BEARDS AND GAS MASKS
A HINT FROM CORNWALL,. From the depths of Cornwall, which lias not known the hand of an invader since the days of the Phienicians, came this gas mask hint in a letter to the London "Times”:—"May I put forward a suggestion for the comfort of those bearded men who do not wish to lose this desirable adornment? Four curling pins may be bought at the stores and the beard tightly rolled up in these and lucked under the chin. The gas mask is then drawn over the face, beard and all. and is perfectly airtight.
"This discovery has been the means of preserving my husband's magnificent beard, and I submit it to you in the hope that it may save other. —I am. sir your obedient servant, Peggy Pollard The Ropewalk. Saint Mawes. Cornwall."
