Dr. Cross was lecturing on. ??Chemical War f?re" and explaining the n>e of'var-l ions kinds of Rases used, In modern warfare in making and repelling at tacks. Contrary to the belief of; most laymen, poisonous Rase* w r? first used by the British Xuvv. A British admiral attempted to use' sulphurs gas on his enemies but was advised by his Government not to carry out his plans because of the horror of such urutulity. It wan not so long afterward that the Germans let loose a gas at (nek at the famous at the famous battle ol Yprcs in April 1916, which spread terror amoiiK the unsuspecting French. | '1 he iihwI d?.idiy of the wartime Rases were chlorine and phosgere.

Then there are gases which are used In peace time such as those for fumi gation. deodorizing, and warnluR R**s us.jI in mines.

As lonu: as that demand continues, the business is.on a sure founda tion. But let that demand subsi 1c, and every other asset of the business is in danger of becomiti c a liability. In times of prosperity awl a rising mar ket there is a general demand for the products of industry that comes to be accepted as a,matter of course. I! is seldom listed among the assets of the business? it is simply assumed that it will always lie there. Hut. overnight, conditions may change?as they have done before ?? and the matter-of-course demand he comes conspicuous by its absence. The business, once strong and flourishing, is suddenly found to he in a very tight place. The ilchimiil h"<l not linn in KUi'cl?and yet the entire business de pended upon its roii/iniiqnn. The modern, economical way to in sure the market for any reliable prod uct is by Advertising to the pu'ilic which consumes it. Advertising creates a steadily increasing number of custom ers who desire the product, and ask for it by name. Changes in business conditions have little effect on a steady consumer de m;;nd for trade-marked articles of com mon use. The dealer may carry a light er stock, and for a short time the de mand through the jobber may seem curtailed; but just as sure as custom ers are calling on the dealer for the product, he is sure to supply it, aild or ders soon begin to flow in to make up for the temporary curtailment. The to tal consumption continues about the same. Any manufacturer who has an arti cle for popular consumption that can 1m' trade-marked has the opportunity to insure his consumer market and retail sales by means of Advertising. During the present business condi tion the manufacturers who have in sured their demand by Advertising are in a far better position?in every way ?than those who have trusted to the current demand that was not of their creating.
