ing racks" of wood strips so put together
as to form rows of compartments or cells,
each accommodating one. caterpillar.
! The rows of cells are covered with strips
of transparent celluloid, through which the
transformations Of the ,caterpillars into
pupae and. finally moths can be rwatched.S,As
record Of observations for each caterpillar
is kept, BY the help Of a reference number
at the top Of its compartment. The moth
is brownish gray, with a wing spread Of
three quarters of IN inch. At rest on the
bark Of an apple tree, it is hardly dis
tingdishable toA the eye. The female lays
her eggs on apples, one here and another
there, and the %caterpillars Matched from
them bore into the fruit, eating it as they
grow and de6ling it ina manner unhappily
too familiar. In late summer or early fall
the full grown worms leave the apples and
seek c~oncealment in holes or cracks in the
trees, or under the bark, spinning tough
silken cocoons in which to pass the winter.
Many of them, still resident in the apples,
are carried with the latter to storage houses,
where they spin their cocoons in boxes,
barrels or bins. In spring they transform
into moths, which fly to the orchards, thus
completing the cycle.
Elderly people can today remember Z
time when nearly every apple offered for
sale hadNone or more worm holes. Usually
1t was the caterpillar Of the cooling moth
that was responsible for the mischief. Now.

Late Developments
in Poison Gas

CINCE the war all the great Powers have
~ been hard at work on the gas problem.
For it seems to be fully recognized that IN
future in international conflicts poison gas
will be the chief killer.
To the. everyday psaceahtc citizen this
idea is particularly Interesting, inasmuch
as it is expected that cities and towns will
be systematically ,deluged with gas. dropped
in bombs from airplanes. Whole popula-
tions-men, women and children-win be
wiped out. The rule against killing nom
combatants no longer holds.
Gas operations during thu recent war were
crude and hardly more than experimental.
Next time they will be conducted on a huge
scale, scientifically, and with chemicals in
comparably more destructive to human life.
/, Soon after this new and frightful weapon
came came into use, it was realized that what was
really needed was a gas that would be in.
visible and %odorless, SO as to give no warning
Of its presence, in the atmosphere. 1t must,
of course, be heavier than air, SO as to sink
into dugouts and cellars, where refuge might
be sought, and there remain, as it were, in
pools. In addition, to be wholly satisfac-
tory, it must poison the human system by
mere contact with the skin. so that gas
masks would furnish no protection.
Our own chemical warfare service was
working hard on this problem during the.
war, and solved it. A gas called "Lewisitc''
was developed which met all of the above
mentioned. requirements, and great quanti-
ties of it were being manufactured for use in
the expected campaign of 1919, when sud-
denly the armistice cameH
A gas bomb is a mere %container its walls
only thick enough to hold the fluid chemical |;
hence nearly all Of it's weight is represented
by it's contents. A single such gravity pro-
iectile may carry 500 or 1000 pounds-of the
lethal stuff, and if dropped upon a town
it cannot miss the target. 1t is estimated
that a dozen Lewisite bombs of large. size
might, with a ~favoring breeze, destroy the
entire population Of a big city.
1t is understood that since the armisticc
the chemical warfare service has produced
n gas that is even more effective than Lew
isite, inasmuch as its spread is far greater
relatively to the quantity of chemical used
A mere capsule of it in a'small grenade can
generate acres of death.
Facts such as these cannot be made toe
widely known or impressed too strongly upon
peoples minds in order that fear and horror
of war may become so great that nations will
no longer undertake that criminal method Of
settling their quarrels.

Make Your Smiles Pay.

