Tunnicli?? of Chicago, a woman said to know more about smokestacks and what comes out of them than any -non-technical person in the country.ON SMOKE LINEFor 15 years she has been on the trail of Chicago's smoke line fighting ever to eliminate the dark clouds that a ray of sunshine might peep through and smile on the utopian . town that the aesthetic in her craves.. Equipped with' a badge, smile and plenty of common sense, Miss ; Tunnlcliff’s self-imposed obligation carries ■ her to ' skyscraper posts at points of vantage about the city, and there from the pinna-dles she trains her glasses on the -belching' barrages.. She is a dollar-a-year woman serving for the civic love of the thing against a common smudge foe which she considers the enemy of .good health, wealth and municipal morale.4weiones!

Citizen and his one-lunged furnace. “ -coals with fresh fuel. Use the alternate method or the conical one.“In the alternate method, coal is replenished on the far side of the grate the first time and the front left filled with red-hot embers. Don’t cover these embers. The next time put coal in the? front er.d of the grate and allow the red-hot embers to remain uncovered in the rear. *What Hats to Wear andWhat Hats Not to Wemakes it difficult for her to wear her hair bobbed.A HAT must do more than look attractive in a shop window.It, must match the head and figure of the girl or., woman or 'tis better that it stay in the shop window, says L. Maude Finley, fashion expert at the Kansas State .Agriculture College..'She,has made a study of faces and hats and has designated what kinds of hat should fitTeach kind of. face. . ,The .women with the. perfect face and form, who can wear almost any kind of attractive hat and look well, are comparatively few, and Miss Finley, lias three classes of women whose faces are not- perfect..-KEEP THEM RED“.When . firing by' • the conical method fresh - fuel is heaped in tho center and on top of the burning embers,, but the‘red-hot coals are not all covered. Leave a good circular.;’fringe of fire uncovered all around the freshly h.eaped-up coal.’ “If people would only do this.much of . -the .• smoke ' nuisance would be abated.“Repeat over and over: T must come away from, my furndee with red-hot coals still uncovered.. ■ Iwill not cover ail the . red-hot coals.1“The reason is simple. When red:hot coals are left exposed they coke the fresh fuel.

Furs are very becoming for this type, -.because they make a soft frame for the face.“All women want their hats to he distinctive, out of the ordinary, and becoming to an unusual degree, but how few of them know that this effect is secured by trying to .bring, the 'appear*ance of the face and head as near to the average as possible?”period, only 99,09S persons died of other major infectious diseases.From 1314. to 1909, 15 per cent more persons died from the Infectious diseases than from respiratory diseases.

However, on this point there is a divergence of opinion*Diseases which are affected by city smog include pneumonia, influenza-and acute bronchitis, and Dr. Bundeseen points out that it is significant that the highest pneumonia death rate in the country is in the “Smoky City”—Pittsburg, Pa.
