GAS POISONING
BY H. Addington Bruce


OCCURRING reports of deaths from pol

- size the desirability of summarizing,
from authoritative sources, suggestions look
ing to a lessening of this common hazard to
life Though, to be sure, it is difficult to give
anything like an adequate summary in the
space at my disposal, because of the great
variety of sources of carbon mOnoX1de.
This deadly poison is produced whenever
there is incomplete combustion OF any gas,
whether it be from wood, coal, Oil, or tuel
gas Hence the Importance of keeping mo-
noxide out of the air of kitchens, sleeping and
living rooms, workrooms, garages, etc, by
providing fues for its egress, by ventilation
and by minimizing it's production as far as
possible when fuels are burned
In this last connection DR.. Emery h HAY
hurst consultant to the Ohio state depart
ment of health, notes.
"Housekeepers are warned particularly
against turning their cook stove gas burners
too high The contact of the flames with
cold metal will generate monoxide gas until
the metal becomes hot enough to burn 1t, and
also if the flame goes up around the vessel.
And:
.'Never place a fueless water heater in the
bathroom This is whether it is a gas heater,
oil heater or uses coal or wood for heat.
cit is an invariable rule that whenever a

means yielding carbon monoxide gas.
"It will continue to do this until this sur
face (for instance, the bottom of tea-kettle,
water tank stove lid, or tile candle used to
throw a radiant heat) becomes heated to the
burning point of carbon monoxide gas, which
is very high"
The practice of sleeping in rooms where
gas heaters are left burning all night is es-
pecially dangerous, even when the gas heater
is in a fireplace opening. There is always a
risk that weather changes during the night
may reverse the draft. Besides which, as
pointed out by Samuel S. Wyer, in technical

"a flueless stove properly adjusted at 9
o'clock in the evening, when the pressure is
low and when the person goes to bed, may
become a carbon monoXide generator at 3
o'clock in the morning, when the person is
asleep and the gas pressure has greatly in
creased"
For that matter, whatever the source of
bedroom heat, it always is best to shut the
heat off on going to bed, and to sleep with a
window open. This on hygienic grounds quite
apart from any carbon monoXide hazard. The

LOOK THIS FELLOW UP
By DR.. Frank Crane

by LIZ. din NJ dlS
A gentleman from New York City writes
to me Of an outlandish incident which came
recently under his observation.
IT calls attention to sort of thing WHICH
while it may not be very common, yet
undoubtedly occurs once in while
Something should be done.
We have police to arrest burglars
thieves and confidence men, Noted GRIM
inaIs of all sorts have their pictures pup
Iished In the newspapers, and the press
is often of service in bringing them to
Justice.
why cannot something be done about
this man? 1 cannot give his name, but
have his number.
He is a yellow taxi chauffeur, and the
number of his car is 0673S8.
NV informant writes me that on March
I. as he was going to his office from the
Grand Central station, he actually saw thls
abandoned taxi driver give consideration TO
several pedestrians trying to cross the
street.
He actually although he had the rtght-of-
way of vehicles, stopped his car to allow
pedestrians who had started to cross the
street to reach the other side.
He did not come up close to old ladies'
and toot his horn and throw them into a
panic.
He did not make disparaging remarks
out of the side of his mouth to people
who feloniously and mischievously came
pretty near being run over.
He did not shove, push intrude ana
otherwise set himself and his machine for
ward and make everybody get out OF his
way
Something should be done.
At least a committee meeting should be
held at some residence on Fifth avenue
and the parlor Bo1sheviks invited to come
and express their opinion. At the conclu-
sion of this meeting a committee might
even be appointed.
We hesitate to suggest anything so rad
ical and apparently brutal as appointing
a committee, but we deliberately do it in
this case.
And have not the chauffeurs union?
Some sort of labor union ought to take up
this matter. If this sort of thing is allowed
to go on unrebuked, very soon pedestrians
will get the notion that they have rights
which chauffeurs are bound to respect
just as the housekeeper had called her. He
