 GERMANS CLAIM
 NEW NERVE" GAS
 These conclusions and remedies, of course, are based on Dr. Hide brands World war experience. They do not take into consideration such things as the nerve" gas, reported to have been used by the Germans against the French and Belgian forts two years ago. which paralyzes the brain for several hours, which is not fatal.
 Of the various gases used in the other war, the tear and sneeze gases are demoraliZing and incapacitat- ing, but not dangerous. The second type, which includes chlorine and phosgene, seriously affects the throat and lungs and is fatal in large doses. These gases, however, are light and rather easily dis persed. Immediate and complete rest is the best treatment.
 Dr. Hildebrand expects that mus tard and lewisite, the blister gases, will be most used if gas warfare should start now. They are per- sistent, and though a decontamina- ton squad can clear an area in a short time, untreatcd areas may be uninhabitable for several months.
 Mustard gas may be recognized by its odor of mustard or horserad- icI, ard lakxxyicikn er,aAIIc Tsly~ .-o~o.. iums. However, Dr. Hildebrand doesn't recommend your memoriz- ing the smell of every gas. Gases may be disguised with other odors, or person may forget what he has learned in the excitement of a raid So the best ard safest thing to re- member is the bath and rest treat ment
 Besides first-aid treatments, Dr. Hildebrand offers some comforting statistics. In the first world war, gas killed only about per cent of those it affected-moSt of whom were without masks or any ade- quate protection-whiIe other weap- ons, bullets, bayonets or shrapnel, killed Al per cent of those exposed to them.
 Contrary to general belief, sur- viying gas victims rarely have per- manent complications. Records show they have no more tubercu- losis than do other soldiers. and relatively fewer cases of blindness or brain fever.
 Dr. Hildebrand also draws on his

SENATORS OPPOSE
 AUXILIARY BILL
MalOney, Danaher Lose Fight to Defeat Army Bill
 Service for Women

Q. s. Senators Francis T. Ma loney CD and John A. Danaher (R) voted yesterday at Washington against bill establishing a women's auxiliary for the army, but the measure was passed by 8 vote of 38 to 27. The bill had previously passed the House and now goes to the President.
 Senator Maloney was unsucceSs- full in an amendment restricting the use of the auxiliary to this country, his proposal being defeated, 37-26.
 Charging that 1t "casts 8 shadow on the sanctity of the home," Sena- tor Maloney led the fight against the army auxiliary bill. Women, he said, could best serve the war program in better ways than by be- ing in the army.
 The bill authorizes the setting-up of a women's auxiliary of 15O,000. .

 Dr. Hildebrand does not minimize the danger of gas warfare, but he feels its greatest threat is not counted in casualties, but in its ab- ility to spread panic in an unedu- cated population, no matter how brave. It is, he says, the easiest of all weapons to combat with calm preparation and common sense.
