OMAHA BECOMES A SMOKELESS
CITY.
Omaha is making rapid progress
in its program for a smokeless city
through the enforcement of its new
smoke ordinance. The ordinance
provides that the chief engineer of
the city building department shall be
chief smoke inspector, with as many
deputies as necessary. A smoke
abatement commission, consisting of
two operating engineers, one build-
ing manager, one architect, the smoke
inspector, and one mechanical en-
gineer, inspects heat or power plants
whenever requested.
When an owner of a heat or power
plant desires to make any change or
new addition to his plant, he must
submit plans and specifications to the
smoke inspector for approval. The
ordinance also specifies the clearances
required for setting boilers, size and
height of smokestacks, and that all
portable boilers used for construction
or temporary purposes, such as pile
drivers or steam rollers, shall use
smokeless fuel. The emission of
dense smoke is prohibited except for
a period not to exceed six minutes
in one hour.
The city smoke inspector declares
that conditions are five per cent. bet-
ter than they were three years ago.
Some 85 owners have been induced to
install mechanical stokers or similar
equipment, thus making firing uni-
form and preventing the belching of
dense smoke. The smoke inspector
has found that most smoke is caused
through ignorance of proper firing
methods. He has undertaken to pre-
pare a booklet which will give the
proper methods of firing together
with explanatory charts and dia-
grams. :
The method of checking violations
is to station men on the tallest build-
ings in Omaha for checking the
smoke emission. Cooperation 1s
sought with the owner, and this
method has been so successful that
it has been unnecessary to prosecute
anyone in the two years during which
the ordinance has been in operation.

Protection Given to Flyers Carrying
Mail.
In preparing for night flying in
the air-mail service, four classes of
equipment are used at regular fields
to give the pilot as nearly as pos-
sible the same illumination of the
field at night as is available in day-
light. This is accomplished by a
powerful unit. In addition to the
large field light, all buildings on the
field are flood lighted by smaller
units. The beacon lights are placed
on 53-foot towers and serve to guide |
the pilot and show him the location
of regular and emergency landing
fields. A revolving projection type of
beacon is used. The drum revolves
with a frequency which gives a flash
every “ten seconds: ~“The routing bea-
cons are of two classes, electric and
gas. The electric rotates six times
a minute, and the gas beacons flash
60 times a minute.
keeping the pilot on his course. The
boundaries of all regular and emerg-
ency fields are out-lined with white
electric lights placed 150 to 300 feet
apart.

