CARBON MONOXIDE GAS is
~ coIorless and odorless. It is
produced when wood, coal, coke,
Illuminating gas, or gasoline is
burned.
If the flame is hot, it is burned
more completely than when the
flame is slow and has insufficient
air. Small amounts of carbon
monoXide cause headache and other
symptoms; large amounts produce
death.
Because of the extensive occur
renee of carbon monoxide in vari-
Gus Industrial pursuits, the New
York state department of labor
has issued warning to workers to
be posted in plants in which vari-
Gus conlbustibles are employed.
These include particularly plants
in which machines are used which
are heated by gas. The warning
applies to workers in the gas indus
try, garages or service stations, fur
naces, steel mills, celluloid manu-
facture, acetylene welding, brass
foundries and various chemical in
dustries.
A few Of the suggestions are so
simple that every workman should
become familiar with them. These

MAYORS Wake Up

CPEAKING of international peace,
y departure of the American
mayors from France removes one
source of worry.
They not only start for home
without having caused a riot, but
in apparent good humor.
To judge from comments they are
reported to have made in saying
farewell, they have found quite a
few things in France worthy Of re-
membrance and respect.
One is impressed with the intense
spirit of nationalism, another with
the equally intense desire for peace,
another with the prevalence Of
neatly kept gardens and another
with the universal effort of France
to understand other people and be
understood by them.

Better Luck Now

CREAT men are having better
" luck with their sons these
days. One reason is, they don't
take their greatness so seriously. g.
In olden times, those out in front
were so busy strutting that they
had little time for the family.
In spite of all the divorcing, re-
marrying, and soul mating, present
day America probably contains a
larger percentage of normal fathers
and mothers than any other nation
that ever existed.
Court records show that about
one il every six marriages fails.
The chances are that an equal, If
not greater, proportion always has
failed. The trouble is, We lack court
records to prove it.

The tiot Wave
XXTEATHER changes are due t,

NTEATHER changes are due to
w the passage of flows" and
thighs" low pressure and high
pressure areas-across the country.
In the summer the contrast be-
tween lows and highs is not as
great as it is in the winter.
For that, and a number Of other
reasons, the behavior of the wea-
Their is different in many respects
in the summer than it is in the
winter.
In winter, the northeast gale fire.
qUently sweeps up the length Of the
entire Atlantic coast, bringing rain
and snow. The summer northeastern
is a localized disturbance. It is
likely to last much longer, however.
Sometimes it will hang on for three
or four days. 1t usually is due to
the stalling of a Glow" of the New
England coast coincident with the
presence of high pressure area
over the Labrador current.
The cold air pours down from the
high" into the Tow" causing the.
formation Of clouds and then rain.
The dreaded hot waves Of sum-
mer are caused by the relation Of
high and low pressure areas over
the United States.
When an area of high pressure
covers the southeastern states,
while a low pressure area advances
from the west across the northern
states, the stage is all set for a
hot wave.
1t will be remembered that air
always flows from an area Of high
pressure into an area of low pres
sure. The flow is not directly into
the low due to the rotary move
ment of the winds which is a result
Of the earth's rotation.
Consequently, as the 'low" moves
across the northern states, heated
air constantly is poured into the
right of the '1ow" from the 'high'E
in the south.

Sons of Great Fathers

A MONG others to find relief at

She charged her husband with
non-support. They had been mar
ried thirty-three years. That, how

Of the case.
Her husbands name Is Henry
Ward Beecher and she says that he
is the son Of the world famous

NEW YORK, June 17.-Reno
IN courts are grinding out di-
vorces at the rate Of ninety-f1ve a
day, with lawyers warned TO drop
all adjectives, but nothing said

Obviously the big idea is to make

scribed as original.

A Foolish Scramble

NOTHING Stays put very long
~ in this world.
Two new islands just have ap-
peared off the coast Of Brazil. They
we're reported by a British captain.
Now there is an international race
on to see who gets them.
The British had a cruiser at
Georgetown. Assuming that she
would be sent out Immediately,
Brazilian authorities started one Of
their own with a double crew in the
boiler room and the safety valve
screwed down.
Such childishneSs is one reason
why we don't make more progress
in international peace.

