POISON GAS MADE

Utilization of War Horror Be-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Poison-
Gus gas, perhaps the most terrible
and most dreaded Of all wartime
weapons, is being utilized as a peace
time asset to combat the boil weevil
nemesis Of cotton planters, and other
civic and Industrial pests.
Since the World war chemical re-
search work has gone forward with
rapid strides, resulting in the de-
velopment o. many new chemical
gases and other chemical products.
The war department now plans to
use these gases in, the determination

THE developments Of war must be

Gen. Amos A. Fries, chief Of chem
ical warfare OF the army. Accord
ingly, the chemical warfare service
has begun a campaign to develop
gases that will attack and extermi-
nate not only the rats that infest
sewers, but the bugs and worms that
eat up the leaves and fruits OF vari-
Gus agricultural products"
Chemical warfare has already
been proven effective against the
rodents and other pests that are a
menace to humanity. Recently a
group of experts were sent TO Cuba
by the army with chemicals and
other istruments for destroying rats
and other vermin, and the results of
their efforts was reported to have
been highly satisfactory.
More Tests Asked.
Already requests are coming IN,
through congress- for further expert
ments in various cities of the United
States in waging war on similar pests.
To cooperate in every possible way
with the efforts Of wartime forces
in peace-time work against rodents
and other pests the war department
has requested the department OF ag-
riculture and the department Of the
interior for any suggestions they may
desire to make. Both departments,
II is understood, are working on the
new problems, and concerted action
is expected IN wiping out the rodents
