Somebody got wise and decided
to put both men and women with
finely developed bodies in sport
suits.
Knowing that matinee audi

and women, the director of this

female forms.
This is done in a legitimate
manner as most of those revealed

The mystery of the lone flier is
solved. He was no foolhardy youth
winning drunken bet. He was a
grim messenger of death.
In that dive he dropped bomb
more deadly than high explosive
or poison gas. 1t was little glass
vial containing billions Of typhus
germs. A simple mechanism
opened the vial as it struck the
water.
At once the whole water system
of the city became a conduit of
death, its maze of pipes running
to every corner Of the city be-
came the tentacles of the plague,
reaching out to kill men, women
and children.
OUCH a thing may happen in

happen in the last World war. But
there is fairly good reason to be-
lieve that it was being discussed
in the last year of the war 1t
may even be that somewhere plans
were being made to try it.
There has been sufficient talk
about it since that war to induce
the study commission of the
League of Nations on chemical
warfare to investigate the subject.
The opinions of various authori-
ties upon the subject differ.
Many authorities think that it
will be tried and that it's results
will be terrible. They envisage
the spreading of typhus, typhoid
fever and cholera germs from
airplanes. Other plaques may be
spread by loosing pest-infested
rats upon cities. They also think
it likely that airplanes may be
used to scatter insect pests to de-
strOy crops.
Other authorities are divided
into two camps. one group be-
lieveS that the possibilities of such
epidemics and plaques spreading

might come home to the nation
that launched it, a terrible BOOM
erang, a FrankenStein monster
that destroyed its own creator.
The other group points to the
fact that germs are not so easily
transported in large quantities.
Its members doubt that such bac-
THEOLOGICAL attacks would be very
effective.

DUT the talk that goes on about
- archaeological warfare is just
one more symptom of what the
next world war will be like. It
will not be the fight of one army

Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ :

UEORE than one thousand scientists from unlVer-
wi sites and colleges, state and federal labora-
tories and industrial organizations are expected 10
attend the eighty seventh meeting of the American
Chemical Society," to be held in st. PETERSBURG Fla'
from March % to March so.
Subjects under discussion will range from heavy
water" the latest discovery of pure science TO the
development of a vast number OF chemical products
which promise increased activity and new markets
for the chemical industries.
THE society has passed through four years of
serious financial depression with flying coors says
DR. Charles L. Reese of Wilmington, Del its preSl-
dent and the retired chemical director OF E. l. Du-
pont de NemourS & Co. We go forward INTO the
next year with confidence"
The EXPANSION of chemistry in the next few years
will play a specially important part in Florida and
the southern United States leaders OF the society
say.
THE discovery of heavy water was made by Pro-
l. lessor Harold c. Urey of Columbia University
and DR. F. G. Brckwedde of the United States bu-
reau of standards Its existence Is due to the TACT
that there two kinds OF hydrogen atoms one
twice as heavy as the other. Heavy water consists
of water whose molecules contain only the heavier
hydrogen atoms.
Asa matter of fact there are also three kinds of
oxygen atoms Therefore it would be possible to
obtain water of various molecular weights. depend
ing not only upon which hydrogen atom was present
but also which oxygen atom. The three oxygen
atoms however all so close together in weight
that they Go not make the striking difference in the
molecule that the two kinds of hydrogen atoms do.
Both Professor Urey and DR.. Brickwedde will
participate in the symposium on heavy water which
will take place March 81.
Other speakers will discuss the preparation and
behavior of other chemical compounds containing
the heavy hydrogen atom. Among the compounds
to be discussed is deuterium iodde. Deuterium is
the name now in fairly general use for the heavy
hydrogen atom.
NTHER syrlposums scheduled for the ST. Peters
~ burg meeting includes on naval stores and
citrus fruits These will be under the direction of
the sOcietyS division of agricultural and food chem
istry of which Donald K. TreSsler of the New York
state agricultural experiment station is chairman.
Florida for many years has been one of the larg
est producers of naval stores in the United States
About so per cent of the industry IS engaged pro-
ducing gum turpentine and gum resin by the dis

from longleaf and slash trees. The other 20 per
cent of the industry is engaged in obtaining tur-
pentine and resin, or pine oil. pitch, tar and char
coal from wood. The products estimated to be
worth sll 900 900 annually
Growth of the Florida tung oil industry will also
be described at the meeting The oil now is obtained
chiefly from China and is used in the manufacture
OF paint varnish oilcloth and linoleum. The United

Then what happened? Well before Mr. Stewart

that the supreme court had just given a decision
which apparently knocked the whole proceeding into

WHEN the news of the october
W Revolution came TO America, !
was tremendously enthusiastic. Not
once in all the years since then did
I lose my feeling of joy that social
ism had at last come to realization,
that in Russia happier future for
humanity was being shaped.
At the time I was member of
the Social Problems Club in the
College Of the City of New York
Many of the members of social
democratic stamp even then re-
GREETED the Menshevik defeat and
predicted the fall of the Bolshevik
government first in days, then in
weeks, then months. I had daily de-
bate with them.
My enthusiasm, however, for the
U.SSR. did not lead me to par
ticipate in the revolutionary move
ment in America beyond a period of
mild activity in the old Socialist
Party. I left a better paying job for
a place on the staff of Soviet Rus
STA, which gave me six happy weeks,
cut short by suspension of the
magazine during the 1921 famine.
I became absorbed by my personal
ambitions and yielded to the COM
Portable doctrine that man could
separate his political beliefs from his
functions as an artist. When l
voted, it was for the Communist
Party: and when, among the people
with whom had my social life, the
question of revolution came up,
was its advocate; but the question
came up seldom and my advocacy
was merely that of the cheering
spectator.
I hated the society in which I
lived, as the whole generation hated
it. Dresser thought he could lead
it to a reform from within by show
ing how it made monsters out of
its masters and hunted rabbits out
of its multitudes. Sherwood Ander-
son felt that it could be cured by a
flight to the primitive, by mud
bath of animal freedoms. Winston
Churchill thought that condescen-
sion to leadership on the part of the
aristocracy, a genteel and presum-
ably honest minority of the upper
classes, could guide our society out
