oxide gas and should always ob- serve the simple procedure of open- ing garage doors before starting the engine, advised Mir. Bowers. Keep the doors open until the car has been driven from the garage or the engine stopped. Be sure that gar- age doors are equipped with subs stantial hardware that will keep them open even in Q brisk windl Cases of fatal poisoning are on rec- ord where garage doors have acci- dentally blown shut while the en- zine inside was being warmed up or adjusted.
 No matter how cold nor indictment the weather, no car with the engine running should be entirely closed, according to Mir. Bowers. There is danger that carbon monoxide may seep through the car because of some defect iil the exhaust system. With proper ventilation in the car minute amounts of the gas cause no i'll effect. When car windows are closed, however, enough carbon monoXide may accumulate to jeop- ardize the health of even life of the occupants. Small amounts of the gas may be especially injurious to young children. Over e long run in Q closed or poorly ventilated car on accumulation of carbon monoxide may render the driver less able to avoid accidents If not actually suc- cumb to the effects of this insidi- ous gas.

 Although priorities have caused some curtailment in special lines" the authority said, capacity oper- ations in key industries such as cote tons, woolenS, rayens, aircraft, ship. building, machinery, arms, have more than counter-balaneed any slackening,
 More squOrely hit by priorities regulations has been the eonstruc- ton industry. Tn October the value of total construction contracts aWard- ed was { per cent smaller than in le40, For the first ten months of thiS year total construction ran A per cent larger than i940."
 In the shoe industry attention was oentered on the Boston Shoe Fair which Is the biggest showing ever held In the city, Dun and Hrad-' street said.
 Retail trade was estimated at ie to g per cent above the correspond. Ing i940 period. Merchants through. out the region were reported "pre. pairing for one of the best holiday seasons In history, while retailers in defense centerS expected record volume" ".,I

Proper ventilation when starting Q Gar in the garage or when travel ing during cold months will prevent harmful effects from deadly car- bon monoxide gas, autoiSts were warned today by Chester s, Bowers of the Bureau of Health Instruction iIi the regular weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health over station WTIC,
 The fact that carbon 'monoxide ln the exhaust gases of the automo- blle engine is an odorless and color less gas makes 1t particularly hay- ardous, MT. Bowers pointed out, It gives no warning of impending dan- ger, The victim may not feel the effects of the gas until he starts to move. Then he becomes helpless and falls. Unconsclousness and death may follow rapidly unless the victim Is removed quickly to the open air for first aid resuscitation me9Sures which should include the use of an inhalator from the near. est available station.
