Seconding Speech

Delegate Dimond, on b half of Alaska, made one of the seconding speeches for the nomination of Mir Roosevelt. The speech was made near midnight on June 26, and was necessarily brief by reason of the lateness of the hour and the request made by Senator Robinson, perma- nent Chairman of the Convention, to all speakers to condense their remarks.
 The Delegate also served as a member of the Platform Committee and offered special Alaska plank Special blanks for Hawaii, the Phil ippine Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico were presented by delegates from those places.

Foresight Lessens
 Poison Gas Deaths
Warnings Should Be Placed on Garage Doors;
 Illuminating Gas Causes Most Fatalities

New York, N Y.-A little fore sight exercised at the present time will do much to decrease deaths from gas poisoning, which number ed 1894 in 1884 in the United States, according to Dr. Louis | Dublin, third vice-president and statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. The advent of winter weather makes his warning particularly timely, since the num- Der of deaths from gas poisoning in December January and February is three times as great as in the period from July through September.
 Tt is encouraging to note that in the past ten years deaths from gas poisoning have dropped from 24 per million of population to 13 per mill lion, the rate in l934," said Dr. Dub lin. Tt is evident that further decrease can be made in these deaths by vigorous and wide spread educational campaign in the homes. Every householder should have a check-up made on all gas tubing and appliances in his home by competent person. He should rcalive the danger of using gas heaters without flues and should have all chimneys cleaned and checked over.
 Every automobile owner or user should have 6 warning on the door of his garage, where he would be

The Shareholders of 1936 have caused considerable comment among local motorists due to the ingenious manner in which body designers have provided these automobiles with unusually large luggage carry ing capacity. A striking example of this was exhibited at the showing starting today at 0eghan Motors, Inc, local Studebaker dealers, where a new Studebaker Dictator St. Regis cruising sedan is being displayed.
 Every model in each of the new lines of Studebakers, the Dictators and the Presidents, have been built with an idea of pleasing motorists who like to go places and take things with them. whether the loads be personal or freight" according to Joseph P. Geghan. ..ot only is that true, but each model is offered in a variety of luggage compart- ment arrangements large enough to cover any whim or desire Q motorist may have,
 For example, the Dictator St. Re- giS sedan is offered In what IS called the "custom" model, the cruising" model, or with ono or two side mounts for spare tires. The "cus- tom" model has an unusually large trunk built.in, that its, blended in" with the smart contours of the car. And each of these two models may be had with either one or two fender mountings for the extra tires. Without fender well mountingS the spare tires are carried on the floor of the luggage compartment. With fender well mountings the tire space is available for additional luggage.
 A check of the cubic capacities of the various luggage compartments indicates that Stakeholder has pro- vided more abundantly than most competitive cars. Tn "custom" se- dams, the convenient shelf-type trunk gives 10 h cubic feet of car-

sure to see 1t, and 8 further one on the wall in prominent place, re- minding him of the danger of run ming the engine while the garage doors are closed.
 And every person should be ad- vised that in case of acute gas poisoning the manual prone pres- sure method, that is used with ef- feet, in drowning accidents, should be applied at once. These simple precautions would do much to bring the number of these needless deaths ] to @ minimum.
 While official statistics for the country as whole do not show what particular gases are chiefly responsible for this mortality, a study of the death claims paid by the Metropolitan in its industrial department reveals that one lcthal agency alone, carbon monoxIdc, is responsible for all but a small pro- portion of the gas poisoning deaths.
 Illuminating gas, which contains up to 30 per cent of carbon mon- oxide, was found to cause about two thirds of the fatalities among these industrial policyholders. Reports on these deaths showed the escape of the gas to be due to flexible pipe becoming detached from heaters, to the inadvertent turning on of gas jets, to defective tubing, leaking gas fixtures, or to the extinction of gas flames by overlooking water or by a gust of wind"
 Recalling the tragic death of nine Dartmouth college students in the winter of 1884, Dr. Dublin pointed out that carbon monoxide poisoning also results from coal, gas and oil heaters, when they are not prop erly connected and cared for and where proper ventilation is lacking.
 Strangely enough gas poisoning deaths are more frequent among males than among females, despite the fact that women spend more time in the home, and, accordingly. arc more exposed to the hazard of gas poisoning there," continued Dr Dublin. "Old persons are the chief victims. The reason for this is thought to be because old people do not detect the odor of escaping gas as readily as do the young. They are also more absent minded and occasionally fail to ignite the gas after turning it on. Another possi- ble reason is that the old do not stand the effects of gas as well as the young, since they suffer more physical defects and may not react as readily as the young to treat ment for revival.
 "A little attention now at the be- ginning of winter to the heating systems and gas appliances and connections will save many lives in the United States during the com ing winter"

 "Studebaker pioneered the built in trunk, the trunk that was made a part of tho car," said MT. Geghan. "rhat was two years ago. The idea became 50 popular that Stude- baker determined to provide more carrying capacity than It's compe- titors. We believe that the public wants to keep the front and rear seats of its automobiles for humans, not for freight. That's why every Stakeholder has abundant space for luggage or merchandise.
 We also believe that hundreds of motorists use their cars in business and that they always need conven- tent storage spaces. The new Stude- bakers answer this demand splen- Gidly. You can carry a complete line of merchandise samples, six five- gallon milk cans, a bale of hay or two, several dogs, all the baggage you'll need on Q nationwide tour or almost any reasonable size load you desire in this new Dictator St. Regis cruising sedan. We know our ideas are right, too. The number of travelling salesmen who have ex- pressed a desire to own this ype of outamobile has convinced us beyond all doubt"

 vice Laws

washington, March 16-(UP) = The law now reaches across most of the State lines throughout the country to compel payment of dam ages caused by nonresident motor ista, according to a report from the American Automobile Association.
 Residents of 42 states and the District of Columbia now have the prOtection of nonresident, service of.process laws, the A.A.A. state msnt said. Ten jurisdictions have adopted such legislation during the past year and with the exception of Colorado, Georgia, Missouri. Nevada and Utah, the nonresident service laws are now in effect throughout the country.
 Expense of Litigation Cut
 sprior to passage of the laws, the injured party was forced to file suit for damages in the state in which the motorist causing the accident was resident" the report said. '"The difnculties and expense involved generally presented insuperable ob- stacles. With the nonresident ser- vice-of- f-process law in effect, how ever, the accused driver is forced to answer the suit in the state in which the accident occurred.
 ''When 8 nonresident motorist enters a state with such a law" the statement continued, "he auto fnatically appoints the commis- sioner of motor vehicles as his law ful attorney authorizing him to acc cept service of process in 8 civil liability suit. Should the motorist cause an accident and then leave the state, the process is served on the commissioner and the motorist is informed of the action by mall
 No Lo0phOles Left
 Should he fail to respond to the suit, and Judgment be returned against him, the court of the state in which he resides has jurisdic- tion to collect the damages.
 "To residents, this means that they no longer are threatened with inability to obtain payment for damages caused by out-of- tate driv- CTS. Motorists now are faced with civil and criminal liability when travelling outside the boundaries of their home state under these laws.
 Undoubtedly" the report con- cluded, this type of law gives a greater measure of fair treatment to the injured party, and, because of it's far-reaching effect, should prove a powerful incentive to safer driving"