Is it possible for fish TO remain
alive after being frozen in ice?
An instance is cited where gold
fish remained alive after being
frozen in pond all winter. In
Siberia there are rivers containing
fish which are buried in the mud
and which are frozen all winter, but
are alive in the spring.
Is the unconscious mind the same
as SubconScious mind?
Psychologists speak of the subcon-
scious mind, meaning the mental
processes that lie beneath the sur
face Of active thought. There could
be no such a thing as an uncon-
scious mind unless a person has lost
complete consciousness.

Understanding Needed

ERENCHMEN are not particularly
L different in this respect. AS
Benjamin Franklin said, ut is nat
ural for men to want to do right"
Hate, suspicion and distrust, espe-
cially along national lines, are not
instructive, but the by-productS Of
propaganda, whether intentional or
otherwise.
Professional patriots have played
a large part in stirring them up.
History designed to preserve and
promote old-tine prejudiceS has
done even more.
What Frenchmen need, and what
every one else needs, to understand
others and be understood by them,
includes little more than honest,
straightforward contact.

Prophet Watson

Just one year ago today Senator James E Watson,
who on Sunday told the Republican editors that he
would again be a candidate for his high Office, was
impassionatey talking on the floor of the senate
He was defending the Smoot- Hawley tariff meas
ure and denouncing then, as he denounces now, any
one who dared suggest that the bill was mistake
Here was what Watson said, just one year ago:
1t is my prediction today, deliberately made
on the floor Of the United States senate that
after passage Of this bill this afternoon the skies
will clear and within a comparatively short
time the sun again will shine and bring back
prosperous conditions and happy days for the
people Of the United States.
If did not believe that to be true-and it
has proved true in the passage of every tariff
act in the history Of the nation-I would oppose
this bill instead of faVoTing it.
Tt is quite true that we are in the midst of
financial depression but here and
predict, and I ask my fellow senators to recall
this prediction in the days to come, that if this
bill is passed this nation will be on the upgrade
financially, economically and commercially
within thirty days and that within year from
this time we shall have regained the peak Of
prosperity lost last October e.
Well, the thirty days passed and instead of being
on the upgrade financially, the country in tail
spin. The lines of jobless men grew. The number of
unemployed increased Factories, whose owners
feared loss of foreign trade, were compelled to re-
duce forces, and many reduced wages
Now the year has passed. the year which the SEN
ator said would return the peak of prosperity
AL too we'll the people know that as a prophet
Watson once more is a failure. He was as wrong in
his predictions he wrong in his economic argu-
ments for the measure
Will he admit mistake and undo the wrong he did
the country and its citizens? Probably not

The thunderstorm

TINE hot wind of summer usually
Il is accompanied by an increase
in humidity. The heat evaporates
local moisture and the winds bring
in additional moisture.
After three or four days of hot
spell, the moisture accumulated is
SO great, that a local thunderstorm
usually results. The fourth or fifth
day usually sees the end Of a hot
spell.
This is caused by the arrival of a
high" which has been travelling
some distance behind the low,
The contact Of the cool front Of
this high" with the warm area
results in thunderstorms of great
violence along what is known as the
''windshift line"
This is the line where the hot
winds of the ''low" meet the cool
winds Of the thigh"
The windshiTt line thunderstorms
usually are very violent. They are
accompanied by terrific downpours
Of rain and occasionally by winds
OF destructive VIOLENCE.
While most hot spells are caused
by winds coming in from the south
in the way just described, occasional
hot spells are caused by winds from
the northwest.
Extreme hot spells Of this type
were experienced during the first
half Of the summer of 1923 in the
northeastern part Of the United
States. The heated air in these hot
spells flowed in from the great
plains, coming distances of more.
than thousand miles over the dry
heated ground.
Hot spells from the northwest
differ from the usual type, because
Of their extreme dTyness.
Such volumes Of air were involved
in the 1923 hot spell that not even
the Great Lakes, usually an effec-
tive force for cooling, had much
influence upon them.
