Bureau Acts ]. To End Menace
 Of Plane Gas

WASHINGTON July 15-New insurance of safety in the air will be provided in the near future, the Bureau of Air Commerce says, in regulations to prevent carbon monoxide gas poisoning in air p.anes.
 The gas, which is odorless, col orless and tasteless, has caused thousands of deaths in automobiles and homes but it will not be al-I lowed to become a factor of danger in flying, bureau officials say. It, causes serious sickness and death when breathed because the blood absorbs it in preference to oxygen.
 The Army Air Corps has found that five-thousandths of one per- cent in the air breathed in the cockpit or cabin of an airplane is dangerous and the danger increases with altitude because in rarefied atmosphere the percentage of oxygen in relation to carbon mon- oxide is materially less.

Muscle Shoals Lights Trapping
 Mosquito Hordes

MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala, July l5 Health officials are maintaining a close check on results of TWAS mosquito light trap experiments at Muscle Shoals with the view of pos sible development of a new device for fighting malaria.
 The mosquitoes are lured by light, entrapped in the suction of a fan, and drawn into trap.
 Experiments thus far haven't dis closed whether malaria mosquitos are attracted by light but have shown that another type of mos quito passed up white light in favor of blue.
 The traps are not used to kill the mcsquitos, authorities state, but merely to locate and determine the number of the pests. Of the work; Dr. L. M. Graves, Memphis health superintendent, says: We have never learned how many anopheles mosquitoes can ex- ist without maintaining malaria, and this trap may answer that question
