Danger-Death From Monoxide-

Monoxide gas during the winter season claims
from 500 to 700 Americans for death-a useless,
avoidable tragedy Some of them will die in closed
garages; some will die while sitting in their cars;
will die during attempts to get out of snow
drifts; some will die driving their cars along the
road; some will die from poorly adjusted room heat
ers All of them avoidable ways in which carbon
monoxide takes the lives of men and women. Open
ing a door window just ordinary precautional
methods, will greatly eliminate these tragedies
Following are five simple rules, which If adhered
to may be the cause of saving your life:
/. See that the doors of your garage are open
when the motor of your car is running.
2 Provide ventilation if you are using an Oil or
coal heater or any combustion heater without fue
in the ROOM
8. Have your tested, both when it is in mo-
ton and when it is parked for the presence OF car
bon monoxde.
4. Have your car inspected for a leaky exhaust
system.
5. Remember that when you park with the motor
running the exhaust has tendency especially when
the exhaust pipe is partially obstructed to curl up
under the car and gather there See that car WIN
dow is open when you park with the motor running.
Failure to observe any of the above rules may
make of your garage or home lethal chamber
to which you through carelessness have condemned
yourself

Democracy on Trial .

Have read certain articles recently which have
as their purpose attempted plan to make the
people of this nation believe that democracy is
trial This government founded 160 years
ago, and although major depressions and hunger,
despair, have punctuated otherwise brilliant
existence at intervals, those things more
part of democracy than of any other form of gov
ernment in existence.
Depressions, unemployment, unstable financial
conditions provide opportunity for attacks demo-
cracy, and during such times "isms" take root for
a time. Under such conditions people lose
faith, and their preachngs heard far and wide
But those things occur in other governments
only strict censorship prohibits publicity in those
lands. 1t is not democracy that is trial, it is
we, the people, who must again be reminded
the value of the Constitution and its Bill of Rights
lest forget!

Story Teller
On the Loose
SAUK RAPIDS-Albert Bianga,
Sauk Rapids champion story teller
is on the loose again now that win
ter fishing is in full swing. He
says he was out in his dark house
on the lake recently and as the
day was bright with sunshine it
was very suitable for spearing.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1939-01-05

Suddenly the water became dark,
in fact so dark 1t was black ESQ
he says.) He decided cloud was
passing over and was hiding the
sun. After a few minutes of wait
ing Mr.. Bianga opened the door of
his fish house to see the size of
the cloud and was surprised to
see that the sun was shining bright
ly. Upon again looking down into
the hole in the ice he was just in
time to see the darkness fade away
as the tail of the fish passed by.
Oh dear, he missed fine steak, but
worse than that his house needs
re-shingling and the scales Of this
fish would have made nice sized
shingles.
Dog Showers!
What Next?
BATTLE LAKE-Some time ago
the Battle Lake editor gave a little
pup to the principal of schools at
st. Charles, MINI. Last week he
received a letter from them stat
ing that their friends there had
given a shower for Mrs. Barry and
had presented her with many love-
ly gifts for the dog.

Jack Rabbit Flies
Through Windshield

ZUMBROTA-We have heard of
pheasants flying through wind
shields, but when jack rabbits do
the same stunt that is something.
Recently while Mr.. George BECKER
was driving through the country
a jack rabbit ran ahead of his car
for a short distance, then turned
about and leaped over the hood of
the car and went straight through
the windshield, landing on his
shoulder and then falling into the
back seat. Mr.. Bleeker ducked to
save himself from the flying glass
but was somewhat stunhed and
jack was dead. 80:
Crowd Debates As
Third Car Crashes
LITCHFIELD-While a crowd of
onlookers joined the debate as to
blame for a minor collision between
two cars at the hotel corner
in Litchfield about midnight on a
Saturday recently, a third machine
coming west screeched to a stop
when its left front wheel flew off
making a turn north. A shower of
sparks rose from the grinding of
the axle on the pavement. This
second incident broke up the argu-
ment, the crowd helping the third
driver get his wheel on again.

That kind of experience made me

She went to work for the Women
In Industry Service, which has since
become the Women's Bureau. Since
she left there, 10 years ago, she has
become a member Of the Executive
Committee of the Womens Trade
Union League. Her work Is volun-
tary but exacting.
Between jobs she discovered she
had a talent for painting. Two OF
her murals, one depicting women in
factories, the other showing women
in farm life, now hang in the Office
of Mary Anderson, chief OF the
Women'S Bureau.
She was more interested today in
stressing the fact that the confer
ence has recognized women as an
integral part of international rela-
tions than in contemplating the
honor paid her by the President.
There's plenty that the South
American countries can help us
with" she said. I'm only the small
end of funnel, really, for the ex-
change of ideas between the women
of the United States and other
countries"
She's determined on one point,
however; there isn't going to be
any more disgusting controversy"
between the women at conferences.
This is going to be friendly
job," she smiled.

Or. Sheehy Urges Stronger
South American Ties

The Rev. D. Maurice Sheehy, head
Of the department of religion at
Catholic University, last night rec
commended strengthening the ties
between North and South America
through press and radio services
the movies, church relations and
tourist travel.
DR.. Sheehy spoke over the radio
on his recent 18.000-mile airplane
trip to South America with Bishop
Ryan of Omaha.
He said he had reached the fol-
lowing conclusions:
l. The United States is strong
tn South America.
2. Since Latin America is pre-
dominantly Catholic, it is common
sense to stress the spiritual bond
between them and North American
Catholics.
3. There must be more exchange
OF professors and students.
4. Movies could do lot to teach
the English language and acquire
popular favor by shows about South
American heroes.
5. Press services must give free
service to South American news
papers because they are unable to
afford them otherwise. They use
the German-subsidiZed TranSocean
News Service because it is free.
6. The United States must ex-
change radio programs with the
Latin American countries.

Miss Mary WinsIow Well Fitted
For Inter-Americon G. Commission
President Approves
Washington Woman
For High Position

When the 21 American repub-
lies were celebrating at Lima last
December, quiet, red-haired Mary
Winslow sat in her Georgetown home
following the trend of the confer
ence with cable reports and news
paper stories.
She was troubled by reports that
filtered back about the controversies
among the women at the conference.
She heard that one of the men had
expressed the wish that the next
conference would be held a thou
sand miles away from any women.
Like thousands of other women
throughout the country, she was
convinced the time had come for
women to cease pickering and get
together internationally. The Inter-
American Commission for Women,
organized 10 years ago to investi-
gate and report, she felt should be-
come a permanent and official body
to promote the development of
friendly relations between the wom-
en- of the Americas.
Approved by President.
Wednesday she was given an op-
portunity to take part in that de-
velopment. The President an
nounced his approval of Miss Wins
low as the representative of the
United States on the Inter-Amer-
lean Commission, now a permanent,
official body through the vote of the
conference.
Miss WinsloW is the first official
representative to the commission,
which has been unofncially repre-
sented by Miss Doris Stevens dur
ing its 10-year life.
Daughter Of a naval officer, Miss
WinsloW was born in Asheville, N. c.,
though she considers herself a
native Washingtonian because her
mothers family traces back to the
beginnings of the Nations Capital.
Quiet and efficient, she has
devoted her life to improving
the working conditions of women
through organization and legislation
Her first taste of social work was
during Taft's administration, when
with President Taft's daughter and
other young women of Washington
