Carbon MOnOxide
In Small Garages

The newspapers recently carried a
news item of the death from carbon
monoXide poisoning. of a prominent
Baltimore man, who was found dead
in his garage with the engine of his
automobile still running. With the on
set of colder weather such accidents
will probably increase in frequency,
says the Surgeon General of the Uni
ted States Public Health Service, who
warns automobile owners of the dan
ger involved in running gasoline
engine in a small closed space for
any considerable period of time.
In tests of the exhaust of small
o3 horsepower automobile engine it
has been found that it discharged APP
Eroximately 25 cubic feet of gas per
minute. samples of which gave an
average of per cent. carbon mon
oxide, or Is cubic feet Of deadly car
bon monoXide gas per minute. or
course larger engines will give off
more. Now ratio Of IS parts car
bon mopoxide to 10000 parts of air is
considered n dangerous concentration
to be exposed to for q considerable
time; and the small % horsepower
engine in warming up and giving
off only one cubic foot of carbon
monoXide per minute would contain
mate the air of small closed gar
age, 10 by 10 by 20. to the danger
point in about three minutes.
Carbon monoXide is colorless,
tasteIess, and almost odorless gas.
It's poisonous action depends on the
fact that it has a much greater
affinity for the hemoglobin of the
blood than has oXygen-hemoglobin
attracting carbon monoxide about 300
times as strongly as it does oxygen.
BY combining with carbon monoXide,
the hemoglobin of the red blood
corpuscles is prevented from giving
up its oxygen to the tissues. Death
results from paralysis of the respira-
tory apparatus.
The attack of carbon monoXide
poisoning comes on insidiously, and
consciousness is gradually lost. Even
though the victim may become aware
of the danger he is often unable to
escape from it because OF the great
loss/of motor power.
The automobile worker in small
garage is most frequently the victim.
II therefore behooves every person
who runs his engine in. small gar
age to see to it that the room Is pro-
rerly ventilated by having the WIN
dows and doors opened if he expects
to run the engine for even rev
minutes.

home TALENT AT
ITS BEST IN PLAY
UNIvERSALIST CH,

Home talent was at It's best in the
presentation of The Rustic Romeo"
by the young people of the Universal
list church Friday evening before a
large audience = the high school au-
dltorium. The play, a two act farce,
was well selected, and the various
players adapted to their roles, the
audience was kept in laughter by the
antics of the cast coupled with the
tragic adventures Of Nerena James
as Miss Dee. John Jabe Doolittle,
played by Archie Cole, was the lead
ing character and was we'll termed
the Rustic Romeo for he had
amorous experiences or thought he
had with every woman in kennebec
county. Sid Roberts, an unfortunate
lad, who is trying to make something
of himself despite the gossipers. was
we'll played by George Matthews.
Harold Small as Hink Spinney was
right at home on the stage, and sue
ceeded in adding complications to the
already mixed up affair.
Raymond James as Azirah Figg,
the grocer, was at all times success
full in his work of portraying the
meanest man in the county. Wesley
Anderson, as Grandpaw Blue. offered
some very sound advice to all on the
marriage question, speaking from eX-
perience. FFranceS Collins, in the
part of Mrs. Spriggs. spry widow.
was the personification of q willing;
bride. Valencia Sproul showed the
hicks" how it was done in the city
By her clever slang and comments.

ceptable as a husband but finally

Eerena James was perhaps the hit of
the evening with her severe attack of
| the Blues which was only cured by
her marriage with the Rustic Ro-
meo" he choosing her, the only Wo-
man to whom he had not proposed,
as the lesser of two evils. Miss Dee
with her patent medicines and drawl-
: ing voice was a big favcrite every
, time she appeared and when she rem
dered her mournful song that was to
be sung in church the following Sun
day. she was encored again and
again. The solo parts assisted by a
chorus composed of a hevy of pretty
girls were well interspersed and
| formed a most pleasing part of the
program.
! Between the acts, little Miss Mar
guerite Emery and Miss Laura Clary
showed their talent by two delight
| full solo dances, which were well re-
I ceived by the appreciative audience.

Bad MOuntaineer
Weakens When He
Hears Mothers Plea

Ozark. Ark, Jan. 9 (By A. Po-
| Pleas of his aged mother. Mrs. Fran
ces Mclaughlin. 81, that he give
| himself up and avert bloodshed,
caused Neal Mclaughlin. mountain
Ger, living in Jethro, Ark, - miles
northeast Of Ozark. to surrender
himself to officers tonight. McLaugh-
lin, wanted on statutory charge,
according to Franklin County Off
Gals is in Jail at Ozark.
Mclaughlin. crack shot and a
man Of proven courage, has been
! sought by officers of the law for
months. according to reports and on
one occasion not many weeks ago
was arrested but in some manner
escaped and. going back to his home
went about his daily tasks unmolest-
ed. The fact that he was not appre-
hended caused much criticism ana
one of the promises Sheriff Zeb
Davis is said to have made when he
ran for Office was to capture the
, bad man.
True to his promise. Sheriff Davis
summoned his forces today and
moved on McI.aughl.n's mountain
cabin. With him he took eight ma
tional Suardsmen. sworn in as deputy
sherifTs and two machine guns. Inc
:uarlsmen and the machine guns
were sent to, the aid of the sheriff
after n request had been made to
Brig. Gen. II. l.. McAll'ster.
The Mclaughlin cabin was sur
rounded and a state of seiSe begun,
for the mountaineer refused to sur
render, and for fear that women and
children were in the cabin the ma
chine guns We're not. used.
There remained an impasse until
early tonight when Mclaughlin S
aged mother, walking across the
mountains to the scene of the trouble,
was admitted to the cabin. Her pleas
that Neal surrender bore fruit.
Several years ago Mclaughlin was
sentenced to death after being con-
yicted of a statutory charge, but the
sentence was committed to life i'm
prisonment by Governor Brough.
Records show that Mclaughlin es-
capped in 1917 and there all knowledge
of the cases ended as far as could be
ascertained in Little Rock today.
