Research Men to Gather Data on Industrial and
 Scenic Interests

A stan of field and research work CTS representing the American Guide, will be engaged in Water- bury for the coming months, gatla~ ering detailed information on its scenic, historic and industrlal in- terests and possibilities. Detalled information on the proiect Was re- leased today by the works pr0grsss administration.
 Similar groups will operate from all cities of the United States Of 10000 or more people. The 1nfor- nation will be digested for The Guide but the original maps, exti- cles and photographs will be left with each City, county, and state, for use in preparing local guides These guides will supply a need that has not been adequately met by ex- isting compilations. Their contests will bear the stamp of authenticity placed on them by federal experts.
 Their descriptions will not only tell of well recognized matters of in- terest, but will also frequently re- vive the memory of others which have been forgotten or whose iu- portance to outsiders is unappre- ciated by those to whom they have become commonplace.
 As the articles for The Guide are prepared, checked, and put in shape to turn over to the state editors for digesting, they will be released to the local newspapers as sources for special articles and editorials. L0- cal unemployed people will be used as far as possible for gathering data.

 Milwaukee, Nov. 4 (UP)-Milwau- kee's week of bomb terror ended in the explosion that killed its per- petrator and an eight year old child, wounded II persons, wrecked two houses, and damaged 100 build ings, police announced today.
 The explosion heard for eight miles yesterday came while civic and veterans organizations were offering their services to police to halt an apparently mad bomber who set five explosions within a week. General fear had been demonstrated in sharp slump of attendance at public events.
 Bomber Identified.
 The dead bomber was identified as Hugh Frank Rutkoski, 2l, whom police said was carving on a one man war against society. Te was killed, they said, while experiment. ing with super bomb" believed to have been intended for the plant of the Wisconsin News which had offered 8 $5,000 reward for his cap- ture.
 The bomb was made of 40 pounds of dynamite. It exploded. in Rut- kowski's garage laboratory, blowing him and the building to bits. Patri- cia Mynarek, 8, playing with her brother, Conrad, in the Mynarek home next door, was killed and Con- rad was critically wounded.
 Ten Others Injured
 Ten other persons within a half block radius were injured and near by trees were uprooted. Rutkowski's body was torn into so many scar tered bits that police were not cer- tainw neither the pieces were of one body or two. Today they were in- clined to believe he had been the only person in the garage.
 Rutkoski was embittered by pro- tracted trouble with the law, police said, and was obtaining revenge against society in general. He had 8 record of nine arrests. Police be- lieved he had accomplices in the series of bombingS.

 Intense discomfort of the crude gas masks devised in the World War after the first really effective use of chlorine by the Germans in April, 1915, has ben largely re- lieved by the modern type of pro- tectors.
 The radical changes made since those days is clearly shown by the pictures of the old style U. s. army mask and the latest diaphragm type.
 The U. s. modelled its first masks after the British box respirator. Their great drawbacks were the nose clip, which prevented nasal breathing, and the mouth-piece, an atrocious annoyance after few moments of use.
 The American gas service later managed to do away with these.
 The mask now in use has been further improved. The whole ap- paratus is carried in a case under the left arm. The air is filtered by cocoanut shell charcoal and neu- tralized by granules of soda lime and permanganate in, the canister. The air passes through a tube in the facepiece and keeps the eye pieces clear. Masks are made to fit all shapes of faces and are of nodded rubber protected by stock inet.
