Mustard Gas quickly Identlfled.

According to Lord Haldane, mus
tard gas was not known in Europe
before the war, vet As hours after it
was first used by the Germans. Brit
ish chemists had run it to earth. 1t
was not discovered by the Germans
during the war, as has so often been
enormously stated. When Lord Hal
dane was a student at Gottingen, he
often walked round the walls of the
university town and noted the chem
ical laboratory just outside. Profess
sor Meier was in charge, and came
across the gas many years ago. He
recorded the discovery officially, and
two British men Of science remem-
bered the paper he had written and

SAW FUTURE OF ELECTRICITY
Its Widespread Use for Light and
Power Was Confidently Predicted
in the Year 1881.

The American Society of Mechanical
Engineers has just been celebrating
its fortieth anniversary and its jour
nal has dug from its archives the first
presidential address delivered by the
late Robert II. Thurston early in 1881.
The year before had been signalized
by the invention of the Edison carbon
hlament lamp and Doctor Thurston
predicted that for the occasional mild
light of the moon or the yellow sick
ly flare of the gas flame will soon be
substituted the less uncertain and al
ways available, and always beautiful
and mellow, radiance Of the electric
fame"
Within three years there were 40
electric light stations in operation in
this country.
Doctor Thurston saw still farther.
He knew that the wizard of Menlo
Park" was working with problems of
electric power transmission and he
ventured this prophecy:
1.-THE distribution of power by cleo
ricity is not unlikely to prove more
important application of this wonder
full force than is the electric light"
So new are the things we see as the
commonplaces of life. Is there any
thing that is incapable of betterment?
Wen, famous maker Of musical in
struments says that no improvement
has been made in the violin in two
centuries.-From the Nations BUSH

Ford Producing A, 900 Cars a Day

Ford is building cars at full speed,
and, according to an official statement
from the factory at Detroit, the demand
for Ford cars and trucks still exceed
the output, despite the fact that new
high level of production has been
reached.
By the first of May the figures repre-
senting daily production were in the
neighborhood of 1000 a day, as the
NAV schedule was set at 1O1, 125 cars
and trucks, not including the output
of the Ford Canadian plants. The out
put mounted daily; May 18th brought
forth 1892, the greatest number that
have been produced in one day so far
this year.
A comparison of Ford production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses the
fact that April. 1921, the output was
greater by "a. 514 than for the CORES
ponding month of year ago.
Approximately $4,000 men are at
work in the Detroit plant of the Ford
4 Motor Company. The factory-is oper-
ating on full time, six days week and
three shifts day.

State Police Change Quarters To
Laurel

The State police will move then
Prince Georges county substation from
Hyattsville to L aurel.
The removal represents an sachieve-
ment for the women of Laurel, and
shows that the woman usually get
what they go after.
There have been no more enthusias-
tic indorsers of the State police than
the women of Prince Georges county
generally and those of Laurel particu-
lar. The establishing of the substation
at Hyattsville did not suit the Laurel
ladies at all, who felt that their com
munity, more nearly the halfway
point on the Washington-Baltimore
bouleva d, should be the headquarters
for the State police working in that
territory.
That feeling was reflected by a consid-
cradle portion of the male citizens. as
we'll, and in response to that public SEN
timent the mayor and city council of
Laurel looked alb )ut for some way of
overcoming the advantages which
Hyattsville offered in the shape of an
armorY.
The only answer seemed to be the
city hall, and arrangements were ac-
cordingly made with Automobile Com
missioner Baughman. the head of the
State police, to establish substation
in that municipal building where office.

trio lights AMI pa)ne service were Of
fered without charge
The Sheriff of Prince Georges coun-
ty was one of the few who refused to
swear in the State police as his depu-
ties, and he has had occasion to know
that the women of his county do not
approve of his action. At recent
meeting of the Prince Georges County
Federation of Women's Clubs he was
severely criticised for his attitude.
