NOW it, is the Russian soviet .government, which rumor says,
1ms a gas invisible and odorless, penetrating the pores of the
skin, destroying the cells and paralyzing the nervous system
and t lie heart. This pleasant gas, it seems, can be scattered by
bombs from uirplanes; it remains active for a long time and may
be spread by the wind a long distance. No" known gns mask is pro
tection against it. Only u soapy liquid sprayed from an airplane
above the gassed area has any effect. This liquid causes the gas
to decompose and robs it of its poisonous qualities.
It seemed as if the last word in poison gasses had been perfected
long since, but now it appears likely that the cheery custom of
keeping government scientists at work in this realm of research
will continue in all lands. The announcement of the discovery of
such a horror in one country inspires other countries to do just a
little better or worse and the idiotic rivalry goes on.
f another disarmament conference is called, an agreement to
eliminate poison gas would be very much in order.

A says Hint lit the present time all agencies in the United States
are planting less than 4(I,(X)0 acres of young forests a year, in spite
of the fact that there are in this country 81,000,000 acres of denuded
forest land needing replanting.
In the meantime Japan is planting more than 350,000 acres of
oung forests every year. It is only popular to compare military
and naval statistics. Yet forest statistics are more important than
many Americans realize.
There aro many reasons for taking the forest situation seriously.
One is the need of a continuous crop of timber. Another is the pro
tection of tlie wiitcr-shcds of navigable rivers. Others concern pro
tection of the soil, beaut if ication of highways and otherwise barren
rcgibns and preservation of many .forms of natural life depending
upon trees and forests for their normal existence.

ARGUMENT.
JKH (ilNOKR, says tho earth is flat, it's fixed, and naught
ean move it, and be will bet bis Sunday hat that, be ean
amply prove it. He's always talking on this theme, and many
men who meet him inform him that, he's in a dream, and scorn
fully they greet him. And they insist the earth is round, al
though the poles are flatter; they stand and argue and expound
hedge, and whoop in earnest fashion; and Jake, whoso temper
the tilings that do not matter. They lean against a fence or
has an edge, soon flies into a passion. And soon there is a vul
gar scrap, damaged map, and some one's nose is broken. An
other has a twisted neck, a fourth one's teeth are shattered; and
all this scene of gore and wreck for things that never mattered.
e (finger called to me tonight. "The earth is flat as blazes;"
I assured him he was right, in calm and courtly phrases. I
, "I never took a walk on planets any flatter," and miss a
of foolish talk, while friendlv words T scatter. T do not
argue this or that with any human being; when Jake insists
the earth is flat, I'm prompt in my agreeing. And if he said
the earth is sipinre, or shaped much like a wiener, I would not
rise and paw the air with truculent demeanor. For argument
is waste of time, and swapping oaths is folly, and pulling whis
kers is a crime that makes men melancholy.

Tho young svife who summons her
mother to -.her aid In every crisis or
emergency is not without some shndow
of warranty, though I certainly sym
pathize with the youne huplmntl who
marries the whole
family like that. Hut
the huslmml who
makes his wife put
up with the criticism
of the in laws Is my
notion of the mean
est : man. Looking
at this problem from
the hnek dour -tho
point from which
the doctor niways
views life I should
say thut the Khi who
contemplates mar
riage wltli the kind of man that Is
likely to stand for any such thing: In
his home, would he wise to keep up
the contemplation indefinitely or un
til tlniproRpective in laws are all dead
or In jail.
Listen to this plaintive plea from
n k11 who apparently not into an aw-
iul nest of in laws:
"Dear Doctor:
"Will you kindly express your
opinion on the followiiiR:
"I maintain that clabber ndlk. 1
onions, saner krnut. cheese of all
kinds, 8k ins of baked potatoes,
etc., are all good food. The in
laws eye me with scorn and ak
Why I don't collect the parbupe In

"My family as well as myself
are lavish in the use of towels,
wash cloths and the like, and I
also helleve that the baby's dia
pers should not be Just dried and
used over again without washing.
Here the in laws claim that I must
have a kind of mania for work:
they declare that Ishould restrict
each member of my family to ono
towel an done wash cloth a week
and wash only that much, .
'Are my in laws right when
they say that the wearing of rub
ber soled gyni shoes all day on
gymnasium day In school will
cause sore eyes?
"MRS. '
Of course tho in laws are alsolutely
wrong on all three counts. They are
always wrong, of course. But where
is th? little Jjunny while all this is go
ing on the little rabbit who essayed
tho role of friend husband, the brave
youth who promised something about
clinging to his wife and pitching ev
erybody else to a warmer climate if
need be? Even if a husband hasn't
enough tenderness toward his wife to
prompt htm to protect her from the
lawless in laws, he should at least
have enough gumption and self re
spect to resent that Boft of interfer
ence in his homo life.
There is a way to be tho best of
friends with the in laws If they are
not hopelessly ignorant or narrow
and, yet make them understand quite
clearly that they're gonna get the gate
In a hurry the moment they attempt
to overstep the boundary of friend
ship. Home times the best medicine
one can administer to an in law who
is careless about that is banishment
from the household.. She'll come back
in good time and he a more livable
sort when she has had a good think
for (herse.lf. I sy she, though quite
as often the lawless in law is a he.
This may seem a little outside of
my province, more in the pastor's line
perhaps, but as a matter of fact the
behavior of these in laws has an im
portant hearing on the health of a
family, and besides, I'm afraid the
pastor won't speak out plainly enough.
In the halcyon days when travel
was a luxury of the well to do, a lot
of young people solved the in law
problem by simply moving a few hun
dred miles away to live. Henry Ford
spoiled that, and somebody should
now establish a short course in the
amenities dr propinquity or get out
some neat little volumes of hints tQ the
in laws which bride and groom might
present to the prospective respective

QUESTIONS ANT ANSWERS
Occupational Poisoning
My work consists of hardening
steel by treating it in a pot of cyanide
at a heat of 1500 and quenching It in
oil or water. I inhale tho fumes of
th cyanide both in heating and
quenching.. .Will this harm me? (W.
R. W.)
Answer I am not su9e what you
mena by cyanide. If it is cymion.
inhalation of the fumes is harniTtil,
even fatnl in concentration. Small
quantities produce nausea, m.adaehe,
vertigo ir dizziness, and if you are
exposed every day for a considerable
period perhaps gastritis, albuminuria
and serious disturbances of the heart.
Wherever such work must be done
there should be specinl veltilatlon
equipment, blowers or exhause 'ducts,
to carry away the fumes.
