DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1. An improved warp knitted activated-carbon fabric, said fabric having a weft comprising a protective yarn-covered activated-carbon yarn every course thereof being inserted across the full width of said fabric and having non-activated-carbon warp yarns in the wales and courses of said fabric, said fabric being a tricot knit fabric having a design represented by the bar movement pattern: front guide bar: 1-0, 1-2 back guide bar: 2-3, 1-0 back guide bar: 2-0, 2-4. 2. An activated-carbon fabric according to claim 1, wherein said protective yarn-covered activated-carbon yarn is braided with a cotton yarn. 3. An activated-carbon fabric according to claim 1, wherein said protective yarn-covered activated-carbon yarn is wrapped with a cotton yarn. 4. An activated-carbon fabric according to claim 1, wherein said protective yarn-covered activated-carbon yarn is braided with a wool yarn. 5. An activated-carbon fabric according to claim 1, wherein said activated-carbon fabric has a sorptivity for carbon tetrachloride vapor of at least 1 mg/cm. sup. 2 of fabric. 6. An activated-carbon fabric according to claim 1, wherein at least 30 percent by weight of the protective yarn-covered activated-carbon yarn is an activated-carbon yarn. 7. An activated-carbon fabric according to claim 2, wherein at least 30 percent by weight of said activated-carbon yarn braided with cotton yarn is an activated-carbon yarn and said activated-carbon fabric has a sorptivity for carbon tetrachloride vapor of at least 1 mg/cm. sup. 2 of fabric. 8. A protective clothing garment for protection of a wearer thereof against a toxic chemical vapor or gas agent, said protective clothing garment being made of a warp knitted activated-carbon fabric , said fabric having a wept comprising a protective yarn-covered activated-carbon yarn every course thereof being inserted across the full width of said fabric and having non-activated-carbon warp yarns in the wales and courses of said fabric, said fabric being a raschel knit fabric having a design represented by the bar movement pattern: front guide bar: 4-6, 2-0 back guide bar: 2-0, 2-4
