SInW RECOVERY OF
 FRENCH INDUSTRY
White Goods Manufacture Retarded V Ky Shortage of Flax, Due to
 Russian Isolation.

Armentieres, Dec. 29.-Recovery of the white goods industry in France from the blow dealt by the war has been retarded it is said here, by the shortage of flax, due to the isolation of Russia, the great source of supply. Notwithstanding the lack of raw ma terials however, the industry which before the war centered in 32 mills here and employed more than O,OOO persona in the district around Lille, is steadily growing in rebuilt facto riea.
 Only 1,500 persons are at work in three mills here as compared with 16,000sy employed in 1914, according to inform ation given the correspond ents off the" Associated Press today in theseeoutWe of his governm ent-ar- ranged trip. to the war-torn regions. Only one of these, it was stated, is turning out linen or cotton sheeting. Power in the other two plants is Available only at intermittent periods bacause the Germans took away gen. orators, boilers and copper fixtures with tho result that the mills are forced to resort to makeshifts to get electric energy.
 + In Ar1nentieres alone, when the war broke out, there were lo,OOO iooms and spinning machines. Most 9f hfese werG carried off by the Ger mans and, the rest were stripped of their Valuable parts or disabled. Gov ernment statistics say the linen in- .sustry as q whole has resumed oper- atioQs on one-third of the mills but with only q little more than six per s1nt of tho pre-war force. Officials express confidence that the manufac- tl1re of white goods will be at full output within two or three years.

 For some strange reason, the native Virgin Islander believes in wearing every article of clothing he can lay hands on.

MAY ELIMINATE RUBBER GAS TUBES
New Fork City Authorities Arc !tCOnteInpIating This Step to Prevent Deaths from ASplyxiatiOn.

sMew York, Dec. 29.-Steps to save life by forbidding the use of rubber gas tubing are contemplated by the city authorities, it was learned today. As tine result of disclosures by the medical examiners office that most of the city's accidental asphyx1ations in cbid weather are due to leaky rubber tsIbing connecting pipes with gas heaters, an ordinance has been intro duced in the board of aldermen re- during metal tubing or pipe to be used.
 Forty-six accidental deaths iron, gas occurred in New York City dur ing November last and AS in the cor- responding month a year ago, the figures being more than doubled with the arrival of winter. Medical exam fners found that tubing was the cause in three-fourths of the cases. In many instances the rubber was worn by use so that it leaked and gas flooded the house while the family was asleep Sometimes a memb Der of the house Hold steps upon the tube inadvertent- lg and shuts off the flow of gas for aal instant.

PITTSBURGH WOMAN
 MADE FIRST MASK
American Said to Have Discovered Charcoal as Poison Gas
 Absorbent.

Pittsburgh, Dec. 29.--It is claimed that the first gas mask based upon the use of charcoal for the absorption of highly poisonous gases from the at mosphere, the principle which in ac- tual practice was so valuable to the armies in the world war, was made by the late Mrs. J. E. Garner of Pitts burgh. This statement is made at the Mellon institute of research here.
 Mrs. Garner the wife of the director ~of research of an important natural gas company here, became interested in the experiments her husband was conducting in connection with the gases which at that time, early in 1915, had appeared on the battlefields of Europe. When the principle was once established, the institute de- clared, Mrs. Garner designed and made d dozen gas masks of the can- ister type, and in June, 1915, they were handed over to the representa- tives in America of the British gov ernment. They were sent to England and from this first design other gas masks were made. ..r
 When the United States entered the War full details of the experim ental work, and all apparatus that had been employed were supplied to the govern ment. Mrs. Garner, whose husband is a fellow of the Mellon institute of re- search died a year ago.
