been published about iliis chemical warfare

weapon which is misleading and erroneous. At itlie close of World War there were only nine chemicals, other than screening sitiokcs and iii- ccndiarics, which survived the rigid require- ments demanded of a satisfactory chemical war- fare substance. Thousands of compounds have been investigated but in i941 this number still stands at nine. The reason for this lack of de- velopment of ncw gases is due to the fact that a good chemical warfare agent must have a boil- ing point and melting point within fairly narrow limits. That is, it must be volatile enough to allow an effective concentration to be built tip iii the air but not enough to prevent easy lique- faction and loading into shells. Various announce- nicnts of new gases being discovered which will ‘wipe out entire cities’, ‘cause fatal lesions of the heart’, ‘put combatants into a. hypnotic state,’ ctc.. make good reading but have no truth in them."

Three truckloads of whiskey, about 5,000 gallons confiscated in that dry Mississippi county over several months and stored in the jail, were smashed in the business district as Saturday morning crowds looked on. Five Negro convicts, under the eye of the Sheriff, smashed bottle af- ter bottle on the tailgates of the truck as they trundled through the city. When the last bottlta were broken the streets glistcned under their bath and the sharp odor of alcohol permeated the busi- ness section. “This is just an example of what is going to be done iii cleaning up this county,"

The resolute courage of London population when enduring German assaults from the air is known and acknowledged everywhere, but not so much has been said of the corresponding spirit manifested by citizens, young and old alike, in provincial towns. Lady Simon sends The Titties an, extract from a letter received the other day from a friend, who on the night of the fierce al- satilt on Sheffield was serving at a first aid sta- tion? “'l'he people who came in were so thankful f1": anything we did, and kept saying how they did not want to give trouble. A little girl of eight, with a great gash over her eye, never murmured and only said Hitler was not going to make her cry. Her sister was killed and her mother sent t0 hospital. A little boy of I3. with a broken 16g, helped to hold up a beam from crushing his father and mother when the house collapsed, and as they were lifting him into the ambulance, he looked around and said, "Was that our house ?"-—just a heap of rubble? A woman who was brought in smiled and said she had never been so dirty be- fore, and this ivas when she knew that they were still digging to find her little boy -— when they found him he was dead. A man was brought in on a stretcher and laid on the floor, and some time after his wifc ivas also brought in and her stretch- er happened to be laid on the floor next to hi8- Wlien he heard her voice he opened his eyes and put out his hand and they lay there holdin hands Such tales could be repeated at every irst lid station." llitler must indecil be deluded if 11¢ supposes that by such dastardly brutality he can break the spirit of people like these.

The enlistment of Wendell Grove 1n the Army. as reported by The Associated Press from St. Paul, Minn, is one of thbe arresting minor incidents that repay scrutany from several angles. Wendell at 26 i5. to begin with a. baritone hoin player. Upm reading that. the Third Infantry band at Fort. Snell- lnz needed a man like nun. Wtn- dell went. to the recruiting ofLce but was told, “Nuthinl doing.

Wendell 1s now 1n the Army. This brief recital must. leave ln the reader's mind the insistent question whether Mrs. Grove was or was not an admirer of baritone horn music 1n the home. The tone of the barlfne horn ls penetrating yet 1t has unusual body and reson- ance. It la, perhaps, best heard 1n thﬁ wmplmy of other Instruments. but naturally some indlvxlual re- hearsal i; called fcr lf the player's 11D Is to be kept 1n condition. Lip, to a h.m player is of the es ence. It may be said that. while the barl- tone horn dces not have the skip- blng flucncy of the flute or the racy excitement of the trmmpet, it does have other solid and f6spegt. able qualities. It ls not. necessary <1- evtn advisable to sit. 1n the same roam with a practicaig ham player. The tune can readily be plckccl up elsewhere in the house. No assump- tum should be made that the barl- wne Ls less to be esteemed than other horns. Quite the contrary. But it. must. be undeastacd, and allowances must b- made far it. It ls primarily a man's instrument. Women's horn may be better ap- rec-ated at. Fort Sneillng, pert-taps, hat it. was at home. - New York Times.

One of the benefits of llv'ng In a democracy the past t-wo decades has been that 11 man could cheer "tho wrong parade" lf he felt tn- clmed, heckle a pditlcal candidate, or question a, prune minister, Can- adians aooiipted such conditions as a. rlgtit and piwllege and to"_k it for granted. The Nazis and the Fascists and the Stallnlte: looked on ft differently. They banned or cen- sored all newspaper; and the radio but. forgot that men and women can still talk and listen. Since France was defeated and occupied we have szen Nazilsm more clear- ly. The latest story brulted ln France is that German uutl1orit.es 1n Parts have arrested half a hun- dred people for "gossiping and spreading alarming rt pcrts in cafes" Gsslp is_p:ss.bly mt the best c-f cccupauons, but so lcng as it was not vlndlctlve or peronal it was accepted as harmless. It. was a social adjunct m living and cer- tainly never a crime against the state. The old English use of the w.rd indeed was a friend cf famil- iar acquaintance, thcugh this i5 ncw archaic. Shakespeare tied it ln the "Comedy of Errors" to denote a boon companion. Later 1t came to imply mere ldle chatter, the whfs- pering cf busybodlm. Now the Teutonic churl clamps his ma lsd flat ivpon this social release. No mcre shall Parlslans sit around their no/w disappearing cafes for small talk, epigram and repartee. Everything is to be solemn, dire and portentoua u befits u.
