What Our Chemists Can Do From the Omaha Bee

Recent events have taught Americans modesty, if not humility when 1t comes to talking about war. The cultured na- tions of Europe have shown us such won derful ways of obliterating whole armies, of permanently altering the landscape, of overwhelming crowded cities and de- molishing stately vessels, that we have lost some of our national cockiness. How ever, here comes some sustenance for our self-respect direct from meeting of chemists at San Francisco. In closing the session of gas Congress one of the experts pointed out taht anything the Europeans may have achieved is also pos sible for the Americans. Nay, more; he said that by the time war could be declared on us. and the fighting actually commenced some of the processes now being exploited, such as the use of clorine gas, would be obsolete. Instead of that crude, coarse method of asphyxiating soldiers, we may have our choice be- tween arsenuretted hydrogen. plain or combined with hydrocyanic acid, the ef- feet of which would be to do away with any invading force as completely as was the army of Sennacherib,s when -'the Death Angel breathed in the face of the foe as he passed"
 Thus is the genius of American sci- ence and the fruits of American re- search brought to the relief of any ap- prehension that might have been slowly consuming the over-anxious pub lie.

WINDOW DRESSERS HAVE FINE TIME AT
 REGULAR MEETING
Demonstration Night" at Chamber of Commerce is HugeSuccess-Excellent
 Musical Programme

One of the most enjoyable and interest ing meetings yet held by the local branch of the International Association of Dis play Men was held in the Chamber of Commerce building last night at 8 clock. More than % members attended Every minute was taken up with enter tainment features and interesting talks and demonstrations.
 The meeting last night was what is known as demonstration night. The local organization meets bi-monthly. The meetings held on the first of each month are for the purpose of demonstrating the art of decorating to the members, and of fering any suggestions which may be beneficial. The meeting in the middle of each month is called a knockers meet ing and is one of the most unique ideas originated by any branch of the International Association of Display Men. The entire membership meets at given point on Knockers night" and pays visit to every window in the city. If the window is good they compliment the decorator. If it is not, he is told about 1t. If he gets mad he is stuck for the drinks for the whole crowd. One of the members of the organization was asked what kind of drinks. He replied that the town was dry and he couldn't speak for publication
 An excellent musical programme was arranged by the members of the organi- zation. Each selection and the accom- panying music was played by a member O a hrnn oh fV1nI Nff fho Birmingham Ledger gave a short talk on the merits of the decorators in Birming- ham. Cooper Lawley gave vocal solo, which was excellent. Abe Williams spoke 10 minutes to the elation of the crowd, on the deep subject of That Noise" The speaker amply demonstrated his ca pacity as 8 noise-maker and caused many a laugh. Harry w. Hoile of Love- man, Joseph & Loeb gave an interest ing talk on the art of draping. He draped living model demonstrating the va- rious stages of successful draping. His artistic method in this line was enthu- siastically received by the members. A duet of merit was sung by Lawley and Monroe. The most interesting feature of the meeting was a practical demonstra- tion of the air brush by Sam Friedman of J. Blach & Son. A number of beau tiful cards were colored, ready for the window, with the exception of the let tering, by the air brush method which is quite new in the window decorating line.
 Views of the prize winning windows at the recent meeting of the International Association of Display Men held in New York at the Waldorf-Astoria were shown on the screen, Two. local men, Harry w. Hoile and Sam Friedman, re- ceived prizes at this convention. MT. Hoile received one first prize. MT Friedman received one first prize and four second prizes.
 The meeting was presided over by John Freeman of the Burger Dry Goods

company. Not a moment dragged and the affair was conceded to be the most successful meeting ever held by the To- cal branch. Samuel Friedman, in speaking of the work being done by the local organization, said.
 We are glad to see that we really have live crowd of capable experts in the window decorating line. We only wish every decorator in this city would come In with us. It is true that we have most of them. but there is no reason why we should not have a full membership. Birmingham can be proud of the fact that she has some of the best window artists in the south here. We have a good time at these meetings and some time we learn trick from the other fellow that is beneficial to all of us.r

Canada's Share of the War From the Monetary Times.


 A year of war has cost Canada $90,- 100000. It is costing Canada $500, ,0O0 a day The total war expenditure up to July 31, or practically 12 months after war was declared on Au- gust last year, was $S1.500,000. The ratio of expense is going up all the time as the dominion places more and more troops in the field. Almost the whole expenditure is military in char acter. The pay of the troops alone costs little less than $100,000 per day.
 Of the $90.000.000 which constitutes the total expense of the war so far, $50,000. 900 was voted at the special Au- gust session of Parliament last year and $4O,OOO,000 came out of the war appropriation of $100.000.O0O made at the last session. and which is being borrowed in England.

What Strawstack Is Worth

From the Kansas City Star.
 It has been fully demonstrated that the straw produced on 20 acres of aver age wheat has value of $50 to $75, when spread on the land. in it's fer tilizing value alone, to say nothing of the advantageous effect of the straw as a source of humus The ashes left after burning have mineral value of less than $5 in a straw stack from 20 acres of average wheat, even if the ashes are saved and spread over the land to the best advantage
