Another AntIaas Invention.

"NeutraliZing ointment" Is one Of
the latest war inventions. 1t is pub
licly revealed In an official descrip
ton of the protective devices against
gas attacks. now being issued to our
troops.
The mask, with its contained chem
icals for neutrallzing any poisonous
fumes that creep in, Is familiar. But
one so-called gas is a liquid, and be-
cause of it's blistering effect the SOL
diers have given 1t the name mustard
gas"
When an area is drenched with
this stuff the menace may persist for
many days. The peril is not from the
liquid itself. Mustard gas burns
through the clothing, and makes pain
full wounds where the flesh is reached.
The newly invented ointment must ap-
parently be rubbed all over the body,
as well as on face and hands, to pro-
tect the soldier when the enemy's
bursting shells are spraying this hor-
rible liquid gas about.-Providence

URGES USE OF BOTH HANDS
French Authority Points Out the Value
Of Ambidexterity and Its Need
of Cultivation.

France, in her earnest efforts to re-
habilitate herself, has come to the wise
conclusion that a child-a man or
woman of the near future-who can
use either hand with equal facility is
almost twice as useful to the state
as "right-handed" or '1eft-handed'
person.
The Paris correspondent of the Jour-
nal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION writes Of the attempt to en-
courage ambidexterity in French chill
dren.
"At the recent meeting of the Acad-
emie de Medicine Doctor Armaingaud
pointed out the loss-military, civil
and econOmic-which results from an
artificial disability imposed on young
children, and therefore On adults, in
allowing them to use only their right
hand, so that the left hand is used
only as an auxiliary to the right.
Speaking from a military point of
view, Armaingaud called attention to
the statement made by General Baden
OWCl " Lie cllCCl thut tO OhO NOuAN
doubt the value of ambidexterity. If
both hands were used equally by
everybody instead Of being used only
occasionally, or by few persons, as
is the case today, the strength of the
army would be increased notably.
"At this time, when the population
Of France is decimated by tuberculo-
sis and alcoholism, and when the ex-
cess of births over deaths is less each
year, 1t is not a matter of Indifference
to permit the population of France to
continue what may be called physio-
logic mutilation, one which may be
made to disappear at will.
"Armaingaud proposed to the acad-
envy ~ to issue an appeal to the peo-
pie of France, asking that the mothers,
In the interest of the nation and in the
interest of defense Of the country,
teach their children from the first to
use both hands equally; (2) to request
the minister of public instruction to
make the equal use Of both hands OBJ
ligatory In all the primary and second
airy schools; (S) to urge the founda-
ton of prize to be awarded annually
to the teacher in France who has been
most successful in carrying out this
most desirable reform"

HIGH ON SCROLL OF FAME
10 Written the Name Of Frank Luke,
One Of the Best Of American
Air Fighters.

What Lieutenant Luke, famous
American aviator, would, and often
did. attempt was Illustrated by his last
fight. Starting out alone to attack
three "drachens," or observation bal
looms, he had seen behind the German
lines in front Of verdun, he was inter
cepted by ten enemy machines. He
engaged them all, got two of them, and
escaped the others by seeming him
self to be disabled. His fall" was
from directly over the balloons, and be-
fore they could be lowered OF protect
ed he shot all three of them in flames.
But then Luke disappeared, and what
became Of him was not known until
after the arnistice.
When the allies entered the village
Of Murvaux the rest Of the story was
learned from the peasants. The Amer
lean had been forced by wounds or the
disablement Of his machine to descend
but he did not land until he had used
his machine gun to the extent Of kill
ing eleven Of the many German SOL
diers stationed there. Then he alight-
ed safely in a nearby field and was
seen to quit his machine and start for
a little stream as If to get water. Ger
man soldiers ran up, and either by
them or by shot from further away
he was killed. The German officer in
command kicked the body and ordered
that no one touch 1t. There 1t lay till
the next morning, when the villagers
we're allowed to take 1t, uncovered, In
a cart, to their cemetery and bury 1t.
So ended Frank Luke az the age of
20. He had lived much, If not long,
and down in Phoenix, Ariz., where he
was born, they are justly proud of
him. He does not lack appreciation
elsewhere, for Captain Rickenbacker
says: Had he lived he would have put
me out of business long ago as Ameri-
cas- leading ace. wouldn't have had
a show against him."

sATAN's THRONE IN BERLIN
Not, However, the Seat Of the kalser's
Authority, as One Might Rea
sonably Suppose.

