Nearly every delegate voted in favor of them. The- veterans declared their action was not political, but in accord with their policy for 100 per cent Americanism. They said they were opposed to engaging in any entangling alliances and were unwilling to sacrifice any degree of Americanism for the sake of the league of nations. There were loud cries of "No, No," when a resolution was read proposing the consolidation of the G. A. It., the Spanish war veterans and the American Legion. The resolution was referred to a committee, and delegates said it would be voted down. By unanimous vote, a resolution was adopted declaring that "The Grand Army of the Republic shall live as long as one comrade remains upon this earth." $500 IS ASKED FOR WAYNE WAR HISTORY Efforts to obtain an appropriation of ?500 from the county commissioners for a history of Wayne county's part in the world war are under way.

Smoke-Laden Air Raises Death Rate in Cities An old proverb, says that where there's smoke there's fire, and if we put "disease" in place of "fire," the ' proverb is equally true. Where is the death rate highest? In manufacturing , towns. Yet it is in these towns where I sanitation is at its best. What is it ; then, wmcn Keeps tne aeatn rate so j high if not the smoke laden atmos1 phere, which not only vitiates the air, jbut cuts off two-fifths of the light? The amount of solid matter poured j into the air chimneys is almost unbelievable, and if we town dwellers could see our own lungs, we should be startled. They show that for years we have breathed impure, smoke laden i air. Indeed, lung complaints are dissipat ed and cured by clean, pure air even if it be icy cold, and consumption is said to be unknown in the Arctic Circle; yet we know that there are twice as many deaths from lung maladies in urban as in rural districts. The factor which makes this startling difference Is the smoke. Surely this is one of the main argument for sweeping away the wasteful and dirty
