Dressed in gas masks and protective suits, citizens of Rome, Italy, are learning how to resist the attacks of gas-bombing planes. In recent aerial maneuvers under the direction of Premier Mussolini, suburban citizens were garbed like visitors from another planet might be expected to look. At the sound of sirens, the city dons gas masks and flees to cover while the men inhabitants practice maneuvers to be used if Rome were attacked from the air. final tolls, says Professor Haldane. Flyers who, at high altitudes, get too little air were warned that the symptoms of this condition are high spirits which may lead to continued exposure or foolhardy feats. British statistics indicate workers in trades exposed to mineral and metallic dust, cutlery grinding being an example, are much more liable than the average person to contract tuberculosis or pneumonia. Limestone workers and flour-mill employes do not seem to suffer ill effects, but those in dust-filled cotton mills and sand blasters do, and silica dust is always dangerous.
