MUSTARD GAS WORST
Most Horrible Invention Huns
Use in War.
II Brings Tears and Causes Painful
Skin Diseases Among
Soldiers.

WashingtOn.-The most dangerous
kind of poison gas used by the Ger
mans is mustard gas" or dichloro-
diethysulphfde.
Mustard gas has a distinctive but
not altogether unpleasant smell, more
like garlic than mustard. 1t is heavy
and oily as a liquid. 1t bOils at pit de-
grees %centigrade. and thus has proper
ties whereby it can be distributed in
the form of "a spray Oh the impact of a
shell.
Mustard gas is a powerful producer
of tears. After several hours the eyes
begin to swell and blister, causing in
tense pain. The nose discharges freely,
and severe coughing and vomiting en-
sue.
Direct contact with the spray causes
blistering of the skin, and the vapor
penetrates through the clothing. Gas
masks, of course, do not protect
against this. The symptoms are similar
to pneumonia high fever, heavy
breathing and often stupor.
The damage done by mustard gas is
a slow and insidiOus development. The
breaking down of the affected tissues
is slow, the height being reached from
five to ten days after the burn is re-
ceived. The painlessness is also a
marked characteristic. Healing is
slow.
Mustard gas besides being used in
direct attack, is also used for "neutra-
liZation." For instance, where supplies
and ammunition are being brought up.
a few mustard gas shells will result
in dangerous confusion and delay. A
part of the infantry is "neutralized"
by having food and ammunition cut
down. If the shell hurts as well as
~neutraliZes, so much the better.
The American mask to fight mustard
gas is of the box respirator type. The
hood is of rubber. Breathing Is
through the mouth, pincers shutting
off the nostrils. The gas-charged air
enters through the bottom of the can.
listers, where by means of neutralizing
chemicals, it is purified. From the top
of the canister the air is drawn into
the lungs.
There is a one-way shutter valve In
the hood through which the air comes
out This mask is designed to last ten
hours. For artillerymen the war de-
partment has made an oil suit which
encloses the soldier bodily.

CLEANING UP FAIRGROUNDS.

Employes of the public works de- partment yesterday started to clean the rubbish from the property known as the Lander's playground, situated at Clark and Winter streets. It. is thought this action resulted from the agitation started by Health Commis- sioner Frank Riley who was backed up by the board of health. This property, which had been formerly utilized, as a children's place of re- creation, presented an unsightly as well as insanitary appearance after the snow. which the street depart maat piled up there during the win terEhad melted, leaving a. large quant- ity of dirt asd rubbish. This last spring the grounds had been left un- touched and numerous com plaints have been made by the health com& missioner who protested against such conditions.
