HOW GAS
MASK IS
TO WEAR

Dear reader, how would you
like to walk a mile or two at a
stiff gait with a clothes pin on
your nose?
That's part of the training that
Sammy is getting at Camp Lewis.
He is learning the use of the
gas mask and the gas mask is a
contrivance that suffocates and
blinds and deafens until one Is
used to ii.
Just what gas mask looks like
and how IL is built are things
that the censor won't tell but suf-
flee to say 1t makes a man look
like monkey and feel, accord
ing to its victims, like mummy
The mask fits tightly over the
face and a clip passes over the
nose so that the wearer must
breathe thru his mouth and draw
air thru the chemicals which will
neutralize the effect of the deadly
gasses that Fritz Is fond of blow
Ing into the trenches of his enc
mics.
The French officers who are
helping the men here become ia
miliar with the mysteries of trench
fighting declare that after a few
days at the front the soldier be-
comes accustomed to the masks
and is able to work and walk in
them without discomfort.

the remarkable conquest Of adver-

fate whirled from comfortable
Russian home to the life of wash

But fate was no match for Mrs.
Falkoff's ambition and fighting
motherhood.
Three years ago she left Russia
to escape the terrors of the old
regime. Her father fell under the
suspicious of the cars agents be-
cause of his liberal thinking, and
advised her to take her two chill

When she landed at Home Col

children and nothing else. She
was alone in an alien land and
practically an exile.
She determined to give her
children and herself an American
education. School days for the
three of them began, and at the
discouraging work for the heroic
mother. Mrs. Falkoff washed
clothes, worked in gardens, helped
at farming and at other hard
tasks for money to keep going.
This is her reward:
Last June she was graduate
ed from the University of
Washington, having COM
pleted the four-year course in
three years, besides making
up the fOur-year high school
course necessary for univer-
sity entrance. She did all this
and supported herself and
family.
Her two children, Emma,

Especial TO The Times. }


NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-For the
first time In history woman, whose
place is said to be in the home, is
to have a full and free opportun-
ity to say how the home shall be
built.
A woman architect, Miss Mar
ella Mead, first woman architect
to graduate from Columbia uni
versity, and whose firm has al
ready achieved fame in designing
model homes, is in consultation
with government committees
studying the big problems of how
to house the workers crowding
the industrial centers where Uncle
Sans munitions and supplies
must be made.
Miss Mead believes women
will have to take hold of the
housing question If houses are
ever to be made into homes.
IF woman's place is in the
home, then a house has to be
made a home and not a place."
she told me.
Proves Ability.
Miss Mead has already proved
she can design houses housewives
will bless. She designed the
model homes the Bridgeport
Housing company is erecting now.

I believe 1t is the principal busi-
ness of the worlds governments to

and BEAUTIFUL places to live
even II they are cheap. ! have
never found a house without some
thing the matter with 1t from the
woman's point of view. SO / de-
cided women ought to take a
hand in house planning"
Miss Mead has uprooted the
most sacred ideas of men archi-
tects and builders in her plans for
Bridgeport's new houses. THE
SINKS IN THE KITCHENS ARE
ACTUALLY 3S INCHES FROM
THE FLOOR, instead of the usual
back-breaking "a inches. There
are two washtubs in all these
houses, instead of one that the
mere man builders insisted was
enough.
No Inner Court.
From time immemorial men
have built kitchen sinks and wash
trays too low. In consequence
hundreds of thousands of woiAen
have bent their backs and short
ened their lives needlessly," de-
clared Miss Mead.
II had a terrible time inducing
the Bridgeport Housing Co. to put
in high sinks. And imagine a
woman trying to do the washing
in one tub!
1.-THE men working with me
would not hear of raising the
washtubs to the proper height"
she said. II had to take a piece
of board to represent a washboard
and show how l would have to
bend over to do the washing to

Miss Mead shattered other time

There is another thing every
house, even the smallest, should

Every family should have a

did not want its own front door
and its own backyard.
"The federal government will
undoubtedly have to go into the
business of housing the hundreds
of thousands of workers and their
crowding our Industrial
cities to produce the things the
government must have to win the
war. But this housing effort-a
billion dollars Is little enough to
start it-shall be carefully carried
out. The house that will do for
New England is not the kind for
the Middle West. People, city,
climate, everything must be
studied.
And WOMEN, who have to live
In houses more than men-ought
to be consulted"

Gen. Pershing was also enthu-
