War's Two Worst Terrors Beaten By Scientists!

TWO of war's greatest horrors-death from the air by mustard gas and incendiary bombs-have been broken at-last.

Scientists in England and America have discovered chemicals that greatly reduce the power of mustard gas to kill, and of incendiary bombs to set fire casily to property.

Professor Bullard, of Hobart College, New York, has the antidote to mustard gas-dreadful oily liquid that is dropped in bomba upon towns in wartime, or sprayed from aeroplanes.

MUSTARD GAS NOT ONLY KILLS IN ITS GAS FORM. IT EATS THROUGH THE CLOTHES, AND IF ONLY A DROP FALLS UPON YOU, SHOCKING BURNS CAN RESULT.

But now the professor has discovered a chemical that, when soaked into clothing, turns mustard gas in liquid form into harmless powder.
