DEADLY DANGERS
OF EXHAUST GAS
Experts Tell of Carbon Mon
oxide Peril in Motor
Car Garages.

With more than 20,OOO,000 motor
cars registered in the United States
and contemplated 1926 production
of 100000 more automobiles, vari-
GUS organizations are. starting an edu-
cational crusade against carbon mon
oxide deadly motor exhaust gas).
Insurance investigators and chem
ical authorities. not to mention gov
eminent health officials, agree that
this gas is one of the most deadly of
all gases. The very fact that it at
tacks without warning and that but
simple precautions are necessary to
prevent its large Iife-taking toll de
mands, authorities believe, wide
spread educational program compar-
able to the tremendous increase in the
use of automotive vehicles.
Most Deadly in Garages.
1t is estimated that millions of au-
tomobiles are kept in public garages.
1t is in the garage that monoxide gas,
as it is commonly called, gets in its
deadliest work. Automobile engines
are constantly running in all public
garages, and they release a deadly
flood of this highly poisonous gas for
employees to breathe. Without proper
ventilating precautions this menacing
practice eliminates the entrance of
the lighter oxygen and results in
practically closed chamber with the
air loaded with this gas.
xrvoII Iyrox.v,, i,,e,,,,so ao ix,rocti for.
aptly explains monoxide gas and its
effect as follows: There is no means
Of detecting it's presence by smell,
sight or other senses. Its attack is in
sidious and quick, and perfectly well
person may topple over unconscious
without warning. While the automo-
bile engine is in operation it con-
Stantly creates flow of carbon mon
oxide gas through its exhaust, and
experiments have shown that only a
remarkably short time is necessary to
fill a garage with sufficient quantities
of this gas to cause instant death to
occupants
overbalances oxygen.
A representative of a national ven
tilating society declares that carbon
monoxide "overbalances oxygen when
breathed into the lungs" Explain
ing the effect of this poison on per-
son, he said: There are two proper
ties of the blood essential to proper
respiration, the white and red blood
cells. The latter absorbs oxygen,
drRDyn into the lungs, and distributes
49, Eli parts of the body. Now mon
oxidel gas is attracted to the red cells
300 times more strongly than is oxy-
gen, and it easily saturates the
blood This absorption Of monoxide
gas by the blood temporarily replaces
the oxygen supply and quickly induces
asphyxia"
A small leak in the exhaust of a
closed automobile will cause head
ache and tired feeling to the occu-
pants, authorities agree. The same is
true of confinement in a closed room
where gas burners are in operation.
This is directly due to the presence
of carbon monoxide and the lack of
oxygen through improper ventilation.

AS Told by
Irwin S. Cobb
A CIRCULATING MEDIUM

THIS story has the merit of being
4 applicable to these days although,
to the best of my knowledge and be-
lief, it originated back in the Wicked
Days prior to January, 1920.
An auctioneer's man had been sent
to household to list its contents.
Nothing of especial interest, either to
himself or to others, marked the
course of his labors until he had pro-
crossed so far as the dining room.
Here, following his routine, he pro-
ceeded to enumerate the furnishings
in proper order, item by item.
In his flowing professional script he
set down the tally in his book:
One mahogany dining room table.
Six mahogany dining chairs.
One mahogany sideboard.
One bottle, full.
Seemingly, then, ensued period
when the appraiser was otherwise en-
gagged and made no entries whatso-
ever Then, in a somewhat stray
Cling and uncertain handwriting. he
scratched out the last item and con-
Guided his labors for the day. with the
following notation:
One bottle, partially full.
One revolving Turkish rug.

A rapher, "have you had your

"Your tonsils," repeated the girl.

''But 1 can'ti 1 am consoled by the

ever that he had escaped this terrible
trouble that had come to Leaper the

Soon patter, patter, patter made
itself heard among the leaves
MY goodness! Can that be rain"
Freddie Firefy exclaimed. 1.-THE moon
is shining. And don't see cloud in
the sky"
Even as he spoke the strange sound
grew louder.
Can it be hailing?" Freddie asked
Riddle Katydid anxiously.
"Oh, mop Kiddie told him. "What
you hear is nothing but Leaper the
Locust's cousins family. They're just
beginning to arrive"
Freddie Firefiy could scarcely be-
lieye his own ears.

