Mt. View Lodge No. 179 l. o. o. f.
held a very pleasant meeting March
End, 1918, B. C. West, N. G. protein
presiding. The usual routine busi-
ness was disposed of.
Bro. w. H. Jernigan was reported
to be slightly improving; he is quite
feeble, is able to sit up but shor.
while during the last few days. He
has had seriously bad time, but
hopes are now favoring recovery.
He has been ailing for quite awhile.
Owing to some trouble with our
electric lights it was deemed pru-
dent by the Noble Grand, to defer
the work in the End legree as it was
feared that total darkness might c.
cur during the rendition of the work
The Host examined his lamps and
found that there was no oil, hence
the candidate was advised to call on
the 9th inst. at which time it Is
hoped the trouble at the hight plant
will be thing of the past. There
should be a good turn out at our
next meeting as an interesting time
is anticipated.

At each cantonment in the United

where every officer and man receives
instruction in gas defense. The Ameri-
can gas mask, similar to the British, is
as mechanically perfect as the best
experts have been able to produce.
The face piece, with glass or celluloid
eyepieces. is connected by a flexible
tube with q. canister carried in KNAPP
sack. The incoming breath comes,
through the canister, which Is filed
with several layers of chemicals which
neutralize or render harmless the gas
laden air. Outgoing breath passes
outside the face piece through small
valve.
The student in gas defense soon
learns to get his mask on in hurry, |
six seconds being the standard time |
when the knapsack containing the mask |
is hanging at his chest in the "alert"
position. After intensive training |
gas attack is arranged. The class is
put in trenches, and without warning,
clouds of smoke and chlorine are lib
Grated by the instructors, masks are
put on, alarms sounded. and !
sleeping men in dugouts aroused. /
When the attack ceases the trenches
are cleared of gas, the air is tested.
and permission is given to remove
masks.
