Auto Fumes Deadly

This is the open season for those
foolish animals who start their auto
mobile engines running in closed
garage. and are found few hours la
ter by their sorrowing families, dead
from gas fumes.
Nobody should start gas engine in
room which has no connection with
the outside air, if he intends to spend
any time in that room. Either the ga
rage door should be left open or the
exhaust from the engine should be
connected with the exterior outlet.
The gas generated by these ST ting
engines is just as deadly as that which
the intentional suicide draws in thru
a hose attached to the gas fixture; it
only acts more slowly because it is
inhaled in less concentrated form.
Every year these same warnings are
issued by the automobile clubs and the
state authorities, but every year has
its list of victims who either did not
get or did not heed the warning.-St.
Louis Leader.

for the building of suitable organ

tanned. There were no railroads In

employed. Some of the immense
pipes of the great instrument were 81
feet long. But music was what they
wanted and have IT they did. TheNor-
gan is said TO be the sweetest-toned
and the largest save one. In the world.
The original organ has been rebuilt
and enlarged until 1t now has seven
divisions, the main organ being 60 feet
