AIR RAID LECTURE Individual Protection Against War Gases

IMPORTANCE OF RESPIRATOR EFFICIENCY STRESSED

Individual protection against war gases formed the subject of the Afth of a series of lectures on air raids 'precautions, which was given by Leut-Commdr, B. M. Dougins, R.N. (Retired); at the China Fleet Club Theaffe, yesterday evening before, a large and interested audisuce.

The lecturer dealt with respirators and pointed out that one's respirator must never be removed without fasting for gas.. This was done by putting two fingers under the side of the chin, hold- ing the breath and sulfing..

"Please remember that your life may depend on the efficiency of your respirator and, therefore, treat it alla respect," declared Lieut-Commdr. Douglas,

The speaker said: Hundred per cent protection against all war gases depends on two factors, namely, the individual and the respirator.

There will be only two types of individuals in a gas attack-the quick and the dead.

I have, I admit, told you in my last lecture that experiments have proved that people in a room with doots and windows closed had seven minutes grace. In which, to put on their respirators, but, you must bear in mind that they were not in the open and it was not mustard or blister gas the latter point I will explain next week.

Supposing you had your back to the wind when putting on your respirator you would be putting on. a mask full of gas-therefore the safest possible position is facing the wind-then by breathing out you will clear your lungs and magz of any gas that may have got in.

TRIVIALITIES COUNT

A lot of these small points such

not looking up during an at raid, sitting still, in a refuge-- fac- ing the wind, etc., seem trivial at

it clear to you that It is these first sight but I hope I have made

trivialities that count-anyone can buy a motor car but there is a large number who cannot drive one-imilarly anyone can buy a respirator or will, we hope, be able to in the near future-but without the necessary elementary know- edge and practice they will not be able to obtain full value from it. it.
