Franklin K. Lane, secretary Of the
interior, in his annual report, men
toned the work of the Bureau Of
Mines as to it's contributions to the
science Of war, although primarily its
work would be toward the saving of
lives instead Of toward "snuffing"
them out. The report says:
"When the Bureau of Mines was
created by congress five years ago it
was hardly to have been imagined that
the methods used for the saving of
life in the coal mines of the United
States would become of vital use in
the problem of saving lives and de-
strovine lives in world war; yet this
is lust what has happened.
"The soldiers kit, which was so
simple thing in other wars, has had
to be increased by a gas mask not un-
like the helmet of deep-sea diver,
with box Of chemicals adapted for off
setting the effects of the various kinds
Of gas the enemy is known to use.
"When we came into the war we
found ourselves prepared with the
knowledge, the machinery, and the
men to promptly meet the need of gas
masks in great quantity and of SUI
perior type. Thus the men who had
been on this work of meeting the
gases compounded in nature g labora-
