CHANCES
Perfect Life Destroyer Not Yet Discovered
New York. Dec. 12.
Suner-poison gas, canable. of wining Fout entire cities and destroying huge chunks of enemy territory, has been debunked as "an unattainable ideal" and. a creation of sensation morigers by Capt. Alden H. Waitt, U.S. Chemical warfare service.
"Mr. Average Citizen," Waltt said in the December Scientific American, "is convinced that there are dozens of new and secret formulas tucked away in the locked files of war offices of the world ready to be brought out at the first suspicion of war, so that friendish brews may be prepared and used for his destruction...

OUR SUN IS ONLY A DWARF
New York, Dec. 12.
CHANCES that forms of life similar to those on the
carth exist elsewhere in the universe are held to have been considerably increased as a result of a new "star
census."
This census, reported to the National Academy of Science at Charlottesville, Virginia shows that there is a large number of stars resembling our sun than had been previously believed.
According to some observers the amazing increases recently made in the estimated numbed of the starry `host heightens the probability that there are suns with planet families in the same state of evolution na our own.
Given equal conditions,, similar results, such as the ap- pearance of life, could be expected.
The stars are roughly divided into "dwarfa" ni "giants." Most of those seen by the naked eye are giants, and our sun is a dwarf..
Latest studies of the heavens, however, reveal many more dwarfs, and the census appears to indicate that, while tho giants are concentrated in the neighbourhood of the Milky Way, the dwarfs increase in regions of the universe which are farther away, and rench 35 per cent, of the total.
Millions Lost In Fake Sweeps
Americans are spending over a million pounds a year
on fake lottery tickets sent from abroad.
This is one of the amazing re- relations just made following a big haul of over £20,000 worth of fake tickets in one bundle in one- European mail.
The newest fake tickets dis- covered were in a large trunk and the tickets purported to be those of a French lottery. All were proved to be spurious.
The appetite for "million-to-one chance" of a fortune is enormous Among the classes of people in the United States-where lotteries are illegal.

The ideni super-war gas, Walit anid, must possess the following eight characteristics:
1. It must be effective in small concentrations; a few parts. In a million parts of air should either kill or disable.
2. It should be difficult to protect against. "Every modern nation now has developed first class protection against gaa," Waitt explained: "The new gas should attack all parts of the body....or break through the mask."
