of them. In high enough concen-

The defenses against poison gas
are not many. Some authorities
have suggested that whole city
be equipped with gas masks. Gas
masks for the men on their to
work. Gas masks for the teachers.
Gas masks for the children. Gas
masks for mothers and for babes
in arms.
It does not seem quite practical.
But it may be necessary to try it.
Not so long ago the British Red
Cross Society published a First
Aid in Chemical Warfare" in
which it told how a room might be
rendered gas proof by outlying

hole, etc.
But how long could the popula-

rooms? And what about an ex-
plosive shell that would shatter
walls as well as windows and open
the way for the poison gas?

All military authorities look for
airplane raids upon cities in the
next war. Poison gas, they all
agree, will be used in such at
tacks.
Professor Philip Noel Baker, a
former English member of the
secretariat of the League of Ma
tions, writes, In the last war, gas
never was used against open
towns, but now the air force Of
every country has been trained to
carry out large-scale gas attacks
and unless an effective disarma-
ment treaty is prepared and &C
ceptetd, every large town will in
evitably be subjected to an in
tensive gas attack in the next
war. The gas will naturally be
more deadly than formerly.

Displays to Be Made BY
Architects, Florists,
Club Members.

Flower and garden division COM
mittee Of the 1884 Home Show will
meet Monday night in the Archi-
tects and Builders building to map
plans for the gardens which are
to be built in the pit of the state
Playground manufacturers building.
The Home show, which it to be
held April to IA, will include
displays by landscape architects,
florists and members of Indianap-
oils Garden Clubs. E. E. Temperley
is general chairman of the flower
and garden committee.
The landscape design has been
planned by Lawrence v. Sheridan,
landscape architect, to comply with
the general architecture. Particular
emphasis is being given to land
scaping about the 1884 model house,
which is of French design. Assist
ing Mr.. Temperley and M. Sheridan
is Colonel Will H. Brown, vice
chairman.
The committees are in three di-
visions. Members of the landscap-
ing committee are Alex Tuschinsky,
E. B. Palmer. Homer Weigand, Don
Rub and Andy Miller.
The florists committee consists of
Carl Brandlein, Frank Rieman, Tom
Roberts, Bert Stanley, z. G. Grande,
William Roepke, George Weigand,
Robert Kiefer, William Fox, Will
liam Mahoney, Marion Elder, Ray
mond Kline and O. E. Steinkamp.
Members of local garden clubs
and individual garden owners on
the amateur gardens committee are:
Fred c. Horne, Mrs. Eugene Foley,
Mrs. Perry ONeal, Mrs. w. D.
Hamer, E. E. Brodbeck, Gavin L.
Payne, Frank Boyd, Mrs. J. K. Lilly
Jr. and Mrs. Mary E. Gipe.
The show is being sponsored by
the Allied Florists of Indianapolis,
the Architects Association. the Con-
struction League, the Ele ctric
League, the Chamber of Commerce,
the Home Builders, the Real Estate
Board and the Material and Lumber
Dealers of Indianapolis.

Citizens will get brunt of poison gas.

Cross or mustard gas, is one of
these.
Strictly speaking it is not a gas,
but a liquid which is scattered in
the form of a fine spray. This
spray clings to objects or to the
ground. A soldier walking over
the ground picks up the gas upon
his shoes and carries it into the
dugout. In the warmth of the
room, it vaporizes and mixes with
the air that is breathed.
Mustard gas causes severe burns
when it comes in contact with the
skin. If breathed, it eats holes
into the bronchial tubes and the
lungs.
Many of the recent gases may
be regarded as combining the ter
rors of several types. This is true
of the poisonous arsenical smokes
of which LeWisite is one. These
combine the effects of a gas such
as the Blue Cross gas With those
of mustard gas.
Lewisite, or dichlorarsine why
chloride, has been nicknamed
death dew. In the projected
air attack of 1919, made unneces-
sary- by the signing of the arm
istic, plans were made to employ
Lewisite.
1t is significant that most of the
military experts emphasize the
use of poison gas against cities
in the next war. 1t is the de-
struction of cities by airplane
raids that they are all talking
about. This is probably what will
happen.
Poison gas will be used against
civilians. Men, women and chill
dren will be gaSsed.
On the fighting front it is prob
able poison gas will not find any
very great use in the early stages

duQl6DC6 WHICH Was IlSdIly Capacity
Main Street of twenty years ago
came back to life last night as the
Civic Theater cast placed Willie
Baxter, his ma and pa and that
terrible person" his sister Jane,
into life again.
The lines that Booth Tarking-
ton caused to live were given
new meaning last night. His
youngsters of other days had their
problems.
The children of today talk and
even live a new program of ex-
istence. And yet, the big audience
last night laughed with and not
at the characters of another day.
It was this acceptance of Mr..
Tarkinton's lines and situations
which speaks so we'll of his dreams
and observations of many years
ago.
A WAY from their own theater,
"A The Playhouse, the men,
bers of the cast gave ample proof
of the training, integrity and an
idea of purpose which has given
this organization a right to be
considered a real civic influence
at home or even on tour"
The great idea was to honor
Mr.. Harrington for what he has
accomplished on the stage and in
literature
This message was brought home
IN 9 curtain talk by Governor
Paul V. McNutt as he read tele-
grams expressing praise for the
Gentleman not from Indiana,
but in Indiana"
The play was the thing last
night and the audience knew it.
The players accepted that chal-
lenge and the result was genuine
Indiana theater.
IN considering the cast, We have
L several examples of what may
be termed rightly graduate act
ing of the Civic Theater.
There we're two outstanding
performances in the three COM
plete acts staged last night.
These we're contributed by
Fanchon Fattig as Jane Baxter,
that awful child" and by Booth
Harrington Jameson as Willie
Baxter, or Silly Bill" -.
On the part of Miss Fattig,
there was genuine characterize
ton Of an impulsive child who
would spy on her big brother
She was at her best as she told
her mother that Willie had taken
two baskets up to his room and
had vanished.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-02-24

