been brought out BY DR.. Sinclair
Battley american Journal Pub
lie HEALTH relative to the suscep.
tibllity Of al persons, children e.
pecially. to the fumes that result
from gasoline combustion in auto
mobiles.
AS matter Of fact, the advan-
tages Of the automobile are offset
by many hazards. Road accidents
are frequent and cause great
number OF deaths. but the grow
ing danger of poisoning from the
fumes is not recognized as it
should be. The newspapers fire.
quently record the death Of people
who have. allowed their motors to
run in the garage and have been
overcome by the fumes. But apart
from these gross risks, there Is
the danger of slow poisoning from
the fumes that fill our city streets
at rush hours.
The active principle OF the
fumes Is, of course, carbon mon
oxide, which has neither taste nor
smell. and which will kill grown.
up people in 4 very small concen-
tration. The exhaust gas of
car contains 5 to s per cent OF
this gas, even when the carbure-
tor is properly adjusted, but when
1t is out of setting the proportion
Is much higher.
Until recent years, the problem
was not an acute one. The gases
of a few moving automobiles, dis
charged in the canyons that we
call streets, are quickly diluted to
harmless proportion. Now
however, that the streets are
crowded at rush hours with cars
and heavy trucks that produce
great quantities of fumes, and
that masses of vehicles ara con-
stantlv held up at crossings with
their motors running. the pollu-
ton Of the atmosphere actually
reaches the danger point for
adults. Traffic policemen often
leave their days work feeling
i'll from the poison they have been
forced to breathe, and their blood
has shown, when tested, con-
centration of carbon monoxlde to
oue-third of saturation point.
Considering that a stationary car,

is stored by the blood. The result

He makes no attempt to reform

he pity or console them.
HE SIMPLY DOES NOT
JUDGE THEM.
He accepts a people az they are
without a. question. He never
asks what they have done. He
does not even care what they
have done. He only cares for
THEM-for that inner self which
is so strangely remote from the
acts OF the body. He is friendly
to that inner self. respects it and
greets 1t with the greeting of a
comrade.
And because he does this, he re-
leases people from fear. He re-
leases them from fear as q NOUN
