DEADLY GASES CAN NOT BE KEPT OUT.
SECRET TESTS MADE. Masks Are Useless When Worn a Long Time. BRITISH SCIENTIST'S VIEW. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 1030 a.m.) LONDON, February 8. The "Daily Herald" and the "Daily Mirror"' give detailed accounts of two years' secret tests carried out by a dozen scientists in a room in the biochemical laboratory at Cambridge, the windows and chimneys of which were sealed. The tests revealed that deadly pases cannot be kept out; even wearers of eas masks are susceptible to the influence of gas. "The Mirror" quotes Professor Marrack, noted chemical pathologist, who said he was surprised that the secret of the tests had leaked out. "Apparently jrases cannot be excluded," he added. "Gas masks are useless when worn for a long time."
