garet, of 1926 North Liberty street, went
to Seattle, where they will visit rela-
tives. AS they formerly lived In Seattle

One of the new industries that has
attracted women because Of the war
situation is that of making gas masks.
At the Long Island gas defense plant
there are three thousand and ninety
women working in the production of
these war time necessities.
There are thirty processes concerned
in the manufacture Of the gas masks,
and although the work was entirely
new in the United States when the in
dustry started it was found that wo-
msn were capable Of acquiring SIKH
along this line.
The different parts of the masks are
prepared in others parts of the coun-
try and it is in this plant that the
parts are united to form the finished
article. Each distinct part is examined
before it is combined with the other
parts and in every department of the
work there are inspectors closely serut-
inizing for detection of flaws. AT the
completion of the mask over two hun
dred women inspectors test the finish
ed article to discover anything that
may be imperfect in the work.
One of the most interesting phases
is the part dealing with the testing of
the mask as to- whether each one will
properly and successfully allow the foul
air to be replaced by fresh.