In order to understand where the
throne of Satan came from and how
it came to Berlin, 1t is necessary to
open the pages Of ancient history and
renew our acquaintance with Perga-
num-
Pergamum (Pergamos or Pergamon)
was the ancient capital of Mysia. In
Asia Minor. 1t was about three miles
north of the Caucus river and fifteen
or twenty miles from the Aegean sea.
Under the Greek rule of Attalus
(241-197 B. g. 1t became not only a
powerful city but also the center of
the artistic and literary life of Asia.
Attalus built many wonderful
temples, affairs and monuments that
attracted the attention of the entire
world. His son Eumenes II (197-159
b. CO carried on the policy of his IA
ther. He founded the famous Perga-
mum library, which contained 100000
volumes. This library was later re-
moved to Egypt by Antony and pre-
sented by him to Cleopatra.
%AttUAuo Al
and the kingdom of which Pergamum
was the capital to Rome, and so, at
his death, in 1873 B. c., 1t became a
Roman province. This was the first
Roman province on Asiatic soil.
Carl Human, civil engineer, who
had Travelled in Asia Minor, induced
the Berlin museum to fit out an expe-
dition to excavate for the hidden
treasures Of ancient Pergamum. In
1885, at the close of the third cam
paign, Human and q friend named
Come unearthed the great altar and
the site of the library. Subsequent
expeditions uncovered many treasures.
The great altar was shipped, piece
by piece, to Berlin and regretted In
the Kaiser Friedrich museum. A few
parts of 1t are In Constantinople.
However, the central and main por-
ton of Satan's throne is in Berlin.
With the throne of Satan in Berlin
1t Is not difficult to understand the
military ambitions and actions Of the

spring, while the borers are hiding in
such material. Infested plants may
also be disposed of when practicable
by feeding them to live stock or by
burying them In q manure or compost
heap. 1t should be clearly understood
that each and every plant likely to be
Infested must be destroyed. This In
cludes the stubble and upper part of
the roots. Occasionally plants or parts
of plants which may seem hardly
worth the trouble to clean up are like
ly to harbor enough borers to give rise,
by the end of the season, to as many
insects as were present before the
cleanup operations began.
Burning Most Effective.
Complete burning is undoubtedly the
most effective and cheapest method
known for the destruction of infested
material, especially during the late
fall, winter and spring, when the vege-
tation is dead and dry. 1t may be nee
essary to sprinkle the plants with oil
or to use other fuel to secure complete
combustion. Where 1t is possible and
safe to use running fire in destroying
infested plants, this is the quickest
means.
fH some cases, particularly In that
Of corn, the infestation may be con-
trolled by feeding the grain to five
stock either directly from the field or
as ensilage. From the economic stand.
point this is the best possible means of
destruction. In some infested districts
it is common for the owners of dairy
cows to collect fodder from the sweet
corn paintings of the market gardens
as well as from home gardens after
the crop has been harvested. Where
fodder Is fed green 1t should be run
through a shredder or cutting machine
before it is given to the live stock, as
this process greatly reduces the
chances that any Of the borers con-
tanned therein viii survive.
The practice Of blowing under in
Tested material Is not recommended,
because blowing, even when carefully
~ enough to prevent the borers from
making their way to the surface, and
few stalks may remain exposed.
Experiments In applying arsenical
poisons to the surface of corn plants
have shown that large numbers Of the
bOrers may be poisoned In this manner
during the early stages. At this period
they feed TO a slight extent on the
surface of the plants, especially on the
leaf plants. 1t was found impossible,
however, to protect the plants entirely
In this manner, as the number of Dor
ers not killed by the poison was suf-
ficient to damage the stalks and ears
severely. The cost of applying these
pCisons is prohibitive. because several
applications are necessary, and the
method is not recommended.

Use Of Chemical Products.

The interest in chemistry and chem
zeal products has greatly increased
in the United States owing to the fact
that this country has been forced by
the war to depend upon its own re-
sources in this direction. The follow
ing uses are ascribed to these chem
ical products: In making soap and
paper pulp, mercerizing cotton and
purifying mineral oils, caustic soda is
used; soda ash is necessary in the
manufacture of soap and Nglass; sill
cate of soda DIETER known as water
glass; Is utilized In the manufacture
of soap and in dyeing and printing cal
leo, finishing cotton goods preventing
wool rot, bleaching jute and preserv-
ing eggs.

Memorial to orea, Naval p..d.

We're 1t possible for the British peo-
pie to forget that greatly daring naval
deed Of the war known by the unin-
spring title of the Zeebrugge raid, the
present movement on foot to commem-
crate 1t will assure for It perpetual
fame. Happily the initiative has been
taken by the city of Bruges, so there
Is not the slightest element of vain
glory in the idea Of memorial to be
erected on suitable site within few
yards of the spot where the blockships
Intrepid and Iphigenla were success
fully sunk. The actual sinking of
these vessels for the purpose of pre-
venting the German submarines using
the canal to Bruges. was rendered pos
sible only by the gallantry of the at
tack made by the old cruiser vindic-
tive. which was afterward sunk across
the fairway Mt Ostend. Standing on
an elevation, the monument will be
visible far out to sea.-Christian Sci

ut is planned to increase the num-
Der of allotments from 100000 to
100000 by the next planting season.
At the present time there is only about
one allotment to every ten or twelve
families, but by taking advantage of
a large amount of land that has been
growing up in weeds it is hoped to
have this up to one allotment for ev-

now, several cases where there is a
plot for every three, and in one or
two cases every two households"
