c. d. Enfield, M. D., in Horseless
Age has the following advice to mo-
florists relative to the prevention OF
petromortis:
Petromortis has entered the auto
mobile lexicon, and it has meaning
which behooves every person who
has occasion to work on his car In a
closed garage to become more famil-
lar with this strange word.
Asphyxiation by automobile gaso-
line fumes to the layman is petromor-
tbs to the medical profession and daily
reports Of three tragic
deaths within the past month due to
this cause should result in more at
tention to the proper ventilation Of
garages.
In the cases reported death resulted
from being confined in room with an
"idling'' motor eXhausting into the air
of the room. AS 1T would seem that
death in these cases came too soon,
and after too short a period OF COM
bustion to be the result Of mere oxy-
gen exhaustion OF the air in the room,
q toxic agent has been sought as
cause Of death, and apparently discov-
cred in the carbon monoxide gas, which
is one of the products of incomplete
combustion in a gasoline motor just
as 1t is in coal stove.
Not Lack of Oxygen.
In the ordinary burning process In
either the motor car or the stove, the
oxygen of the air unites with the car
bon of the fuel int the proportion OF
two atoms of oxygen to one Of carbon,
producing the comparatively harmless
gas, barbon dioxide.
This gas is the most common and
in volume the most important product

WILL EXTEND HIcHwAvs

Atlanta, Ga, March 10.-Extension
of the Bankhead highway until it be-
comes a transcontinenta highway
stretching across the continent from
Washington to Los Angeles and
through the southern and southeast
ern states, is the latest development in
connection with the perfection of this
great roadway.
The road was at first intended to
reach from Memphis to Atlanta by
way OF Birmingham, and for some
weeks representative organizations of
these states have been hard at work
perfecting their plans for the road,
but. according to Secretary Fred Hou-
ser and President Frederick J. Paxon
of the Atlanta convention bureau. the
actual organization of the transcon-
tinental extension will begin in At
lanta within the next sixty days.
Mr.. Paxon is in receipt OF d letter
from officials of the highway declar-
ing that since its organization hum
dreds Of requests have come from
western states begging that the orr
ganization extend the work from
Washington to Los Angeles in add
ton to the original route.

room. Meanwhile, one of them sat
down in the car, the other on the
running board. In the morning they
were found, dead of carbon monoxide
poisoning, in these same positions.
These cases. tragic and sensational
though they are, involve degree Of
carelessness not often found among
another very real danger. which, while
it has not to do with sudden death,
is perhaps the more serious, for it
entails a considerable loss OF efficien-
cy spread over a large number of
wage earners and has effects on their
general health and well being which
the scientist is not yet prepared to es-
innate accurately.
Carbon monoxide. as a poison, acts
on the blood and through the blood
on the other tissues, particularly the
nervous system. It can aGd does cause
paralysis, deafness, commissions and a
large group of symptoms. Often IL
the poison is not fatal, it leads to
chronic invalidism and mental weak
ness which, in varying degree, may
last throughout life. These are the
severers non-fatal cases.
Just how much effect the constant
daily breathing OF small quantity of
this poison, too small quantity to
have any immediate noticeable results,
will have on health, mental and phys
ical, the physicians do not know ex-
actly.
That is must have some effect is fair
Iy certain, and as we are coming to
look with less tolerance on waste of
every kind every day. a little less
work done every day, little slower
thought processes, a little impairment
of physique In hundreds and perhaps
thousands of men, is not to be re-
garded lightly.
Al little of this poison every day in
the air you breathe may never cause
you to lose the use of your legs, nor
your ears, but it will certainly make
YOU think a little slower, 1t win cut
down the amount of really first -class
work you can do in q day, it may in
terfere a little with your digestion, II
will make you grow old little fast

YOU feel SO much better in summer
than in winter.

will result with it's adoption, the pal
anced" crank shaft is a valuable addi-
ton to the general subject Of auto
mobile engineering.
Balanced crank shafts are as old, al
most, as the universe. Their use dates
back a great many years. With auto
mobiles, however, they have not been
associated until recently. By competl-
tors its necessity and Importance have
been greatly ridiculed, but just the
same the fact remains that the balanc-
ed crank shaft is coming in for It's
share of attention. Reduction of pres
sure due to crank shaft distortion, and
absence of vibrations due to inherent
unbalance are important enough in
the design of the smoothly running
engine to warrant unusual attention
and adoption. This. when worked out
in conjunction with accurately made
and balanced pistons. connecting rods,
and all of light weight, will bring
about characteristics in the four and
six never dreamed OF.
This brings us to the use or
aluminium pistons-an arrangement
already recognized as of great value.
Construction of the engine in
aluminium (for the most part) will UNI
doubtedly be introduced quits extern
sively. but such is not as important as
its adoption for the other use just
mentioned. An engine made of
aluminium, in parts where possible, as
against the all-iron engine when con-
sidering its effect on the total weight
of the car is not OF unusual advant-
age. With reciprocating parts, though,
the question Of durability is very vital.
Probably next in Importance in this
question of Tendencies" is that of
riding comfort. Recent developments
show conclusively that in the light to
medium heavy car 1t is possible by the
proper combination to get easy riding
qualities in the entire range represent
ed by no-load to passenger capa-
city. To do this. it is necessary to
lengthen the springs, increase their
width and number. decreasing their
thickness. Quality of material must
also be considered.
Returning now to the engine -
detachable heads will become the
vogue, this for a number of reasons,
one of which is the question of manu-
facture and another of which is ease
of repair in case Of necessity.
Thermostatic regulation of air or
water or both is bound to show its
influence very materially within the
next year or two. Lower grades Of

ACCIDENT VICTIM 81
SUES CAR MAKER
Ford Company Defendant In LEGAL
Action For 100000.

Detroit. Mich, March 10.-Dr. q. A..
Trueman has filed suit against the
Ford Motor company and the Prud-
den Wheel company for 100000. DIR.
Trueman experienced an accident
which he claims lost him 100000 in
earnings, and states that the accident
resulted when the front wheel OF his
Ford car broke down. The Ford COM
pany states that 1t exercised all pos
sible care in its selection of the wheel
and that the plaintiff did not buy
from them. The Prudden company
pleads that it owed no duty to the
plaintiff since it exercised all reason
able diligence in inspecting the wheel
when 1t was sold to the Ford COM
pany.

upon the engine-these and other rea-
sons will compel it's installation. I'M
proved methods of fabrication will be
demanded by the advent of the new
high-speed motor. Splash fabrication
will not suffice. This must be more
positive, not only quantitatively, but

Some of these are already in existence,
some are not-none of them, however,
Is so completely established that 1t can
be argued as anything but tentative:
1. Increase in horse power capacity
from a given bore and stroke, leading
to the small bore, high-speed, double
valve engine.
2. Increased interest in the four

8. Critical analysis with particular

H. General improvement in body

parent from distortion.
IL. Greater attention to small de-
tails involving wear such as brake

POSTMASTER Morgan advises that the
steamship Australplain will sail from
New York ON or about March Is, 1917,
