Are Regarded Too Dangerous Ik lroiKrtion to Their Effectiveness In War. Taris. After a good deal experimentation the French army has gives up lta-ttempts to use liquid air as a high explosive In warfare, because of its extreme susceptibility to detonate from shock. Tremendously successful experlmenta were made with this volatile agent at first, but they were successful only under perfectly agreeable conditions. For Instance, bombs for bombarding aero planes were made with liquid air aa the explosive which some judged to be a hundred times more powerful than bombs of a similar size employ ing picric acid or any of its prototypes.

But it was soon learned that the sudden descent or even rapid swooping of twi aeroplane carrying liquid air zombs might set off the dangerous cargo. It happened on one occasion. Au aviator dipped suddenly, and nothing was ever found of him or his machine. Then the bombs were carried over elaborately prepared targets and drop-red from captive balloons. The effect of the explosion was marvelous.

Instead of reducing the target to matchwood and wreckage, the detonation actually wiped out every vestige of th place where the huge, cumbersome target had been. It was estimated that the concussion of the explosion would have- killed any living creature within lo0 yards. Shell charged with liquid air cannot of course be fired from any projectile, the shock of firing would detonate the explosive and wreck the gun. Attempts have been made use liquid ii ir grenades and liquid air bombs In trench mortars, which are fired by a spring, much as a catapults missile is projected. But the extreme "touchiness" of the explosive has out- weighed its wonderful detonating qualities.

The Germans also have fatted to utilize liquid air thus far. SCOUT NOTES.

No Angola Mother Should Neglect the Little One's Health. Often times weak kidneys causj great annoyance and embarrassment to children.
