Nine.tenths OF the unhappy

They marry and have children
before they do mustaches; they
are the father of twins before
they they are proprietors OF two
pairs OF pants, and the little girls
they marry are old women befor
they are twenty. OCCASIONAL!
one OF these gosIing marriages
turn out all right, but it is a
clear case of luck. Ii there was a
law against young galoots spar
king. and marrying before they
,ut all their teeth, we suppose
the little cusses would evade it il
some way, but there ought to be
a sentiment against it.
1t is time enough for these ban
tams to think OF finding a pullet
when they have raised money Ell

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The most
dangerous kind Of poison gas used by
the Germans is mustard gas" or di-
ro-dlethylsulphide
Mustard gas has a distinctive but not
altogether unpleasant smell, more like
garlic than mustard It is a heavy,
oily liquid. lt boils at PIT degrees cen
tigrade, and thus has properties where
by u can be distributed in the form
OF a spray on the impact OF a shell.
Mustard gas is a powerful producer
OF tears. After several hours the eyes
begin to swell and blister, causing in
tense pain. The nose discharges freely
and severe coughing and vomiting ell
sues.
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 breath
ing and often stupOr.
The damage done by mustard gas is
a slo~ and insidiOus development. The
breaking down OF the affected tissues

Mustard Gas is Most
Horrible of Hun Inventions

Mustard gas besides being used in d.
rect attack is also used for neutral
lzation." 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- by
having food and ammunition cut down.
II the shell hurts as well as neutral
ICES, so much the better. .-.
Mustard gas is employed in shells Of
all calibres up TO 8 inches. In one re-
cent attack lasting as hours the Ger
mans used 1000 tons OF 1t. At Armen-
there's the cutters ran with the horri-
bic red-dish-brown liquid Il has killed
men as far back as ~ miles from the
