TETRA-ETHYL LEAD POISONING
 CAUSED BY GASOLINE MIXTURE

 The poisoning is hard to combat, because it cannot be discovered un- til the danger point has been reached.
 Thomas Midgely, IT,, inventor of ethyl gas, said the compound had caused two deaths in the plant of the General Motors Chemical Com pany at Dayton, Ohio. He said forty others were stricken there and that workmen in the Du Pont plants had been poisoned to lesser degree from handling the compound.
 Scientists believe, however, that no fatalities will result if the gas is handled carefully. They urge that the greatest precautions be taken wherever it is used.

 GRUMPY
VIM. DE MILES PICTURE
 "GRUMPY," IS THRILLING

Every scenario writer strives for one big thing in every picture-sus- pense. Without it picture is an ab- solute failure insofar as interest is concerned. Clara Beranger has suc- ceeded. In Grumpy" William de Miles photo play featuring Theodore Roberts, May McAvoy and Conrad Nagel, which comes to the Liberty Theatre tonight, she has begun the suspense with the first scene and it ends only when the final scene is shown.
 The central situation of Grumpy" is the mysterious disappearance of diamond valued at $5OO,00O which is stolen from Ernest Heron Conrad NageD and recovered by Grumpy" a lovable, though irascible, old char acter played by Mr. Roberts. The sus- pense starts with the opening scene, when the crooks are plotting to steal the jewel It builds up bigger and bigger to the climax and does not fin ally end until the last scene when the crook is brought to justice, the sole clue to his identity being a gar denia with a wOmans hair wrapped around the stem.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-Picture your yourself being slowly poisoned by a gas so deadly that physicians cannot combat it-and faced with the fact that you will gradually be driven in- sane, until at last seized with rav- ing madness from which the only re- lief is suicide.
 Then you will realize the awful fate which waits for victims of tetra- ethyl lead gas poisoning, contracted by workers who handle the dread chemical compound in the manufact- ure of type of gasoline that pre- vents knocking" of engines. Scientists and manufacturers have known for some time of the danger in handling the compound, but public attention was first attracted to the subject when 35 workers were strick- en last month in the plant of the Standard Oil company at Bayway, N. J. Five were driven insane and died within a short time.
 The others are under observation at the Reconstruction hospital here. They have seen the victims die one by one, and with terror clutching at their hearts they lie on their cots waiting, waiting, waiting, knowing when they will become mad men and have to be placed in the insane ward until death ends their sufferings.
 New Treatment Brings Hope The victims only hope of recovery l lies in Dr. Maxim Touart, who has discovered form of treatment which i he believes will save them. By giv. l ing them sodium bromide as a laXa. tive with injections of hyposulphite of soda, to dissolve the lead in their systems, he hopes to prevent further l deaths

BALDWIN TAKES

DICTATOR
British Premier Surprises
Commons by Firmness
in Action
BY #. A. WRAY,
international News Service.


LONDON, Dec. 1O.--Premier STAN
ley Baldwin meets the new House
OF Commons a man apparently en-.
tirely different in character from
what he was when he left office
eleven months ago.
At that time he was still new to
the premiership. He had been ap.
pointed practically by accident. And
it seemed that he claimed no au.
thority for himself, that he was
without Initiative, and that he was
prepared to allow each of his col
leagues in the cabinet to go any
way he pleased.
It used to be said that he never
opened his mouth in the cabinet,
and that he was prepared to ac-
quiesce in any decision that Lord
Curzon-the supposed power behind
the throne-felt inclined to take.
He seemed q man who preferred to
follow policy rather than decide
Chooses Own Cabinet.
All this is now changed. The
new Baldwin has appeared as a
man Of both decision and action,
This became apparent from the
Ilrst moment 1t was certain that
ne was returning to office with a
huge majority behind him.
he formed his cabinet entirely
by himself. He neither sought ad.
vice nor acted an it when offered.
he offended members of his own
party by dropping politicians like
Lord Derby, the Duke Of Devon
shire and Sir Robert Horne. And
he braved unpopularity and even
revolt by placing Winston Churchill
Ia political apostate-in office as
Chancellor Of the Exchequer. the
JOB second only to his own.
In the initiation of policy he has
shown an equally bold stand. In
regard to Russia, the Inter-Allied
debt question, the recognition Of
Mexico-on all these questions he
has alone framed the policy of the
government. His change Of char
acter has surprised none more than
his own colleagues. At the very
first meeting Of the cabinet he made
It perfectly clear that he is to call
the tune to which they are to dance,
From the outset he spoke as one
having full authority.
People Are Puzzled.
