The Magic of Chemistry Which Makes Compound
of Value for One Purpose in War
and Another in Peace
(Told in Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. VII
WAR AND PEACE

The art OF warfare is as old as the
race itself. Warfare at first consisted
of throwing stones at the enemy or
hitting him with club
The art slowly progressed. The
catapult was used for hurting good
sized rocks and the bow and arrow
served its purpose in stand-off COM
bats. Thus it went for many CEN
turies. Warfare consisted OF ninety
per cent hand to hand work and per-
haps ten per cent of shooting from a
distance
Along about l345 an old monk found
that gunpowder when properly ignited,
gave vent TO pretty good sized noise.
England and France were at war and
the new invention was tried out at
the battle of Crecy with the result that
the horses became frightened at the
noise like thunder" Losses were heavy
and gunpowder was voted a success.
Warfare didn't advance greatly for
centuries. To be sure many improve
ments in guns and explosives were
made but the basic principle remained
the only way to put an enemy out
OF commission was to hit him with a
projectile.
On the morning of April p, 1915.
warfare was revolutionized when a
cloud of Chlorine gas was sent over
the Allied trenches wiping out whole
regiments. This experiment proved
so successful that the war, opening as
t did, 100 per cent explosive, ended
IS per cent chemical.
These war gases are of particular in

A new party, "The Workers Party
held meeting in New York a few days
ago. If we get the right impression from
whatwa said at the meeting, this new
party is made up of communists with a
sprinkling of reds. These people seem to
believe that the commune should take
possession of all kinds of property and if
anyone refuses to stand and deliver, he
should lose his head at once.
The communists also believe that un-
der what they call a "communistic re-
public" everybody is going to work, but
nobody will work very much. These
cranks are at half way station between
socialism and bolshevism. They are too
radical to remain socialists and. as yet,
too conservative to plunge headlong into
b olshevism, but they are headed that
way.

AN EXPERIMENT

The las t legislature established Game
Sanctuary on the North Belfast road in
the city of Augusta All persons are
forbidden to hunt, pursue, shoot at or
kill any wild animal or any game or other
wild bird within the limits of this Sanct-
uary at any time. Whoever violates
any provision of this Act shall be subject
to a pena ty of not less than ten nor
more than three hundred dollars and
costs, or Imprisonment for sixty days or
both said fine and Imprisonment. The
Sanctuary comprises abous six hundred
acres of land, mostly forest. The Com
mission of Inland Fisheries AMI Game is
authorized TO enlarge the territory of the
Sanctuary upon the written consent of
the owners of the land to be inclued.
There is nothing in this which savors
of State ownership. 1t is an experiment
undertaken at the request of the owners
of the land and OF the citizens of Augusta.
Mr.. James, curator of the State Museum,
has charge of the Sanctuary and there
has been no expense charged up against
it. Mr.. James has made frequent visits
to this preserve and reports that he has
seen numerous flocks of partridge, many
rabbits and some deer, and that already
they are less shy than those in woods
which have been hunted during the last
open season. The partridge and rabbits
will multiply rapidly here and in very
few years thousands of them will have
gone out into forests miles away. Aside
from its prospective value as breeding
place for game, this will be an interest
ing place to visit in ten years from now.
Here will be an opportunity to see native
and most migratory birds at short range
and comparatively unafraid.

Benzyl Benzoate was required for
weather -proohng and freprooting aero
plane wings in the war. 1t now finds
an interesting use in making synthetic
perfumes and synthetic drugs.
Dinitrophenol was supplied to the
French High Commission as an ex-
plosive. In peace time we find it used
in making dyes, including the Ameri-
can new sulphur black This dye is
interesting because it finds wide ap-
plication in dyeing such articles as
hosiery and was one of the dyes that
Germany was confident America
could not make. 1t is gratifying 10
learn from textile manufacturers that
American sulphur black is at least
twenty per cent better than any Ger
man sulphur black they have ever
used.
Chlorine was the first toxic gas
used by the Germans In peace time
1t is used in the publication of water,
the bleaching OF paper and cloths and
IN the manufacture OF great many

Napthalene was used in making our
wartime daylight signal rockets. Now
it is used in making such beautiful
dyes as indigo and orange.
From these few examples it will be
readily seen why it is so simple
matter to convert a dye plant into
wartime production plant and why so
many other industries are directly de-
pendent upon dyes.

Origin Of Big Ace Of Spades

Why the ace of spades is printed
especially large in any pack of play
ing cards is question that goes back
to England for solution.
The first act Of Parliament impos-
ing tax on playing cards provided
that no pack should be sold unless
marked by the stamp office to show
that the duty had been paid, one
stamp being placed on the wrapper
and another on the face Of zone of the
cards"
A god deal of confusion arose, and
as the law was often evaded, later
regulation laid it down that the ace
Of spades should be the duty card,
and it should be printed by the au-
thorites themselves, the makers sup
plying the paper. sheets of 20 aces Of
spades used to be issued by the stamp
office to the manufacturers for a soy
ereign.
il A century later an act lowered the
duty to threepence, and this was paid
on the wrapper to be supplied by the
Office
The manufacturers then, OF course
printed their own ace Of spades, but
the custom of having this card differ
ent from the rest still prevailed, and
the ace was, and is. generally utilized
as an advertisement for the makers
kind of title page, as it were, to the
pack.

most comprehensive manner he ex-

A leading thought which he left
with his hearers was the New York
political situation as the result of
tho recent election. vernon

The increasing conservatism of

upon by Mr.. Thomas. The presence
