Claiming to be a national pacifist who dislikes war and hopes it will be eradicated but who feels that a measure of national de- fense is necessary "for a generation or more to come," Professor Lewis shows by figures from the Surgeon-General's office that gas has been unduly black- guarded. Regarding its use on unprotected "Its use on unprotected cities is a doubtful military measure owing to the difficulty of effective concentration, combined with the risk in delivering it, and the possibility of the enemy neu- tralizing the attack with gas masks distributed among the civilian popu- lation. There is no such protection against incendiary or explosive bombs. That is the only reason the Central Powers bombed London from the air and shelled Paris with the accustomed materials rather than with gases."

WILLOW RO. High-Speed Service The Scenic Route 71 CHICAGO LOOP ANY people are inquiring these days about the new Skokie Valley extension of the North Shore Line now under construction. Here, in a few words, is the answer to these queries. The purpose of the extension is two- fold. It will enable the North Shore Line to offer even faster service between Chicago and Milwaukee. And it will open vast new home areas to those employed in Chicago. An existing arm of the Line, recently double-tracked, serves theLake County Countryside, including the towns of Libertyville and Mundelein. When the intervening tracks are complete early in 1926, fast transportation to Chicago will open this alluring home com- munity as Chicago's newest suburb. The Lake County Countryside, with its many fine country estates, has lo attracted Chicago people as a beautiful place to visit. But the absence of ade- quate fast transportation has pre- vented most people from considering it as a place in which to live. Now that is being changed. Thehills, trees, and flowers, the wind- ing country roadways, the pure air of the Lake County Countryside may be yours--yours to enjoy not only once or twice a year but all the year around! Here, already established, are good schools, and good stores. There are available, too, all the conveniences of the modern city home. Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad Co.
