GREAT RELIEF IS CLAIMED IN SMOKE FIGHT Nuisance Cut 50 Per Cent in Industrial Area, Says Engineer Buchanan. Rfrs. C. A. James, chairman of the Woman’s Department Club smoke abatement committee, today grimly declined to comment upon a statement of City Combustion Engineer Joseph C. Buchanan that smoke in the industrial district has been cut 60 per cent under last year. “Let the public draw conclusions,” said Mrs. Janies. , The Department Club and other woman’s organizations has been fighting the smoke nuisance for years. Most of the improvements have been accomplished in the industrial area through installation of smokeless heating and power equipment, Buchanan said.
Claims Big Improvement “We have been able to interest a great many firms in smoke abatement because of the economical side of proper combustion,” he said. An average of seven orders to “clean up” is issued every day by the city department. It is estimated that about 950 such orders have been given since March. Short and improper chimneys and inefficient heating plants* are chiefly responsible for the menace in residential districts. Since March about 300 plants have installed smoke eliminators or stokers and 1.307 smokeless furnaces have been installed in dwellings under the department’s supervision. About 650 smokeless oil burners have been placed in operation. Damage High in Thousands Buchanan refused to estimate the damage done in Indianapolis each year by smoke, declaring “it will run into thousands of dollars.” Fuel loss from improper coipbus-

tion is about 45 per cent, causing a tremendous loss each year. Anew type of carburetor, designed for low pressure boilers and warm air furnaces, has been installed on city hall boilers as an experiment. . “The apparatus is theoretically sound, but we wanted to see what it would do on the municipal plant, where we can watch it closely. If it proves satisfactory, it likely will revolutionize the smoke condition of the city,” Buchanan said. Cuts Fuel Cost “It will eliminate smoke and cut the fuel cost, representatives say, but to what extent I am not able to assert until after the test. “It provides for pre-heated air, taking the oxygen over the fuel bed instead of underneath. The device is the most economical apparatus that has been placed on the market," Buchanan said.

When the natives saw a woman garbed in knickers, probably for the first time in island history, they stared wide-eyed, during her visit yesterday. After lunch she and Capt. George Haldeman toured the island, visiting the monument to Don Pedro IV. They saw ancient water wheels grinding corn, and went to the postoffice and cathedral. At 5 p. m. Miss Elder and Haldeman returned to the Lima and watched cattle being loaded, preparatory to sailing. Ruth Says She Wept Bil United Pres*' AONTA DEL GADA, Azores, Oct. 20.—Ruth Elder confessed today that she did something besides laugh and say “Thanks” when she was yanked from a yawning ocean grave after her Atlantic flight. “I cried,” the girl flier told the United Press, “but only over my lovely plane. I could not help it when I saw her sink into the water. “I expect to try another trans-

RAP THROTTLE ' ON JNDUSTRY U. S. Business Regulation Draws C. of C. Frowns. Uu United Press WEST BADEN, Ind., Oct. 20. The convention of national coun"cillors of the Chamber of Commerce closed here with an appeal for American business to take a firm stand against creation of Government bureaus, boards and commissions affecting industry . A resolution adopted by the delegates declared business must take a' militant stand on the premise that “once Government has protected life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, its next duty is to maintain American prosperity by securing to industry its native independence.” During its meeting here the convention passed resolutions which outlined the stand business will take on legislative matters before Congress. In accordance with these, the business men will be pledged to support a $400,000,000 tax reduction, legislation to bring about flood prevention and a revision of postal rates. The convention opposed Government ownership of the merchant marine, approved the bringing about a closer relationship between business and agriculture, and challenged the tactics of France in tariff bargaining with the United States. A sound development of commercial aviation was urged. It was suggested air lines deserved support of business. The business men also will unite in trying to stimulate greater interest in national elections. It takes five bushels of grain, the yield of a quarter of an acre, to make one sack of flour.
