THE LOGAN DAILY NEWS. LOGAN, OHIO HI. ,,.1...1 I Ill i I I.I.I 11.11 tA pP Friday, March 27, 19fe Civilian Defense Firemen Learn of War Gas Dangers LEWISITE MOST the old home town Registered S. Patent DANGEROUS GAS, HRE CHIEF SAYS Methods of Decontamination, Physical Properties of Gasses Studied Fire Chief Roy Stallsmith described the manufacture, effects and methods of combatting various war gatees when civilian defense firemen met in the chemistry laboratory at Logan High School Thursday evening. Thirty-five were present, including men from Murray Laurel- vllle, Haydenvllle and Union Furnace, but Logan Wards 1 and 2 were not represented, Stallsmith cited the war gas as perhaps the most dangerous, with mustard gas a close second.

Lewisite smells like geraniums, the fire chief said, and is a burning gas. It attacks the skin and then burns through the flesh to the bone. Even if hospitalization is available for these burns, death may result since the gas is an arsenical compound. Mustard gas, also a burning type, smells like garlic or onions, and is perhaps more dangerous, from a burn standpoint than Lewisite, Stallsmith stated. Lewisite starts to burn immediately on contact, while mustard gas may merely smart for a few minutes on contact, then cause large blisters and severe pain 12 hours later.

Breathing the fumes usually results in death. Both of these gases may be dropped in liquid form in bombs and. unless decontaminated or washed away by rain, may remain active for two weeks. Both are heavy gases and settle in cellars and low lying places. First Aid Treatment First aid treatment for either of these gases consists in removing from the affected area, wash with coal oil, gasoline or alcohol, apply bleaching paste (chloride of lime) then wash off with soap and water.

If taken into the lungs the gas nearly always causes pneumonia. Methods of combatting Lewisite are similar to those used for mustard gas. Walter Huffman, Third Ward fire leader, who was gased with both mustard and chlorine during World War 1, related several first hand experiences with gas. Other gases listed by Stallsmith were: Ethyldichlorarsine, which has an odor similar to pepper, causes burns and vomiting, lasts about one hour. Chlorine, a pungent smelling lung irritant, lasts about 10 minutes before being diffused by air.

Causes water to gather in lung cells, resulting in death from Chloropicrin, smells like fly paper or sweet anise, causes coughing, watering of eyes, lasts six hours in By STANLEY GUILD TO STAGE SHOW AT FRIDAY Breakfast Fund To Benefit; Curtain Time Is 8 DEATH CLAIMS R.
