S WARNS OF CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD Interior Department Advises Motor- ists in Closed Garages to Guard Against Fumes. o iy Motorists were warned today by the Interior Department to take particu- lar care to guard against the hazard of carbon monoxide fumes in closed garages, resulting from the operation of an automobile engine. Less than half of one per cent of carbon monoxide will kill an ordinary man In an hour and a higher con- centration will prove fatal in a short- er time.

This is an extremely danger- ous practice, engineers pointed out and cases are reported _frequently Where the driver s found dead at the twheel, If it is desired to warm up the engine, all windows and doors should be opened or the car should be driven into the open air where the exhaust gases are quickly dissi- pated. —_— The Italians breed turkeys by the PINDLER 607 12th N.W.—M. 2704 thousands, but chiefly for export, eaten In that count very few belng S lean and Press all and Deliver Ladies’ Suits . $1.50 Men’s Suits .
