Smoke Screen in Air-Raid Shelter Kills Air-Borne Germs

Item

Air-raid shelters in London soon may be subjected to germ-killing smoke as a result of tests made at the Portslade research laboratories in Sussex. The two most effectiveout of six tested varieties of smoke screens are incense, such as is used in churches, and smoke emanating from smoldering cardboard soaked in saltpeter. Gear-grease heated on electric plates also had a killing effect on the bacteria.
