SECOND FLOOR Wilmette 3400 AH ULLRICH Prez CHEMICAL WARFARE TO BE DEMONSTRATED HERE North Shore Coast to Be Scene of Experiments by Institute of Chemistry Areoplanes over Lake Michigan lay- ing down smoke screens and going through various other maneuvers of chemical warfare in the air will be a part of the program of the Institute of Chemistry of the American Chemical society which will meet at Northwest- ern university from July 23 to August 18. The last day of the institute will be devoted to chemistry in war, and at 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon of August 18, residents of the north shore will have an opportunity of seeing an actual demonstration of the part chemistry plays in war. These demonstrations will be arranged in such a way as to be perfectly safe, it is promised, but at the same time spectacular. Many widely known lecturers on various phases of chemical warfare have been obtained by the institute. One of these is Dr. W. Lee Lewis, di- rector of research of the institute of American packers and former head of the department of chemistry at North- western university. During the war Dr. Lewis was in the chemical war- fare service. His most important achievement was the direction of the group of scientists which was respon- sible for the development of Lewisite, the one toxic material developed dur- ing the war which was more deadly than mustard gas. Dr. Lewis will speak on "Science in National Defense," and will call at- tention to the fact that chemistry by no means stands alone in heading mod- ern warfare. He will show that all sciences, even such apparently harm- less ones as psychology and astron- omy, play important parts in modern warfare. Following is a list of the other speak- ers with the subjects of their talks: H. Edmund Bullis, executive secre- tary of the National Association for Chemical Defense, "The Reaction of the General Public to the Use of Gas in Warfare." Col. Harry L. Gilchrist of the United States army, "Present Problems of Chemical Defense." Colonel Gilchrist is the outstanding medical authority on the after effects of chemical war- fare casualties. Byron C. Goss of the Lake Erie Chemical company, "Peace Time Uses of Chemical Warfare." Mr. Goss is an authority on the use of tear gas and similar agencies for checking crime. Dr. J. E. Mills, director of research of the Chemical Warfare Service, Edgewood Arsenal, "Present Problems of Chemical Defense." Many of Dr. Mills' discoveries have no direct bear- ing on warfare, but are regarded as of the greatest value in peace time problems. Major General Paul B. Malone, commanding general of the Sixth Corps Area, will speak on "National Preparedness." General Malone is one of the outstanding authorities in the country on this subject. Rain Prevents Tennis Matches at Indian Hill The tennis matches which were to have been held last Sunday between the boys and girls of Indian Hill and Skokie Country clubs at Indian Hill were postponed because of rain. The matches will take place July 4 instead. This is the first of the triangular matches which will be played during the summer between Skokie, Indian Hill, and Winnetka. The club will be opened to the members and their friends.
