BLIND HUSBAND IS BEST
LONDON, May 23.—Blind soldier I
husbands are good husbands, and
they get good-looking wives.
Sir Arthur Pearson, head of St.1
Dunstan’s Hostel for the Blind, says |
so, from his observation of 109 happy
marriages of St. Dunstan patients.
These 109 bridegrooms are better
able to make livings for their famil-!
ies than they would have been had
they married before going to war. j
They are masseurs, shorthand writ-;
ers, telephone operator, carpenters i
and market gardeners, trained in their
new occupations at the hostels.
US ATTACKS NECESSARY
TO SMOKE OUT ENEMY
AMSTERDAM, May 25.—Professor
Haber, head of the Chemical Research
Institute of Berlin, has just been
awarded the Bunsen medal for a lec
ture on “The Relationship of the Ex
act Sciences to Militarism.” The
medal, it is stated, is no longer made
of gold, but “of the best German steel,
as is appropriate to the times.”
The lecturer argued that the war
has established the necessity for the
closest co-operation between men of
science and military organizers and
leaders. He said that “this co-opera
will be necessary as long as wars re
main necessary, and that will be for a
long time.”
Describing the development of the
use of gas in warfare, Professor Ha
ber said: “Gas attacks arose on both
sides out of the requirements of the
situation. Throughout history at
tempts have always been made to
smoke out the enemy when a war has
become stationary. The reason why
the use of gas is disliked by our ene
mies is that the use of protections
agaihst gas attack calls for a special
measure of discipline and intelligence
in the common soldier.”
