Direct contact with the spray causes
blistering of the skin, and the yapor

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,
few mustard gas shells will result
in dangerous confusion and delay. A

Water DAMAGE to Flour.

1t is well-known fact among sail
ors that flour will not only float after
immersion in sea water, but suffers
very little damage. To ascertain the
actual damage, says the Northwestern
Miller, baker in New South Wales
submerged a bag Of flour In the ocean
and left it in the water 67 hours. A
9S-pound weight was necessary to sink
15O-pound bag, which would have
supported 70 pounds on top of the wa
ter, it is estimated, or half its own
weight. When lifted and weighed the
bag scaled 1J5 pounds. 1t was dried
for four days and yielded 120 pounds
Of perfectly dry -four, the bag and
waste weighing % pounds. Baked into
bread, 1t gave perfect results.

New York.-Considerabl concern
has been expressed at the large num-
Der Of fatal accidents reported from
our American military and naval avia-
ton training camps. Considering the
risks the novice necessarily takes and
the very special physiological and psy-
Geological factors that enter into the
science of flying, these fatal accidents
are few in proportion to the number
Of men undergoing training. and they
are not more numerous than those on
the training fields Of Great Britain,
France and Italy.
A perfect knowledge Of all the rules
Of the game of flying will not save a
man who lacks confidence In himself
and is inclined to hesitate A half
second of indecision may be fatal In
itiative, the sporting instinct and a
certain responsibility, qualities In
herent In American youth, have been
found of far greater value In the air
than the logical, scientific severely
disciplined character of the Germans
and account for the superiority of the
allied aviatOrs In general.
The most eminent of British scien-
lists have devoted special study to the
psychological and physiological as
poets Of flying.
| One authority says that good eye
| sight normal hearing, good muscle
sense" and equilibration are indispen
sable qualifications. But most impor
tant of all is the right temperament
not an easy thing for medical board
to examine. OF the types-the imagi
native and the unimaginative-the
imaginative youth is said to make the
better pilot If he can keep his imagi-
nation under control.
Surgical Operations No Bar.

history of wounds and disease Is thor

aches, vertigo and easily induced ia

with an anti-pneumonia vaccine, &C.
cording to q statement issued today
by the surgeon general This step
Is taken as a preventive to check the
spread Of pneumonia which results
so often from a severe case OF infiu-
enza.
More than 500 employees Of the War
Department have been inoculated,
the surgeon general announces.
Persons suffering from acute colds
or fever will not be permitted to
take the serum, as only persons in
perfect physical condition are fitted
to undergo the introduction Of vac
cine
Tests Of the anti-pneumonia serum
show that It Is highly successful More
than 1900 inoculations were made at
Camp Upton last winter and not q case
Of pneumonia developed among the SOL
diers 50 treated.
There Is practically no reaction from
the serum, according to medical su-
thorities, excepting & slightly sore arm.
Inoculations start today at 4 p. m.

These two children were put In the

Our fifth call was about ten blocks
from our headquarters. We found At

had died shortly before we arrived.
"win you christen my babies for

do, and after several trips we had
removed the whole family to the hos

who christened the sick children We
left the body of the baby who had

The sixth call was to Camp colum-
bia, q girls camp near the District
line, several miles from Glen. Echo.
We made the trip in fourteen minutes.
At the camp were two girl war work
ers, who had been suffering with in
fiuenza for several days. One of the
girls, an Indian, who had been living
at the camp for several months, we
brought out from the camp hospital
TO the ambulance on a stretcher. The
other girl walked to the ambulance
1t took only twelve minutes to make
the trip to the hospital. In q short
time both were in cots there.

Of nine persons, OF whom the mother
and seven children were in bed with

house and acting as nurse The house
was clean and tidy, showing he had
