DeudlY Nerve Cos
Exists. British
Scientists Reveal

That there exists a nerve
gas that is so deadly that a
Single drop of the liquid form
will kill or disable a person
within a matter of minutes,
was revealed by a British
scientist.
Sir Harry Garner, Chief
Scientist Of the Ministry Of
supply authorized the first pub
lie word of the nerve gas"
It was reported to be ex-
tremely difficult to detect, be
ing almost odorless and
invisible. A drop of the liquid
in the eye, or inhalation Of the
vapor through the skin or mu-
cous membrane, or by inges-
ton, may cause lncapaclty or
death within few minutes. It
prevents the muscles working,
and the victim dies from suf-
location.
Liquid on the bare skin
penetrates somewhat less ra-
pid1y, but two or three drops
may kill within half an hour.
The British are making gas
masks to give protection
against inhalation Of this gas.
Medical treatment, according
to the Medical Journal, is an
injection of atropine. and in
s erio $ cases artificial
respiration.

Future Farmers receive systematic

They are trained in public speaking,

To place in practice the things

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
Sept. 6, 1862


Dear Editor:
Congratulations on picking the
town of Bluffton in which to live
and then writing such a fine evalua-
ton of it.
/ gather that you came to Bluffton
with no shamefacedness for its small
size. |, too, am proud to have come
from such a place.
Button can hold her head high.
Along with your accurate listing Of
her strong points, she can also be
said to be noted for what she has
not produced. Her youth grows to
manhood without many of the evils
that the youth of other places must
face. How few people from Button
have W been in any serious trouble
with the law! If a mar from Bluff
ton goes to Lima and gets a traffic
ticket, he gets his name in the News
he's notorious.
Button is a good place to live.
Everyone ought to spend at least a
few years there to learn how to live
before thy go out into the big bad
world.
! wish you every success in Bluff
ton. I feel you have made the wis
est of choices. Bluffton may not
grow much in size from year to
year but it will ever continue to
grow on its citizens.
Yours sincerely,
Geo. c. Again

"confusin'". What difference
does il make who gets credit for

grams, as long as the job is &C

So, we guess, you can come out
of your corner. If you eat FLA

SINCE MAINLY PERSONAL has
become al advice column this week
here is a word to squirrel hunters
from the Ohio Wildlife department.
If you are planning to hunt the
bushy tail when the season opens
Monday, the question now is DO
YOU HAVE A PLACE TO HUNT?
The department advises that now
is the time to find it. Don't wait
until the opening day then go barg-
ing in with shotgun and shells. Con-
tact the farmer or landowner on
whose property you are DESTROYS of
hunting and get his permission now.
Hunting without the consent of the
landowner is a violation of the law
and ~violators may be prosecuted.
BLUFFTONTTES have a right to
consider themselves, as a whole,
better read than the citizens of
either Findlay on the north or Lima
on the south, if Miss Ocie Anderson's
public library statistics are a clue.
The per capita book circulation
from the Button Public Library dur
ing 1851 was 10.5 books. Only 6.5
books per person circulated from the
Lima Public Library, and in Find
lay the figure is Al books.
But Bluffton shouldn't get chesty
about the figures, because they have
dropped some since 1887, '3S and 80
when the circulation averaged more
than 10 books per person per year.
AT that time in Findlay the average
was only two and a half books per
person. So Findlay reading has
nearly doubled since then while Bluff
ton has dropped off one third.

help the club. Awards of various
kinds are offered for achievements.
While Al club meetings are often
held in the school buildings and
vocational teachers sometimes act in
an advisory capacity, there is no
direct connection with the school
system.
