Clark, mo iN'oss building, has contributed a new type of influna. mask.

Mr. Pin rk has done away with tills awk wa rd met hod. He ifa.s t led tlie four ends of the four strlhgs which hold Ihe . mask in place to a rubber band which ' fits securely about the back- of the brad. All that Is necessary to remove the mask Is a quick iipwiinl jerk. The clastic band makes it possible to &dJuiM the mask h t any angle in the shortest pOSjtple amount of lime. - Mr. Clark developed his Idea from studying study-ing the methods used in adjusting g;is masks at the front.
