member of the German general
staff and -de-camp to the
king of SaXony in the last World
war, says:
mo legal consideration will
stand when the vital interests of
a nation are at stake. 1t is there
fore worth while examining to
what extent surprise air attacks
that need not come into conflict
with the enemy's army on the
land front, may be decisive factors
or what may be advanced against
their use.
Their destructive power is
enormous. 1t is a hundred times
greater than it was during the
World war. Also large-scale air
attacks can now be carried out in
a fraction of the time needed in
the World war to drop a few tons
of explosives here and there.
mo passive system of defense
will be sufficient to protect in
dustrial, economic and, least of
all, administration centers."
TOMORROW: Tanks and the
Next World War.

DUT even as they run along the
- streets, a new horror is
loosed upon them. Now bombs
drop which release great clouds
of whitiSh vapors.
One bursts in a downtown street
and torrent of sickly mist goes
sweeping along sidewalks and
pavement between the rows of
buildings. AutoiSts breath the
fumes and let go of the steering
wheels, unaware that their ma
chimes will inevitably be wrecked.
They are only aware of the
choking, stabbing pains in their
lungs as they clutch desperately
at their threats.
Pedestrians run with the speed
of the crazed, but they fall, chok-
ing and gaSping, as the fumes
overtake them.
Poison gas. Run for your
lives" shout those who are not
Overtaken.
Men and women run into the
nearest houses. But the gas
fumes creep in through shattered
windows. Houses fill up with
them. The fumes are heavy. They
sink to the floor. They seep down
cellar steps.
Those who thought they might
find safety below ground from the
high explosive bombs, find them
selves trapped by the treacherous
fumes.
Now the airplanes are beginning
to fly lower, not the big bombing
planes, for they are still out of
sight, but the smaller pursuit
planes. They are coming down to
survey the damage and to add
their bit to this horrible revelry of
death.
DOWN they zoom in power
- dives. The throb of their
engines grows louder and louder.
The wind screams through their
struts. And as they straighten
out over the housetops, they open
fire with their machine guns on
the panic-Stricken survivors who
are driven out of their homes by
fire or gas and are seeking crafty
and hopelessly for some place of
safety.
Rat-tat-tat. Rat-tat-tat. The
machine guns bark. And the peo-
pie fall
And now the flames of a hun
dred fires, whipped and famed by
the wind, are completing the
destruction of the city. AS in a
forest fire, whole sections of terri
tory, miles long, are solid masses
of flames.
The night of horror is coming
to an end. And as the rising sun
comes up upon this man-made in
ferno, the airplanes sail away into
the distance.
I HAVE tried, in the foregoing, to
l. give picture of the way in
which many authorities think the
next war will begin. There are
even some authorities who think

ton perhaps may be broadcast by
radio at the moment set for the
attack to begin. Whether or not
nation would dare thus to fly in
the face of international custom
would depend upon how desperate
it regarded its plight or how arro-
CANT its war lords were.
Treaties and international Gus
toms have been turned into
scraps of paper" in the past.
NNE thing is certain: The next
~ war will not be merely
war between armies backed up by
the citizenry at home. It will be
a war between nations in the most
literal sense. Practically all au-
thorities agree upon this.
There will be no distinction be-
tween soldier and civilian. There
will be no fighting front, no rear.
A whole nation will be the theater
of war.
Let me quote briefly today from
just one authority. I will quote
others from time to time. Lieu

starring vehicle, Moulin Rouge"
opens its engagement.
In this movie, Miss Bennett
plays dual role. In one char
acter, she is a slangy individual
who is married to a musical COM
edy producer who does not want
his wife to go on the stage.
The other character is that
of talented French star who
comes to America. The success
of the story hinges on the ability
of Miss Bennett to be very
Frenchy, as well as very American
in dialect and appearance.
Coffee in the Morning and
Kisses at Night" and Boulevard
of Broken Dreams" are the hit
musical numbers.
Franchot Tone, Tullio Car
minati, Russ Columbo, the Bos-
we'll Sisters and Helen Wesley
are in the cast.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

60 much has been written about the relationship
~ of diet to the teeth that you might get the idea
that it is unnecessary hereafter clean the teeth
properly to have the cavities taken care of by
dentist In fact the dentists themselves are partial
ly responsible, because they have promoted a great
deal of publicity the subject.
You may have been told that if you will take
just enough orange juice lemon juice or enough
ultraviolet rays or enough cod liver oil, your teeth
will grow satisfactorily Actually, of course, none of
the evidence thus far produced is conclusive.
1t is admitted generally by physicians, nutrition
experts and dentists that the structure of the teeth
of both and animals depends largely on an
an adequate supply of vitamin D. 1t also is well
known that the purpose of vitamin is to make
the calcium and phosphorus in the body available
for growth.
IT seems reasonable to believe, therefore, that
Il diet rich in calcium and phosphorus and contain
ing sufficient amount of viamin D will do a great
deal to prevent dental decay.
group OF investigators in England has come to
the conclusion that diets that are rich in cereals
are bad for teeth because they believe cereals con-
tain some substance opposed to Qualification.
1t is said that the eating of milk. eggs. cheese
animal and fish fats, and vegetables must be in
creased greatly TO overcome the tendency to dental
decay, and the amount of cereals reduced.
THGDREN should be nursed by their mothers
~ by wet nrse for at least nine months to a
year, and thei. diet should be supplemented at the
age of months with some iron and vitamn c.
Moreover. cod liver oil. or other method of
supplying vitamins and D in adequate amounts,
should be provided
You should remember. however, that there are
many factors involved and that it is not safe to rely
wholly on the diet After the teeth develop there is
good evidence that food which requires chewing is
helpful to the care of the teeth rather than food
which is soft and sticky.
You will admit. of course that regular cleaning OF
the teeth and mouth aid to the appearance and
estheic value but beyond this it is also certain that
such cleaning helps to the debris of food and
the bacteria which in this debris, besides other
undesirable materials.

AS the smoke cleared away,
they gazed upon a scene of dread
full horror. A great irregular hole
had been torn in the street.
CCATTERED in all directions
- were wreckage of automo-
biles, bent and twisted into fam
tastic shapes. Telegraph poles
were snapped in two. Fallen
wires made an irregular pattern
upon the street.
And everywhere were the mu-
tilated bodies of persons who only
a few minutes before had been 60
ing serenely about their business
or pleasure, riding or walking up
on the street.
People pour into the street, i'm
PEELED by the cries of the injured.
They attempt to render first aid
and shout for doctors. One man
runs to phone the police, another
to call hospital.
Suddenly a red glare lights up
the scene as several buildings at
the scene of the explosion begin to
burn. Telephone calls are put in
for the fire department.
But this first explosion is only
the beginning of a night of un-
believable horror. There is an
other whining, unearthly shrek,
another bright flash, another
deafening explosion The whole
scene of death and destruction is
repeated in another section of the
city.
There is a third and fourth,
and fifth explosion. Now there
are a dozen. They come so fast
that it is impossible to keep count.
The number runs into several
hundred.

with family groups. Here are

Suddenly a whining, shrieking

crashes through the roof and
strikes in the very center of the
audience. There is a deafening
defamation and the air is filled
with flying bits of steel, falling
plaster and shattered bodies.
Most of the men and women and
children, intent a moment ago up
on the movie screen, are dead now.
