NURSES DON WAR
 MASKS FOR TEST
Sixty Young Women Learn to Identify Various Gases
 By Peculiar OdOrs

Fort Dix, June 2O-Sixty Fort Dix nurses donned gas masks and filed through gas chamber containing tear gas, phosgene. Lewisite, mus. tNfd gas and ehlorpicrin today in their first class in defense against cheMloal warfare, Under the tutel. age of Captain Harry J. Karakas, Fort Dix Chemical Officer, the girls shifted the various gases ia order to identify them by thelr properties,
 They learned, for instance, that chlorptertn has the odor of flypaper, Lewisite of potted geraniums, phos- gene of new.mown hay and that mustard gas smells like garlic. They learned too, how tear gas affects tho tear duets and came through tho smoke from Q sample bomb with their eyes streaming.
 Ooiffuers were sacrificed to edu. cation as Captain Karakas and Lieutenant Colonel Alfred 0. Day, 4Ath Division Chemical Ofticer, showed the girls how & mask should he adjusted. Later they filed through a tent that had been set up as c tear gas chamber to test the effec- tiveness of the masks. The nurses came through the chamber unaf. fected, but brought enough of the gas out with them to All tho eyes of . knot of unmasked spectators with laehrymal fluid.
 It was the first class of It's kind held at Fort Dix for nurses, and a large battery of newspaper photog. raphers was present to record the event, The presence of the numer- ous photographers led one ofslcer. spectator to remark:
 We've been giving whole divi- sion the same Kind of training ell Winter and all Spring, and not one photographer shows up"
 To which 6 fellow ofiicer replied facetiously: "Well, you ain't so purty."
