CARBON MONOXIDE
GAS DANGEROUS
Only Safeguard Is Never to
Run Engine in Garage
While Closed.

Caborn monoxide is deadly, cOlorless
room may seem perfectly pure, yet
may contain enough carbon monoxide
to kill you.
Carbon monoxide may be formed by
burning almost any kind of fuel with
out oxygen. A very small percentage
in the air will cause headache, then
unconsciousness, then death. The
blood has a great affinity for carbon
monoxide and absorbs it from the
lungs instead Of the oxygen which is
needed to sustain life.
No Warning Given.
An automobile engine running in an
ordinary small garage with doors and
windows closed will produce enough
carbon monoxide in a few minutes to
cause death. If person is alone in
such a garage, he is generally over
come without warning.
The only safeguard is never to run
your engine unless the garage door Is
open, or at least two windows. If
your engine Is running and you feel
any headache or faintness, even If you
think the ventilation is all right, go at
once into open air-there may be a
pocket of gas in some corner of the
garage.
First Aid.
II you find any one unconscious In
a garage. drag him at once to the open
air If possible. If you cannot do this,
open the doors and windows wide. If
the victim is breathing, send for help.
If the victim has stopped breathing,
start artificial respiration by the prone
pressure method. Send someone else
to call the police, gas company, or cleo
trio company, as they usually have
equipment for resuscitation including
oxygen or carbon dioxide-oxygen in
halators.
If you do not know how to start ar
tificial respiration, learn! Get this in
formation from your local safety coun-
Gil, Red Cross, police department, cleo
trio or gas company, or write to the
National Safety council, Chicago.

Auto Speeder Penalized
bv Increased Tire Bill

A high-grade tire on racing car
will sometimes stand up as far as 500
miles, about ne-twentieth of the life
of tire operated under ordinary con-
ditions. This difference in tire service
is due directly to a difference in the
heat developed.
Heat exerts a deteriorating effect
on rubber in proportion to the in
tensity and length Of time the rub
ber Is exposed to it. Running at high
speed quickly raises the temperature
Of a tire. This heat results from the
internal friction set up in the tire
carcass.
Tires are designed to resist the
effects of heat produced by ordinary
everyday car operation. but they can
not long remain intact when mighty
heated by continuous speeding. The
tire bills of the speeder are likely to
be higher than those of the driver
who proceeds at a moderate pace.

With the arrest in a British port

Serrat, many people learned for the
first time that ship can be arrested,
saws the London Mail
The law of maritime arrest is very
complicated, but it appears that hav-
ing committed a crime a vessel can
he followed until she is caught, even
if she has passed into different owner
shin since her lapse from grace. She
must. however, be arrested in port
where the courts of the country which
has ordered the arrest have jurisdic-
ton. and there are many vessels
afloat today that avoid making voy-
ages to certain countries because
there is a warrant out against them
there.
The crimes that a vesesl can COM
nit are varied, but the most common
is damaging another vessel, or PIERS
or docks, by collision. In such cases
a vessel can be arrested until security
for the damage is given or liability
for damage has been decided in the
courts.

Spring Wisdom

When a spring plate breaks ita is
important to have it repaired or re-
maker, not by any chance blacksmith.
Often break in plate occurs at
place where it does not Immediately
cripple the entire spring, but it is OBJ
vious that the breaking of one plate
throws extra work on the other plates,
which may in turn suffer breakage.
If the intermediate plates should
break at the center bolt, the spring
clips should be frightened down until
il is possible to have the break re-
paired. Very often rebound clips are
loose or broken. Missing rebound
clips may result in broken main plates.

muss easily, and, If soft material Is

use very hot iron on silk. Silk

Give Pregnant Sow Care

ration.

herd at the Wisconsin College of Ag-
riculture, believes that keeping the
sows in clean, dry, well-bedded quar-
tiers, and feeding them away from
houses so they will receive plenty of
exercise by walking back and forth
for their meals, means stronger and
healthier litters- He also advises feed
Ing the following balanced rations
with either alfalfa or clover hay in
feed racks:
Ration number one Is made up Of
20 pounds of corn or barley, 30 pounds
of oats, 20 pounds of standard mid
dlings, pounds Of tankage, 8 pounds
Of oilmeal, 1 pound of bonemeal, and
1 pound of ground limestone This ra-
ton can be fed dry or as a slop- Just
enough of this ration should be fed
to keep sows In good flesh In ration
number two, ear corn Is fed in guam
titles to keep the SOW In good condf-
ten, and from 4 to a pound of an
equal mixture of oilmeal and tankage

PRIME STEERS FOR

ind that steers will fatten as easily
as COWS and will bring higher prices
when finished
"Old COWS of equal breeding with
steers will make the same gains but
when finished they will not command
the same price on the market, due to
the fact that much Of the fat Is laid
on as Intestinal fat or In other places
where the cuts are of low value" says
Prof r. s. Curtis of the animal hus-
bandry department of the North Caro-
lima State college. with steers, the
fat Is accumulated over the back, loin,
and sides or in the region Of high
priced cuts Feeders should be guided
by these facts
This does not mean that feeders
should not buy females because often
times the local market will not pay
the price for good finished steers and
will take the fattened females readily.
1t will also require less capital to pur-
chase and feed old cows as they can
be bought at cheaper price Consid-
ering the fact, however, that old cows
will often be thin when purchased,
they will put on more weight, much Of
