Worthless in the Mines Masks Warned Against
Washington February 26 Army gas masks offer no protection for coal miners against mine gases and only slight protection against ammonia fumes warns Lt Col B C Goss head of the Army Chemical Warfare Division sales salvage section. He fears heavy loss of life if buyers are misled by dealers who bought many masks from the government since the war. The army mask does protect against smoke and fire fumes and plans are under study to distribute masks to city fire departments. The government has sold many masks at $1 for used and an unspecified price for unused mainly as souvenirs.
