 Recent elaborate defense drills ccntering about the great Chisel- hurst Caves, a short distance from Londcn. supplied authorities with data frcm which a country wide protective scheme will be worked out.
 While the movement is not be- ing conducted with the fervor that has marked the efforts Of European neighhors to maka their people s"gas horror" conscious, John Bull is, nevertheless, getting out his gas mask5 and looking the problem in the eye.
 Ron Made Gas-Proof
 Articles have begun to appear all most daily in London papers, de- scribing in detail how ordinary rooms may be rendered gas-proof and prescribing simple, easily ob- tainable remedies for victims of mustard and phosgene gases.
 Squads of workers are being trained to call upon millions of home-oWners and give quiet dem ongtrations of gas-proofing. The first Of these init5 partiei- pated in the sham attack on Chisle- hurst and learned to treat victims while planes droned overhead and the air was filled with yellow smoke.

Arm Torn to Shreds.
I didn't lose consciousness imme-
diately. I remember the other driver
sailing over the top of my car. I
can still see my motor coming in
through my dashboard. And I'll never
forget grinning stupidity at my left
arm, which was torn into horrible
shreds from knuckles to elbow. The
bones and tendons were clearly ex-
posed and could see them moving
as I tried to move my fingers. I
didn't know then that anything else
had happened. I felt no pain, but I
was terribly sick and shaky. I sensed
panic coming on, too. and thought:
Gosh! I'd better get to q doctor
with this arm!" I reached for the
door handle with my good hand,
opened it, and fell out into the road.
I tried to get up. Pain such as I had
never known before tore through my
pelvis and hips and knees. I glanced
at my legs. The right one was dou.

Awakened by Pain.
Days later-nine days, think it
was-the pain in my chest woke me
up. 1t was as though some one was
sticking knife into me at each
breath.
There's a hole in your left lung"
the doctor said. "Its what we call q
spontaneous pneumo-thorax. That
lets air into the chest cavity. The
comparative vacuum on the other side
has drawn the heart over on the
right side"
And then he told me the rest Of the
story. Both kneecaps smashed, the
right hip badly dislocated, the left
hip-joint shattered, several fractures
through the pelvis, forty-some stitches
in the left arm and hand and that
gaping hole in the left lung. I was
in cast from my knees to my chest
and all could move was my right
arm. Six hours Of expert surgery had
saved the left from amputation and I
would spend, in all probability, the
