mouthpiece in his mouth and adjust
the bands over his head. The nose
■clip can easily be adjusted from the
outside after the face piece is on.
This nose clip insures that even if
the fabric of the face piece should
be pierced, the soldier would still
' be breathing entirely through hi*
mouth.
For every mask made, there is at
least one extra canister. These can
isters are detachable from the tube.
When a canister has lost its effi
ciency, it can be detached, and a
new canister put on.
About the first thing a soldier
■wants to know about a gas mask is
r *
how much protection it affords him
The best answer to this question i:
that the present American masl
affords more protection than an]
other device in existence. The chem
icals in the canister will neutraliz<
the heaviest concentration of gasei
for a period of at least ten time;
; longer than the possible duratioi
of any gas attack.
In every knapsack is a record can
on which each soldier must ente
the time that his mask has beei
exposed to gas. This record, com
bined with subsequent examination
makes it possible to judge accuratel;
when there is any danger of th

Red Wing Re«che» Town Late After
a Rather Difficult Trip from
Fairbanlu.
The launch Red Wing, under com
mand of Jimmy Moore, reached
Jtown at a late'hour last night from
Fairbanks. She sailed shortly after
wards for the Tolovana country,
taking George A. Coleman, manager
of the N. C. store at Fairbanks, as
i passenger.
On her way down the launch had
\ the misfortune to run on a bar,
where she was held fast for a con
siderable time, necessitating the un
loading of a part of her cargo and
the transferring of a passenger, H
B. Parkin, to a passing lanuch down
bound.
It is stated that a considerable
quantity of sugar, which formed j
part of her cargo, had been stacked
on the bar pending completion of
some minor repairs and the refloat
ing of the craft; the backwash from
a passing boat caused a wave toj
wash over that portion of the bar!
on which the sugar was landed with j
1 a resultant cave-in of a portion of
1 the bar and the loss of some of the
' sugar.

, | Wrhile the main fucntion of the
r field supply section is to supply gas 1
; masks, it is also responsible for the |
! supply of all other gas defense
equipment. This includes masks for
horses, which consist of several lay
ers of fabric which are impreg
nated with neutralizing chemicals.
Trench or flapper fans must also
be supplied in considerable number.
Oxygen inhalers and oxygen bottles
for use in field and base hospitals
are also supplied in large numbers.
Instruments for the detection of gas
and the spreading of gas alarms are
necessary. These consist of horns,
rattles and special detecting boxes.
MEETING TOMORROW
There will be a special meeting of
the Red Cross tomorrow afternoon
at the rooms of the Nenana Club.
New business will be taken up for

index to the things that are re
quired the following list of articles
will serve as a guide.
Practicaly any metal scrap, espe
cially brass, copper, zinc .lead, sil

trinkets, discarded jewelry, old re
volvers, old telephone batteries, tin
foil, percolators, tungsten lamps
(which contain a tiny platinum fila

smallest or discarded wool garments
of any nature, have a value to tht
Red Cross, even though they are ol
no value to you.

The material thus obtained was ad- |

big posters put up at various places
around town, setting forth this fact.
For some time they were satisfied
