Sin to Raise Tobacco,
Think Many Churches

HERSHEY. Pa. June lis the rails
ing of tobacco a sin? That question
pi omises to provoke much discussion at
the annual national conference of the
Church of the Brethren, which will
open here in few days and which will
bring thousands of brethren from all
parts of the country.
At the yearly gathering Of the breth-
rem queries coming from local congre-
cations are presented for general dis
cCssion and final adjudication, and of
this years questions none promises to
excite more spirited argument than that
dealing with Growing OF tobacco.
In their aversion to what they term
''the things of the world" some Of the
members OF the Church OF the Brethren
have regarded unfavorably the use OF
tobacco. The members of the Blue
River church Of northern Indiana have
now gone SO far as to petition the an
nCal meeting Ito prohibit members of
our church from raising tobacco"

To Fight Gas Bombs With
Hyposulphide of Sodium

PARIS, June 1-scientists aiding the
war bureaus have discovered, 1t is be-
lieved, a means whereby the poisonous
gas-filled bombs Of the Germans can
be rendered ineffective.
Representatives OF the British war
office are here now purchasing nun
dreds Of ordinary garden syringes'
such as are used for watering flowers.
With these 1t Is planned to squirt
hyposulphide Of sodium into the air as
the poisonous gases reach the lines
The soldiers are to be supplied with
masks covering the head. soaked In
some chemical coated with glycerlne
to prevent evaporation.
London automobile buses, 1t Is dis,
covered, have shown an unexpected
utility in the treatment of gas victims.
If the victims can be picked up i'm

ing any chances on losing his license.
Four Sanduskians. it developed, were
thirsty in Russle's place and ordered
four beers. One. although twenty-three,
looked as If he might be eighteen. Rus
sic became suspicious and refused to
fill the order.
After a discussion Russle drew from
a drawer back of the bar printed
blank affidavit. The youthful looking
Sanduskian was asked to fill 1t out and
affix his signature. He did, whereupon
a notary public was summoned from
across the street and he was sworn.
The four beers-and more-were then
served.
The affidavit. the Sandusians say. was
carefully placed in a file case with
about 100 others.
