Ford Lets Fancy Run Wild; Sees World All United Dirty Dishes To Go, He Predicts; Dry Times Are Coining Magnate Turns Crystal Gazer for a Change (By United Press) NEW YORK. Feb. 16.—Henry Ford has taken time from his de velopment of new auromooiics and airplanes to give th«? Country a glimpse of the future which is pic tured in his mind. The world in years still ahead, will be one, Ford believes, in which: There will be a United States of the World with boundaries gone, broken down by such development as airplanes, the radio and motion pictures. It will know what is going on on other planets and may even visit them. No More Dishes Women will be free from house hold drudgery^ The house work will be done by machinery. Even food will be cooked outside the home and brought to the dining table piping hot. Each member of the family will have the thing he likes, all costing less than the workingman’s food today. The farmer will no longer plow and sow and harvest. That work will be done by great corporations or by groups of farmers banded to gether to operate farms on a largo scale. Ape Mcthusalah Human life will be greatly ex tended—he does not venture a guess as to the exact future span of life.— and parts of the body when they show signs of wear, will be replaced .just as machinery is kept operating year after year by constant replace ment. Waste in industry and in private life will be reduced to a minimum. The country will be “dry.” Ford finds no fault with present day society. Ford devoted much discussion to {prohibition and added an attack upon tobacco as a narcotic which reduces efficiency. lie says that in Ford industries no one smokes.

Poisonous Gas May Humanize War in Future — The International Relations Club Discussion Is Led by Chemist That the two possibilities of chemists of the world stopping war, either by boycotting it or by making it prohibitively terrible are both impractical was the conclusion drawn at the discussion on “Chem istry and the Next War,” led by Roger Williams, of the chemistry department, at the meeting last night of the International Relations Club. “The possibility for development of a new, very poisonous gas is not great,” said Mr. Williams. Sensa tional newspaper stories as to the terrible efficacy of new poison gases were scouted, in the talk on the history of gases in warfare. New developments in warfare are always followed by a corresponding means of protection, and the process is simply one of getting the jump on the other fellow. “It is commonly believed that chemistry made great progress dur ing the great war,” said Williams. He stated that this was not so, that the progress was really slower than usual, and that it was only a case of rising the already known compounds and gases for lethal pur poscs. If poison gas should come to be generally used, it might tend to make war more humane, was the assertion made. This is true be cause as the number of casualties may be greater, the fatalities are generally less. Statistics shoy that out of 100 men incapacitated by gas, only one per cent died; while out of 100 men put out of action in other 'ways, the deaths were 25 per cent. j; The only efficient way to stop war is for us all to try to prevent it, and to keep on trying to solve tiie problems of diplomacy that come up. War spirit, caused ,by propaganda, is never conducive to peace. the constitution of the newly re organized Intern'aUonal Relations Club was read and adopted at the business meeting proceeding the talk. Membership is to be limited to 25, with three faculty members. Election of new members will be held at the first meeting of each term. A report concerning the club’s rather extensive library was given by the librarian, LaWanda Fenla son. A shelf in the library has been reserved, and the books and pamphlets belonging to the club can now be taken out by the members. Beautiful * SPRING HATS now on DISPLAY LEOCADE’S HAT SHOP 172 E.
