The numerous commercial uses of
modified forms of tear gas de-
veloped by the service are just be-
ginning to be understood. Some oil
these are in connection with the
fumigation of ships with hydrocyanic
acid, protecting banks from attack
by bandits, mail trains from train
robbers, in dispensing mobs and in
forcing criminals out of barricaded
buildings.
Tear gas causes the victims, to
cry, and, depending upon the strength
of the solution, renders him tempo
rarily helpless, but without lasting
effect.
The Police Departments at Chicago,
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have
been particularly active in the use
of tear gas in their work. The tear
gas apparatus used by banks con-
sists of a small container resembling
steam valve, which is attached to
the teller's cage near the teller's foot.
pistol is Intellectual in the hands
of "stick-up" man when strong
charge of tear gas is discharged in
his face.
A recent demonstration made by
Chemical Warfare Service officers
with a small tear gas cannon that
resembles rapid6ring gun showed
that the gas can be made effective
at distance of half mile. An
other way to use the gas is In a
patent handbag handle, which re-
leases charge of gas when the bag

mixtures in as low as one-siyth the
time necessary for air or nitrogen
oxygen mixtures. In fact. the sub
stitution Of helium for the nitrogen
ordinarily present in normal air has
been found to result in an atmosphere
which is as breathable as that pro
vided by nature
Another important research is in
determining the hazards to pedestrians
from automobile exhausts when var
ious chemical substances are used to
pep up" the gas. Ethyl gasoline is
one of these substances used as an
anti-knock fuel, but experiments with
animals under the worst possible con
ditions have shown that there is no
danger to pedestrians through inhal-
ing these exhaust gases.
The nations of the world were Just
beginning TO learn the deadly uses of
warfare chemicals and gases when the
world war fortunately came TO an end.
Now, nearly seven years after the
signing of the armistice, science is
beginning to learn the more con
structive uses Of these substances in
peacetime activities

an experiment to protect orchards
from frost damage by laying smoke
screens over the trees. A fleet of
planes at the first warning of frost
can cover miles of orchards in short
order.
The development of airplane appara-
tus with which to spray fields and
orchards with insecticides has been
an important part of the work of the
Chemical Warfare Service. One type
OF apparatus consists of a metal hop
per, through the trap bottom of which
the poison dusts are fed, the chemicals
being blown over the crops by the
propellers of the plane.
Spraying crops from airplanes is
extremely hazardous work. The
planes must fly close to the ground
and the slightest mishap means GER
tain death for the pilots and their
assistants. Yet the advantages in
saving time and the more effective
distribution of the poisons are such
that several airplarle companies have
found 1t profitable to undertake such
work for farmers, on a commercial
basis.
In busting cotton it is necessary to
do the work at night, when the dew
is on the cotton, so that the poison
will adhere to the cotton leaves Mo-
some sections to obviate this night
work, but in numerous cases a high
mortality among honey bees, which,
In eating the molasses, also consume
the poison, has resulted.
In busting the plants from air
planes the dust is broken up into fine
particles, which readily adhere to the
leaves, and thus make it possible to
do the work during daylight hours
1t is pointed out, also, that one plane
operating four hours a day can take
care of as much area for the season
as at least 40 cart busting machines
having the greatest acreage capacity
of any machines now used in cotton
busting.
The development of smoke screens
and means for producing them has
been held out as an outSta nding ac-
complishment of the service. Smoke
candles have been developed which in
two minutes throw out a dense cloud
that hangs in the air for Is minutes
1t is considered that If the smoke
clouds from airplanes, can be made
to hang in orchards during the crit
ical frost hours during the night tre-

the Bureau of Mines experiment sta
ton at Pittsburgh show that this
substance, when mixed with oxygen,
forms respirable atmosphere similar
to normal air.
Use of the helium-oXyen mixtures
materially reduces the time of de-
compression process by which divers
and compressed air workers are re-
stored to normal air conditions after
finishing their work. thus minimizing
the hazard of compressed air illness
or caisson disease to which these
workers are subject.
Compressed air illness, or caisson
disease, is due to too rapid lower
ing of air pressure after exposure to
high pressures for a period of time,
causing the nitrogen to form bubbles
in the body tissues. These bubbles
are most dangerous if formed in the
spinal cord and brain, where they
may cause paralysis or even death.

the junk heap through certain
necessary repairs, the possibility of
its being as good as new is al
ways just a few steps ahead of
the repair jobs and keeps gaining
as the owner keeps spending.
Proofs of Depreciation.
If there were no other proofs
of this one would merely have to
consider the amount of damage to
the finish, the upholstery, and the
trimmings of car during the
process of repairing the things that
are damaged or thrown out of ad-
justment through repairs.
The motorist who wants to get
flying start on this depreciation
business has only. to keep in mind
that his job is to keep the car
out of the shop. Not to stint the
car any attention 1t needs, but to
see that it is so well cared for
that it does not need to be torn
down in the hopeless task of MAX
ing 1t as good as it was.
A car is as good as new so
long as it's owner doesn't fool him
self into believing that he can
effect a complete restoration at
will. They never come back!

General Sales Manager. 7 aIks
at Annual Luncheon Of

One hundred and fifty Buick
dealers and sales managers ATTENDED
the annual sales luncheon at the
Franklin Square Hotel yesterday.

of buick. Motor Company, was the
guest of the Washington branch,
and the chief speaker. Mr.. Strong
who has been on an extensive trip

find the farm income shows a ma
terial gain over last year. The
cotton crop will probably reach
$50, 900 bales. compared with 22S,00O
bales last year. and although the
price is lower than last year
the aggregate income from cotton
will he several million dollars more.
Check transactions in Memphis,
which is the banking center. shows
an increase of about 20 per cent for
November over October. Department
store purchases in Memphis, Chatta-
no6ga, Knoxville, and Nashville are
now equal to or greater than year
ago. Arkansas his q big cotton
crop and the outlook for that State
is excellent. The lumber industry
of Arkansas is steadily improving
and general business conditions
would indicate that this would rank
aiming the best the coming year.
The Mississippi cotton crop is
very big, and as So per cent OF this
States income is from cotton the
prospects are very good. Farm in
come in Georgia shows nearly so
per cent gain over last year. Corn
shows a gain Of II per cent and
tobacco shows % per cent over last
year
Atlanta, which is one of the
greatest cities of the South, is in q
very prosperous condition. Building
operations in Atlanta for October
were over 800 per cent greater than
for the same month last year. Postal
savings receipts are also greater.
II find the South more than
keeping pace with the general Inn
proyenfents in conditions which I
found in my recent trips to the
Middle West and East, and my pre-
dietion is that the Buick factory
will be kept busy in the coming
months in order to meet the demand
for cars which will rapidly increase
as spring approaches.