During this scene she possessed
traits of character drawing which
had an adult understanding al
though the character was juve-
nile.
Mr.. Jameson, as William Syl-
vanus Baxter, brought the years
of knowledge that he was a mag
nificent part of the original inspi-
ration on part Of the author, to
such a degree of showmanship
that Willie always was believe
able. That is the test of the role.
THE Serenade scene had it's
l. moments, but it did not reach
the heights of comedy relief
which were needed. That was the
only serious defect in the first
three acts of the play.
Elizabeth Bogert Schofield last
night showed the benefits of study.
She was at east nearly all the
time in her part.
Much depends on the way the
baby talk girl" is acted in this
play 1t is a difficult role. Hen
rietta Orr had this difficult task.
She rose to her great moment
when she tossed her kiss to the
Man in the Moon as the boys left
the front porch on a grand date
night.
There is a natural charm about
everything that Walter P Pfaff
does on the stage. He loves to get
in the land Of make-believe. His
Mr.. Parcher was perfect. The
audience recognized it. Mr.. Pfaff
knows how to get genuine comedy
out of pantomime.
Others who contributed to the
genuine success of The cast were
Horace F. Hill III Robert Hanika,
Jane Roemler, R. Blayne Nc
Curry. Myles Sweeney, Eugene
McManamon, Lionel Wiggam, and
Mary Florence Fletcher.
Hale MacKeen directed Seven
teen" and as usual the assisting
staff gave a production which was
right.
Last night was a night which
will be remembered for years to
come.
Youth ruled once more.

DOISON gases, one breath Of
Il which vii cause instant death,
so penetrating they will eat their
way through clothing and burn
the skin horribly, causing great
cancerous sores, will be used in
the next world war.
A shudder of revulsion ran
through the whole world when the
Germans released the first cloud
of poison gas at Ypres in April,
1915. The gas was chlorine. It
caught the allies entirely unpre-
pared and killed 5000 men.
People read with horror of the
deaths of these first victims, their
faces blue and bloated, their lips
flecked with blood, as they died
gasping and coughing.
But chlorine gas was soon
showed aside as too mild and in
effective. 1t could be beaten with
the aid of masks. And soon all
the belligerents in the World war
we're using poison gases while be-
hind the lines leading chemists
and scientists worked night and
day to make more deadly gases.
1t has been said many times
that when the armistice was
signed. the allies were getting
ready to launch a poison gas at
tack the like of which had never
been seen.
The next world war will begin
where the last one left off. This
is the opinion Of the military ex-
perts. I find it stated again and
again, by French, British, Ger
man, Swedish, Swiss authorities.
That means tn enext world war
will begin with the use of poison
gas.
VOU will find very little talk
a among the military men
about the horror of poison gases.
Instead, the great majority of
them point out that it is more
humane than high explosive
shells.
Poison gas, they say, does not
kill as many as high explosive
shells. 1t does not tear off arms
and legs the way exploding shells
do. Among military men there is
even the opinion that the best
poison gas may not prove suffi-
GENTLY horrible for the next war.
In a future war" says General
Won Metzsch, member of the
German general staff in the last
World war, chemicals will be
used on far greater scale than
in the World war, unless by that
time their use has proved to be
too humane to effect speedy de-
cision. This is quite possible. If
it is the case, chemicals will be
less important than explosives"
But however that may be, Scien-
lists in every nation are working
on the problem of poison gases.
Their goal is an odOrless, color
less, deadly gas that will pene-
trate any gas mask and that can
be manufactured from raw ma
terials available within the Dor
ders of their own country.
One of the chief arguments in
every country for the building up
of a strong chemical industry is
that dye and drug and perfume
plants could be turned overnight
into poison gas factories.
II n
VXTHAT secrets may be locked
w up in the archives of war
departments, no one is able to
say. 1t is possible, however, to
discuss the gases which were used
in the last war and the gases
which were ready for use as the
war closed.
And it should be remembered
that any gas used in the last war
will be used more effectively in
the next because of Improvements
in artillery and improvements in
aircraft.

vast amount Of General Johnson's time and reams
Of testimony were heard; vital information as to

It is within neither my power
nor province to say whether or
not American newspapers as a
whole should have such a rank
ing IN the public mind. But the
plain and palpable fact is that
they have not. Many things
have occurred within the last
four years which have led the
average reader to distrust the
average newspaper Never has
the phrase "Oh. that's Just a
newspaper story carried
heavier ring of cynicism.
But it is my impression that
newspapers have suffered far
more from a failure to print
than for any gross errors in
tactual statement. 1 will agree,
also, that part of the loss of
