Paint Mist Protectors
Need Charcoal Lining

Surgeon General H. s. Cumming
of the United States Public Health
Service has announced the results
of an investigation to determine the
value Of respirators as a means OF
nrotection from the hazard Of spray
painting resulting from exposure to
lead, benzol, and silica.
This investigation has been made
by the United States Bureau of
Mines and the National Safety
Council in cooperation with the
Public Health Service. 1t is stated
as the result of the tests tina;
respirators with cotton, paper, Ol
fabric filters remove 80 per cent or
more Of the lead from air carrying
paint mist.
These respirators restrain none
of the solvent vapors, however; but
the addition of a canister or
cartridge of activated charcoal Ia
the respirator removes all solvent
vapors until the charcoal becomu s
saturated, the report says.

Will Ask Indictments
Authorities are prepared to obtain
indictments against six members OF
the Mafisti, they declared, as a re-
suit of evidence now in their hands.
Four prominent Italian contrac-
tors here, Assistant United States
Attorney Samuel Hoffman said, have
identified Capotosto as member of
the gang that tried to exact tribute
from them. Capotosto, police say,
has written 225 extortion letters in
the past two months. To the testi-
mony of the victims who identified
him was added that Of handwriting
experts.
Admits Knowing Pettiti
After being questioned all day Ca
potosto admitted that he knew An.
gelo Petite, who Is under arrest and
accused by authorities as being the
leader of the Sicilian extortion ring.
Both, police learned, are from the
same town in Italy.
Aid of the Italian consul here was
today requested in the prosecution
of the ring. 1t is hoped that he
may be able to influence other vic
Tins to come forward.
Evidence already in hand, how
ever, will be sufficient to obtain
convictions in the Ranieri case, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hoffman.

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
NOTES

With Memorial Day only two
weeks distant it is well to bring our
minds to the three-fold significance
OF the poppy. Why do we have a
Poppy Day?
First, because of the great amount
of good which is accomplished by
giving the disabled veterans the
chance to make them.
Second, the money derived from
the sale of peoples is the greatest
means of revenue by which the re-
Mobilization and child welfare pro-
grams are carried on. Poppy Day is
the one day the public is privileged
to contribute toward the worthy
cause.
Third. always in our hearts is a
feeling of reverence for those who did
not come back and on Memorial Day
we demonstrate this feeling by wear
ing the blood red poppy. Never for
get the sentiment of this flower.
The local Auxiliary is in receipt of
500 peoples and the members are
very anxious that we dispose of all
these peoples this year.
