THIS WAR OF SCIENCE-TRINI.
TROTOLUOL.

This explosive of the long name
commonly called T. N. T., showed
the kind of job it could DO at Hall
fax. Some of us have been hoping to
see our forces drown an equal amount
Of it over those German trenches.
The war department asks for %,
100000 gallons of this material fol-
use by September, 1918. TO build
the coke oven retorts necessary tc
produce it independently will take a
year. But it can be recovered from
the products of Illuminating gas
plants. Recovery plants for this pur-
pose can be built in a few months
This explosive will be life saver
1t will provide barrage fire of crush
ing force Delivered in advance of a
charge by the troops, it will annihi-
late the enemy defense.
The chief obstacle appears to be
the long time needed to build plants
for production of this material. There
has been some difference of opinion
with gas companies about compensa
ton for the cost of what they pro
duce. Some of the public service com
missions have also made the point
that the extraction of these elements
from gas reduces the quality of the
Illuminating fluid.
We must get out this explosive al
any cost, and the needs of daily life
will have to be set aside. Few con
sumers will complain about qualit!
! of gas after they are told that some
of its constituents are needed for wal
work. The gas companies should ant
no doubt will gladly cooperate. L
would be most short sighted policy
for any of them to take advantage O
this need in grasping way; an.
company that did would find that the
| public will attend to its case later
This is no time for haggling over tri
fling differences in terms.

WINNING THE WAR-ARMY MO
RALE.

1t is the plan of our army officers
to keep a close watch over the tenn
per and spirits of the individual sol
der. This plan has been found inval-
liable in the British army for keeping
up courage. 1t is realized that an ar
my is only as strong as the feeling
of the individual man.
"Hows Bill today?" asks the lieu
tenant of the corporal.
20, we'll, so so; pretty we'll down
in the dumps. "
What's the matter?"
"Ain't heard from home in a
month
No wonder the man is blue. Some
one is appointed to Investigate the
non-delivery of mail. If there is, a
hitch it is remedied as quickly as
possible.
Or more likely it appears that the
home folks are writing blue letters
In that case word is sent home to ask
some one, perhaps the minister, priest,
the Y. M. G.. A. man or an army of
Gcer, to see Bills people. The wife or
mother is teld that she must stop
writing discouraging letters. She
must give the boy some support. Blue
letters undermine the spirit Of the
army. The homefolks brace, con-
pretty soon along comes some cheer
full words Bill takes a brace, con-
cludes chat he isn't dead yet, and is
ready TO carry on" The whole squad
feels better.
We who stay at home all have our
part to play. We have our own battle
of lonliness and anxiety to fight, but
the boy at the front must not realize
that.

you will have only handful OF peo-
pie. 1t may be for a good cause, but
it is no ones business to work for it,
and people don't hear of it.
Even if they do hear about it, if it
isn't pushed and advertised, they get
it into their heads that it does not
amount to much. Anything has to
create noise and stir before people be-
lieve it is worth attention The great
success of the Liberty Bond, Red
Cross and Y. NJ C. A. campaigns
has proved that. These were put ov-
err by campaigns of advertising such
as the world never saw before.
1t is the same in business. If it
isn't well advertised, people say 1t
is a. small concern that can't afford
to spend any money to get more. Or
they will argue that the store lacks
confidence in its goods or prices. SO
they walk right by it every day and
never come in.
The moment a place begins to ad-
vertise, that moment people wake up
to it. '1Guess x must be doing
something, the way he pushes Il"
they say. Then they come around to
see what's doing.
