BLAKESLEE NEW YORK-The gas surprise of this war is harmless carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the fizz of soft drinks, the collar on beer, the stuff that nature put in the air to make man breathe regularly. With all nations set for poison gas as a result of World War experience, carbon dioxide stole in the back way. It ferried the Germans across flooded Dutch lowlands and Euro- pean rivers. In an attack on England it will certainly be used for life saving, and might be one of the essentials of the threatened channel crossing. It is saving aviators on both sides from fire and from drowning. Used In Fire-Fighting The facts about the war uses of this gas come from Walter Kidde, New York engineer who was one of the pioneers in use of carbon dioxide for fire-fighting. He poured gaso- line into the hold of a derelict ship at London, lighted it and snuffed it out with jets of carbon dioxide before a surprised audience. A bottle about twice the size of the family quart-of-milk container is attached to folded rubber boats. It is filled with liquefied carbon di- oxide, which is carbon dioxide gas under pressure. The turn of a valve releases this liquid, which expands so fast it rush- es out as gas and inflates a large boat in a few seconds. That's how the Nazis crossed the water defenses of the lowlands. Similar bottles of the gas in three seconds inflate the rubber life rafts of aviators dropping into the sea. The fighter who has to bail out over water yanks a cord on his vest. This opens a tiny bottle of liquid carbon dioxide which inflates the vest to the volume of a life pre- server. Attack Over Water The extremely small liquid com- pass into which a huge volume of carbon dioxide will conveniently and safely pack renders it a formidable factor in attack over water. The gas is lightweight, can't be seen, is odor- less and has a very slight sharp taste. Catapult planes have automatically opening carbon dioxide bottles which pop open and balloon out rubberized floats for planes which miss the air- craft carrier or have to land on wa- ter. In the form of water wings, the carbon dioxide bags are used for land planes which have to fight over water. For fire-fighting, one of the new- est uses is British. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide at about 110 degrees below zero) is held ready at training fields. When. a cadet crash results in a flaming plane, the dry ice bri- gade, in asbestos suits, rushes up with projectors that send a snowstorm on the plane.

SIMPSON It will take time to disclose whether Italy's highly advertised offensives in Egypt and British Africa are the real thing, or just a minor part of the Battle of Britain in the Hitler- Mussolini strategy. There seem to be urgent reasons pressing on Germany to push the fight with Britain to a finish at the earliest possible moment, either by invasion of the island or starvation. It is a far-fetched conjecture to say that the Italian offensive means there has been a shift in roles be- tween the Axis teammates, as some London comment suggests, and that Mussolini's desert legions are to carry the brunt of the attack while Ger- many merely holds England under siege. There has never been any effort by the Nazi press or by Hitler him- self to conceal the fact that in Nazi eyes Italy was only a useful tail to. the German kite. Her function in the Battle of France was obviously merely a holding function. Actually, Italian attacks along the Franco- Italian frontiers seem to have been staged more for Italian home con- sumption than because they contrib- uted greatly to the defeat of France. It is well within the range of possi- bility, therefore, that Italy's drive to seize the Suez Canal is more or less a sideshow for what Mussolini knows to be impending in the Battle of Britain. Certainly nature con- fronts him with more formidable odds in the shifting desert sands his troops must traverse than even the English Channel-North Sea "moat" about England offers to Germany. According to Nazi conceptions, this has been a German-British war from the outset. Even France was of sec- ondary importance to Hitler. From his viewpoint, as reflected repeatedly in his public utterances, the war can even be personalized into a struggle between himself and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Brit- ain. The Battle of the Mediterranean outlets, whether the Suez Canal or the Straits of Gibraltar, will be lost or won in all probability in England. Mussolini is well aware of that. He probably also is aware that a com- pletely victorious Hitler would be apt to divide the spoils of victory to suit himself or in proportion to the amount of aid he had received from Italy. To date the Italian-British con- flict has brought no more than iso- lated skirmishing. Italy has not even succeeded in bombing the British out of Malta. She has not removed the threat of the British fleet in the Mediterranean. Rome press forecasts of an Italian "desert blitzkrieg" that could over- come lack of water, climatic condi- tions and all the other natural fac- tors that have made Egypt impreg- nable from the west for centuries do not sound convincing. if gliulli Have you started thinking yet how you'll look in the class room this winter, when all the other little coeds will be in their smooth new garbs? Make out your budget now so that you can start to think of new sweat- ers and skirts. The sweaters will still be baggy, but there'll be a surpris- ing comeback for close fitting wools. They'll probably still have the gros- grain binding but won't slip down on you hips so low, nor fall off your shoulders so loosely. The color scheme is to range from white through pastels to dark hues. Skirts will not vary quite so extreme- ly in colors, for dark is to be pre- dominant, but pastels will continue to be seen even in the winter. There still won't be much mater- ial used in the length of skirts, for they continue short, but it'll all go in the width. Skirts are to flair and flair in pleats, fullness or gores. A certain amount of belted tops are still in the offing. ( Blouses are sure to threaten the leading position of sweaters. In the fall and spring will be many tailored silks and cottons. Their decoration will be in the print rather than in the cut, although plain colors will hold their own. Checks and plaids should do as well as strips and dots. When winter turns on its full blast, flannel blouses, in short or long sleeves will be all-popular.