1928 TOURS GUIDE
FOR MOTORISTS.
Motorists who plan to take a va-
cation tour, this summer, will be in-
terested to know that The Automo-
bile Club of America has just pub-
lished the fourteenth edition of its
annual road book, the 1928 Associat-
ed Tours Guide, which is now ready
for distribution.
The Guide in its one hundred and
twenty-eight pages, contains a wealth
of, useful information for exactly
planning where to go on your vaca-
tion trip and how to get there. Then
motor maps, mileages and itineraries
shown in the Guide, covering the vast
area of the United States east of the
Mississippi and eastern Canada, as
well as the more popular transcon-
tinental and trans-Canadian routes,
afford the motor vacationist a wide
range of touring fields from which to
select.
In all, the Guide gives over one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
miles of the best, hard surfaced high-
ways in the country, especially chos-
en for their charm of scenic outlook,
leading to seaside, mountain and in-
land resorts of rest and recreation.
For motorists who plan a drive of
any considerable distance the com-
plete motor map of the United States
and corresponding itineraries given
in the Guide, will furnish adequate
information for the entire trip. A
large folding map of the entire east-
ern section of the country, bound in
the Guide, is handy for planning a
large scale tour.
A feature of the Guide that motor-
ists are apt to appreciate is that all
itineraries are so arranged as to al-
low for a logical stopping place at
the end of each day’s run, where ac-
commodations for the night in a good
hotel or inn may be found. Both the
National and State Highway num-
bering systems are shown on the
maps and in the routes. There is al-
so given a digest of all the State mo-
tor laws, speed restrictions, license
regulations, ferry schedules, as well
as numerous maps showing how to
enter, leave or avoid them.
Among the tours with large maps
in the Guide are: Adirondack, Cana-
dian-Pacific, Cape Cod, Capitol, Dixie,
Granite State, Maine, Mid-West,
Great Lakes to Gulf, Green Moun-
tain, Lake Land, Ideal, Long Island,
Montreal-Quebee, New Jersey, Post
Road to Boston, Real Tour to the
Berkshires, Scenic, Shenandoah and
Transcontinental.
For the convenience of motorists,
the Guide will be distributed through
local newsdealers in all parts of the
country or may be obtained by re-
mitting fifty cents, to cover cost and
postage, to The Automobile Club of
America, 12 East 53rd Street, New
York City.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Makes
Road Bond Ruling.
Both assist in!
Pennsylvania Supreme Court plac-
ed a limit on road bond issues. In
{an opinion by Chief Justice Von
' Moschzisker he held that with the
| issuance of $100,000,000 of bonds for
| road purposes under the constitution-
| al amendment of 1923 that the power
of ithe legislmtors-and state- officials
{is exhausted and further that with
{ the realization of the full amount
there is nothing in our laws to au-
thorize the re-issue of bonds which
have been purchased by the sinking
fund, cancelled or retired.
The higher court affirmed the ac-
tion of the common pleas court of
Dauphin county which enjoined the
State’s officers from replacing the ex-
tent of $3,000,000 road bonds which
had been purchased by the sinking
fund and paid off. The suit was filed
by William W. Montgomery, Jr., a
taxpayer, against Edward Martin,
Auditor General, and Samuel S. Lew-
is, State Treasurer.
The chief contention of those who
have opposed the proposed $50,000,-
000 road bond issue has been that it
was unnecessary because the high-
way department could re-issue the
bonds already authorized as fast as
they were redeemed. The Supreme
Court decision sets that contention
at rest. If Pennsylvania is to carry
out its ambitious program of road
improvement the passage of the road
bond ‘issue is a prime necessity.
America’s Industrial Gas Use Totals
Monthly 400,000,000 Cubic Feet.
During the last fifteen years the
| use of gas in American industry has!
| steadily increased until at the pres- | 2
! creasing out put per man, is told by
ent time the monthly consumption is
| approximately 400,000,000 cubic feet.
| Gas is used in thousands of manu-
| facturing operations requiring the use
jof heat. There are now 21,000 uses
to which gas is put in industry, ac-
cording to George E. Whitwell, gen-
| eral manager of the Philadelphia
| Company, Pittsburgh.
i In Milwaukee, a gas furnace 190
| feet long treats twenty-five tons of
malleable iron castings each day.
i Syracuse, New York, has a 385-foot
| continuous carburizing furnace, said
ito be the largest of its type in the
: world.
| There are’ twenty-four continuous
! furnaces in a large Toledo, Ohio,
| automobile plant, which consume 60,-
1000,000 cubic feet of gas monthly.
{| The operations of these furnaces in-
i clude annealing, hardening, carbur-
| izing and heating for forging. Num-
{erous automobile plants, includifig
i those of the Ford Motor Company,
i use gas extensively in annealing forg-
ings and castings.

Penn State Alumni to Aid with Bond
Issue.
order. that. . the Pennsylvania
In
to present to voters of the State the
need of the college for additional
buildings, alumni and former students
have started a fund to finance dis-
semination of information concerning
the proposed amendment to the State
constitution that would provide a
$8,000,000 bond issue for the erection
and equipment of college buildings.
This bond issue amendment is to
be presented at the November elec-
tion for the approval of voters, and
alumni are anxious that information
concerning the college building needs
be presented in all sections of the
State. The class of 1903 at its 25th
reunion started the fund and other
reunion classes followed this lead.
The college plans to conduct a quiet
but intensive educational campaign
during the summer and fall. The
State as a whole will benefit through
added facilities at the institution for
the admission of all qualified appli-
cants, and for more research and ex-
tension so greatly needed, which could
be provided through passage of the
bond issue.
Machinery Doing Away with Labor.
How improved methods of produc-
tion ‘deprive many workers of their
jobs in a big copper refining plant
while at the same time largely in-
the Bureau of Labor statistics, Unit-
‘ed States Department of Labor, in
the Monthly Labor Review. :
The copper refining company, which
is not named, furnishes data on its
comparative output and employment
in January, 1918, which was the peak
employment period, and August, 1927.
During this period of nine years, the
number of men employed was reduced
from 578 to 233, while production in-
‘creased approximately 10 per cent.
The company told the Bureau of
Labor statistics that with the con-
| templated improvements not more
‘than 100 men should be needed. The
reduction in working force, it was
stated, included both skilled and un-
skilled labor.
What became of the men who lost
their jobs is not stated.—Internation-
al Labor News Service.
New Ruling for Air Pilots.
More than 100 pilots operating air-
planes under Federal licenses will be
eligible for Pennsylvania State licens-
es without further examination, of-
ficials of the State Aeronautics Com-
mission have announced.
At the same time it was announced
that 13 planes now holding Federal
licenses will be granted State certi-
ficates without further inspection.
The State aviation code drafted by
the Aeronautics Commission becomes
effective ‘July 1.
Under the same ruling the Commis-
sion announced that fifty student pi-
lots who have passed Federal physical
tests also will be recognized.
Qualifications of pilots, ‘equipment
of pldnes and landing fields will be
, covered by the new regulations.
