SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice BeIden-

YOU see now and then = news
4 paper account OF somebody
having been Frustrated or having
died from exposure tn the ex-
haust gas Of an automobile. I
recall having called your atten-
ton to this danger in connection
with the death OF a. man who
one morning entered his I'm, enti-
lated garage to tinker with bis
car. That occurred because the
gas was the deadly carbon
monoxide and had been accumu-
lsting during the night. There
has been much apprehension felt
about the accumulation Of this
gas in canyons, called streets, in
which the automobile traffic is
very heavy.
Recently Bloomfield and Isbell,
under direction of Surgeon Cen
eral Hugh s. Cumming, Of the
United States Public Health Ser4
vice. made a survey to ascertain
whether or not . health hazard
from carbon monoxide existed in
the streets OF large cities, inside
OF auto buses and in repair
shops.
Fourteen of the largest cities in
the country were visited. They
had combined population of
more than 10000, 900. Some $50
samples of air We're obtained for
carbon monoxide analysis. The
average of 141 tests, made in city
streets at peak hours of traffic,
showed q, contamination of OK
part Of carbon monoxide in 10000
parts of air. Only "a per cert of
all the street samples had more
Than part of carbon monoxide
in 10000 of air. and in only one
location, a. covered passageway,
was there as much as 2 parts
per 10000. Samples taken inside
of autobusses yielded even lower
concentrations of carbon nonoxide
gas.
The figures for street air. when
viewed in the light of presenr-day
standards of exposure 10 carbon
monoxide. do not reveal the ex-
istence of a health hazard from
this source in city streets. The
only individual who may possibly
be exposed to q. health hazard
may be n1inimiZed by diminish
ing the duration Of exposure at
the most congested traffic sta.
tons.
In the l02 tests made in 81 ga.
RACES IN the IA cities visited he
average carbon monoxide content
was found to be FL parts in
10000. More than half the sam
pies $50 per cent? contained more
than / parr Of carbon mcnoxide,
and Is per cent of all the samples
contained more than parts Of
this gas in 10000 parts OF air.
The results for repair shops
show a, dangerous condition that
demands the serious CONSIDERATION
of those concerned. This hazard
in repair shops may be reduced
70 a minimum by nor allowing the
motors of automobiles to run longer
than 80 seconds unless the car
is in necessary motion or the ex-
haust is connected to the outside
air by a direct air-tight outlet of
ample caliber. Without such out

IMMIGRATION BILL

bN the Associated iiess.
MEXICO CITY. March l0.--It was
indicated In circles close to the Mexi-
can government today that bar on
Mexican immigration to the United
States for reasons Of alleged racial in
fcriority would be considered extremely
offensive by the Gales administration.
Although there has been no official
comment unless Gen. Obregon's state
ment to American editors early this
week might be considered such--dis-
patches from Washington announcing
the consideration of proposals to place
Mexican labor in the same class with
that of Oriental immigrants has
aroused much interest and Some dis
pleasure.
Most Comment Unfavorablc.
These dispatches have been given an
uppermost play III the Mexico City
newspapers. and there has been con-
siderable editorial comment most of 1t
untavorable to the proposals.
1t is believed the Mexican govern
ment would welcome some way OF keep
ing Mexican laborers at home instead
of SEEING them 60 by the thousands
every year to the United States. but at
the same time 1t is believed By some
unusually we'll informed observers that
the Mexican Government would feel ag
grieved should Mexicans be barred
from the United States on the ground
they are not white" people although
how the government would make its
grievance known remains to be seen.
Morrow Is Silent.
Ambassador Morrow has declined to
comment on the situation but some
Americans think his good will work
will be greatly hampcrcd in the event
Mexicans be denied entrance to the
United States under restrictions which
