Lee Lewis, Ev anston, Ill., inventor, said recently. ■ Lewis, retired chemist and univer sity professor, one-time colonel of the chemical warfare service, said the war department has known of the gas — Lewisite — for 25 years, since its development just before the first World war ended. Lewis said he believed the United States would use the gas only for defense, although its potency for of fensive use cannot be overestimated. He called it “a World war memen to, but one whose importance two decades of chemical research have not erased.” It was not produced in wholesale quantities until just before the ar mistice in 1918, Lewis said, and was not tried in the war. "But it is more humane than mus tard and other gases used in the World war,” he said, “in that its deadly effectiveness reacts more quickly. , “Lewisite is infinitely superior to World war gases in several re spects,” he continued. “The gas has a low freezing point and can be used in remarkably cold regions. A second important factor is that an area contaminated with the gas re mains contaminated for a long pe riod of time. Rain or moist atmos phere will not dissipate its force.” Roar of Airplanes Will Be Silenced, Says Expert The peace of our homes will not be disturbed in the future by the roar of airplanes skimming the roof tops, according to an aviation execu tive. Before long, he predicts, planes will make no more noise than auto mobiles. How will planesbesilenced? By reducing the speed with which the propellers rotate without reduc ing speed of ships, says this author ity, much noise will be eliminat ed. Secondly, new mufflers are be ing developed which reduce motor noise over 50 per cent. Propeller speeds could be reduced without decreased efficiency by geared engines, he further pointed out. Efficient mufflers already are available for smaller planes up to 90 horsepower. By directing the ex haust upward, instead of downward additional quiet is achieved. So, try to be patient when you are awak ened at 4 a. m. to hear the drone of a sky liner fading away. And don’t get nervous and sell your home if it happens to be directly beneath an airline. Five years from today you won’t know it when a plane passes. • More Teachers Tucked away at the most south ern tip of Central America is Costa Rica, a nation which has more school houses than police stations, more school teachers than soldiers. The appropriation for education in Costa Rica is the largest per capita in Central America, an item which may well be the determining factor in keeping the number of revolutions to a minimum. Costa Ricans, in direct contrast to other Central American natives, are white rather than Indian. They are descendants of the Gallegos, the hardest working and the least for tune seeking of the Spaniards who settled in the Americas. Before the war the people leaned heavily on British and German pur chases of bananas and coffee. Ger man capital owned 20 per cent of the coffee plantations. When that trade dwindled the Costa Ricans appealed to the United States for aid. The U. S. responded with imports of half of the coffee crop and the Export-Import Bank loaned the na tion more than $4,000,000 to com plete their section of the Pan Amer ican highway. Sweet Tooth Manufacturers’ sale of confection ery and competitive chocolate prod ucts in 1940 totaled approximately 2,250,000,000 pounds, with an esti mated value of $336,000,000, the de partment of commerce reported re cently. Per capita consumption reached an all-time high of 16 9 pounds in 1940, compared with 15.7 pounds in 1939, an increase of 7% per cent against an advance in national in come of a little more than 7 per cent. The survey is based on vol untary reports from 273 manufac turers of confectionery and compet itive chocolate products whose com bined sales account for approximate ly 70 per cent of total sales for the industry. How Permanent? If the proper amount of heat and alkali are applied, the result is a permanent wave which will last un til the hair grows out. If the hair is not steamed long enough or at a high enough temperature, or if the alkaline preparation used is too weak, the wave is not permanent. The hair will be soft, the wave loose, and it will gradually assume its orig inal straight state If too much heat or too strong an alkali, or too much of both, are applied, the hair may be left with little elasticity or re- sistance. This will have one of two effects: limpness or frizziness. A too strong wave is not likely to last any longer than a too weak one. GARDENS FOR VICTORY TO BE STRESSED HERE The facts behind the current na- tionwide campaigns to grow victory gardens. plan the family food sup ply, and produce and conserve meat will be carried to every family in Um atilla county as job No. 3 for the neighborhood leader system, says Wal ter Holt, county agent. Details of the present situation in three phases of the national food problem were brought out at the first training meeting for community lead ers held in Mr. Holt’s office Febru ary 15. Assisting the county exten sion staff in this meeting, Chester Otis, assistant extension agronomist, from the central extension staff in Corvallis. Rural families are in much better position than others both to supply their own food needs and to help the war effort by producing as much ex tra as possible, declared R. O. Earn- heart, one community leader. Far mers have no restrictions on the amount of meat they can butcher for their own use, but if they hold their own consumption down to the 2 12 pounds per week per person it will mean many millions of pounds more to share with the armed forces and America’s allies, he said. Importance of well planned victory gardens large enough to give an ex tra supply of vegetables beyond fresh use and canning requirements is em phasized this year. New and better bulletin aids from OS.C. are avail- I able. How the family food supply can be planned for the entire year so that the least amount possible will have to be taken from commercial chan nels is the aim of this part of the campaign. Charts will be distributed to each family to serve as a sugges tion in planning the canning, drying and freezing of foods this summer. Other meetings of community and neighborhood leaders have been an nounced by County Agent Holt for March 3 at Pendleton, March 4 at Athena and March 5 at Helix, these being conducted by Mrs. Myrtle Car ter, home demonstration agent. At the conclusion of these meetings, neighborhood leaders will pass infor mation and printed material on to their neighbors either by a personal call or at small neighborhood meet ings. This same procedure is being carried out in all 36 Oregon counties by some 9000 community and neigh borhood leaders organized by the ex tension service to perform this vital wartime informational work. Re cently "bolck leaders” in many cities have been organized in a similar man ner by the civilian defense organiza tion. LEAST CROWDED ZavedZines MIDWINTER MONTHS and MID WEEK DAYS • Aid wartime bus service by planning essential trips for February • March • April instead at mid-summer 4 Even in wartime —when all bus travel is much heavier - winter travel is lighter than summer travel. That’s why wc urge you to plan essential trips during these lighter* travel months, thus relieving overcrowding in the mid summer months ahead. Travel in mid-week and choose uncrowded schedules. It’s wise to carry one bag only— and phone for infor mation well in advance. HERMISTON DRUG CO. Phone 2271 MAKE NECESSARY TRIPS BY union PACIFIC STAGES • BUYUSWAR BONDS (
