Women Wearing Masks During Dust Storm

(Original Caption) Wearing Masks As Protection Against Dust. This picture taken at 3:45 p.m., shows Kansas City, Missouri, girls wearing masks to safeguard their lungs against dust as a dust storm, sweeping in off western Kansas wheat fields, literally moving tons of fertile soil from farmlands, enveloped the city. The billowing clouds turned day into night, demoralized traffic and business and caused millions of dollars in property damage throughout the affected states.
