War ON SCHOOL
CHILDREN LIFTS
Warnings Issued Against
Dangerous Practice.

Almost simultaneously Traffic Com
missioner Donahue of Washington, D.
c., and the American Automobile as
ISOLATION came forward with timely
warnings to motorists against the dan
gerous practice of giving 'tpick up
rides to children ON their way to and
from school.
The traffic commissioner branded
the practice as a breeder of street &C.
cidents in which children, playing on
the big-heartedness Of the motorist,
are often the victims.
The least that usually happens,
Donahue declares. is a nasty traffic
smart created by the distraction result
ing from a childss cry for a Tilt and
the interruption Of the flow Of traffic
as the 'big-hearted" Tmotorist snakes
his way toward the curb in am effort
to crafty the wish Of the child.
Cause Of Accidents.
Hundreds Of accidents are caused
annually because children do not real
lie that this practice constitutes one
Of the gravest of highway hazards
and parents and motorists should
concentrate their energies on dis
couraging this habit which seems to
be manifesting itself on a constantly
larger SCALE" the A. A. A. national
headquarters declared.
Appeal TO Parents.
In the opinion of both Donahue
and officials Of the national motor
ing body, the problem calls for full
cooperation on the part Of parents
and motorists. Neither. they declare,
can afford to shirk responsibility in
the matter. Teachers, too, can do
much toward discouraging the child
from taking such risks.

past few months that there has been
a great revival Of interest in mine
gases and the way they act.
In a recent issue Of the Bulletin

the way mine gas, which is simply
carbon monoxide, affects the victim.
That it generally acts quickly, at least
to the point Of paralyzing the indi-
vidual, there is apparently abundance
of proof. This has been clearly shown
In many mine accidents where, after
the rescue party got into the mine,
dead men were found with their
lunches In their hands or even holding
tools with which they had been work

Besides the fatal cases in which
miners are overwhelmed by rush
Of gas which hardly gives them time
to move in their tracks, miners are
frequently affected by small amounts
of gas, only enough to produce head
ache or throbbing In the head, blur
ring or dimming of the eyes, roaring
In the ears and feeling Of weak
ness and giving way in the legs. In
some cases there is sweetish taste
or dryness in the throat, nausea or
pain In the stomach.
Glaister, who has studied the sub
ject fully, says that old miners have
told him that the first warning Of dan
ger they had was the feeling Of weak
ness but that the gas had already so
dulled their minds that they went on
working In a mechanical way, until
they tainted without making any ef-
