Sunlight is thought to cause re-
actions among some of the ex-
haust gases. especially hydrocar- bons and oxides of nitrogen. and create some of the unwelcome chemical components.
The greenhouse with exhaust fumes piped inside simulates these natural conditions. Tests to date "show that in a large chamber we can make smog like that in Ina Angelou from auto exhausts." Dr. Goodwin said.
The greenhouse studies are more easily and accurately done here in smog-free Kansas City than Ina Angeles. for there's no natur- ally smoggy air which could enter the greenhouse.
A next step is to learn which elements in the exhaust fumes are worst in causing smog and irrita- tions. A gas present only in small amounts might he worse than an- other creatcd in larger amounts
This kind of knowledge can aid in development. and testing, of da- vices to reduce or eliminate the

On the floor of Parliament or at a rowdy mass meeting. Spank is at his oratorical best. He can turn a crowd of sun Iclous heck- hrs into cheering ant uslaats with a well-placed quip or a brilliant phrase. He is able to switch from the highly emotional in a blast of sarcasm and incisive ridicule.
