A Clean. Comfortable American City

WASHINGTON. May li—Ji‘be sinoke'
plague of American cities has been
conquered by science according to
the statement of Federal experts
who have been studying the prob-
lem for a number of years. They

smoke prevention is possible. but

The Geological Survey has been 911-

periments to increase the efficiency
with which the fuels or the country

smokeless burning of coal and five
per cent. in the other plants.

The experts who had immediate

the SuriIey. and they ba1c Just made
their report which will soon be is

bulletin. Mr Randall makes the
statement that not only can bitumi-
nous coals high in volatile matter
be burned without smoke. but also

fluctuate widely. where boilers ovcr
