of heavily loaded lines and long dis

XIV as standard single-phase dis
tribution voltage in addition to the
standard To XIV.
The higher-voltage systems provide
four times as much power as To XIV
systems with the same size conductor.
Consumers are being served as far
as seventy miles from the source of
power.
A considerable number of sys-
TENS using the new voltage have
been completed and are now in OPP
Grafton and others are under con-
struction. In all these cases it was
determined that the higher voltage
was more economical. In some in
stances the systems would not have
been economically feasible at the
lower distribution voltage.
Regardless of the voltage on the
electricity is delivered to
farmers at 240 volts for equipment
such as ranges, large motors and
water heaters and 100 volts for or
binary applicanes. These are standard
voltages of practically all urban sys-
TENS in the United States.

Probably one Of the most In
sidious and dangerous methods of
chemical warfare Is the dissemina.
ton Of so-called nerve gases, de-
veloped in Germany during World
War II. These nerve gases are
more toxic than any previously
known war gases and are nearly
colorless and odorless. They are
liquids which yield toxic vapors
when they evaporate and are laid
down near the ground. These gases
cut off breathing and blood circu-
lation. Action Is prompt and lethal
and inhalation for a few seconds
may cause death. Exposure to mild
traces Of the vapor causes bronchial
restriction with difficulty in breath
ing, coughing and q water dis
charge Of the nose. A slightly great
er exposure induces painful con-
striction of eye muscles. terrific
pain back of the eye-balls. Larger
doses cause rapid and severe
broncho-spasms. preventing both
inhalation and exhalation. The vic.
tim becomes confused and cyan
otic. may have nausea and vom-
iting and falls unconscious. The
blood pressure falls. heart beat Is
slowed and may or may not start
again.
The u. S. public health service
has worked out treatments for all
these inhuman forms OF modern
warfare in the biological and chem
ical field. The point is in learning
how to combat it; what treatments
to give in emergencies and in the
long pull for recovery; to pile up
stocks Of the right kind Of medi.
cines, particularly atrophine and
Tridione, plenty Of gas masks, pro-
tective clothing, how to prevent
contamination, disqualification and
dozen other necessities in case OF

Doctors and veterinarians must
take special courses in how to COM
bat the effects and this professional
manpower must come from the pri.

Former Nu-Forrn
Firm Develops
Vita-Plate Battery

Production of low gravity con-
ventional type of storage battery
revolutionary in its performance,
by the Vita-Plate Battery, Inc, has
been announced by Elton and Rob-
ert Clemons. president and vice
president of Vita-Plate firm, for
merly the Nu-Form Battery Corp
of Ohio.
This announcement, of interest
to local automobile dealers and
marine interests, stresses that the
new battery, using the trade name
of Vita-Plate, carries three-year
guarantee. Thorough tests of
Vita-Plate have proved that it
will out-perform most batteries
now on the market. Due to the
new process used in manufacture
of the plates, the Vita-Plate has
an exceeding long and trouble free
life and, in normal use, can be
used for one year without the ed
dition of water whatsoever.
While parts for the Nu-Form
Demountable battery are being
manufactured on limited scale
and will be available to owners of
this type battery, the scarcity of
the plastic materials used in the
manufacture of this battery has
made it impossible to continue
production on a large scale.
Edward l.. Jolly of Salt Lake
City, Utah, who has developed the
Vita-Plate battery, is Plant Mana
ger while ky" Jadwisiak is in
charge of production.
Distributors have been estab
lished in several cities in Ohio
and Indiana and negotiations are
in progress for procurement of &
defense contract covering several
thousand batteries.

Biological warfare against peo-
pie and against animals Is one Of
these perils. This sort Of warfare
which can spread q wide variety Of
disease including number Of
viruses. rickettisae. bacteria. fungi,
protozoa and soluble toxins, may
be waged from within by sabotage,
or from without by enemy planes
and can be disseminated through
variety of media, chief of which
are food, sir and water. These in
fectious diseases taken In by
humans through inhalation. ab-
sorption through the skin or by
food. could be disseminated by
aerial bombs and other munitions.
by release Of infective aerosols
from planes or from ground de-
vices. taking advantage Of favor.
able winds. or by release in venti-
lating systems Of large auditoriums.
Particularly effective Is contamina-
tion Of water sources.
In addition to humans. biological
warfare against animals can be
effective since meat, dairy and
poultry products are an important
source OF diet for both military and
civilian personnel Production Of
wool and leather. might be cur
tailed and important biologicals and
pharmaceuticals such as adrenslin,
liver extract and insulin, entirely
dependent upon animal glands and
organs. could be cut of.
Such animal diseases as foot-and.
mouth disease. rinderpest, fowl
pest and foreign types Of New
castle disease appear to have great
er possibilities for damage in this
country.
Then there Is biological warfare
against crops in the spread of in
sect pests and plant diseases which
constitute threat to our food sup.
ply. It would be comparatively easy
for low flying planes to spread such
crop and animal diseases across the
vast stretches Of the country's great
plains where wheat. oats and the
meat animals are raised and where
population Is comparatively mea.
ger. The department Of agriculture
knows about many Of these foreign
pests such as Japanese beetle, Eu-

pests. and our most successful
method of keeping down losses is
development Of strains resistant to
specific diseases, which takes time.
