on. the inspector explains, he will
visit the apartment owner, offer
friendly word of warning. make sug-
gestions as to how to combat the
cause and turn in the evidence for
the files of the Health Department.
If the offense happens again and on
really serious scale. another warning
will be presented. Granted that this
is not needed, the apartment owner
will come up for trial in police court.
Inspector Malone will supply the evi-
dence on behalf of the Health Depart
ment and corporation counsel's Office
will prosecute. Fines range from $40
to Sl00, according to the seriousness
of the offense.
During the late Fall and Winter
months a typical week involves prob
ably not more than two or three
court appearances for each inspector.
Ordinarily the matter can be handled
in an amicable way that is Of ad-
vantage to all parties concerned, For
the truth is, most violations are
neither maEciously planned nor due
to serious causes. Their roots lie
shallow, chiefly in the form of care
lessness, ignorance or both. Improper
stoking methods are responsible in
at least cases out of 10. Such
stoking involves an enormous loss of

An elevator whizzes you to the top

And now the official smoke chasing
formally starts. Unfortunately It's
a dark, dismal day, none too desirable
for long-distance sleuthing. Almost
as bad as that, it is mighty cold up
here. Down below the thermometer
reads so degrees, but up here the wind
blasts through your thin topcoat, eat

at the thought of the amiable Mr..
Malone spending hours at time on
roof-tops in the Winter months.
Despite the bad day the view
strikes you as spectacular. Looking

about it. Virginia SCOT is out of his

cerned, there is plenty to be seen.
There must be at least 300 streamers
scattered throughout the north, west
and east sections of the city. You
can't see the south side at all from
here. The smoke takes innumerable
weird forms under the sudden shift
ing and buffeting of a stiff wind.
You've been up here just three
minutes when Mr.. Malone spots a
violation in the chimney of a small
hotel barely 200 yards to the east.
Out pops his trusty watch, but he
has to use it only five minutes.
Hardly, however, has he completed

denser cloud belches forth in the
near vicinity. This violation lasts
only half a minute. Nevertheless,
the dutiful inspector makes pains
taking record of its duration and
location.

Your official guide very reluctantly
admits that on good day he can
spot a violation as far away as eight

to believe. Probably Mr.. Malone and

the city as we'll as, If not better, than
anybody else. Without a seconds

There's action here, after all! The
demon inspector has taken out his

Right now he's gazing with official in

NEW YORK, April 1.-The most
conservative and high hat opera
company in the world laughed it
self into stitches last night-at
itself and at opera in general. Five
thousand New Workers crowded the
old Metropolitan opera house, pro-
wing that opera in America is not
dead. but in a process Of rebirth.
The hilarious burlesque Of operas
of profundity, regarded by many
as semi-sacred. convinced many
critics that humor would prove the
saving grace OF opera, which has
been under severe economic stress
during the depression. The occasion
was the final performance of the
1934-35 season and the company's S
farewell to Giulio Gatti-Casazza,
who has been general manager for
81 years.
The opera Tosca, for example,
was billed IS Hungry Passions-A
Story Of Love and Lust in Roman
tic Rome-Not for Children" in
the manner OF movie advertise
ments Of coming attractions black
ed out at clAnaxes. Rigoletto was

Four large buildings OF reinforced

house is six stories in height. while
the adjacent structures comprise

the new brewery, declares Presi-

The vast audience, filling every
seat and packed suffocatingly deep
in standing room around the walls
from orchestra pit to family circle,
most of the time was in such an
uproar of mirth that the vocal pro-
ceedings on the stage could be
heard with difficulty.
