Millionaire Leaves Bride Out of Will

£2,000,000 Fortune For Mother.

NEW YORK.

THE will of Daniel Dodge, filed recently at Pontiac, Michigan, revealed that his nineteen-year-old widow will receive nothing of the £2,000,000 estate left by the heir to the Dodge motor-car fortuné.

While she is cut off from the will, Mrs. Laurine Dodge -who was a £3-a-week tele- phone girl-receives £50,000 under an agreement made before the marriage.

Mr. Dodge, who was twenty-one, leaped into Georgian Bay, Ontario, after he had been injured in a dynamite explosion, and disappeared as his wife watched.

That was on the thirteenth day of their honeymoon.

The bulk of the estate goes to Daniel Dodge's mother, Mrs. Alfred G. Wilson, with small bequests to other menibers of the family.

On the subject of gas raids he says: "Such raids will not be carried out for a perfectly simple reason. A great many more people can be lilled by a given weight of high- explosive bombs than by the same weight of gas,"

HOME OFFICE GAS MASK CRITICISED

Now, that is a reassuring statement on gas attacks, and one continually made by a Home newspaper.

Professor Haldane, however, cri- teises the Home Omice civilian type of gas mask as tested by the Dally Express. He says that it is extremely hard to fit on the face, and that it is much less efficient at stopping smoke gases thon the service type, and even if it good enough to deal with the smokes at present known (which some people doubt), it might fall against ย more penetrating smoke.

The professor gives us welcome news about incendiary bombs.

If he is correct, we may never hear the cry of "Fire" in London. He says that incendiary bomba have been tried in Spain and proved in- <ffective. Many were used on Madrid, but they did little damage. He, however, belleves that an enemy may try incendiary bombs here on factories and food stores.

THINKS WE MUST BURROW DEEP

Haldane declares that it is from the high-explosive bomb that we must protect ourselves. That is the menace from the air. He has no con- fidence in balloon barrages, fighter planes, or anti-aircraft guns to defent air-raiding enemy bombers. He ad- mits, however, that anti-aircraft guns did good service both at Valencia and Barcelona.

Haldane takes the view that these weapons cannel give reat protection to our cities, and that therefore in time of war we must burrow deep into the ground.
