MUSTARD GAS WORST

Direct contact with the spray causes
blistering of the skin, and the vapor
penetrates through the clothing. Gas
masks. of course, do not protect
against this. The symptoms are similar
to pneumonia - high fever, heavy
breathing and often stupor.
The damage done by mustard gas is
a slow and insidious development. The
breaking down OF the affected tissues
Is slow, the height being reached from
five to ten days after the burn is re-
ceived. The painlessness is also a
marked characteristic. Healing is
slow.
Mustard gas besides being used in
direct attack, is also used for "neutra-
lization." For instance, where supplies
and ammunition are being brought up.
a few mustard gas shells will result
in dangerous confusion and delay. A
part Of the infantry Is "neutralized"

found Of far greater value in the air

THE DEEPER CAUSES OF THE WAR

9 ONE first-hand information on the underlying
- causes of the present word-war is promised
to the people of Cedar City and locality in the
course Of lectures to be delivered by Mr.. H. II.
Powers, Phi. d., of Newton, Mass, at the b. A. c.,
as a special number of the Lyceum Course Mr..
Powers is a close student of diplomatic problems
of nations and has spent considerable part of his
life among the European countries now at war.
He contends that the present war was not caused
by the intrigues Of diplomats or the viii of mon
archs, or even by the scheming of military caste.
He says it is due to a situation which has been
slowly produced by forces always active and of
which even the peoples most affected were but
partially conscious
In his first lecture to be given Monday night,
Mr.. Powers will discuss Serva and Austria the
local problem"
And on the succeeding nights of his lecture
course he will talk on Russa-her manifest desti-
ny and the menace from the West; Germany and
her place in the SUM-" The Latin Allies and
their grievance; Brtain--the supreme struggle
and its meaning.
Naturally it is hard to get clear and unbiased
understanding Of the great war and its causes
and it appears probable, and the reputation of the
speaker is n guarantee, that a lot of reliable in
formation on the subject can be obtained by at
tending Mr. Powers course of lectures.

JUST AN EXAMPLE

A N object lesson in the Importance of good
roads to country, and prticularly to the
rural districts where there are no electrical nor
steam railroads, is afforded by the changed con-
ditions already effected by grading the road be-
tween this place and Beaver, aided, of course by
the advent Of the automobile 1t does not require
much Of a stretch of memory to recall when to
cover the distance between Cedar and Beaver over
the existing roads or series of chuck-holes was
a very big undertaking for team and buggy.
The distance is 81 miles. Last evening num-
Der of cars left Cedar during the afternoon, some
as late four o'clock; the inmates witnessed he
basket ball game between the b. A. c. and the
Willard Academy and most of them returned in
time to obtain good portion of a nights sleep,
some arriving here before l o'clock, a. M Several
of the cars covered the distance each way in two
hours. Only three or four years ago four hours
was the best time made between the two cities by
automobile. Thus, while we have progressed be-
yond the simple earth grade only in few spots.
we have at that succeeded in cutting the time in
half. With either a good surfaced or a cement
road this time could be still further reduced and
that without the building of railroad
There has been considerable agitation for a
good cement road right down through the State
from Logan to st. George, and to our way of think
ing that is one of the very best investments that
the State of Utah and the various counties effected
could make. Let's decide on the through cement
highway. Then we will have something perma-
nent and monument to the enterprise and bust
ness forethought of the state.

FRIDAY, MAR. I, 1918.
SIGNS OF SPRING

NJ NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the wea-
Their is cold just at present, there are many
evidences of the approach of spring, not the least
prominent of which is the unusual amount of po-
etry, or rhyme, that has been finding its way into
our Office of late The poetic maady seems to
have become epidemic and quite serious. 1t is
not infrequently accompanied with such synip
toms as nausea, chat tired feeling" ard in some
rare instances has been suggestive of hydrophoba.
Thus what in some cases may be viewed
desirable and intellectual accomplishment in 9th
instances is really dangerous maady.
Some of the poetry(? that has reached The
Record Office this spring and winter has as many
legs a centipede its feet not mates, and its
rythm resembles the music eminating from saw
factory. OF course, this random reference does
not mean YOUR contribution, but is intended for
that miserable "doggerel' that Bill Jones sent in.
But jokes aside, there lot of good-mean-
ing people, who mistage enthusiasm and in some
real patriotism for poetry, and in attempting
to give expression to their feelings and sentiments
in verse, place the publisher in a very embarras-
sing position, as he must either lay himself open
to the criticism Of educated people, he must in
cur the dspleasure of the authors, who feel that
they have been sighted In such cases we some
times have to publish it as prose, and sometimes
consgn it to the waste-basket.
We truly admire clever and meritorious po-
etry, having the two qualities of wit, point and
proper rhyme and meter, and we have received
some very clever stansas; but everyone who can
discover two words in the English language that
resemble eachother in sound is not necessarily a
poet We cannot all be poets any more than we
can all be great musicians, and unless one is fairly
sure of ones self it is far better to trust to prose
as a conveyor Of thought than to attempt any
fancy flights into the poetica clouds, until one has
learned the difference between the planes and the
propeller blades of his air craft.
