by u 8. Census data, indicate that car
bon nionoxide deaths are increasing out
of proportion to other forms Of acct
dental death. From a total Of 123
deaths from this cause in 1924 the
figures went to 487 in 1891. In 1882
the toll jumped nearly IS per cent in
single year to sos; and represented
an eight-year increase of nearly 400
per cent. This increase is especially
striking when it Is remembered that
accidental deaths from all causes de-
creased nearly ten per cent last year
from the 1881 figure.
Carbon monoxide gas takes its
heaviest toll in residence garages. The
fact that it is odorless, tasteless and
invisible makes it especially insidious.
The motorist goes into his garage on a
cold morning and, finding the motor
cold, he proceeds to run the engine in
the closed building until it warns up,
unmindful of the fact that the purring
motor may be hunnming his requiem
When no fresh air is present a running
motor will generate sufficient amount
of the gas to kill within few minutes
The driver usually succumbs before he
is even aware of his peril
Records show that many of the car
bon monoxide fatalities occur on the
highways when the exhaust pipe be-
comes choked and the gas seeps ur
into the tightly closed car or cab in colo
weather. This hazard, of course, has
become much more. prevalent in recent
years since the vast majority of auto
mobiles are now of the closed type
Several cases were reported last winter
in which two, three and even foul
members of family succumbed tc

along the highway.
Other deaths occur from operating
household gas appliances, stoves, fur
naces and other heating devices which
have become defective and are being
used in poorly ventilated homes.
The arch-enemy of carbon monoxide
gas is fresh air. Plenty of it in the
garage, in the closed car and in the
home will eliminate the hazard.
Scores of fatalities are averted each
year. according to the Council, by the
prompt and proper application of the

POULTRY AND POULTRY
PRODUCTS

An added feature this year at the
State Poultry Show held in Milford,
January 10 to 13, was that of the
women's meetings at which discus
sions and demonstrations were Civ
en- on the canning of chicken and
the uses of poultry and poultry pro-
ducts. says Miss Pearl Macdonald
extension service, University of Del
aware.
Every farm family, continues Miss
Macdonald, should plan for an ade-
quate food supply for the year. This
should provide for milk and dairy
products, vegetables and fruits,
meat and eggs. The meat supply
should include beef, pork and poul-
try. One way to insure a supply OF
fresh meat throughout the winter is
to can a part of the meat at but
cheering time.
As for poultry. there are times
when it is good economics to can
chicken. That is the case when there
is an excess of old hens in the flock,
which are past laying for proht,
when the market price is low and
the farmer cannot afford to sell his
birds at the price and when it does
not pay to continue to feed these
birds.
AT the poultry show, many women
attended the canning demOnstra-
tiOns as well as a number of men.

IN EXPENDITURES
[Continued from Eir,f Paasl


maintained" said Governor Buck
without increasing the tax burden
of our citizens certain inequalities
in its fiscal affairs must be adjust
ed" In order to adjust the inequal-
ity between the general fund and
the school fund he suggested that
the general fund be made the de-
pository of some part of the income
received from the franchise tax,
much of which has been going to
the school fund.
Notwithstanding economies, Gov
ernor Buck said, it is apparent the
/ general fund will require additional
revenue if the budget is to balance.
The deficit, he pointed out, would be
determined by appropriations to be
made by the Legislature. He recon-
mended that at least 100000 an
nually for each of the next two
the general fund out of revenue re-
ceived in franchise taxes that now
go to the school fund and that all
moneys received from the estate tax
be deposited in the general fund.
by this arrangement the budget, as
to the general fund, will be balanc-
ed" said Governor Buck.
A saving in motor car transpOrta-
tiOn is recommended.
The message questions whether
the proposed public school budget
of $6,541 800 recommended for the
next two years can be maintained
with the present general expenses
representing a total of 11,1S5.6O0.
Legislation is urged to prevent the
sale of prisOn-made goods in Della
ware.
The Governor also criticises Gin
ternal dissension" in the Fish and
Game Commission, saying lit might
well be abolished without being
missed"
Repeal of the Klair Law forbid
ding manufacture or sale of intoxi-
eating liquor is recommended, to-
gether with "such modification, If
any, as the General Assembly may
deem necessary" i'm the Loose law
which provides that in those por-
tions of the State where the sale of
liquor is prohibited it is unlawful to
be in possession of more than one
quart of spirituous or 12 pints of
malt liquors.

fact that during the financial de-
bacle of the past year there was not
