Tuileries and the &C.
cleSiaStical ceremony. Three mag
nificent wedding ceremonieS-and
Compiegne. Surely Marie Louise
and Napoleon are man and wife.
And now Napoleon and Marie
Louise have their wedding trip,
with her mentors, Metternich and
Schwarzenberg, as guests. And such
a wedding trip. Its Splendor as
toniShes the people of Holland
and the low countries. 1t serves

people the master of Europe has a
new strong ally in Austria. Eng
land will notice. The Dutch will
be held in line to enforce the en-
bargoeS against Britain. The news
will get to Russia.
Back to Paris, and more fetes.
Schwarzenberg's embassy becomes
the social center, and for the balls
and parties he builds a huge
wooden pavilion. During the
height of revelry, fire breaks out
in it; quickly consumes it. The
emperor leads Marie Louise to
safety and returns to help others.
Schwarzenberg'S wife is killed, as
are several others. The mourn
ing period ends the honeymoon.
Marie Louise is not particularly
popular with the French people in
her first three months among
them. They find her naughty
and easily embarrassed. She has
no friends other than her imme-
date attendants. But Napoleon
spends day and night in her
company and she grows to depend
upon him.
Napoleon has completely
changed. There are no longer
secret rooms of miStresSes in the
Tuileries. Napoleon no longer
goes to the hunt. He even neg
lects obvious duties. And Marie
Louise writes to her dear papa:
Il am happier than you ever
thought 1 could be. My husband
shows complete love and conf

And then-the moment. The
doctors slap the infant gently, put
a drop of brandy on its lips.
There is life. Napoelon's king Of
Rome is born.
The man who has been acting
just as other men act in the same
situation, rushed to the room
where the notables are waiting.
"One hundred and one cannon
shots" is his news.
For more than II hours, through
the night, Paris had heard Notre
Danes bells. Now it heard the
cannon-20, 81, 22-23. Paris goes
wild.
The crowds sweep on the Tuiler-
les. Guards keep them from
breaking through the gates into
the palace. Napoleon stands at
window, tears in his eyes. His
ambition has carried him to new
zenith. Marie Louise has given
him a Caesar.
Within day the news sweeps
over Europe. The semaphore tele-
graph and the Photograph, reflect
ing the suns rays, carry the glad
news to the large centerS. Special
messengers take it on. Balloons
give the signal to outlying dis
trictS.
Rome and Vienna and Prague,
and the other great centers hold
public demonstrations. Little no.
tice is taken of the event in Lon
don and st. Petersburg.
Napoleon soon was to wish those
capitals had eXulted, too.

the King of Rome. And Marie
Louise writes to her father that
her only thought is Of a son.
Now it is March 10, 1911. A
party has been arranged to honor
the Grand Duke of Wurzburg,
Marie Louise's uncle, arrived to be
present at the birth. The party is
turned into II hours of waiting,
in which Napoleon took charge
much as he would among his
armies.
He orders doctors about. He
is in and out of Marie Louise's
room Of pain. For II hours he
holds her hands and talks with
her. He berates the doctors for
their lack of skill. Worn, even
tually he goes to a bath. One of
the doctors comes to him there.
Marie Louise is in dire danger.

may be the mothers life or the
infants. Which?

you would if you were attending
the wife of a tradesman of Rue
st. Denis"
NAPOLEON returns to Marie
~ Louise'S room, hears her cry,
Because I am an empress, I am
to be sacrificed" He can stand
only little more. He staggers
from the room. The remaining
hours he spends in an adjacent
room, annoying the surgeons and
nurses by frequent messages of
inquiry, orders, pleadings.

rivers and coasts, capturing ships

Communists have entire provinces
in their grasp. Not more than a
quarter of China is even remotely
under Markings control. Floods,
famines and pestilences scourge
the country in unending success
SION
To fight these ills requires
money. China must build roads
train and equip armies. She must
reconstruct almost every depart
ment Of government and rebuild
the country along modern lines.
Yet, just as she needs finances
most, silver leaves the country or
goes into hiding, and the depres-
sion gets a stranglehold on her
economy.
THAT the United States will
change its silver policy to
help China is unlikely.
1--WE do not wish to injure any
friendly nation" said Senator
Thomas of Oklahoma, sponsor of
this country's silver program,
but our primary responsibility is
to our own people"
That Europe will go to Chinas
rescue is scarcely more probable.
Europe has troubles of her own
just now, with no letup in sight.
Only Japan manifests more
than a platonic interest in the
plight OF old Cathay. And she
does not seem to be in a hurry.
She has made it clear to Marking,
however. that if China will cut
loose from the Western powers
and put herself entirely in the
hands of her one real friend, Nip
pom, help will be Forthcoming.
Japan is ready to aid financially
and militarily-for a consider
alton. Reduced to its simplest
terms, the consideration is to per-
NIT Japan to exercise a sort Of
protectorate over virtually the
whole country.
Marking cables indicate that
China is rot willing to pay the
price. Nippon. however, can wait.
Conditions within China are not
improving. Unless outside help
comes soon from some direction,
China may find herself grasping
at straws. Close at hand, Japan

Your Health
: BY DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

DERSONS on relief are getting a better selection
of the right kinds Of food for their health than
are many of us who are free to make up their own
diets
The baskets of food distributed 70 the poor each
month generally contain not only the essential food
requirements in the way of proteins carbohydrates
fats mineral salts and vitamns but they also meet
the varying appetites of he different races
groups of persons
Yet study of food consumed in restaurants
shows that persons buy less of meat, potatoes and
heavy foods, and more of desserts.
Not only do persons relief get whole
some selection of food but they get it according to
their tastes. Furthermore, the mother in each FAM
lily is urged to get as much extra fruit, vegetables
eggs and milk as she
These are necessary for growth and repair OF
tissue, besides providing energy necessary to keep
the body at work.
TN Illinois the relief commission has developed four
standard detaries planned for seven in each
family. These are divided INTO general, southern
Italian and Jewish classifcations
certain amount of spaghetti is included in the
dietary for each group, but macaroni appears only
in the Italian and general diets, and is eliminated
from the southern and Jewish diets. The Italian
group also is allowed much more macaroni as well
as vermiceli.
The general, southern and Jewish diets include
two pounds Of spaghetti a month whereas the Ital-
ian list includes Is pounds of spaghetti month
THE general diet provides quantities of navy
beans, which do not appear in the southern
diet The Jewish list eliminates pork and beans but
does have a good allowance of lima beans More
over the Jewish diet list includes four cans of
dimes, to three in the Italian list and two the
southern list
In contrast tc these allowances, the southern list
includes four pounds of salt pork Salt pork does
not appear at all on any of the other diet lists.
Benefit to nutrition comes not from the foods
that are listed prescribed what is included
in the basket delivered at the door, but from what is
actually eaten. Money spent for food that is not
eaten is of course, wasted.
For this reason. it is necessary to consider the
appetites Of those to whom the food is served.
