They were used to conceal the move- ments of small groups of men. - When touched off they were simply placed on the ground, to make a smoke screen. The Americans thought it would be a good Idea to use smoke candles that would give off a poisonous smoke. These Improved candles did not cowe into use during the war, but since then the chemists of our War depart- ment have perfected them. The poison stuft used Is a coal-tar product which, a solid at ordinary temperatures, va- perizes In the heat of the burning can- dle, The vapor will penetrate most gas masks, The military authorities think that such poison smokes will find very cxtensive use in future warfare. The smoke of a smoke-candle Is usually white, To be effective for con- cealment, it must, of course, be as « ue as possible; and it must also be heavy, so as to be not easily blown away by a light breeze, Candles that produce a smoke of zinc chloride meet these requirements admirably, but the addition of “diphenylchlorarsine™ makes thein poisonous as well.

The Normans were very fond of a given name (now obsolete) which was spelled Fulque or Fulke. Tt was as common then as Tom or William today.
