An Independent Newspaper
The Next War.
Last week we presented an!
editorial article describing the
vast increase in the number of
pouon gases useable for wari
purposes which have been de
veloped since the Great War.
Herewith we present as a
further admonitory lesson to
the public against war, the fol
lowing statements descriptive
of the fearful effects which are
certainly to be expected from
their use in time of war.
General A. E. Ross, of Cana
da, doctor, chemist and soldier,
said recently:
“Three drops will kill. It is
a gas against which our masks
would be no protection what
ever. One part of this gas in
10,000,000 parts of air will put
a man out of action in one min
ute. It was tried on a herd of
goats and it killed all but four.
Twa planes could carry enough
to destroy the population of
liunu-un.
“The next war will take as
many weeks as the last took
years and civilization will be
blotted out. That is the pict
ure General Sir Ian Hamilton,
famous British military leader
and Chief of the British Leg
ion, drew in a speech to the
British Veterans of the Great
War.
The huge masses of infantry
on either side will never get in
to contact. The whole of the
mechanized motor-driven forc
es of either side will meet at
once under the sea, in the air,
and on the land. Each will be—
must be-rushing forward to
seize an advance base for their
aerodromes and oil depots on
enemy soil. That first encount
er will almost certainly decide
the war. The victorious tanks
and airplanes will eat up the
hostile infantry and artillery.
Then they will begin to lap up
the civilian population as a cat
laps up cream.”

The Educated Man
In view of much recent dis
cussion of the attributes of an
educated man, ten points laid
down by Albert Edward Wig
gam, noted author and lectur
er, are interesting. They are as
follows:
He keeps his mind open on
every question until the evi
dence is all in.
He always listens to the man
who knows.
He never laughs at new
ideas.
He cross-examines his day
dreams.
He knows -his strong point
and plays it
He knows the value of good
habits and how to form them.
He knows when not to think
and when to call in an expert
to think for him.
You can’t sell him magic.
He lives a forward-looking,
outward-looking life.
He cultives a love of the
beautiful.
Just for Fun

The fellow who expects some
thing for nothing sends ten
cents in postage for a system
to keep down coal bills, and he
roars like sixty when he gets a

1st Monkey (at the zoo) Ah,

“Were you one of those who
went fooling with the stock
market?”
“Not me, I was serious, the
market did the fooling.”
“Ya gotta cigarette ?”
“Sure.”
“Thanks; gotta match?”
“Great Scott! Ya didn't bring
along anything but the habit,
did ya?”
He: “Darling, I have a quest
ion I’ve wanted to ask you for
weeks.”
She: "Go ahead. I’ve had
the answer ready for months.”
Edgar Province says an old
fashioned girl blushes when
she is embarrassed, but a mod
ern girl is embarrassed when
she blushes.
Negro Undertaker (over tel
ephone) “Rastus, your mother
in-law just died.”
Rastus: “Is you sure 'bout
dat?”
Undertaker: “Shall I bury
her or embalm her?”
Rastus: “Don’t take no chan
ces, brother. Cremate her.”
“Ah don’t ride in them air
things,” said the old colored
lady, looking at a merry-go
round. “Why de other day Ah
seen Rastus Johnson git or. an’
ride as much as a dollah’s wuth
an’ get off at the very same
place he got on at, an’ Ah says
to him ‘Rastus,’ Ah sez, ‘you
done spent yo’ money, but wha
has yo’ been’ ”
