CANAAN SOLDIER BOY
 TELLS OF GAS TESTS
Asphyxiating and Tear" Gas Used for Training Men at Camp
 Devens.

The following is an extract from 8 letter from one of "Our Boys" at Camp Devens, Mass.
 Camp Devens, Jan. 6, 1913 Dear Friend:-
 Things are never SO bad but what they could be worse. The slippery walking we have here is like music if you don't O sharp you will B fat Many of the boys have found that to (flat).
 You may be interested to know about our gas masks which we all have had instructions in using. We practice holding our breath as soon as gas is detected in the air, holding it for thirty seconds. while the mask is being put on, which consists of rubber fabric which covers the whole face. There are two eye glasses to look through and two nose clips entirely closing the nostrils and there is & rubber mouth piece fitted into the mouth, which Is on the end of breathing tube leading to tin canteen which is held on ttSe chest by means If strap around tine neck and the canteen is filled with chemicals which purify the gas as 1t comes in at the bottom through an opening which is opened and closed by breathing so no gas can enter.
 We are soon to go through & cham Der charged with this gas to prove tho advantages of the mask. This gas Q very poisonous and if room weB divi1ed into ten thousand parts and one part consisted of this cborine gas it would be sufficient to kill person A person killed by this gas dies iH great agony. This shows how deadly ib 1 is IT ere is another gas called "teaS gas', which causes the eyes to water and produces temporary blindness; re- cenlty all were required to pass through a room filled with this gas. We had no masks ss 1t affects the eyes only and we remained in the room one minute- Everyone was crying when We came out of the room, officers and all, Y they went through with us. 1t was Ilaughable in a way, to see everyons shedding tears.
 This gas was far from pleassnt-B breathe as it had the smell of ethe1, and affected the eyes the same as onions when you are peeling them, only the gas was much stronger. aO course they said we hsd 1t in very mild form so suppose lover there" a per.on's eyes could not stand it, but tf would produce blindness for time, but rasses off after the gas is gone but it IS long enough to trouble the men on the machine guns so they make it point to be pro, ided with mask
 There is still another gas which Q not unpleasant to inhale, but produces heart trouble, if inhaled for short time. It will work out of the system if a person can be quiet for time. !, We have been having very cold weather here, but have managed to keep warm, some have had their ears nippod, but nohing serious has devel. oped.
 l think it Is fine to have one of the Csnaan boys with me. George Wilson IS going to fire one of the boilers st the heating plant and will take his meals in our barracks-nearly all the Canaan boys are near mo with the exception of John Graves aud Howard Brewster. We'll it is near mess hour, as we say here when it is time to eat, and will close.
 Sincerely yours,

Prominent Figure in Patriotic and Educational Circles of
 Adams.

The following article taken from a North Adams paper, regarding the new cashier of the Canaan National bank, will be of interest to the resders of this paper and as we'll as the patrons Cf the bank.
 William Smart of Adams, for a number of years clerk in the Grey lock National bank in that town, has resigned his position to become cashier of bank in Canaan, Ct Mi Smart is one of the best known men in the town and Northern Berkshire because of his unusual activity as treasurer of the Adams branch of the Red Cross society.

He is also an officer and energetic member of the First Congregational church. He was an enthusiastic golfer for a time and one of the leading mem. bers of the Forest Park Country club and also belonged to the Colonial club of Adams
 The acceptance of the new position will undoubtedly mean the removal from Adams of MT. Smart and his wife. She IS one of the very we'll known women of this section. She is president of the Adams Study club and is prominent in musical circles. She belongs to the North Adams Musical club and to the Berkshire College club of women. She is very highly esteemed in Pittsfield, her former home and in Adams and this city.
