The best fire gun record by General Porter is the reduction within two minutes of three siderable part of the distance toward its target, until a time fuse causes the can to burst, and the incendiary bombs scatter over a reduced area.

The flame-thrower too is old in war. The in 424 B. C. used a primitive one to defeat the Athenians at DeliUm. Theirs was a bellows inserted in a hollow tree.

A cauldron of pitch, sulfur and charcoal produced the flames. The American gun is not really a flame shooter, but. a liquid fire gun, shooting blazing which will splash around corners and continue to melt and burn the objects it strikes. This jelly has made flame cles, which ignite spontaneously, in the air. These adhere to flesh, clothing, and other surfaces.

They can be extinguished by water, but burst into flame as soon as dry again. Where incendiaries at the beginning of the war made up only about five per cent of the American bomb loads, General Porter writes that of late the average has been many times, that, and in some instances there have been all-incendiary loads. He adds that in many situations the' aerial fire, bombs pay greater dividends per pound of weight than does its high explosive comrade. to artillery shelling. Lexington, Ky.

(P) Merle E. Robertson, Louisville, president of the Kentucky Bankers Association, ex The goon gun is another new and effective chemical warfare weapon. The name was given by chemical mass which forms the contents. White phosphorus, although one of the older incendiaries, was rated in publications shortly before this war, as not highly promising. Methods now have been found for distributing it very' effectively.

The phosphorus disperses small parti engineers to the 4.2 inch mortar, which fires either chemical shells or high explosives.

BLAKESLEE i Associated Press Science Editor New York, Americans are, using lour kinds of fire in this war, magnesium and thermite, both metals, oil and -white phosphorus. They are using these fires in seven types of bombs and in some flame guns which are new both to science and war. No other war in history has used fire on so great a scale, although fire is one of the oldest weapons.

Twenty-five hundred years ago the Assyrians used a liquid fire which probably was oil from the seepage of the Iraq fields. Perhaps the earliest mention of fire is Samson's exploit of tying firebrands to the tails of 300 foxes and sending them into the grain fields of the Philistines. Samson was a good tactician, for he tied the foxes in pairs, tail to tail evidently to snag them on grain and insure spread of the fire. The famous Greek fire is not used In this war. This weapon was the invention of Callinicus and was used by the Byzantine emperors.

Its 6ecret is not certain to tiis day, but was pitch, sulphur, naphtha and quicklime. Its effectiveness probably is exceeded by some of the jellied oils which Americans are using. The growth of the use of fire in this war is told by Maj. Gen. William N.

Porter, chief of the chemical warfare service, writing in the Merck report, a pharmaceutical house organ. The seven types of bombs range Business is good, getting better at all Parker's stores. There is a reason! Are you one of the. many customers that take advantage of these low campaigns, and focus attention on the real, vital issues to the end that more votes could be cast on sound rather than foolish premises." The people, asserts this educator, "are the human spark plugs of our social and political machinery. If we blast the men and vehicles in oie open with high explosives.

Goon guns also lay down smoke screens. In Italy one battalion, with 38 of them, built up a smoke screen wall three miles long and nearly 1000 feet high, and maintained it for 18 hours. Without using poison gas, for which they are equipped, the chemical warfare service men are so active that in the Italian campaign alone up to April 15 last, 726 officers and men had received individual decorations. New listed but not described, are the flame tank, which puts fire guns behind armor, the atomizer which is a water-proof flame gun, and the amphibious smoke drake, a large smoke generator. Other new items are in development.

General Porter says, which necessarily must remain secret for the time being. New York, (JP) Perhaps the cold calculations of science will be the deciding factor in some future elections Perhaps scientific analysis of the candidates, scholarly non-partisan weighing of issues, will strip away emotionalism, take the venom from whispering campaigns The possibility has been raised by two new proposals to improve are not competent, democracy will fail. And, in the same manner, tne main 'drawback to all our bright formality and readiness to make do with compromises. Dr. Cattell acknowledges that an objective public diagnosis of candidates might lead to what has been called Nevertheless, he suggests: "Maybe Hitler would never have gotten past a clinical psychologist." In the opposite field that of making better voters Dean Harry J.

Carman, of Columbia college, New York, suggests a non-partisan organization to help citizens vote more efficiently. Such a group, probably representing all parties, would not attempt to influence voters, he says, but "it would try to lay the ghosts of false issues, emotionalism, and whispering post-war plans probably is us. Dean Carman further advocates "social engineering" to devise inventions to overcome defects in modern social and political machinery. "In scientific and technology, the the functioning of democracy.

An exponent of a test for political candidates to help "determine their fitness for office, is Dr. Raymond B. Cattell, professor of psychology at" Duke university, Durham, N. C. A graduate of the University of London, recipient of honors in England for his work in personality studies, and the author of several books.

Dr. Cattell says: "Practically any problem you turn to ends up as a problem of personality. Whether you are looking for the causes of war, trying to improve education or grappling with the rise in unemployment, the solution will finally depend on some gain in understanding the workings of personality. "Personality measurements are used more and more for vocational guidance. Why not go a step further and apply them to the individuals aspiring to the highest vocation America offers? That would be the presidency.

Dr. Cattell has devised a method to measure the personality of an applicant for any job. He started out by taking all the words in the dictionary which describe personality (more than 4,000) and, through elimination of synonyms, reduced the number to 171. Testing these against several hundred individuals showed many- traits frequently found in combination, further reducing the list. Finally Dr.

Cattell came up with about a dozen basic personality "factors" by means of which, he believes, any personality can have its main outlines blocked in. The list includes: General mental capacity, character integration, extraversion, neuroticism, rigidity and a "Bohemian" factor which is descried as encompassing such traits as geniality, warmheartedness, carefreeness, in FLOWERS For All Occasions!

Waves Aid Injured Navy Airmen Jacksonville, Fla; (JP) When plane wrecks occur in the vicinity of the Naval Air station here the WAVES "crash corps" stands by to give aid to the injured. Ambulances and Red Cross crash cars rush to the scene of disaster and bring the injured crew to an emergency room at the station.

Under the supervision of Navy nurses and doctors the WAVES work side by side with hospital corpsmen in preparing dressings, giving transfusions and other emergency treatment. The more seriously injured, or those who need surgical attention, are given prompt care in the station hospital's operating room. Here WAVES act as technicians and surgeons' attendants. They give oxygen and transfusions, prepare instruments and surgical supplies. Of the hundreds of crash cases the naval station has cared for, a hospital doctor says, the WAVES have been on the job day and night and are so efficient the staff is able to give victims the best and quickest attention possible.

In the station hospital WAVES are specifically attached to the Medical Corps. They act as nurse's aides and in addition" to routine duties they spend many extra hours reading to the injured men, and writing letters for them.
