A pamphlet warning against
poisonous gases caused by auto
mobile motors and other gasoline
engines is being diktributed to
all local garages by the District
Health Department, it was an
nounced today. The leaflet says
in part:
"Fumes from the exhaust Of
an automobile, and other gas0-
line engines, are poisonous and
have often caused death. The
danger is due to carbon mo-
nOxide, q cOlorless and odOrless
gas, contained in the fumes.
The degree of combustion in
the engine has an influence
upon the amount of carbon
monOxide discharged, but even
under the best conditions the
amount liberated pOisOns the
air to a dangerous degree ua-
less there is abundant ventila-
tiOn.
mo one should remain alone
i'm q room into which the
gases from an automobile are
being discharged, since he may
without warning be rendered
unconscious by the gases, or, as
sometimes occurs, paraIyzed by
them even though not rendered
unconscious, and, being unable
promptly to obtain fresh air, he
may, without possibility of aid,
be killed."

MOTOR RACKET.
ST|RS POLICE

A new automobile racket"
whereby thieves may strip cars
of their belongings under the pre-
tense of ownership, was under po-
lice investigation today.
An official of Call Carts gar
age reported that he received a
phone message from a mfr. Nit
chell'' last night to take his auto
mobile from the Harrington Hotel
to the garage. The man described
the car and gave its license num-
ber.
After the car had been removed
to the garage, L. G.. Stambler, a
guest at the hotel, came to the
garage and reported his car Sto-
len. He produced credentials
showing the car was his.
It is believed that racketeers
are making use of the practice SO
they might rifle automobiles of
belongings when they come for

Property Owner Bares Phone
Call; Police Said to Have
Tried Dropping the Charges

The 1ruitlesS raid by local
police with an alleged perjured
search warrant on the home Of
William p. FIythe, 1906 g st. N.
W., a newspaper man assigned to
the White House, was placed be-
fore the Grand Jury for its in
vestigation today.
j. NJ. Burke, the informer, who
is said to have sworn to the affl-
davit, was not at the court house
when the Grand Jury began its
investigation. But Sergeant George
Little, of the police liquor squad,
said the informer could be
reached IL he is wanted.
Mr.. Flythe was accompanied TO
the court house by his personal
friend, Col. Charles j. Ferris, OF
the Army and Navy Club, who
says that he has been a frequent
guest at the Flythe home for
many years and knows that Mr..
Flythe never engaged in the sale
of liquor.
Phone Can Barred
An interesting feature Of the
Grand Jury's investigation is sup
posed to involve the testimony OF
william H. Hutcherson, the real
estate man with offices In the
McGilI Building, agent for the
property occupied by Mr.. Flythe.
Mr.. Hutcherson says that on
last Thursday night at his home
near Marlboro, he received a long
distance telephone call from an
anonymous person advising MN
that still was being operated in
the Flythe home. He said:
'The information disturbed
me so that came to town
early Friday morning and went
Immediately to Mr.. Flythe's
home. 1t was my idea to ascer-
tain for myself and for the pro-
lection Of the owners Of the.
property IL this condition ac-
tually existed, because I knew
of the drastic paddock procedure
frequently undertaken by the
District Attorneys office.
Found Nothing in Search
:'Mr. Flythe received me at
the door and invited me to
investigate. I made a thorough
search of the house even into
the basement which is barely
large enough for the coal bin
and furnace, but found neither
still nor signs that q still
had been i'm the house at all.
I searched dark corners of the
basement with o lighted match.
and could not find . drop of
liquor"
Later during the day, Mr..
Hutcherson said that Mr.. Flythe
had phoned him at his office and
complained that an unknown per-
son had just been at his house
trying to buy pint Of liquor.
The raid occurred on the follow.
ing day.
Mrs. Julia Flythe, wife Of the
newspaper man, appeared at the
Grand Jury room with Mrs. ].

friend, who was present in her
home last Monday when Police
man r. A. Williams called to
suggest that the investigation be
dropped. =

