Thierfeldt interrupted to say: 'My

Capt. Thierfeldt then spoke of de-

DRUNKENNESS AMONG WOMEN
WORKERS IN MUNITION PLANTS
Form Cordite Chewing Habits, the
Effects of Which Are Deadly.


Effects of Which Are Deadly.
LODON, England-Officials of the
ministry of munitions have discov-
cred that a good deal of the drunk
enness" attributed to women and
comparatively young girls is due to
another and hitherto unsupported
cause.-the chewing of cOrdite, the
smakeless explosive used in the shell
of cannon and the ammunition of
small arms.
The explosive is being used as a
sort of "pick-me-up" by the tired mu-
milton workers, but its effect on their
health is very injurious and remedial
measures are being taken by the au-
thorities.
Cordite, when chewed, has all the
exhilarating effects of a highly slim
ulating drug and cannot be tempered
with except at great risk It's effect
on the nervous system is immediate
and ultimately deadly. Besides, like
all such drugs, it has to be taken in
increasing quantities if the exhilara-
ton is to be maintained.
