The gas officer Is one man In the

of romantic heroism. . Every one
has been congratulating ttie chaps
who Jerked ort their gas masks' 1o

were heaving gas over In volumes,
and the French awarded ' several
boys tho "Croix ; de Ouorro" for
their spunk. .;

one gets a whiff ot the 'gas, . the
gds officer thinks that man. ought
tutlio right down and take care, of

Viuittlng, the doughboys any.
But "tho gas oft'icer points out
that tho man who . quits , and takes
rare 'of himself gets over his gass
ing irt 3 or- 4 hours, aod can go
back into service again, whereas
tho chap who sticks It out to the

is good for work again. This Is
