(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.

“If you want goodness genuinely

Dr. Bowman believes that religion

increasingly educated world, but
that it must not forget “the will of

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.
