report Of Dr.. Francis Carter Wood,
director Of the George. Croker special
research fund Of Columbia university.
Thousands Of mice which had been
raised for research work were turned
over to the government. The mice

sensitive to gases than human beings.

announced that mice had been sent

Mice React to Gas.
One Of the: most common troubles on
submarines has been from chlorine,
due to wet batteries. The mice react
to the gas long before it is dangerous,
or even perceptible, to the crew. thus
enabling them to find the difficulty
and repair it before the air becomes
90 tainted as to be dangerous. In the
British army hundreds of canaries
were used,-as well as mice, for the de-
lection Of gas. In addition to supply
ing thousands Of mice to the govern
ment, the George Croker special re-
search fund raised enough, however,
to supply many medical schools and
research laboratories throughout the
country. /,
The other use Of mice in the wat
was in discriminating between the va

different times. Different types Of the
disease are treated differently, but II
is often found impossible to discrim.
mate between the different classes Of
symptoms in men. When mice were
inoculated with the germs, however.
effects were produced which readily
classified the disease.
