CHEMICAL WARE ARE. CHIEF ADDRESSES VISITING CHEMISTS
General Says Nation Guarded Peace Facts With World Powers Regarding Gas
 and Submarines

BriE.-Gen. A. 4. Fries, chief of the army chemical warfare ser vice, which dealt death and de- struction to the imperial German armies in the recent World war, was one of the principal speak CTS of the day before The Ameri- can Chemical society, in general session yesterday.
 The Tutwiler and Southern club were scenes of various divisional meetings throughout the final all- day session. Today a real Southern style barbecue at Bayview mines concludes the Sixty-second annual convention.
 Submarine and gas warfare is not seriously interferred with by the provisions as set forth in the treaties negotiated by representa- lives of the world powers in the recent Washington arms con- ference, declared the chemical warfare chief, provision being made deliberately, he pointed out in the wording of the pacts that peacc-time preparations would not be moIested. contingent upon violation of the clauses apper- taining thereto by parties to the treaties when both gas and sub- marine warfare would then necessarily be resorted to in de- fense.
 |. "This is borne out by the fact that while the provisions of the Versailles treaty were being discussed last Jan uary, the wording was radically changed" said General Fries.
 'sThe faith of the nation cannot be questioned, if it continues the chemical warfare service exactly ns it is now coEstituted,S the general emphasized. 'It is simp- ly a precaution against any other nation breaking its plighted word."
 Other divisional meetings included discussions of municipal sanitation, water and sewerage systems, dye chemistry problems and helpful chem ical' reviews by various learned chem ica1 authorities.

 The whole world is filled with women and little children. and
 It's this successful woman's job 10 see that they are protected.
 No, not with burglar apparatus. mouse traps, guns nor cannons-but with plain life insurance.
 And this means, to Mrs. M. E. Gardner, a constant jogging of mems minds-reminding them when their premiums are due. arranging it so that they can renew their policies. Most people knew the value of life insurance and the necessity of it," Mrs. Gardner explained yester- day, from behind a formidable array of papers, filing apparatus, and 10 dozen other things concerning life insurance, stacked up on her desk. Also they want life insurance. But unless you keep right after them, they'll let policies lapse. and of course the ones who would suffer as a consequence, and in the long run, would be the very ones they loved most"
 Big Responsibility
 Mrs. Gardner made queer little thoughtful tapping upon the desk. T really feel that it is q great responsibility. I guess that's one reason like the work so weil-thcre is SO much chance to do some good in it."
 Mrs. Gardner has been 10 years in the life insurance line, and you can just about find her, morning, noon and night. in her office. She is with Fowlkes & Hogue.
 Lots of folks believe that hard work Is the highroad to success but Mrs. Gardner is positive 1t is. Beyond that, she says;
 You're Paid
 Don't think you are giving your boss too much work for what he pays you. The better work-the more earnest labor-you put across makes
