His words are being read less and less, his opinions create little excitement as compared to those of last year. In fact Mr. Hoover is slipping from the strong position he has held in Republican ranks throughout the country...

Salt Lake City's smoke problem is especially acute because the city lies in a natural bowl whose rim tends to keep the pall from dispersing. Metallurgical coke and petroleum carbon, supposedly "smokeless," have been tried there without success. The problem can be solved by treating bituminous coal with superheated steam at 1,000 to 1,400° F., driving off the smoke-producing ingredients. Cost of treatment...