More than that! /" Riddle Katydid
replied

Freddie Firefiy. you don't mean to
say there are more of 'em than THAR"
"There are tens of thousands and
hundreds of thousands" Kiddie Katy
did declared solemnly. They'll eat
everything they can find And we
shall be lucky If they leave enough
for the rest of us to live on, after
they pass on"
How did you learn all this? Fred
die Firefiy wanted to know.
THAT'S another of my secrets" said
Riddle katydid.
SO Freddie Firedy went off to hunt
for Leaper the Locust. He knew now
why Leaper had struggled to escape
from that mysterious messenger with
the curious message. And Freddie in
tended to ask Leaper good many
questions about his cousins.
But he couldn't find Leaper any
where. He searched for him high and
low, and far and wide. But nobody
know where Leaper was.
"There are lots of Short-horns ev-
erywhere tonight" Benjamin Bat told
him. Il claim any one of them is just
as good as another And Benjamin
grinned horribly.
Freddie Firehy shuddered. It
seemed to him that he had never
passed such dreadful night before.
But Benjamin Bat was having the
time of his life. He said that he
hoped the Short-horns would like
Pleasant Valley so well that they
would decide to stay right there for
the rest of their days. But, strange
to say, Benjamin made things as I'M
pleasant as possible for the newcom-
ers. He ate as many of them as he
could, remarking that from such
horde a few would scarcely be missed.

Accidents Likely When
Brakes Are Water-Soaked

Brakes should be given special at
tention after car has been washed
or has been driven through water or
splashy mud. In either case, water
is almost sure to get into and soak the
external brake bands, and under such
conditions water is very much of a
lubricant and will have much the same
effect as oil in preventing the brakes
from taking hold promptly. Hence
the first time you need to stop In q
hurry, you are very likely to find that
they refuse to take hold promptly and
a bad smashup may be the result.
The remedy for suspected wet
brake bands is to drag the brake a
few times Immediately after leaving
the washstand. The increased pres
sure on the brake bands forces out the
water and allows it to dry off, SO that
when needed in an emergency, they
will take hold promptly.
Where grease, oil, mud, dirt and so
on have produced sort of glaze on
the brake bands, they cannot be ex-
pected to take hold as they should
and accidents are likely to happen.
About the only effective way to rem
edy this trouble is to take off the
brakes and remove the glaze with a
rough file or hacksaw blade or to wash
the lining with gasoline and scrub it
with a wire brush.

NEWS NOTES FROM THE
COUNTY AGENTS OFFICE

The marketing association has
sold the Thanksgiving turkeys. The
growers received CSC a pound for
number one birds. This is a high
price and in all probabilities the
Christmas price will be higher.
Why are turkeys SO high? 1t is
because the large producing sec
lions have been forced out of the
game, leaving only those sections
which are comparatively new to
supply the market.
What forced the old producing
sections out? Heavy losses from
disease and intestinal parasites
probably did as much or more than
anything else.
This should be a warning to the
new sections where turkey raising
is becoming an industry. Park
county has already suffered heavy
losses from disease. These losses
will increase with the growth of the
business.
There are several farmers in
Park county today who cannot grow
turkeys on their farms because of
infected premises.
These losses can be overcome in
nearly every case. 1t will require
the strictest kind of sanitary meas
ures.
The farmer who insists on keep
ing turkeys and chickens together
will go out of the game first, and
it won't be many years either . He
may get by this year and next
but watch out.
The main loss is due to black
head, a disease brought on by in
testinal worms. Keep the turkeys
free from worms and there will be
no black-head to speak of. Never
feed turkeys on the ground-use
clean troughs. Never feed turkeys
and chickens together. Don't let
them live together@keep them sep
arate as much as possible. Keen
a supply of tobacco on hand and
feed it according to prescribed
methods. 1t is a. good preventative
and cheap insurance.
The Irma Flat Farm Bureau held
its annual election of officers on
Friday night. They had a splendid
meeting and elected the following
officers: Geo. PfrangIe, chairman;
Axel Andren, secretary-treasurer.
Project leaders: G. A. Bradbury,
livestock; Hans Nelson, dairy, hay
and grain; Frank Wilson, cultivated
crops; Bart Haffey, poultry; Geo.
Pfrangle, boys and girls club work;
Mrs. Bradbury, nutrition; Mrs. Wag-
oner, clothing.
With these folks in the harness

bright prospects for the coming
year.

Besides this, the association has
awarded George Pfrange, Jr., and
Glenn Bartlett a gold pencil with
their names engraved on them.
These prizes were awarded for the
showing these boys made at the
county fair.
A visit was made to the lamb
feeding projects at Powell last
week. The lambs look fine for the
short time they have been fed, and
good gains are promised.
1t is interesting to watch the
different operations, two panel sys-
tens and a self feeder for hogs are
being used by Edgar Swallow and
Harry Anderson. Mr.. Anderson and
Clay Miller have had their lambs
on pasture since bringing them off
the range. They will probably &c
on grain rations this week. Wal
lace Anderson and S. A. Nelson
have their lambs on grain and they
are responding nicely.
1t is possible that the feeding in
dustry will become the leading en-
terprise in Park county within the
next few years, and it will be well
for every farmer to watch the op-
Grafton now in action. %,
