Help-Petitions Circulated Here.

Petitions 10 Iowa congressman and
senators were put in circulation In TINS
county today. asking the repeal of the
daylight saving law" and the restora-
ton of the old or sun time. The move
locally is part Of a state and nation

turalists and their friends TO rescind
a law passed as war necessity and
now claimed 10 be not only unneces-
sary for increased production of food
but rather resulting in decreased pro-
duction.
The petition in circulation in this
county reads: I'VE. the undersigned
farmers, home makers, business men
and laborers. do hereby request the
repeal of the daylight saving laT
(SR-1s5D Of possible) before the har-
vest season Of 1919, inasmuch as the
need of the law as a war measure has
ceased and il results in financial in

production, by a higher cost Of food
production, and by lowering the morale
of the farm help" The petition is adj

sentatiyes of Iowa in national con.
gress."
Expect General Co-ooeration.
1t is said that the $500 or more
farmers OF Marshall county were ex-
pected TO he almost unanimous for the
repeal Of the law and il was believed
that hundreds OF others interested in
the welfare of the aCriculturalist would
approve the movement. Previous ef-
forts TO have the law repealed have
failed but the promoters of the petit

farmers turnout the country.

cause Of the law. Work is not started
on the farms any earlier, sun time,

German Gas Production Only
lone Tenth of Uncle Sans When
|<War Came to End November II

most protective gas masks the world
had seen; and they brought these with
them by the millions" A total of s.
100000 masks were produced of which
100000 were sent overseas and the
report states that these masks gave
20 times the protection afforded by the
best German gas masks
No American soldier was ever gas
sed due to the failure of an American
mask" the report says, land such
casualties as did occur were due to
the fact that the masks were not
quickly enough utilized when the gas
was thrown over, or because the SOL
der was unaware of the presence of
gas"
The original order from the depart
ment was for $4,000 masks to go with
Pershing's first expedition and the re-
port tells in detail of the frantic eff
forts to procure them, efforts which
actually counted for little since the
masks were not used for many months.
At the time the expedition sailed, how
ever, the British and French were not
thoroughly acquainted with the gas
warfare that was developing nor had
completed effective protection been
worked out. In speaking of the first
German gas attack upon Canadian
troops at Ypres, the report says chic
rine was used and while protection of
the troops from it later became an
easy matter, 1T was only lack of faith
in their new weapons that prevented
the Germans from winning the war
with it then and there"
Had they brought into the fighting
a sufficient supply of this chlorine"
the report continues, they might have
gassed their way to Paris in short
order. AS it was, they brought to the
line an almost negligible supply and
they themselves were insufficiently
protected TO go through their own gas
and follow up the attack. By the time
they were able to renew gas warfare
the Ere nch and British had equipped
themselves with masks which were
sufficient to protect men against chic

Mask Development.

The report tells of the development
of gas masks from the original gauze
pads soaked in chemicals to the box
respirator" which came into general
use. The Americans and British en-
ployed double protection mask, the
face piece being gas tight but, to in
sure against leaks, a mouth piece and
nose clip being supplied also, insur-
ing protection even in a torn mask.
The first order was for 100000 of
these masks for the American forces.
Subsequently, to provide greater
comfort for the men, it was decided
that a single protection mask would
be sufficient, the risk of leaky masks
being regarded as preferable to the
discomfort of the double protection
type. When this decision was received
however, on this side, it was decided
to carry forward experiments with
new types of mask which would give
both comfort and security. This was
carried forward TO a point where a
squad of $50 men in the field testing
section lived in their gas masks, work
ing, playing baseball, digging trench
es, fighting sham battles day and night
in which actual gas grenades were
employed and exposing themselves to
the heaviest concentrations of deadly
gases under all conditions.
THE work of this section" the re-
port says, even went so far in the
case of the later designs as to include
test where six men worked, played
and slept in the masks for an entire
week, only taking them off for thirty
minutes at each meal time, ana each
day entering high concentration of the
most deadly gases without injury to
the wearers."
The chief ingredient of the protec-
ton against gases 81 carbon, which alb
serbs the gas instantaneously. Cor
coanut shells formed the best supply
of carbon that could be found and the
known world was raked by American
| representatives to secure what was
! needed. In addition enormous quaint
ties of fruit pits and other nut shells
were secured and the national cam
paign to increase the supply of these
ingredients met with great success
The slogan Eat more CocOanut," the
report states, increased the consump-
ton in the country more than 100 pei
cent in a very brief period of time
and in October, 1918, the government
was obtaining from all sources about
$50 tons per day of cocoanut shells
The fruit canneries of the Pacific
coast supplied 100 tons a day il
apricot, peach and cherry pits am
walnut shells and the campaign lee
by the American Red Cross to induce
The public to contribute fruit pits anC
nut shells was in full swing when The
armistice was signed. 1t is estimated
that 1000 tons of material was collect
ed by this means.

duced were 377, 1881 horse masks which
