DEADLY GASES AND RAYS CALLED FAKES General Pries Says Reports Arg Greatly Exaggerated Washington, Nov. 21.—Published | reports of the development of now | polson gases with “super-natural powers" of destruction, or of the evg| olution of death dealing rays of ter- rible effecttveness, are both “ridicul- | ously erroneous” and “eerlously mis- | leading,” Brigadler General Amos A. | Fries, chief of the chemical warfary aervice, asscrts In hls annual report recounting the progress made dur- ing the last fiscal year by the army | chemlsts “All known rays and power obey | certaln definite laws,” General Fries | sald, adding that the same restric- tlons applied as well to gases, “Here and there advances are made in un- derstanding those lawe and direct- | ing them: but it s believed proper | and safe to say that no real sclen- tist can yet foresee the day when| such control of these substances is | possible that life and machinery can | “be destroyed at anything but short | distances—dlstances too short for | any considerable use in war.” General Fries emphasized his statement that it was the business of | the chemical warfare service to “keep abreast of all thess devel- opments,” and to instruct the army and navy in the handling of chem- | icals of all kinds. In obtaining in- formation as to polsonous chemi- cals, he sald the service was expert, | adding: "It has more Information on poisonous chemicals than exists in any other finstitution in America | and possibly in the world.” | Emphasizing the uses already found In peace times for thie in- formation, Geners Fries pointed to the development by the service of the theory and method of treating| colds and other discases of the nose, throat and lungs with chlorine gas| which had already grown into the| eatablishment of clinics throughout the nation and in the guccessful ap- plication of the method to curing in- flucnza among horses and cattle. | “It s not a panacea,” General Fries sald, "but wherever the| chlorin® can reach the germs of the discase in sufficient concentra- tions 1t will kill them. The most | startling side of this work has been its cure of whooping cough. Prac- | tically 100 per cent of whooping cough cases have hecn completely cured, or the distressing symptoms nearly banished. It §s a boon to childhood such as i3 not found once in a generation.” Another beneficient use found for | war chemicals had been the appil- | cations of tegr-gases to assi he | police, General I'ries said, “Like| chiorime it is a boon to mankind | and particularly to those who arc | charged with the thanklces task of | upholding the law In eriminal cases.’ | General Fries also spoke of the research work in connection with using poisonous compounds to pro- | tect wooden structures from marine borers, and the efforts to control holl lepredations In cotton states, adding that ths opportunities for such work as this through chem- lcal research are houndless.

' GEAR SHIFTING IS | LIELY O CHANGE French Motor Engineers Trying o Bliminate It Parls, Nov, 20.— The death of the gearshift In automobiles often has been announced, but the funeral has never taken place. The iatest ad- vance ntice of the passing of the gearshift and the d.flcrentlal {s a complicated mechanism shown first at last year's auto saicn, and exhibit- ed again In perfected form this year by one of the best makirs of France, It has been tried for two years on | trucks and some test cars, but proh-‘ | ably won't get on the market until next year, It is a series of ratchets automatically thrown Into action | progressively as the car gains speed | 50 that the motor, continuing to turn | at a normal specd, applies its powe r| at what corresponds to a very low | gear at the start, and at an increas- | ingly higher gear as the speed in- creases, until direct drive 18 seached. As thero is neither differential nor | gearshift the driver has only to| start, let in his clutch and step on | the accelerator, The amount of gas alone determines the power applied, | and the sped is dependent upon the power required to move the car. Besides simplifying a car, mechanism 1s intended to obviate shock to the engine and prevent | stalling the motor. 1If a heavy load | were put suddenly upon the engine the mechahlsm automatically would adjust itself, changing the gear to a lower one that would allow the en- gine to maintain an efficient speed while propelling the car at a lrv\\'fx': rate. this Pope Urges Priests | To Enter Politics Munieh, Nov. 21.—Catholic priests are not only permitted, but are urged to participate in national pol- itics, Pope Pius told German cle gymen recently, according to the Bayrischer Kurier, The clergymen were attending the German prayer apostolate and were received in audlence by the Pontiff. . “The’priests have to enlighten the community and to direct consciences according to the stable laws of God and the church.” ' LYCEUM i UNITED STATES METHODS BEING USED BY MEXICO That Country Becoming “Americans fzed” In Opinlon of German Geographer Hamburg, Nov. 21.—Mexlco is be- Americanized,” in the opinion of Dr. Karl Sapper, geographer of the University Wuerzburg, who has turned from a tour America, Colombia and coming rapldly of recently of Central Venezuela, The tour was undertaken at the re- | quest of the Geographical Soclety of | Hamburg.
