Vesicants are blister-producers. Mustard gas, which is really an oily liquid, was called "the king of battle gases" although it was seldom fatal unless its vapor was inhaled. Masks were of little use, since mustard gas penetrated ordinary clothing and shoes easily, raising huge red welts which sometimes ulcerated and always laid the soldier low for a month or more. When splashed around by shells it contaminates everything it touches for days. It is therefore more valuable for defense than offense, since it is impracticable for attackers to move forward through a mustard-shelled area. Mustard was not introduced...
...attorneys, John W. Davis and Joseph M. Proskauer, declared that "no decent and no proper motive" moved Cities Service's plaintiff stockholders. Mr. Doherty, they said, had been induced to sell the 200,000 shares by Cities Service directors in order to make his estate more liquid in the event of his death. Because the selling price was $17.50 below the market, Cities Service actually made a profit of from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000 on the deal.

...does not melt to a liquid but sublimes directly from the solid state to vapor. When this takes place under confinement, the vapor is formed at high pressure.* Everts and two associates designed a power unit consisting of two small tanks containing 25 Ib. each of dry ice. Sublimed, this delivers a pressure of 1,000 Ib. per sq. in., which is stepped down by control valves to 250 Ib. before being applied to the water hose. Last week
Unfortunately some blundering student happened along in the meantime and pumped the pump handle in passing with the same indifference that he would pull a fire alarm. But when he saw the foamy liquid gush forth into the trough, he let fly all thoughts of indifference, inertia, and psychic income, and lunged toward the dwindling stream of beer...
...First book-form biography of Mrs. Simpson will be published this week under the title Her Name Was Wallis Warfield.* It also contains one of the "sparkling epigrams" for which Mrs. Simpson has a reputation. The epigram: "Soup is an uninteresting liquid which gets you nowhere." Almost an epigram was Mrs. Simpson's crack when British friends suggested and subsequently arranged that she should be presented at Court in 1931 to their King George...
