To acquaint the men with the use OF

are equipped with the protecting de-
vices and put through a vigorous run OF

moments and the sprint is repeated at

comfort After numerous tests the men
in the class show that breathing is not
impeded while running.
To make the training still more prac-
teal the officers and men of the class
are exposed to the gases under condi-
tons Stimulating those in service. All
