Scientists
; Caution Against
Deadly Gas
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18—The by
drogen sulphide, a gas often found
in and about industrial plants, is ex
tremely poisonous, although not here
tofore recognized as such. Is disclosed
by the Bureau of Mines after a series
of tests on men and antmnls. The in
vestigation showed that acute tun
ing can be produced by low concen
trates of this gas and may resnit In
respiratory paralysis followed by
heart failure and death.
The gas is sometimes present in
mines, railroad tunnels, sewers, and
marshes, and is fount} in various
stages of the manufacture of sul
phuric acid, In the distillation of pe
troleum, particularly those oils known
as hlgh-snlphut crudes, and also about
some pas wells, gas plants and smel
ters. It is colorless and In low eon
captrat.es has the odor of rotten
eggs. In mini s this'has given it
the term “stink damp."
At the Pittsburgh experimental sta
tion of the bureau a large chamber
was used for making exposures of
tnen and various animals. The stu
dy showed that complete inhalation
causes almost immediate unconscious
ness, and death follows frequently be
fore rescue can be accomplished.
THAT SPARSE HfXiM Is a cash
asset—if you use The Empire classi
fied. You can rent it to a desirable
tenant at a good price, thus lessen
ing your own rent-burden.

PANAMA DEFENSE
! IS RECOMMENDED
Stronger Air Force Is De
manded—Navy Critique
Is Prepared Now.
WASHINGTON1 * .*.tig. IS—Various
means of strong1 fiening the defenses
of the Panama Canal ufo suggested
In an official Navy Department cri
tique. prepare ( as a result Of a study
of last spring 3 maneuvers In Panama
1 Day.
The weaknesses of the present
canal fortifications, the memorandum
said, include the Improper grouping
of defense artillery, the lack of suf
ficient air force In the Canal Zone,
and ihe susceptibility of certain vital
1 parts of the wat.tfrway to air bombs.
| ft is suggested' also that the defend
ing fleet should be balanced by the
addition of scout cruisers, and that
a study should he mftde of the possi
bility of obtalnimtshy treaty the right
to establish aircraft bases at cer
tain unnamed points on foredgn soil
nearby.
In the spring maneuvers, the "ene
my” fleet from across the Pacific dis
carded any plan to attack the canal
directly, but snot-ceded in seizing a
base at Port Culehra, Costa Rica,
from which it watt in position to send
out an air fleet agdinst the little strip
of United States territory.
"In drawing "tip their estimates,”
j says the critique, “both commanders
i considered the possibility of block
ing the canal by an attack in force
on tlie PaoHlc • defenses and
locks. Blue (the United States de
fense fleet commartder) rejected this
( idea as improbable on the part of
! Black (the ‘enemy’ fleet commander)
I Because the Ketrry fortifications would
keep his ships at bay and even should
be reduce these which is unlikely
, he would still have, in all probability,
a mine field, a submarine entrance
guard, and an air attack to over
■ come."
“Rlatk rejected this course be
cause, to destroy the closest locks
by boPibardment. or by torpedoes,
1 ships would flVst haVe to destroy the
enemy sea forces, run the gauntlet
I of the mines and submarines in Pa
* nama Bay and even after this were
1 done, shore batteries would still keep
• our forces at a range of 36.000 yards
i it wlifth distance destruction of the
1 Ricks bWjombardmeiU is hardly pos

manders estimated that the best

chance for Jfla< k to a.yconiphsh his
mission was to bomb vitul parts by
means of airplanes.”
This situation, coupled with other
facts developed during tin* maneu
vers, led the naval experts to reach
rather definite decisions as, to the
future needs of national defense in
that quarter.
