cuRB1NG POISON GAG

Because Of an increase in the appro-
priation for poison gas over and above
what was recommended there has been
q feeling that this country, regardless
nj its part in the negotiation of the
treaty among the nations relative to the
use Of poison gas in warfare that this
meant that such an agreement was to
be ignored
Perhaps such an inference was plaus-
ible were It known that other countries
had not as yet ratified the treaty and
were making elaborate gas preparations.
Such a situation would indicate that
his country, while opposed to poison gas
warfare, was taking good care not to
Je caught mapping. The treaty was for
he purpose of getting action among the
eading nations in opposition to poison
gas, and that is the result hoped for
following ratification, but it doesn't
mean the end Of experimentation with
poison gas in connection with such use
as maSN be forced upon US in case Of
war.
1t remained for us to take the lead in
suggesting the reduction Of the navies
and the ending of the ruinous cempe-
tition. It was our privilege to indicate
ie the other nations that we were pre-
nared to comply Immediately with the
treaty requirements, and now by the
announcement of Secretary of Wal
Weeks it is made clear that we are not
going to continue to pile up resources

infinitely nobler even than the philoso-

WEARING our YOUR WELCOME

Some of those who use public proper
ty, some who call upon others for as
sistance and some who think they owe
no responsibility to others, regardless
of the trouble they make, give no
thought to the fact that they are wear
ing out their welcome and making it
next to impossible for others to enjoy
privileges and get Accommodations.
How this wearing out of welcome
can be FASTENED is set forth by the To-
ledo Blade to picnickers thusly:
When you eat your lunch by the road
side do not forget to strew the papers
around and leave the egg shells in a
conspicuous spot.
If you see any fruit growing within
easy reach Of the road help yourself.
In robbing an orchard or looting a
garden always break a few branches or
tra,Rple down the material You don't
carry away. Z
When you borrow bucket for fill
ing your radiator with water throw the
bucket On the roadside.
A few banana skins left on the steps
of the country schools helps to speed
the day when picniekers will be driven
away from such places with a shotgun
Ask for directions as to roads and
then say something to your companions
about these country hicks"
In passing a country church, on Sun
day blow your horn like mischief.
If you build fire never put It out.
Breaking down fences helps the cause
along tremendously, while every little
disrespect to rural property is a boost.
Perhaps if you haven't done any o.
these things you have seen or heard
about others doing them. For the goot
OF rscnickers and those who like tx
roam the country there is much colder
advice in this set of rules.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Aircraft Accidents

Mr. Editor: The prominence watch is

emphasizes the urgent need for public
expression demanding the immediate en-
actment of federal legislation regulating

Within the last few weeks a number of

noted in your paper, but we wish to
point out that regret alone will not rem