MOSCOW BUILDS
APARTMENTS

A large number Of apartment
and office buildings have been
erected in Moscow in the last two
years, and otherG are now under
construction. These new buildings
are of reinforced concrete and
many are eight stories high.
American methods are used In
the construction Of these build
ings, although they are not
erected as quickly as their coun-
terparts in the United States.
Elevators used il these buildings
are generally Of American make.
Traffic is a different kind Of
problem in Moscow than in
American cities. The engineer
estimated that there are about
500 pleasure cars in the entire
city. but trolley cars are more
numerous in proportion than else
where. Jay.walking rules are
rigidly enforced, and offenders
are dealt with sternly. The
streets are quite narrow, having
been laid out centuries ago, and
there is considerable congestion
at times.
There are no provisions for
radio receivers in the apartment
houses, as the radio is a govern.
ment monopoly, and sets with
loud speakers are installed for
the reception Of entertainment
programs in large halls. Accord
ing to the engineer it is impos-
sible to l. axe comparisons Of life
in Moscow with existence else
where, as it is entirely unlike
any other city which he had
visited. He said, however, that
while many of the citizens he met
on the street were evidently not
prosperous, he saw no signs of
extreme want or starvation.

The most ample closet space is

This new compound material

LiUdbiLity Measures
True Value of Home

Today, the value of a home is
measured primarily by it's livabil-
ity. Architectural design, beauty
of finish and location are impor-
tant, but a handsome house that
lets its occupants shiver in winter
and swelter in summer isn't worth
much either to live in or for SELL
ing.
A good heating plant in the
basement and good insulation
board in the walls is worth more
than a gorgeous exterior. A con-

The graceful mode Oh tne
English Eighteenth century has
been followed in the decorative
treatment of living rooms in the

ham while the bedroom decora'
t,on is French in Influence.
The soft ivory walls and dell,
cate panelings characteristic OF
Eighteenth century style supply
an ideal background for every
tvne of furnishing and one never
tires of this classic and unootru-
sive treatment.
1872 Apartments
The hotel has 132 apartment
units ranging from two to nine
rooms, and $50 rooms and suites
for transient guests. OF the apart
ment units, about SO per cent are
furnished. So rapidly has ieas-
ing progressed that none OF Une
unfurnished apartments are no"
available. while only a small per
centage of the furnished units
are still open for occupancy
In arranging rooms for transl-
ent guests as we'll as in planning

to avoid the selection OF typlcaI

of a room in which furnishings
Of distinction and comfort have

The effect of this departure

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE SEASON
OPENS TUESDAY

SAN FRANCISCO, April Z. WR-
! Favored by the same sunny skies
that have made the training season
successful, the Pacific Coast league s
1880 season viii open tomorrow.
More than six months the eight
teams in the circuit will play sever
! games a week and there is every
reason to believe they will attract
S many fans as in the past.
Each section of the Pacific coast
has Il real pennant contender this
year.
In Southern California the Los
angeles Angels have one of the best
balanced teams they have presented
FOR some time.
San Francisco Seals loom as the
pride of baseball followers in the
Northern part of the state.
Portland's Beavers furnish the
most serious threat that has come
from the Pacific northwest for sew
eral Years.
A large number of experts have
declared that the Angels are their
preseason choice.
The Hollywood Sheiks, who won
he pennant last year, have not
slumped noticeably but the opinion
that Los Angeles and the Seals will
play better ball than was necessary
20 win bali games last season.
Tom Turner, president of the Port
land Beavers, has been unusually
energetic in building up his ball
club and he is not finished yet. He
hopes to sign "S:ug' Tolson, first
baseman for the Chicago Cubs, and
j IN m Y Mclaughlin, Sacramento IS
third baseman. These two additions
would probably give Portland enough
power to hold a place among the
first three.
New owners, new manager and
new players have made Oakland a
team to be feared. Under Carl Fam
loch, former coach of the University
Of California, the Oaks have lined
up group of players who they
claim vii flight as hard when on
he losing end as they do when they
are winning.
The greatest puzzle of the circuit
is afforded by the San Francisco
Missions. Tnoy finished second in
1929 but they lost Slade and Finn
to the majors and their hitting has
been poor in practice.
Sacramento and Seattle, w h i c
stronger than last year, can hardly
be expected to finish in the first
division unless their exhibitions have
been under wraps.
