Secret of Den ' Gas
Held by United Slates
For 25 years the United St: tes has
kept the secret of a gas whose ef
fects are more powerful than many
panzer divisions and air squad
rons. gray-haired W. 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.
