TOXIC SMOKE CANDLE TO PLAY LARGE PART IN WARS OF FUTURE

- 'Bv Associated Press) -, PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2G. Toxic smoke candles, recently developed, will have an extensive, use in future wars, in the opinion of L. I. Shaw, of the Internal Bureau of Mines, who recently spoke on "Smoke and Incendiary Material," before the Franklin institute. "Smoke-candles, so called," he said, "are small cylindrical boxes which are Ignited by some sort of friction device and which contain smoke-producing mixtures. Their use Is in setting up a smoke screen close at hand, for after ignition they are simply set on the ground not being thrown or projected in any way. The need is very apparent to make the movements of small groups of men close at hand, possible. Many Requirements. "The British, early in the war, developed very satisfactory smoke candles which were used by all the allies. The Americans also developed a candle which was satisfactory, but which did not get into production and use in France before the armistice. The smoke is normally white, must have maximum capacity and be cool enough to prevent the setting up of air currents and thus rise from the ground. It must be heavy so as to be displaced by the minimum amount of wind of low velocity. These requirements are admirably met by candles which produce a smoke consisting of zinc cholride. "As regards the future of incendiary material, my own opinion, which opinion, however, is substantiated by at least some of the military critics, is that Incendiary material, except for small arms and long range shell and drop bombs will have at least a very limited, and perhaps no use. The flame projectors will probably never be used in a future war. Smoke material, on the other hand, will have a very extensive and ever-increasing use. By the, use of the smoke screen during an attack the casualties can be largely reduced. To Find New Use. "There was in progress of development by the British and Americans during the latter part of the war. smoke candles which would give a toxic smoke. The toxic material employed was diphenyl-chlorarsine. Diphenylchlorarsine is a solid which vaporizes in the heat of the candle and is obtained in such a state of division that it will penetrate most gas masks. Such toxic smokes, of which there will probably be others developed, will find a very extensive use in the future. It is the greatest step made thus far in the new use of smoke." PRESENT APPEAL OF' STARVING CHILDREN Without hesitation, the workers in Wayne county are continuing in th great $33,000,000 campaign for saving the lives of the starving babies of Central and Eastern Europe. Proceeds from a dance to be given by the Delta Theta Tau sorority in the I. O. O. F. hall Thursday nteht will go toward swelling the total funds being raised in Wayne county. Officials are now confident that the lor-pl county fund will exceed the $5,000 mark. This, however, is not. what Wayne county should do according to her population. All reports from Cambridge City point to a big banquet for th1 'inisible guest." The success of this feature of next Monday night will result in another substantial sum going into the relief treasury. price of iiHnifiMiniTumnmrtmtmiiniutmnnrninmfumiii Tractor Opposite Postoffice SERVICE, 1694
