Dr. Saleeby tells in Sunlight," a journal of Light and

Truth," of the Smoke Abatement Act of last year. To him it seems " a miserable triumph," in that, while it provides for the abatement of factor; smoke, it leaves the problem of the domestic chimney where it was. Dr. Leonard Hill deals with " Ultra Violet Rays " and with the discovery of Vita glass, which admits 75 per cent. of these rays as against 25 per cent. admitted by ordinary glass. Dr. West describes the working of the Princess Mary's " Open Air Hospital for Tuberculosis Children " at Margate, and Dr. Gladstone, in an interesting paper entitled " Sunlight at Sydenham," gives

practical details as to the working and cost of sunlight-cure apparatus at the Sydenham Infant Welfare Centre.
