GAS MASK DRILLS AT CAMP HANCOCK TESTS ARE HARD Pennsylvania Soldiers Arc Being Instructed in Im portant Work Camp Hancock. Augusta. Ga.. March s.—With the fate of the American heroes who died recently in France in a gas attack by the Ger mans in mind, no effort is to be lost to make the Twenty-eighth Division at Canrip Hancock as Immune from the deadly fumes as application to training can accomplish. They are to be taught every phase of a gas attache and how to resist it. When they get across, the Penn sylvania Sammees will be able to ad just a gas mask within six or eight secotds, thus practically obliterating! the-danger from the atrocious war weapon. ras mask drill is being given reg-| ularly by the division gas instruc tnn. Captain Lee Stone, and his asj sistants, among whom are numberec members of the French and Britisn military missions assigned to Camp I>ncock. Thorough Training Not alone are the men being taught how to adjust a gas mask, lut thev are shown how to do it j.roj erly and are put through the or deal of experiencing the actualities of ft gas attack by going into the r.as chamber filled with asphyxiating fumes. With the gas masks on, the soldiers are free from danger. It is iust another way of getting them accustomed to what they run into when they get "over there. Gas drill is one of the most inter esting of drills at the camp and. as it is in a way akin to self-preserva tion methods, the Pennsylvanians are going at it with a will and are putting ••pep" into the work. How to Detect Ua* | Another phase of the gas defense drill that is to be undertaken | the division is the ascertaining or ( the presence of gas. Tllis> a ' | important p.irt, requires ttie tion of a specialist, who. with and alert olfactory organs, can de termine the approach of the ga. fumes and sound the warning time enough for his comrades to ad just their masks before the gas cloud arrives. . This phase is to be taught at the division school of gas immed ately and non-coms of all units of the dl vision. have been detailed to take the ,ourse. Special attention has been given to thje picking of the non commissioned officers for thw dutj. as it requires a man of' much intel ligence.

Improvement* Needed Reports of railroads, now being tabulated by the Interstate Com merce Commission and Railroad Ad ministration officials, show the im pi ovements railroads had planned for this year If private operation hsd continued. These reports alsD are being examined ty a committee of ralljv.ay engineers, acting for Di rector-General McAdoo, with a view to trimming the estimates in tha light of emergency war needs. Judge Lovett is expected to form a national organization, including rsilway vic*-presidents in charge of improvements and extensions on their respective lines. Every pro- Posed expenditure for these pur poses will be closely scrutinized be fore being approved. The new divi sion will work closely with the di vision of finance and purchases, di rected by John Skelton Williams, who plans to centralize purchases for all the roads. Cuts His Diitiex As director of priorities for the M ar Industries Board, Judge laOvett's duties had been greatly curtailed by the absorption of transportation priority functions by the Railroad Administration and the exercise of fuel priority by the Fuel Administra tion. Eventually a Joint Government beard may be formed to co-ordinate the priority functions now exercised by the Railroad and Fuel Adminis trations, the War and Navy Depart ments and the Shipping Board. Of ficials who have discussed this plan would include a representative of the Treasury, whose capital issues com mittee is administering a voluntary Ejttem of credits priority.

Prendergast. It was a line that reached two abreast down Eighteenth street to Race and east on Race for two blocks. It constantly moved for ward into the great church doors, down the central aisle to the cata falque where the dead prelate lay in state in his pontifical vestments. And yet it remained a line three blocks long until long into the night. TO KEEP UP DUES At the regular meeting of the Ital- ian Independent Social and Benefit Society of Harrisburg, resolution wa| adopted exempting all members of the Society, who either volunteere# or were drftd into the Army of th# United States, from paying the usuajl dues during the period of their serf vice in the Army and their benefit# to be derived from the said Society to remain in full force as heretofore'. To Remove Dandruff Get a small bottle -of Danderlne any drug store for a few cents, pour a little into your hand and rub well into the scalp with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all,' of this awful scurf will have disappeared. Two or three applications will de stroy every bit of dandruff; stop scalp Itching and falling hair. —Adv, 5
