SEES WAR OUTLAWED.

The forces liberated by the atom
bomb are so great and so destruc-
tive that perhaps, this time, the
world will really admit that future
wars are too horrible, too cataS-
trophic to contemplate.
Couple an atomic bomb with an
improved W. type OF rocket and
wars of the future would be no
battle of men against men but OF
Buck Rogers. man-of- of-the-future
weapons that could and would
wipe out the civilized world.
Admittedly man has said this
same thing before about other
military weapons-the tank, the
airplane, the submarine, poison
gas and orthodox two-ton block
buster" bombs.
But all these are as pigmies
compared with the new atomic
bomb. Perhaps this time man will

tolerated in the future.

show. Children up to Is years
of age are invited to participate
in the tests.
Free Course Given
In addition to having the op-

party, those chosen will have
an opportunity to win free

A complete 10 week course in

party. Any child, regardless of
whether they take part in the
