Attack
DR. Army has chosen thirty-si7
IL widely different chemicals

DR. Army has chosen thirty six
- widely different chemicals,
whose only point Of resemblance is
that they are all light-SenSitive. A
sample of each one has been placed
in a pyrex tube. Pyrex is less af-
fected by chemicals than any Or
binary glass, according to DR.. Army.
These tubes have in turn. been
placed in seven different types of
bottles, three types of green, one of
blue, two of amber, and one color
less. This limits the test, it will be
seen, to the action of sunlight and
eliminates differences due to reac-
tons with various types of glass.
In addition, more than 1000 speci-
mems Of light-sensitive chemicals
are being subject to the direct &C.
ton Of sunlight. Another set of 300
is being exposed on shelves near a
glass window, thus duplicating the
condition in the average store.
Chemical tests will be made of
this material at frequent intervals,
the whole research extending over a
year.
Summarizing the plan of attack.
DR.. Army says: "By this method we
hope to tell manufacturers of phar-
maceuticals, of chemicals and of
bottles exactly what type of bottle
is best suited for the storage of
each chemical studied.
I'VE hope to give definite opin-
ions as to whether deterioration,
wherever observed, is due to the ac-
ton of light or whether some other
factor such as alkalinity of the
glass container or the influence of
air, produces the undesired change.
And lastly, we hope, in those
cases where light is proved clearly
to be the destructive factor, to dis
cover in each case the appropriate
'stabilizer,' that appropriate chemi-
cal trace of which may aid the
medicament in resisting the un-
toward action of light rays"

edly the horse was honest. Nobody
ever heard him making any claims
or boasts about his racing skill. But
after all the business in hand was
speed and not general sociability.

The Speaker Obstructs

It seems rather too bad that Speaker Longworth
can not let the spirit of the law rather than the
letter rule him so far his judgment on the Ship
steadNolan superior national forest bill is concerned
This bill passed the senate by unanimous consent,
and it would pass the house the same way, excepting
for the objections of man, Representative Pit
tenger of Duluth.
Granting that Pittenger is sincere in his demands
for certain amendments to this bill before he will let
pass over his live body his attitude is serving only
to delay the bills passage until next December.
Once given consideration, it will pass.
The Nolan bill is the same as the Shipstead bils
and if the speaker so would rule it would have a
privileged status and would be taken up and passed
by the house immediately

Sensitive
THESE changes are due in some

THESE changes are due in some
l. cases to contact with the air,
DR.. Army says. Changes of this sort
are somewhat similar to the rusting
Of iron.
In other cases, chemical action
goes on between the glass Of the
bottle and the substance contained
within the bottle. In this latter
case, the remedy lies in changing
to different sort of glass for the
bottle.
But the most bothersome changes
are those caused by the action of
daylight, and especially, direct sum
shine. These changes might be
compared to the fading of wallpaper
and rugs brought about by sunshine.
Chemicals and medicines which
behave in this fashion now are
known as light-Sensitive chemicals.
A list of 423 such chemicals is found
in the official pharmacopoeia.
1.-THE mischievous effect of light
on medicaments is more annoying
than serious" DR.. Army says.
1T is true that when white crys-
tails Of Santonin turn yellow, the
decompoSed product has been known
to produce dangerously irritating
effects.
I'm most cases, however, the de-
terioration either lessons the medi-
cinal value of the product or is an
noying either from the psychologi-
cal or esthetic standpoint.
Hence both manufacturers and
retail pharmacists endeavor to les
sen such light changes in the medi-
cines they produce or dispense. This
explains the use of blue or amber
glass bottles.
"This is why the labels on bottles
Of certain staple chemicals bear the

THE INVESTIGATORS.

A widespread feeling akin to disgust is
being engendered in the public mind by the
investigation mania now affecting the Unit
ed States Senate. This does not mean that
groups or individuals which are against the
general welfare, but some of the methods
employed by the Investigators are becom-
ing tiresome.
Witnesses appearing before the inquisi-
torial committees are frequently subjected
to browbeating, abuse and insinuations in
an effort to furnish sensational material for
press reports which has little if any bearing
on the matter at issue. Many of these in
vestigations are pervaded with an atmos-
phere of hypocrisy which is readily sensed
by every fair-minded person.
The truth is that Senatorial investiga-
tons are generally inspired by political and
selfish motives. Even in cases where an in
vestigation might be- necessary and proper,
any possible good that could accrue to the
public is often largely nullified by the mani
fest spirit of malice and unfariness which
characterizes the procedure of the inquiring
tribunal.
And when all is said and done, about the
only tangible result of Senatorial invest
cation is a nice, juicy expense bill which the
taxpayers must settle.

JUDGING OTHERS

1t is trite to say that in judging the
character and motives of another person we
should try to imagine ourselves in his place.
But how many of us do it? How many of us
make conscious and determined effort to
be fair in our estimate of the other fellow !?
In recent article DR.. Glenn Frank
quoted an unknown author who has set forth
some thoughts in this connection which are
worth repeating, as follows:
when the other fellow acts that way,
he is ugly; when you do, it is nerves.
when the other fellow is set in his
way, he's obstinate; when you are, it is firm
ness.
when the other fellow treats someone
especially well, he is toadying; when you do
it's tact.
"When the other fellow picks flaw,
he's cranky; when you do, you are discrimin-
ating
when the other fellow takes his time,
he is dead slow; when you do you are DELHI
crate
when the other fellow says what he
thinks, he is spiteful; when you do, you are
frank, and so on
1t is really hard to apply to ourselves
the same yardstick which we use in measur-
ing our neighbor. But we ought to try and
do it.

CHEMICALS IN NEXT WAR

The next war, if one should unhappily
involve the great nations. will be fought
largely with chemicals, according to those
who have given study to the development of
deadly gases which would be available for
military purposes.
A recent publication said to be of au-
thoritative authorship declares that while 30
asphxyiating gases were known at the be-
ginning of the World War, there are now
more than 1000, including many varieties of
clustering gases, coughing gases, sneezing
gases, tear gases and suffocating smoke
Fumes heavier than air might be spread
over wide areas, where they would linger for
days, killing everything within their deadly
embrace. By means of such gases dropped
from airplanes whole cities might be wiped
out in short order.
A recent writer sees in these horrible
possibilities a hope for peace, on the theory
that in future statesmen who consider re-
sorting to war will be restrained from doing
so by the certain knowledge that these awful
means of destruction would be brought into
play to destroy women and children as well
as fighting men.
That these means would be used, in
spite of all the treaties that might be made,
cannot be doubted. Necessity has no law
and this is especially true of necessity in
time of war. Therefore, great nation
which goes to war in the future must be will
ing to subject it's entire population to the
risk of wholesale slaughter, if not exter-
mintion.
