and, il the navy desires IL, / per cent. of
The navy appropriation, and we believe that
We can do as much to guarantee American
success in war as could be had with % per
cent. spent In any other way.
I'VE have developed two new gases that
may play tremendous part in warfare.
One Is q new cloud gas, transmitted from
toxic smoke candles. The old type of cloud
gas required the burying Of cylinders in
deep trenches. requiring the work of many
men for many days in order to prepare an
attack, This method is obsolete. The mod
ern method Is to heat solid The solid
gas, contained in a simple holder re-
sembling squat, old-fashioned lantern, is
released when a fuse is lighted. 1t Is safe
and fool proof IL may be crushed, mashed
or punctured with bullets without harm
being done TO the person holding II. These
candles may be very light or very heavy.
They are so small as to be carried In a
knapsack or so large as 10 require the
efforts of many men. They are thus suited
to the navy, the Air Service, the cavalry,
infantry vi speclhl EaS troops. Cl0uu EhS
attacks are highly efficient and by the new
method can he launched at any time day
Or night, that the wind is right.
"The other new thing Is LIQUID gas, the
effect Of which is to cause burns that are
severe and difficult to heal. If three drops
of this gas be absorbed into the skin 1t
will cause death in most cases. while lesser
quantities down TO n tenth Of drop will
put every man touched in the hospital This
gas and tho common mustard gas which
burns the skin, can be sprnkled from air
The New York herald., 1921-05-08

fired in shells when the wind was adverse.
"Chlor-acetophenone carbolic acid and
acetc acid is tear gas. Nearness 10 the
mere edge of its smoke causes blindness
from excessive tears It goes into shells
and is spread by heat This is the gas that
will be used in the future to break up mobs
and il should be n tremendous asset to
every police department. Mobs are helpless
when they can't see. We are at work now
upon a substance even more powerful than
the tear gas developed by the war. At all
times we conduct warfare among our
selves in the Chemical Warfare Service.
We do our best to find gas that cannot
be stopped by our most modern masks and
clothing When we find that we invent
new masks and new clothing. then look for
a more penetrative gas. Ii is like the old
contest of the burglar and the safe manu-
facturer
"Phosgene is liquid gus that volatizes
almost instantly II irritates the lungs
very severely and produces symptoms that
are familiar to doctors in pneumonia cases.
In treating sufferers the same methods are
used, indeed, as are used in treating pneu-
monia patients.
'Lewisite. a new gas, discovered by Pro-
fessor Lewis of Northwestern University,
resembles mustard gas, but Is more power
ful In burning qualities. IL volatilzes even
more quickly. We are just beginning to
produce IL and 1t will undoubtedly play
large part In the next war.
"Brombenzyl-c cyanide, liquid and another
form OF tear gas, Is very persistent and
volatilizes MS slowly as mustard gas II
forces the wearing Of masks without much
expenditure of ammunition.
s"These are some of the principal gases
that we are constantly experimenting with,

To be certain Of the dreadfut weapons they
viii be In future wars. What we are after

masses of men and without the slightest
warning of its coming If that gas is found
and | believe we shall find it, il is impos-
sibe to see how an army could stand
against IL. With that gas conveyed in
motor truck cylinders resembling the oil
trucks of common use, no fleet could even
approach near TO our coast, no army near
our borders. Imagine its possibilities in
offensive warfare Even with the small
soda water cylinders they used, the Ger.
mans were able TO serd gas fifteen or
twenty miles
Chemical Warfare Service and poison
gases have great and valuable uses in peace
We are working with the farmer and the
fruit grower. as well MS with the army and
the navy. We are preparing plans and
methods To eradicate plaques by destroying
rats and other carriers. We are looking
for n method to attack the boil weevi. We
are working on gases 10 kill the insect pests
of fruit trees and To attack locusts in the
Philippines We have made many discov-
cries In our chemical laboratories that will
aid agriculture and industry.
''It Is all natural development carried
on by mans ingenuity under stress. In
the beginning wars were won by the side
that had the greatest amount of Drawn.
The Staying Of Goliath by David Is the first
recorded instance of the use of science In
n conflict The stampeding OF Hannibals
death-dealing elephants with naring tar
dipped arrows was another example Of an
Innovation in war. The first use of gun
powder revolutionized warfare and COM
pleted the rout Of the steel clad knight tnat
was begun at Crecy by the English long
bowmen. And the first use of gas In the
world war would probably have ended the
conflict In 1915 If the Germans had but
taken advantage of the situation their gas
attack created.

When men must don masks for working or

again the value of gas in warfare Is

From study of this data she affirms that the
modern American girl is an inch or an inch
and tenth taller than her sister of thirty
years ago. also that women weigh several
pounds more, and again that they are physi-
cally stronger
The changes which DR.. Mosher views as
improvements are in the earlier years of the
girls life and not due to a system of gym
nastcs carried on in the college course,

DIR. Mosher ascribes the upward trend of
the feminine physique to two things, the
irst being that the clothes women wear now
interfere less with growth than those their
mothers wore. and the second cause is, she
thinks, the greater popularity of sports and
greater physical activity among young
women.
AS girls enter college nowadays at an age
younger than preceding students in the
thirty years survey, this helps, DR. Mosher
thinks, to show the Importance Of increase

first year. 1t proved such success that
it is now operated Independently under the
joint auspices of fifteen women's organiza-
tions. all Interested In promoting better
health among self-supportng and other girls
and women.
"The Improvement in individual cases Is
very marked Stunted girls can almost be
seen to spring up several inches and all of
the young women who are regular in their
gymnastic work show improved health.
While 1t is still too early to say that these
centres of exercise are going to make big
ger women, although think they will in
time 1t is perfectly legitimate to claim that
they have already made new and stronger
women. This will have, must have, won
derful effect on coming generations"
