The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1934-06-28

William LANCER won the Re-
publican gubernatorial homina-
ton in Wednesdays primary
election by vote which appar-
emily will be less than a ma
jority.
Division of the anti-Langer
vote between T. H. H. Thore-
sen, anti-Langer Nonpartisan,
and J. P. Cain, Independent Re-
publican, enabled LANCER to
take the nomination.
The returns were from more than
half Of the states So counties and
were considered representative.
Democratic returns were few but
indicated that the candidates en-
dorsed by the party convention had
been nominated by comfortable ma
jorities.
This would pit Thomas H. Noodle,
Williston editor, against LANCER In
the fall. provided the latter = held
eligible to run for reelection. His eli
gibility was questioned following hts
recent conviction In federal court On
charges Of conspiracy against the
government In connection with fed

Forty-two wholesale trade estab-

will be a motorized army, an army
of big tanks and little tanks,
tanks carrying machine guns,
tanks carrying heavier artillery,
armored automobiles and trucks
of all sorts.
THIS invading army will be
~ swift and mobile. 1t will
attempt to strike quick and de-
cisive blows, to strike and move
fast.
1t will prefer to use the greater
violence Of high explosives. 1t
will fear to blight with gas the
territory which it may wish to
occupy next. That is why at the
beginning of the war, civilians will
get the brunt of the poison gas
attack.
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.
1t does not seem quite practical.
But it may be necessary to try it.

rendered gas proof by outlying

But how long could the popula-

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISRBEIN

COMEHOW, because the eye is such a highly
- specialized and important organ of the human
body, have come to separate 1t in our minds from
bodies Nevertheless. you should consider 1t not
only as a part of your body with special functions,
but also mirror of the body for many conditions
which affect your system as a whole.
When YOU have trouble with your nervous system.
with the blood vessels or the heart when certain in
fectionS invade your body. the very first manifesto
lions may become apparent in the eye.
Sometimes tumor in the brain is discovered first
because of a difficulty with sight Sometimes double
vision is the first sign Of an inflammation OF the
brain.
The pupils of the eye may vary in size due to
some condition in the eye itself but sometimes be-
cause of the taking OF drugs or some condition be-
hind the eye.
TN cases in which the nervous system is attacked
/ by syphilis the pupil of the eye will respond to
the vision of distant objects or objects, but will
not narrow with light or widen with less light,
as does ordinary pupil.
In addition TO examining the eye from outside,
the competent physician can study the back Of the
eve with an instrument called the ophthalmoScope.
In various forms of severe anenliaS there are fire.
quently hemorrhages in the back of the eye. In
many conditions affecting the White blood cells SIM
liar changes occur.
In the retna of the eye the doctor can see blood
vessel at close range and observe the changes which
occur in disease conditions When there is hard
ening of the arteries the blood vessels in the back
of the eye are found to be very much twisted some
times narrowed and sometimes broken with bleeding.
WHEN there are diseases of the kidney which
w interfere with the ordinary output of this
gan resulting eventually in the condition called

long before other manifestations, such as convul-
sjons Diabetes. too. produces a large variety of
changes in the eye
Thus you can see that the eye is linked closely to
many diseases of the body whole. and exanina-
tion of the eyes, both from within and without fire.

OF course where the actual disease of the eye
itself is responsible for loss of vision for headaches
or for various types of disorders complete
examination of the eye by physician who has given
special attention to the subject is Of utmost mpor-
lance.

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,
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.
Three drops of 'Lewisite' are
enough to kill a man if they come
in contact with any part of the
skin"
Lord Halsbury, chief of the ex-
plosives department of the British
ministry Of war during the World
war, informed the house of lords
on July IA, 1923, that forty tons
of diphenylcyanarSine would be
enough to destroy all of London.
This gas was used in the last
World war. Brigadier-General
Fries of the American army, in a
communication to the aviation
committee of the house of repre-
sentatives, stated that new gases,
invented since the war, are fifty
times superior to those used in
the war.

Cross or mustard gas, is one of
these.
Strictly speaking it is not 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
