harmony, with their surroundings, he
claims. Camouflage as prncticcd in
many cases is accomplished largely by
the use Of paint. objects being given
shades, that blend with the landscape.
In spite of certain difficulties that
would arise, 1t is believed that such
efforts Mt concealment could be rem

Gas May Help Win War.

Our Illuminating gas plants may win
the war for us, according to the Amer
lean Chemical society. These experts
say that the only way Of quickly in
creasing the available supply of toluol
Is to extract 1t from the nations gas.
Toluol is the basis of trinitrotoluol. the
famous British high explosive T. N. Il.
The production in this country is con-
lined largely to by-product coke ovens
and the entire present output is con
tracted for. However, by quick and
energetic action we can secure an i'm
mense supplementary supply of this
vitality necessary substance by treating
Illuminating gas without affecting the
quality Of the gas appreciably.
