THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[March J, 1916. 



that a number of refugees came to Liverpool, and when I 

 was over here in 1914, I made a remark to Mr. Pearson, of 

 The India Rubber World, that it was my intention to do 

 what I could for them. He took up the matter with the 

 members and they made a most generous gift, which I can 

 assure you has been thoroughly appreciated by those poor 

 refugees. It has enabled me with the help of a great many 

 other friends to take care of 30 or 40 women and children 

 of the best class of Belgium who were forced to come to 

 England on account of the war in their country. 

 THE "GAS MASK." 

 I am only a rubber manufacturer, but the rubber industry 

 has enabled the world to help the unfortunate .soldiers at the 

 front, who are lighting today for what each one considers 

 his duty and his right. 



The Rubber Gas Mask. 



The mask (shown in the accompanying illustration) is 

 used to neutralize the chlorine gas used by the Germans in 

 their attacks. They have it stored in large cylinders and 

 at a favorable opportunity this gas is discharged and comes 

 along in a low cloud. Immediately the discharge takes 

 place, every soldier immediately puts on his helmet and he 

 lives with it. He is never in the trenches without it. Perhaps 

 the most curious sight in the world is to see a battalion with 

 these helmets on. 



The rubber industry is to be congratulated in being able 

 to produce something which has saved the lives of thousands 

 and thousands of men.
