GIVE WARNING
TO DRIVERS
Deadly Carbon Monoxide Gas
Pours From Every Motor
Exhaust
PRECAUTIONS GIVEN

Mr.. w. w. Harris. Vice Presi-
dent for Public Safety of the Della
ware Safety Council urges all Del
aware motorists to be on the alert
for the approach of cold weather
which generally causes a number of
fatalities due to carbon monoxide.
This deadly carbon monoxide gas
pours columes from every motor
exhaust. 1t is colorless. tasteless,
without odor, and therefore strikes
without warning. Only a few min
utes, under certain conditions. are
sufficient to cause Inconsistencies,
followed by death.
Most common, perhaps, is the
case of the thoughtless driver who
warns his car up on a cold morn
ing with the doors and windows of
his garage tightly closed. Seldom
is rescue effected in time.
Other fatalities have occurred on
the open road to unwarry drivers
in tightly closed cars. Carbon mon.
oxide, escaping from a defective
exhaust system. has seeped be-
tween the floor boards in sufficient
quantity to kill.

But there is another hazard Of
this insidious gas. One of its symp-
toms is a tendency to create drow-

many traffic accidents. a very small
quantity being enough to destroy
