ARMY GAS MASK
HAS LIMITATIONS
But It Is Adaptable Under Certain
Conditions for the Use Of Fire
men in Buildings.

Warning that the army gas mask,
while capable of giving protection
against the deadly gases met on the
battlefield, does not protect against all
the gases or atmospheres encountered
in mines, in the industries and in fire
fighting is given by the United States
bureau of mines.
The dangers from gas that city fire.
men face and the need of standardized
methods of protection against them
have been pointed out. The need Of a
knowledge of such gases on the part
of city firemen has been especially en-
phasized by over confidence in the ca
pacity Of the army type of gas mask
to protect the wearer against indus
trial gases, an assurance that has prob
ably arisen because soldiers were
taught that the United States army
gas mask would protect them against
all the gases they might encounter
This statement, true for the battle
field but not true for all industrial
gases, including products Of combus-
ton, has been brought back by soldiers
and spread generally among workers.
: Furthermore, city firemen and mine
operators have been clrcularized with
letters and advertisements of army gas
masks offered for sale by certain per-
sons who made unreserved statements,
probably through ignorance, that his
masks would protect wearers in mines
and burning buildings. The falsity OF
these statements was evident to the
bureau of mines, which took steps inn
mediately to notify the public that
army gas masks had serious limita-
tions, especially when used in fire
fighting or in any place where unusu-
ally heavy amounts of poisonous gas
are present. The warning has been veri-
fed by the actual experience of some
city firemen who have tried army
masks On the other hand the excellent
qualities Of the masks have also been
demonstrated at fires.

why There Are No Women Clowns.

The New York Evening Mail asked a
famous clown now with a circus why IL
is that there are no women clowns.
since they seem to have taken up ev-
erything else in their efforts to make a
living. His answer was TO the effect
that women will not make themselves
look ridiculous.
Take n man clown, for instance be
said; che doesn't care how funny you
dress him or how foolish you make him
look, because men. as a rule, haven
natural vanity. But give woman ri
diculous costume and make her paint
her face in red and white checks, put
on false set of feet seven sizes too
large, and what have your A lady
clowng No-a resignation"
Then he goes on to say that women
haven't a sense of humor when the joke
is directed against themselves. They
hate To be laughed at. Men don't. They
are better sports. They like joke and
can laugh at one that hits them as well
as at those which hit other people.
The only exception that need be tax
en- to the clowns statement is where he
says men have no natural vanity. That
is not true Men are as vain as women
but in a different way. 1t is really
vanity that induces a man TO act the
clown; he is so vain he is willing to be
laughed at if il shows his personality,
as he imagines it does. At least it az
tracts the attention of his fellows
and that is vanity. With man il is any
thing to win applause, whether il is
u 4
apparel, but woman is not willing to
strive for applause if it is to be won
only by disfguring her form or fea-
lures Woman knows that form and
features are a part Of her stock in
trade and she has too much sense to
undervalue them through distortion

Campus, Giant of Solar System, Out
classes Sun.

Campus, the giant Of the solar sys-
tenn, is, according to recent calcutta
ton, 10000 times as bright as the sun.
Its diameter is 1874 times that of the
sun; II is $4,000 times larger in sur
face and l420,000 times larger in vol
nme. The distance from us, according
to this calculation, is 4S9 light years.
Suppose that instead of being at this
enormous distance it were placed in
the center Of the solar system, in lieu
Of the sun. 1t would then occupy .s5 of
the space lying between the orbit OF
Venus, and as seen from the earth
would subtend an angle of about 20
degrees per arc. Thus, when its lower
limb was on our horizon it's upper
would be within 20 degrees of the zen
it'll. Needless to say, no life could exist
on earth with such neighbor.- Wash
