Deadly Chemicals Made
Useful and Harmless

, Importance which has never yet been
done.
In corporation with the depart
ment of agriculture, chemical exper-
iments are being conducted for the
development of new means of de-
stroying animal and bird pests In this
country. Tentative projects have
been outlined for killing gophers,
ground squirrels. blackbirds. and
other pests which do millions Of dol
lars of damage to crops every year.
Chlorine gas. first used by the Ger
mans at Ypres-has been found effi-
cacious in exterminating gophers.
Cooperative projects are under
way to determine what chemical
agents are useful for exterminating
insect pests and to hit upon the best
means for employing them. Several
of the most important war gases have
given great promise Of usefulness in
this direction. Partial success has
been obtained In finding chemical
means of fighting the cotton boil
weevtl. Experiments with gas bombs
to control forest fires in their initial
stages were tried. and the informa-
ton gained has been of benefit to the
forest service.
Fighting Potato Bugs
One use to which chemicals are be-
ing put is in the eradication OF the
blister beetle, commonly called the
potato bug. These insects make their
appearance suddenly, and q reliable
insecticide Is necessary in order to
control them. There are and have
been insecticides on the market for
years. but the chemical warfare ser
vice has experimental along this line
with the idea OF obtaining an even
more reliable means Of combating
this pest and one which could be sold
at a lower price than usually OBJ
tains. II Is officially stated that
valuable results have been obtained
to date from the actual test Of these
chemicals on plants.
For the bureau of standards, the
chemical warfare service Is Coop
Grating to aid in determining the flow
OF gas from natural gas fields through
The medium of great meters. The ap-
paratus of the chemical warfare SER
vice will be used for this purpose.
Chemical means are being used OF
experimental with to destroy locusts
in the Philippine islands rats in the
sugar cane fields OF Hawaii, in the
matter of spraying fruit trees from
airplanes, and In the improvement OF
the oxygen breathing apparatus In
use in mines the world over. One
difficulty with this apparatus has
been to find something impervious to
gasoline vapors. and 1t is believed
that this difficulty soon viii be over
come through the perfection OF
chemically treated cloth.
Another important development,
coming out of the necessity OF de-
vising clothing and materials imper-
vious to mustard gas, has been to
obtain much material of value in de-
termining methods of water -proofing
cloth and leather.
This does not pretend to be sur
vey of all OF the commercial and IN
dustrial uses to which war chemi-
Gals are being put. It Is merely an
outline, necessarily incomplete.

The list OF accusations which the American
Federation OF Labor has made against prohibition
may be as accurate the accusers believe it to be
and still not be effective argument against pro-
hibition. 1t presents but part the worst part
Of the picture. Prohibition may have been followed
by "a general disregard Of the law among all classes
Of people"
1t may have created thousands OF rnoonshiners
among both city and country dwellers.
It may have created an army of booteggers."
1t may have been followed by "an amazing traf1
fic in poisonous and deadly concoctons and drugs"
1t may have brought about IAN increased rate Of
insanity blindness and crime among users OF these
concoctions and drugs"
It may have been followed by ';an amazing traf-
in taxes to city state and national governments
amounting approximately to $1.O0OOOO.OO0 a year."
But we do not think as asserted that 1t is respon-
sble for any increase in unemployment" save in the
ranks Of saIoonkeepers bartenders brewery and dis
tilIery workers and in collateral branches Of the
brewing and dstilling industries.
The chief counts in the foregoing indictment must
be that of responsibility for IAN increased rate
insanity and crime among of these concoctions
and drugs" That we deny.
1t is true that reports come almost daily Of per-
sons fatally poisoned by concocons Of cuor and Of
blindness and of insanity. But the number OF such
fatalities is infinitesimally small IN comparison with
those who poured in a ceaseless procession into
drnkards' graves when the ssloons were open, when
LIQUOR could be purchased in every block. So
rnonpacef had death become because Of the use OF
LIQUOR that we took no more notice of it than we
did of death from disease and age.
But death was not the chief Of the miseries
which the flow Of liquor brought to There was
tba misery and poverty of and children,
whose substance was diverted from them to the sa-
looms thence to the breweries the distilleries the
nalatial homes of their owners and to the comfort
~ their females and their progeny.
There has been in consequence Of prohibition
; leveling spread OF happiness among those who
knew no happiness and those who would have known
none but for the coming Of prohibition.
We may set against this result Of prohibition all
~ incraase in taxes all the new moonshiners and
,oo+ieqgers all those who have died Of wood alcohol
u, ,a weak ones who have been driven drugs and
,,, - ,ou1d have left an incaculable credit TO pro-

Into his own at last

Has come Casey Stengel, out
fielder, clown and popular favorite
in the big leagues for years.
After wandering about the Ma
tional league for years without
drawing due credit for his worth
as a player he has been acclaimed
a real star by Giant players and
fans and appears to be set to grab
off some well earned glory.
After devoting three years in
the minors-which time he spent
with Kansas City. Kankakee, Mays
Vile and Aurora-Stengel broke
into the majors in 1912 with the
Dodgers via the draft route. The
Dodgers released him to Toronto
and that club let him go to Mont
gomery. The Dodgers recalled him
the next season, however, and he
became a regular outfielder., He
played good ball but because of
his propensity to act the clown and
his general easy going way no one
considered him very seriously.
When the Dodgers wanted Ward.
Grimes and Mamaux from the Pr
rates in 1918 they offered Stengel
with Cutshaw for the trio and the
deal went through.
This discouraged Stengel and he
failed to get going. To make mat
tiers worse the Pirates traded him
to Philadelphia. He kicked at that,
quit the team and went home to
Kansas City. The lure of the game
got him though and he finally re-
