WARNS Of AUTO
Gas THAT
KILLS
Health Officer Fowler Has
Notices Sent to All of 49,
900 City Garages

Conscience-stricken motorists are
advised not to be alarmed if within
the next few days a policeman is
observed slipping a square of white
paper under the door Of the car
owners garage. 1t will only be a
warning from Health Officer Will
liam c. Fowler to beware of
monoxide gas fumes from exhaust
pipes.
Doctor Fowler, feeling the tinge
of fall in the air, realized today that
1t would soon be necessary for
mechanics to take pfecaut1on
automobiles.
1t is imperative that a garage in
which a machine IS running be
ventilated.
The warning which policemen
will thrust under the doors OF
nearly Is 900 garages in Washing
ton reminds one Of the fact that
gas fumes from exhaust pipes are
deadly, and that even under the
best conditions the amount liberated
poiSons the air to a. dangerous
degree.
Dizziness, headache, weakness, or
shortness of breath are signs OF the
presence of the poisonous gas.
If a person is found overcome
the doctor advises. he should be re-
moved to the. fresh air as soon as
possible, and physician should be
summoned in all cases, even though
consciousness may be recovered.
Death may ensue az late as the
eighth day.

New Shows Board
That Air Mail Has
Been Great Success
By KENNETH CLARK
Tn<e-ua tao,,.I ~. ST

international News Service
The. transcontinental air mail
service has successfully fulfilled
its primary mission by breaking
the ground for development of the
commercial aviation industry in
the United States, Harry S. New,
Postmaster General, today told
the Presidents air board.
In opening today's session,
Dwight w. Morrow, chairman, an
nounced that the board would re-
call for cross-examination Major
General Mason II. Patrick, chief
of army air service, and Rear
Admiral w. A. Moffett, chief of
the bureau of aeronautics.
Without the Postoffice's ex-
pertinent in delivery of mail by
air from coast to coast, a feat
which is proving gratifying and
financially remunerative, private
air transportation companies prob
ably would have wasted millions
Of dollars and been retarded in
development for years, New de-
clared.
Assures Commercial Success
But because the department is
speeding letters and packages
through the air for thousands of
miles while the nation sleeps, pri-
waite industry can now enter the
| threshold of air transportation
practically assured Of success.
New envisioned air passenger and
freight service that would cover the
country within a few years.
Now that it has demonstrated
that air transportation not only is
possibility but a real, tangible,
going business, the department
New said, is ready to retire from
| the field and turn over It's activi
| ties to private hands, but only, how
ever, when individuals and corpora
tions can guarantee continuance
and expansion of existing services
Already the Postoffice is getting
| out of the business. he added, by
preparing to let contracts for feeder
lines to the transcontinental sys-
TENS.
Other contracts will be awarded
whenever private hands are able to
take the job off the Department IS
shoulder.
Not In Military Dispute.
''It is, of course, understood that
the Postoffice Department has no
place in any differences existing
among military and naval authori
ties as 20 the best method for, car.

COLUMBUS, Iohio,- August 81 to
September, s.; Des Moines, Iowa,
August % to September 4; Mil
waukee, Wis, August 30 to Septem-

fairs occur during the second week
In September:
Indianapolis, Ind, September z

to 10.
cit is therefore impracticable to
cover all points holding fair during
the fair week Of each, and the sec
ond week In September is recon-
mended on account of limited time
for preparations at Scott Field and
Detroit"
On August IS Lansdowne sent
the following message to the Navy
Department:
''WilI attempt to make Des
Moines first leg but think it en-
tirely impracticable as it means
LOO miles flight to westward. Re-
Casre leave Lakehurst in evening
to avoid losing gas over AlIeghenies
and must land Scott Field before
daylight. Therefore, to make Des
Moines, ship must average forty
miles per hour ground speed to
westward which has never been
made good over this distance. Re-
quest Bay City be held in allegiance
depending on conditions Detroit.
Urgently request no change In
approved schedule.

