New Fashions in Gas Masks 



The mask which is in use at 

 the present time by the English 

 and the French. To the sol- 

 dier in the trenches the gas 

 mask is as important as his rifle 



Worn for gases which are 

 poisonous but which do 

 not affect the eyes. The 

 mouth and nose are pneu- 

 matically sealed by a 

 rubber-faced cushion 



Impervious to smoke and flame, 

 the mask is made of asbestos 

 and is worn by rescue squads in 

 fires and explosions. An entire 

 suit of asbestos accompanies it 



Mask used by our submarine 

 sailors when salt water 

 reaches the electric storage 

 batteries and chlorine gas 

 is generated in consequence 



Worn for protection against 

 chlorine gas by workmen who 

 are constantly exposed to the 

 gas in chlorinating plants
