whether the addition to gasoline
of the tetraethyl lead and the halogen

have caused the Bureau of Mines to
give increasing attention to the ques.
ton Of carbon monoxide poison. me
bureau has learned that four parts
of carbon monoxide in 10, 900 parts of
air is harmful to human beings. The
poison is undetected usually until the
person Is overcome, thus making
necessary the development OF sensi-
tive equipment which will detect the
gases automatically.
Apparatus that detects the presence
of poisonous gases in the atmosphere
has been developed by the bureau.
The device is sufficiently sensitive to
record the presence Of one part car
bon monoxide poison in 10000 parts
of air. 1t may. be set to register at
any given percentage of gas by the
ringing of gongs or bells when such
percentage is reached. This serves
as a warning to persons in charge of
ventilation systems that more air IS
required to diminish the percentage
of poisonous gas.
THE Holland vehicular tunnel now
being completed under the Hud'
son River between New York CITY
and New Jersey has installed an
elaborate ventilating system for pre-
venting the presence of excessive III
furious gases. The system has been
developed mainly as result or eX'
periments with the Bureau OF Mines
carbon monoxide recorder. and is SAID
to be the most efficient ventllatlng
machinery ever produced
The principle employed in the de-
sign of the new carbon monoxlde
recorder is measurement by means or
thermocouples Of the increased tenn
perature Of the gases when the CARBON
monoxide and oxygen react chemlcai-
ly in the presence of a catalyst, the
thermoelectric effects being recoroeo
by means of a recording potentlome-
ter After extended experimentation
and development, a recorder was pro
duced which is not apprec1ably al
fected by the presence of other gases
and which is capable of indicating
and continuously recording the hlghly
diluted carbon monoxide.
The apparatus is an Improvement
upon equipment developed for use In
the Liberty vehicular tunnels at Pitts
bur1h. There are two tunnels 5,S6S
feet long, Midway in each tunnel a
two.compartment shaft leads to a fan
house at the surface. There are eight
huge fans, four of which exhaust the
air longitudinally through ha4f OF the
tunnels, while four blow air through
the other half. The fans run from
about Z o'clock in the morning until
nearly midnight. From midnight
through the early morning hours the
tunnels have natural ventilation. AT
no time since the recorder was In
stalled has the carbon monoXlde in
the tunnels exceeded 4 parts per TO-
000 Of air.
The Bureau of Mines for some years
has been studying the properties OF

LOS ANGELES. Calf, July 31.-
Authorities investigating reports that
a woman answering the description OF
Aimee Semple Mcpherson spent 10
days at cottage at Carmel, Calf,
during the time of the evangelist S
recent disappearance, are confronted
with kilograms from Chicago and San
Francisco denying the pastor visited
the resort town as claimed by Deputy
District Attorney Joe Ryan.
Ryan recently investigated the re-
ports and announced he believed the
evangelist's case was solved. He de-
clared he could produce at least three
witnesses. to identify the woman as
Mrs. Mcpherson. He also claimed
to have developed evidence to show
that Kenneth G.. Ormiston, who acted
as radio operator for Mrs. Mcpherson
at Angelus Temple, visited, Carmel
during the time the woman occupied
the cottage.

nations 80 long as Europeans are

copal Church, in a statement made
public yesterday. Dr. Wilson asserted
that the adoption Of prohibition in
Europe would so far toward solving
the financial and economic difficulties
of that part of the world He said
in part:
at may be accepted that American
prosperity in contrast to European
financial difficulties is the direct
cause of the agitation in Europe for
debt reputation. Europe believes
the war fathered present American
prosperity. This belief will not sur
vive even a cursory examination of
the facts. 1t Is undoubtedly true
that some Americans made fortunes
by the increased trade with Europe
before the United States entered the
war. But this prosperity touched Il
relatively small group and once
America had interviewed, it immediate
IL expended ON military operations
and other war activities sums vastly
in excess of the war profits which
had accumulated previously. 1t also
lent to Europe vast sums which arc
now matters of rabid If one-sided dis
cusSion.
Leading authorities on finance and
commerce, both the theorists of AGA
demic halls and men of practical af-
fairs, have expressed the opinion
that prohibition is direct cause of
Americas marvellous advance in the
last few5 years.
Few people realize that the ex.
pehditures on drink before prohibi.
ton was not less than S2,438, 900, 600
annually. a sum which by natural in
crease in price would amount to five
billion dollars today.
Europe was. perhaps, able to deal
with it's drink loss before 1t sustained
its war injuries, but the continuation
of these losses on top of the war
losses makes n situation impossible
with which to deal. Great Britain at

NEW YORK, July 31.-Alleging
that he is entitled to 99.999 shares in
the AGO Mining Co., a $60,000,00 cor
poration, John w. Haniy, one Of the
organizers. began suit yesterday in
the Supreme Court.
The action was directed against
Carl S. Flanders, William w. Clarke,
RiIla B. Klouf, executrix under the
will of Samuel Klouf, and the Acc
Mining Co. The petition alleged that
on March 10, 1923, an agreement was
made whereby 399 1896 shares held in
trust by Flanders were to be divided
equally among Hanly, the Klouf
estate, Flanders and Clarke. It ayers
that Flanders has refused to give
Hanly his quarter of these shares.
Hanly, Klouf and Flanders organ
lied the company in Arizona in May,
1929, the petition states, and Clarke
was admitted upon the death of
Klouf. The company owns extensive
gold, silver and lead mines in Brecken-
ridge, Colo, including the Hicks De-
troit Mine, Warriors Mark Mine,
Alpha Claim and other claims.

EMBARGO ON ARMS
NOT TO Be LIFTED

President Said to Intend No
Change in u. S. Policy
Toward Mexico.

BY the Associated Press.
PAUL SMITHS, y. y, July 81.
The presidential spokesman has be-
come sufficiently laxative to reveal
Mr.. CooIidge's view that the embargo
on arms to Mexico will not be lifted;
that aviation is still too costly for ex-
tensive commercial use, and his as
surance that Secretary Mellon is in
Europe solely for vacation.
In view of the present religious stu.
alton in Mexico. President Coolidge
does not expect that any action will
he taken in the near future toward
lifting the embargo on arms to that
country, which has been in force for
n year and a half. Mr.. Coolidge has
discussed the question with Secretary
Kellogg several times, but they never
reached a conclusion.
The President feels there is every
reason to believe that the future will
see passengers and certain types of
merchandising being carried by air,
although at present that aspect OF
commercial flying is regarded by him
as rather more of an expectation than
an accomplishment due largely to the
expense of aerial transportation.
The outline of the Presidents views
on flying was given as, a result of the
visit he had earlier in the week with
Edsel Ford. The President regards
attempts to predict the future of any
new industry as futile. The ridicule
heaped upon telegraph and telephone
in their early days was recalled as an
example of the inadvisability of the
efforts at forecasting future industrial
developments.
