might make different reading TODAY.
For instance. When they first used gas

Another thing that makes me
think they did NOT intend using poison
gas when they began the war is that
they had no proper meteorological
charts Of northern France. If they had
had these necessary charts they would
NOT have wasted so much time and SO
much gas as they did waste. 1t is a
fact that the prevailing winds in
northern France are about - per cent
from a sOutherlv or southeasterly di-
rection This left the Germans only
- per cent Of the time in which they
could use gas as they did to begin
with, relying on the wind to carry it
across the line. Later they devised
guns and mortars, but if they had be-
gun with these methods and had made
gas in sufficient quantity there can be

The French and English as you

cities which were fortified and so be-
came subject to attack under the laws
of war.
I'VE would have had ready in France
for such an attack thousands of tons of
mustard gas. There is not the slight
est doubt in my mind that we could
have wiped out any German city we
pleased TO single out, and probably
several of them within a few hours OF
giving the release signal.
1T was not to be. They capitulated,
and | am sure that very big factor
in that capitulation was the knowledge
they certainly possessed of our gas
preparations. What we We're doing
here was known to the German govern
ment. They knew that when this plant
got into full blast their last hope was
| gone. They knew that if they had been
able to make gas in even half tbs
quantity we could produce here they
would have swept over all France long
ago. If there was any final argument
to help them make up their minds il
| was our gas production.
| I'VE closed down the day the armi-
stice was signed. We had more than
| $500 tons waiting on the piers ready
/
| cheated out of our prey, but we were
content. We felt sure the gas had done
its work, even though most of it still
| lay idle in our dooryard.'
Already the Baltimore plant is being
dismantled. The machinery is beins
! carefully taken apart, oiled and
wrapped and stored away-ready for
the next war should there ever be one

contact with the gas are taken by
means of tongs to the fields and buried.
The gas itself will perhaps be taken
to sea some day and dropped over
board Being heavier than water, it
will settle to the bottom. and if the
fishes do not like it they can move
elsewhere: the sea is wide. There is
nothing else to do with the gas. II
has no commercial value and there is
enough of it if properly liberated, to
kill every human being on the Ameri-
an Continent-on both of them.
Out of the s72,000000 expenditure
there is one bit of salvage. There is a
little fifteenton consignment of brom
benzylcyanide. This is an intense
lacrymator, (tear compeller,) which
has the effect of binding people, but
only for six or eight hours. After the
temporary blindness the afflicted re-
cover their normal eyesight. 1t has
been suggested that this brombenzyl
cyanide might be kept in every police
. station throughout the country in little
; cans with spraying nozzles, for use
against mobs. 1t might be a sort OF
permanent insurance against any
: American eruption of the Bolsheviki; d
merciful and almost painless but quite
effective argument against lawless
force.
Also, in the course of the expert
mental work in the laboratory, tho
chemists there discovered two new ga.
; combinations, as yet unknown to any
one in Europe or Asia and more eff
, fective than phosgene or mustard gas