The value of the smile in business
has been receiving more or less con-
sideration among the live business
men of Northwestern America. 1t is
recalled that an interesting story was
published last year of smiler's club
organized in one of the town of the
Canadian northwest Smiles went on
duty at their places Of business, the
greeting of a smile to acquaintance
on the street, perhaps some visitor
made up the creed Of this club. 1t
is needless to say that kindly, fair
treatment of everyone was expected
to 60 along with a smile. The latter
was looked upon as winning intro
duction 10 the former. Besides the
plesantness the clubs creed gave to
life it was seriously argured that it
represented the result of thought Of
the cool, calculating business man.
Recently this announcement came from
Sioux City, La:
"Appreciating the value of the
smile in business and in their efforts
to have "smile battery" greet the
customers at their store, the T. S.
Martin Company of this city have ap-
pointed smile inspector. The store
publication has this to say on the sub
ject: No one Graves to pay money to

Inspector on the job now-look pleas
ant every day in March,.
This may appear at first a very
simple thing to do to attract busi-
mes, though few Will deny that it is
helpful in the way sought But it is
rot as easy as it might at first thought
appear. It is a matter Of training as
much as disposition. Children OF
some households are wisely taught to
extend a smiling greeting to those
they meet. We venture that few so
taught fail to find it substantial as
set in the search for success and hap
piness in life. Other parents never
think of it. Their children 60 untraiu-
ed and in childhood as well as in
adult life suffer loss from it. This
old world has been needing all the
smiles it could get for some time and
maybe the need is. not at the worst
yet. Scatter your smiles, capitalize
them, as teaches the Iowa business
firm. Smile every day in the year.
No one loves crouch.

LORENZ MAY QUIT
Famous ChiIdren's Surgeon An
nounces Return to Austria.
AntagOnism by American Doc
tors Has Discouraged Him.

New York, Dec. S.-Dr. Adolph
Lorenz, famous Austrian surgeon, an
nounced Wednesday that IN view of
opposition to his professional activities
in this country from the medical pro-
fession he would discontinue further
free clinics and return to Vienna as
soon as possible.
He made the announcement at the
office of Health Commissioner Cope
land, where he went to examine sew
enty-fiVe crippled children. Doctor
Lorenz explained his decision in the
following statement:
In view of the widespread and
great opposition to my professional
activities in this country from the
ranks of the medical profession, which
1 had hoped to conciliate, feel must
discontinue all my plans and return
to my beloved Vienna. harbor no
malice against the American profess
sion, and hope they will soon recon-
slider and accept the proffered hand
of friendship with the Austrian breth-
rem. If once the ice is broken the
current will do the rest, and in the
near future reconciliation must take
place anyhow
First, my great mission was to
thank the American people for all
they have done for the starving chill
dren of Vienna. 1 do not fail in this.
My endeavors to conciliate the pro-
fession failed. L made superhuman
efforts. l tried in vain, I am sorry"
DIR. Lorenz. however, did not dis
appoint the cripples who had gathered
at DIR. Copelands office seeking his
aid. He went thru with the examina-
tions. diagnosing and addressing
modes Of treatment for the little I'M
fortunates, which will be carried out
~ 4 -ffzera a.
One of the first examined was
Marion Bird, seven, niece of Father
Francis Duffy, heroic chaplain of the
old 69th regiment. When he was
asked to comment on DR.. Lorenz's re-
ception in this country, Father Duffy
said:
"A surgeon and a chaplain have
duties that lie outside of the strange
animo sities of war"
When DR.. Lorenz stopped to rest
and sip some tea, DR.. Copeland said to
him:
izen We call damn fools Don't be
disturbed by them. What you have
done here this morning makes it
worth while for you to have come 10
this country. Don't be disturbed; go
on with your work
Take the rank and file of the pro-
fess-on, and think you will find they
are keen about you work. Don't be
fooled by the damn fools.'"
Doctor Lorenz replied:
Il have done what / could with a
clear conscience ant a good heart. I
will continue if God assists me"
Doctor Copeland pleaded with the
surgeon to give up his decision to re-
turn to Vienna. A moment later when
asked whether he would change his
mind and continue working in this
country Doctor Lorenz said: 81
