BRITISH CHEMIST FORSEES
USE OF HARMLESS GASES
IN NEXT WAR.
Invention of a “stagger pas” for
the next war leavinp soldiers and
civilians unharmed, but making
them unable to stand up straipht or
even to know whether they were on
their feet or on their hands, was
forcast by Maj.H. S. Blackmore, a
chemical warfare expert of the Brit
ish Army, in a recent series of lec
tures to the London Red Cross
Society on first-aid precautions
against poison war pases.
The pas or other war drup which
Maj. Blackmore forsees would af
fect the balancinp mechanistn inside
he human ear by which a human
beinp senses whether his head is up
ip'ht, inclined or upside down, aer
ordinp to the Baltimore Sun. Dis
ease of this part of the car causes
vertigo.
Two of, the war gases already
used are not seriously poisonous,
but are intended to affect the eyes
or nose. One of these is the “tear
gas,’ now used much by police to
stop riots, and is able to make the
victims eyes water so badly that he
cannot see and is incaoaeitated. An
other is the sneeze pas used in the
last war and xyhch makes its victims
violently hundreds of times in quick
succession.
What Maj. Blackmore forsees is
some similiar material able to para
lyze temporarily the human balanc
ing mechanism in the ear, so that
persons • exposed to this material
would be totally unable to stand up
and could do nothinp but stapger
about or lie helplessly on the ground
until rtm effects of the g»s wore o f.
NUDISTS DIE YOUNG.
S.Louis.— Nudists are making a
serious mistake by exposing them
selves, so entirely, to the rays of
the sun. Dr. Carl Loeb holds that
sunlight increases tile speed of meta
bolism and causes the human body to
ape more rapidy, when given in
such an “overdose.” Although the
human body requires some sunlight
it-^loes not warrent the complete and
consistent exposure, as advocated by
the nudists, he says.
“What is your husband’s occupa
tion?”
“He makes waste paper baskets
-—terribly prosaic, isn’t it?”
“Oh, no—there can be a lot of
poetry in waste paper baskets.” —

Russia Ranks
2nd in Gold
Production
NEW DISCOVERIES SHOW
VAST RESERVES.
Russia attained second place in
the producion of gold last year, ac
cording to Alexander I avlovich
Eerebrovski, chief of Soviet gold in
dustries. Russia’s auriferous sands
and mines, he sraid, yielded about
$100,000,000 worth of gold. Canada
ranked, next with $(13,000,000. tae
UnitedL States with $45,800,000 was
was fourth. Comfortably ahead of
aR stood the Traiisvaal, with
$238,900,000. In the first half of the.
year (1934), Smith African gold pro
duction declined 6 per cent.
In a few veaws,. Comrade. Sere
brovsky hopes; Russia will overhaul
the proud leader. “We., have the
richest gold reserves in the world.
The gold dust reserves here are in
exhaustible. So many have been
discovered recently fhat we literally
do| no know where to start first—in
the Urals, North Caucasus, Kadfc
kstan, or in some’ other rich field.
Prospectors and geologists have
combed Russia from one end' to the
other to locate n-w deposits. After
their intensive searches last year the
estimated gold resources of Kazak
stan, which ^orders European
Russia, jumped t •> enty-fold. Among
other far-flung gold'fields, Comrade
Serebrosky anticipates rich hauls
from the Transbaikal region east of
Lake Baikal and > from the Altai
Mountains in Western Siberia. But
Russia still gets 69 per cent of her
gold from the basins of the Lena
and Aldan Rivers whose golden
sands have yielded the precious com
modity for more than half a cen
Yakutsk, famous for its frozen
mammoths, extends from thp Arctic
Ocean to Far Eastern Republic in
the south. It i, the largest and one
of the. bleakest 'tf .$b4et Republics.
Its remote gold Camps, which include
schools, hospitals, and club rooms,
! are accessible by motor or wagon
only during the wintefe six months’
freeze, when swampy roads harden.
During the rest of the year gold
workers can reach the outside world
only by air. ' >'■
To speed gold poauction Commun
ists have imported American engi
neers and spent money lavishly for
machinery and equipment. Ponder
ous dredges no * scoop up sands
which earlier prospectors panned.
Soviet engineers claitp • the industry
throughout the union is more than
70 per cent mechanized.' As proof,
they point to 148 factories, 85 elec
wilderness power stations, and hun
dred of miles of povverf* lines.

COPPER STOCKS SHOW A
DECREASE.
NEW YORK CITY.— Although
American stocks of refined copper
fell 32,000,000 pounds in July, world
stocks of the red metal showed a

cause of additions to stocks in other
nations.
Apparent domestic consumption
was 154,000,000 pounds compared
with 166,000,000 pounds in June,
indicating that disturbed c ndilions

Stocks of copper in refineries in
the United Staes at the end .of, .Juty
were 497,000,000 pounds, a decrease
of 69,060,000 pounds while stocky",at

HOBOES NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER MODERN TRAINS.
The advent of a streamlined train,
with promise of more to come, has
brought alarm to Jeff Davis, the
“King of the Hoboes.”
“How is anybody going to ride
rods on that hing,” he asks.
Accordingly, on his motion, the
hobo convention at Cincinnati has
proposed that railroad coach, fares be
made one cent a mile, so that, hoboes
will be able to ride.
In case anybody wonders' where a
hobo gets a cent, King Jeff explains.
Hoboes, he says, as he said-before,
are not “bums.” The official name
of their order is International Itin
erant Worker’s Union.
As Jeff expresses it, a hobo is a
man who thinks the world owes
him a job and he wanders around
seeking it while a tramp thinks
the world owes him a living and he
will not work to get it.
A third class tare such ns the
hoboes seek is not likely. If they
should obtain it they would not en
joy its benefits alone.
TAKOTNA GARDENS.
If there is any cutsider who still
thinks of Alaska, as only a land of
of ‘ice and snow, a visit to Takotna
gardens this fall would dispel any
such idea.