It is an interesting fact that many
new ideas in banking originated
through the financial difficulties Of
monarchs. Once, in 119 B. c., En-
peror Quit of China discovered that
his finances were in bad shape. So
straitened was the treasury and so
gloomy the outlook that the emperor
summoned his prime minister. This
dignitary was made to understand that
the condition must be remedied forth
with or dire consequences to himself
would result.
AS the prime minister bowed and
scraped his way out of the royal pres
ence q great idea struck him. You
see, II was the custom in this court,
when princes or courtiers had audi
ence with the emperor, to cover their
faces with piece of skin. So the
hard-pressed prime minister conceived
the plan of having a decree issued pro-
viding that for this purpose only the
skin Of a certain white deer kept in
one of the royal parks should be per-
mitted. He put the plan in execution
and the pieces of skin were sold for
high prices, thereby solving the finan-
cial problem.
In this manner the first bank notes
were issued. 1t soon became custom
airy for the mobiles to circulate the
skins among one another, and while
they did not enter into general circu-
lation, the prime minister's ingenious
idea is believed to have constituted
the actual beginning Of paper cur
rency.
The temptation to create money by
the issuing of notes In excessive guam
titles has long been a characteristic
Of potentates. In many countries II
was necessary to deprive the ruler Of
his power to issue money and the right
was bestowed on private institutions.
In 1882 A. d. the emperor of Tartary
made money Of paper and leather to
such an extent that gold and silver fell
into disuse. At one time 1t took 1000
min, or $4,000, In paper money to buy
q cake of rice. This reckless issuing
Of notes eventually placed the money
In such disrepute that In 1856 there
was no trace of II left.
China was no doubt the first coun-
try to use coins. 1t had n system Of
its own as far back as $3.50 b. c. Its
"Pu" money is interesting. These
coins were apparently made before the
Chinese began to write, or before 1t
occurred to them to place on coins
their denominations At any rate,
they adopted the rather laborious plan
OF indicating value by making the coin
In the shape Of the article 1t could
purchase. Thus, they had a knife
coin, consisting Of a regular blade and

How many people know the reason
for the milled edges on coins? 1t was
introduced through the necessity OF
preventing Clipping" and sweating
That gentle art consisted of shaving
the edges of coins 10 obtain the gold
or silver and then passing them OF
for their full face value. Strong laws
against this practice were enacted
from time 10 time, ever since money
was invented. Ii was even treated us
treason and made subject to severe
punishment, but Notwithstanding this
curb persons of good position, and
sometimes high ecclesiastics, were
found guilty. Clipping was at last
stopped by the introduction in 1903
Of milling the edges Of coins. Only
those of higher denominations were
thus treated, and pennies and nickels
10 this day have smooth edges.
To anyone who has delved even
little bit into the subject of money"
the fascination numismatics holds for
coin collectors is readily understand
able. One of the first things man in
vented, money has had long and
interesting history.
Coins as we see them today are the
result of a development more or less
haphazard. An example Of this Is
found in the mark resembling u new
moon which almost every Chinese coin
bears. This originated in an accident
during the time of Empress Wentek,
in GO A. d. The wax model of
proposed coin was presented to her
majesty for approval. In taking hold
Of the model she left the impression
of her thumb nail OH it, and as re-
suit, Ii has been q marked character
istic of Chinese coins for hundreds of
years. 1t was even copied in Japan
and Korea.
The origins of money terms are in
teresting. In go b. c., the Romans,
who had been saved from defeat In
battle by q warning that the Goddess
Juno was supposed to have given, sur
named her 'Moneta" from ''monere"
Ito warm, and erected temple which
they called by this name. Shortly

round handle with hole in the lat
ter, for convenience In stringing the
coins. Later, the blade part was left
off and only the circular handle re-
manned (making its present shape).
Coins were also issued In the shape
Of shirts, hoes, sickles, spades, etc.
Leave II to the Chinese to devise queer
but ridiculously simple makeshifts!
What was often on acute problem In
the East is shown by an act of the
empress of Japan. near the end of the
sixth century. She ordered the bronze
statue of Siaka to be cast into coins
and plaster one erected in its place.
The coinage was continually being up
set by the great absorption of coins to
be cast into Buddhist images. At the
end of the eighth century the scarcity
of copper grew so general that rent
was universally paid in rice.
In Egypt and Babylon copper was
used in bricks, but generally in rings.
1t was employed In this manner in Ire
land down to the twelfth century and
10 sui uoC IL bhC VI AL IVA
The earliest western coinage was eth
er that of Lydia or Pheidon. The
Greeks and the Romans employed
coins.
The Carthagians seemed to possess
a form of currency similar to bank
notes. These notes consisted CT small
pieces of leather in which q substance,
known only to the maker, was
wrapped. 1t was then sealed and is
sued for circulation. These issues
were made only under the authority
of the state.
1t is significant Of the extent to
which money and banking is allied
with progress that in the middle ages
money became practically unknown.