Aspiring Romeo Gets
$50 Daysiin Jail
For Theft

Leonard Lay, a colored youth,
is an inspiring Romeo, but his
conquests lose a part of their
zest if he does not have a new
suit of clothes and money in his
pocket when he goes. out with a
new acquaintance, it developed
in Police Court today. He will
have an opportunity to continue
his conquests at Occoquan for
the next $50 days.
Lay was charged with the
theft of two suits Of clothes,
valued at $34 each. He is q
tailor and when customers leave
suits that strike his fancy, he
just can't leave them alone, he
admitted. He said that he had
just met girl on whom he
wished to make an impression.
He picked out the suit that best
fitted him and took another to
a second hand dealer, receiving
So for it, but the owner of the
suit turned up and caused his
arrest.
Lay has just finished serving
a sixty-day sentence for the
same offense, his record shows.

THIEF, At SO, PROMISES
TO TURN OVER NEW LEAF

TOKYO, Sept. 23.-''This IS ter
ribIe at my age said an eighty
eight year-old thief when he was
sentenced to jail for stealing q
few small articles from a Tokyo
junk shop man. This Is the last
time I shall breathe the air Of
freedom, as I shall probably die in
prison"
Police Investigations revealed the
man had heen in prison thirteen
times. In view OF his age, and on
| his promise to restore the stolen
articles and turn over new
leaf" he was released that he
might not die behind the bars.

rying on their aeronautical opera
TONS" New reminded the board.
Our activities in the air have
been directed toward the perform
ance Of an important public service
in manner to demonstrate to men
Of means that commercial aviation
is possibility. This is what we
have had in mind in carrying the
transcontinentaI air mail.
1T is not our belief that the
Government should permanently
continue to provide this service
under Government auspices and at
Government expense"
Service Makes Profit
New complained that the service
had insufficient funds for proper
development, being forced to use
at first surplus army planes, but
despite this handicap 1--WE have
built about 1000 miles Of lighted
airway, built our own ships, our
own hangers at all division points,
paid all operating expenses and
have on hand assets valued at
$3,653,00O, as of September is"
A truly remarkable performance,
New said. but which easily can be
bettered by private agencies once
they fully take to the passenger
and freight air business.
Since we instituted our day
and night service, in 1924, we have
been able to meet our schedules
with a degree of regularity that
has been highly gratifying" New
said. "Of course, there have been
instances of delay and interruption
Just as there have been to passen.
ger trains. / think that inquiry
should develop that our delays
have been less numerous than
those of the railroads.
Cites Some Statistics
During the fiscal year ended
June 80 we flew on the transconti-
mental route 2,O7e,7e4 miles, with a
percentage of SO. That is to say,
we flew that many miles with mail.
Including mail, ferry and test, we
flew 2,501 ,555 miles.
1--WE carried 9,30O,52O first-cl
letters, or 232,513 pounds, the total
excess revenue received for these
being $602,627
"Up to this time the department
on all it's air mail operations has
spent about $40, 900, 900.
For the sum we spent we have
carried on the service to date, and
are now taking in about $50, 900 n
month on the transcontinental line
alone"
New spoke highly of the success
of the new night service between
New York and Chicago.
A letter mailed after business
hours reaches it's destination or
the regular first delivery the fol-
lowing morning.
Savings for Business Men
1.-THE opportunity for savings to
banks and business firms afforded
by this service is very great" said
New. 1.-THE service is carrying an
average of more than 200 pounds
of mail in each direction.
'One day last week two planes
were needed to carry the air mail
out of New York.
"At the rate of our receipts for
the last week it is fair to estimate
that the total receipts for the year
on this service will be about
81 900 900.
1T is true of the Postoffice De.
partments as it is of nearly every
thing else, that If we had more
money we think we could produce
better results" declared New. I'VE
have never had a plane that is
really suited for our purposes. We
are greatly restricted in expert
ments and experimentation In a
science as new as that OF aero
