Secret of Deadly Gas
Held by United States
For 25 years the United States has
kept the secret of gas whose effects
are more powerful than many
panzer divisions and air squadrons.
gray-haired W. Lee Lewis, Evanstnn,
11L. inventor, i?M recently.
Lewis, retired chemist and university
professor, one-time eolonel 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 offensive
use cannot be overestimated.
He called it "a World war memento,
but one whose importance two
decades of chemical research have
not erased."
It was not produced in wholesale
quantities until just before the armistice
in 1918, Lewis said, and was
not tried in the war.
"But it is more humane than mustard
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 respects,"
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 remains
contaminated for a long period
of time. Rain or moist atmosphere
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 executive.
Before long, he predicts, planes
will make no more noise than automobiles.
tiow will planes be silenced? i
By reducing the speed with which
the propellers rotate without reducing
speed of shipe, says this authority,
much noise will be eliminated.
Secondly, new mufflers are being
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 exhaust
upward, Instead of downward
additional quiet is achieved. So, try
to be patient when you are awakened
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 southern
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 fortune
seeking of the Spaniards who
settled in the Americas.
Before the war the people leaned
heavily on British and German purchases
of bananas and coffee. German
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 nation
more than $4,000,000 to complete
their section of the Pan American
highway.
Soviet Vessel j
Has Vital Job ]

Breaking Trail Through
FroMP Seat.
SEATTLE.?Faced with the necessity
of breaking a trail through
the frozen seas of the Far North so
American aid can be dispatched to
Soviet armies via the "roof of the
world," the 330-foot Russian icebreaker
Krasin is undergoing repairs
here." ~T ~
The Krasin is one of the largest
ships of its type in the world, and
its hull resembles that of 'a submarine.
Driven by 10,000 horsepower,
it is particularly adapted for
the gruelling task. '
Under the command oipCapt. M.
Markov, the Krafinl n%?i spring
must open a trail via tne Bering sea,
the Arctic ocean and into the White
sea as far as Murmansk and
Archangel. In 1922 the Krasin, with'
Markov in command, was the first
to negotiate this perilous route.
Task Is Difficult.
Ice-breaking in winter is a difficult
task, even for a vessel the size
of the Krasin, the captain explained,
because ice closes astern almost instantly
after the vessel's passage.
No cargo ship could follow.
In the spring, however, the "trail"
will last days, then weeks, providing
a vital supply line to the Soviet.
The route covers 10,000 miles, entirely
unhampered?to date?by enemy
vessels.
Markov was decorated by the
Soviet government in 1934 for his
heroism in command of the Cheloskin,
an ice-breaker type of cargo
vessel, when it foundered and was
crushed in ice north of Siberia.
Since then not a ship has been lost
along the route.
The Krasin's rounded sides and
blunt bows enable it to rise on top
of ice when the floes close in. Otherwise,
the gigantic pressure of the
floes would crush the vessel. By a
rolling process, achieved with fill
ing tanks on either side of the ship,
the Krasin can break through ice
with its keel. !
The Krasin's 10,000 horsepower is
more than that of a giant ocean
steamer.
Doesn't Fear Japs. <
Markov does not fear Japanese
intervention in the north Pacific.
"Japan is too weak to hinder our
operations," he said. "We can hide
in the ice, if nothing else, and there
isn't a Japanese commander afloat
who would dare follow us. The ice |
is our friend."
Likewise, Russia does not fear
enemy intervention in the White
sea, Markov said, adding:
"There are 42 ice-breakers work- .
ing the White sea. No enemy can I
follow us in, because they have no
ice-breakers."
2,000 Frogs Fly Atlantic
To Help Great Britain
LONDON.?Two thousand United
States frogs have just been flown
across the Atlantic for war-time
service in Britain?the first in history
to make such a hop?but 75 per
cent arrived dead.
The frogs were sent by the American
Red Cross in a Ferry Command
bomber for experimental and
instructional use at St. Mary's hospital
medical school.
British scientists formerly bought
frogs locally and on the continent,
but the war cut off continental supplies
and the blackout makes it impossible
for frog catchers to use
bright lights at night.
