NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—(United Press).—To prevent deaths from car- bon-monoxide or CO gas poisoning, James. A. Tobey, secretary of the National Health Council, has issued a warning to all motorists. “During the warm weather,” he said, “there is not so much danger as in the fall and winter. The car- bon-monoxide gas, which "comes from a motor in its exhaust, is es-| pecially dangerous in a concentrated form. When garage doors are open the injurious gas escapes into the open air and is dissipated. But when the weather gets cold the carowners are likely to shut the doors of their garages and the CO is concentrated so that It. becomes deadly. The number of cases during the past year, when car owners started their motors for repair work, and were found dead in their garages, point out this danger. It is this that the council wishes to warn against and thus prevent a recurrence of these unfortunate deaths. } “Timely Precautions. “Senator“Royal S> Copeland, when health commissioner of this city, considered this a very urgent situa tion.

The Casper Sunday Crilume Advance Notes On Industry | FIVE PASSENGER COACH ADDED TO THE NEW OLDSMOBILE MODELS A 5-passenger coach, combining comfort and style with moderate Price, has been added to the Olds- mobile line, it was announced today by the Olds Motor Works, Lansing, Michigan. The coach was designed and is being made by the Fisher Body Corporation and is the. first coach type of closed body to be man- ufactured by that well known man- ufacturer, . While the new model’ hasgbeen named coach, it is virtually a two- door sedan, having the same appear- ance and refinements irfeluded {n all the closed models of the Oldsmobile line. It is being introduced to meet the growing demand for closed cars, which now form more than 70 per cent of the entire production of the Olds factory. The coach is made of metal panels from floor to roof and is finished in the rich blue Duco which was adopt ed as standard for Oldsmobiles sev- eral weeks ago. The’ body has gracefully rounded curves at the back and is nearly the same length fas the standard sedan. The roof is covered with heavy waterproof grained fabrikoid, which same ma- terial is used to cover the metal sun. visor. The doors are exceptionally wide, being 38 inches, and allow easy en- trance and exit to and from both rear and front seats. Heavy plate glass is used for the windows, those in the doors and sides of the’ coach behig 30 by 17 inches. The door windows lower flush -with the bot- ton Of the frame,’ while“those in the side @f the body lower more than half way, giving open car coolness and ventilation during the . hot weather period. All windows are operated by quick action turn lift- ers. The coach is equipped with the new Fisher one piece, ventilating, clear vision windshield, which was recently introduced by the body building company. The interior is upholstered in gray velours, the sides and top be- ing one tone and the seats a two- toned striped velour. The coach has more than the ord- inary amount of head room, being four feet from floor to top. It is 70 inches from the instrument board New Oldsmobile Six Coack, The bodyis by Fjsher and seats five passengers. to the back seat. This seat is inches deep and 46% inches wide There is an 18 inch space between the front of the rear seat and the back of the Pullman type driver's seat. The seats~have high grade springs and the cushions “are 7 inches deep. Cowl lights with frosted glass faces, an automatic windshield wi per attached to the outside of the car under the sur. visor to eliminate and operating noise and connected with the intake manifold, and a tire carrier are standard equipment, The coach is priced at $1,065 at the factory: SLIGHT DECLINE NOTED IN AUTO SALES HOLDS SOME EXCEPTIONS By J. C. ROYLE (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Sept. 20,—The gen- eral trend of automobile sales to the public xppears, from telegraphic re- ports from manufacturing centers to have taken a slight’ downward slant in the last fortnight. This does not ipply to the Ford compan: se sales of. which ha‘ until they are now running at the rate of 5,000 cars a day. Thes fig- ures ‘compare with a 4,000 daily average in the latter part of Au- gust. i Ford officiais said today that their @eajers were beginning to wire for extra shipments and that the agri- cultural sections of the country seemed to be waking up. Based on teturns to date, they expect Mcrd sales fur September to exceed those for any September in the his- tory of the company. Improvement in sales to dealers is reported a'so by the Genera!*M corporation. Distribution of ¢ 1 Motors cars and trucks to consum- ers in August totaled 54,149, the sma'lest number recorded for any month since February, but only 1,683 less than the total for August 1923. ‘This is a decided gain over the comparison between consumer sales for July, 1923, and July, 1924, G. M. C, sales to dealers in August rose to 48,450, the highest point reached since April. The advance in activity In the Michigan autmobile factories is strikingly evidenced by the increas- ed applications for workmen's com- pensation insurance, One of the larg- insurance companies in the state ny rolls are increasing nd that the larg se in policies is among th bile companies, although sper industry also has been making SERVICE 221 W. YELLOWSTONE § Bring Your Radiator Troubles to An Established Radiator Repair Shop Activity in lumbering and mifing throughout the country as a whole is indicated by the orders received by one Lansing company making a four-wheel drive truck ‘intended par: Heularly for difficult hauling inci- dent to lumbering, mining and building construction work, ‘This company asserts its recent orders have been large and shipments nu- merous, Shipments of raw materiais and machinery into the automobile plants has been on the increase. Few peo- ple realize the replacement costs which modern automobile shop practice has formed on the indus- try. General-purpose equipment has been replaced almost entire!y by spe- celal machines designed for some spe- cial operation in manufacture. There is scarcely a piece of equipment to be found in a motor car factory to- day which was in use“ seven years ago. Increased Call for Metals. Every time a new model is brought out, new machines must be designed and installed to produce it. The same applies to tools used in the factories, “Tooling up” for & new model frequently means un expense running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Once that model is abandoned, the too’s must be scrapped also Improyemerit in purchases of raw and semi-finished materials by au- tomobiles is reported both by steel manufacturers und brass and cop- per producers. River traffic usually is considered an accurate barometer of business in the great Pittsburgh steel district but although mills are known to be or ating at an in sed rate compared with six », river shipments in the last month fell off 8,000 tons. When unis was checked up, however, it ya found that new orders, many of them for sheets and other’ aufo mobile’ materia’s, had been for ‘im mediate delivery and steel compan- jes had been forced to ship them by raul. There is every probability, accord- ing to George A. Sloan, secretary of the Copper and Brass Research as. sociation that consumption of cop- per in the United States this year will exceed 1,500,000,000 pounds. The automobile business is one of the’ mainstayn of t opper indus: try, althougintitgh percentage of sopper consumption this year will be accounted for by improvement in the electrical industry and by heavy building construction. Consumption so far this year has been rimning about ten per cent above that fo the corresponding period of 1923.

On the basis of present indi- cations, the total number of buses purchased during 1924 will be well over 8000 as compared with 6000 last year, Electric railways have bought 1000 buses so far this year for oper- ation in connection with trolley lines the publication states. On that basis, they will have purchased 2000 buses before the year is out. August reports show seventy new bus Tnes started in all # of the count Most of these are for us¢ on intercity lines.
