U. S. Had Deadliest
Gas as War Closed
Wasiiißfftwa. —A super-poison gas.
seventy-two times deadlier than the j
terrible "mustard" compound pro- :
pared by the Germans, was ready in
Cleveland for shipment overseas when
the armistice was signed, according j
to information made public here to-,
day.
The new gas was called methyl and ,
was the climax of this country's j
achievements in that line. It had the j
ftagrance of geranium blossoms, was j
highly explosive and burst into flame ;
with water. By early last November
enough of it had been prepared to j
wipe out the entire population of the
United states.
Major General W. 1. Sibert, in com
mand of the chemical warfare service,
was ready to fill his contract which]
called for 3000 tons of it on French i
battle fields in shells and drums to |
accompany Foch in his spring drive j
of 1313. Ten tons a day were being!
produced in the eleven acre plant at J
Cleveland.
Two days after the armistice was,
signed workmen began dismantling
the big plant. Difficulty was experi-j
enced in disposing of the great quan- |
tities of methyl. Cleveland did not f
want it dumped into Erie and ;
there existed no practical method to i
neutralize it chemically. Finally the:
gss was loaded into great containers, j
shipped to Baltimore by rail and car- j
vied fifty miles from shore, where it
was lowered jnto the ocean.

Coal Cannot Be
Mined Without a
Market For It
Last Summer about 45 per
cent, of the consumers filled
their coal bins.
Now, it more of these house
holders follow the same wise
course this year, there will no
no trouble. But, if they wait un
til Autumn or early Winter to
buy coal, not only will coal
/NOT be mined in any larg-e
quantity during this Summer,
but deliveries cannot be made
sufficiently to take care of
everybody.
Coal dealers cannot be ex
pected to lay in large stocks of
coal, which they must pay for
immediately unless the public
co-operates and does its share to
keep the market active. And
remember prices will be 50
cents higher next Fall.

Is a collection of twelve Roman

A number of the coins still retain
their lettering and the figures on
both sides. Several have representa
tions of rulers or soldiers, with spiked
crowns, while others bear crowns and
laurel wreaths. On the reverse of
one coin the outlines of an animal,
supposedly a deer, are plainly visible.
None of the coins is larger than a

Mr. Ilillyer so far has been unable

been issued during the middle ages.
