JUNGLE RAYS CORNER

If we could burn up every bit
of the wood or coal in a stove or
furnace, we should have no dark
smoke. AS it is, most fires send
some of the fuel into the air, and
we call the lost part Smoke"
Smoke which rises from coal or
wood is made up mainly of bits of
carbon. It rises with the warm air
from the fire.
There is more smoke from some
fires than from others. A very hot
fire does not give off so much car
bon as one which is not so hot.
When rubber burns, there is more
smoke than flame. Rubber burns
slowly, makes bad smell and sends
I'D much carbon. A great rubber
factory fire took place some years
ago in Liverpool, England, and
those who went to the fire saw vast
amounts of smoke rising from it.
Crude oil also gives off a large
amount of smoke, as all know who
have watched an oil we'll on fire.
In an oil furnace, however, the oil
is burned in a way which keeps it
from giving out heavy smoke.
Experts have done great deal
of work testing the amount of smoke
set loose in various cities. These
tests have been made at one time
or another during the past Is years,
land have been carried on with care

mace some progress IN cleaning
up" since those facts were found.
Tests on Manhattan Island, the
central part of New York City,
showed the people were losing more
than one-fifth of their sunshine be-
cause of smoke. Other big cities
also lose sunlight because of smoke,
but New York is one of the most
unhappy cases. Besides its loss of
light from smoke, New York has a
loss from the great number of sky
scraper buildings.
The air over cities contains more
dust in winter than in summer.
This is due mainly to home fur
naces which belch smoke from soft
coal in winter.
Factory chimneys have been
blamed a great deal for smoke
filled air, and in some places they
still need blame. We must remem-
ber, however, that private homes
and apartments send up their share,
often more than their share, of
smoke. Unles something is done to
attend to home chimneys, as well
as factory chimneys, we cannot
have really clean cities.

Gov. Davey Pardons Aide
In Political Fund Case
By tat Associated Press.

By tne Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 6.-Ivan
r. Ault, Ohio highway director, con-
victed of violating civil service laws
in soliciting State employees for con-
tributions to the unsuccessful pri-
mary campaign Of Gov. Martin L.
Davey, received a full pardon from
the Governor today.
Gov. Daveys term expires Mon
day. Ault. convicted Wednesday
was fined $500 and given q sus-
pended 60-day Jail term. Seven
teen other Davey supporters are
under indictment on similar charges.
THE two things to which object
In this case" said the Governor in
statement announcing the pardon,
ARE the political nature of the
prosecution and the suddenness with
which a non-enforced law has been
turned against good citizens of Ohio
merely because they happen to have
been friends Of ours"
He said the law prohibiting solicit
tation of contributions from civil
workers had been violated for many
years by both political parties and
compared prosecution on these
charges to establishing "all of q
sudden speed traps" to catch un-
wary mortorists.

In the House, a controversy among
Democratic members was develop
ing over authorizing the committee
to renew its Investigations.
Both Republican and Democratic

Returning to the question OF water

per cent if needed Improvements
over a 15-year period, at an esti-
mated cost of $28 900 900, are to be

The same survey showed that the
Federal Government uses 18 per cent
OF the total water supply, free, with
the District government using per
cent free. The board found that
since the beginning of the water sys-
tenn in 1859. the United States had
provided roughly "a per cent of the
amount invested in the plant. The
local community had put In 30 per
cent through general District taxes
and A per cent through water rents
as consumers.
The Federal Government started
the water system many years ago as
a national project, later made the
District partner in the enterprise.
Then 1t required the District to be-
come principal owner in development

Due to the detection of the first

fact that the skit was rewritten, it

There was no authority for the

claimed extra compensation, he ex-
planned, citing q string of Supreme
Court decisions that ranged from
