we would gain, not lose, since Germany

1ustment Of the German r~eparations,

Bonar Law and Poincare submitted
their respective plans. and after two
days Of heated controversy each de-
clared the program of the other was
unacceptable. The British prime min
lister was he more emphatic In this
declaration and IL was he who abrupt
ly created the final rupture, stating
that II was useless to continue the
discussions. The British delegation
left for London Friday morning. Thus
the entente cordiale was finally
smashed.

Perfect New Gas Mask

Washington, April Io.-Develop- ment of universal gas mask, which fills every demand that may reason ably be made on a gas mask, and a hremen's canister, which Is smaller and lighter than the universal can ister, Is announced by the bureau Of mines.
 By the use of these types of gas masks, workers in many metallurgieal and chemical plants may encounter variety of gases, and city fremen may meet almost any type of gas or vapor.
 While the army masks gave pro lection against poisonous gases on the field of battle, they give no pro- lection against ammonia gas used in refrigerating plants or against carbon mOnoxide.
 Most noxious gases may be detect ed by their Odor or taste when they penetrate a canister. Carbon monoN- ide, however,, has no taste or odor; a man who breathes 1t may not be aware of its presence until he be- comes greatly weakened or nauseat ed, He. may lose consciousness with out receiving any warning. Carbon monoxide developed by an auto en- zine in closed garage Is most dead ly.
 Because of the danger from using an exhausted canister, a limit of six hours use is put upon the universal and four hours on the hremen's can lSterS.

OLD AGE PENSION BILL KILLED IN
 STATE SENATE

The "Old' Age Pension Bill" spon- sorcd by the Fraternal Order of
 Eagles and having the endorsement Of Organized Labor, was rejected in | the Senate after an unfavorable re- port ha dbeen received from the judic- iary committee by a vote of 28 to 6. The bill was introduced by Senator Harter and provided a pension of SI day for all persons over the age of
 70 and received its only support from the democrats.
 Those voting to reject the bill were: Doty, Bidwell, Trumbull Co., vert, Christoph, Beers, Golden, Bei- ciegel, Els, Rogers, Park, Wilder, Challenger, Atchison, Platt, Kenealy,
 Child, Ash, Brooks, Rudd, French,
 Pierson, DePeyster.
 Those voting to reject the com mittee's unfavorable report were: Dignam, Tone, Clyne, McGrath, Gibbs and Hartr
 Senator Joseph Tone of New Ha- ven, speaking on the industrial aspect Of the bill, stated that many workers were worn out in industry and needed help to keep them out of the poor house. He also pointed out that in great many industries age limits had OSNh PioNSu Oii tliC HI lIlS Ol eIIplOyeS in some cases as low as 40 or 45 years with the result that men of ad- vanced years were very often forced to lie when seeking employment. For these reasons, he said, some efforts should be made to meet the situa- ton.
 Senator AhcGrath also spoke in favor of the bill declaring that it would put a paddock on the aims house Ot the state" if the bill was passed. The bill was drawn by some Of the best minds in the country and had already been passed in several progressive states, and Is one of the most important bills of the present session.
 He declared that the state could we'll afford to assume the burden of properly caring for its' aged. Tt is a means to help the needy and unfcr- tunate and will let them die among their friends rather than i'll the poor house"
 Senator Els in reporting the bill said that while 1t had a very worthy motive 1t would involve large ex- penditure of money which he felt the state could not afford to spend at the present time.
 Senator Brooks also said he was in favor of the principle of the bill and would not oppose 1t because of it's expense, but stated his belief that It was a matter for the different local l itles rather than the state to care for. i
