PITTSBURGH, June 15.—With hun- dreds of thousands of being put into use in the United States during the Summer months, the United States Bureau of Mine: gas experts, stationed at Pittsburgh, have again sounded a warning to the motorists to exercise caution to pre vent serious sickness and death from | carbon monoxide. The gas experts at the bureau, R | R. Sayers and W. P. Yant, point out that the widespread use of motor cars |in the Summertime naturally means many repair jobs on motors, and it is while working on automobile ma- | chines in closed garages that many carbon monoxide fatalities occur. These experts, who delve into the mysteries of the deadly gas, have a list of ““dont’s” for motorists, as well as a list of “remedies” when the “dont’s” are disregarded by careless clude: Guard against running an automo- bile engine in a poorly ventliated or closed garage. Do not work under a machine with the motor running, even though it is in_the open air. Sitting in a closed car with the en- gine running is dangerous; always | have the windows open.

They should avoid exposure to carbon mon- oxide, and wherqit is necessary to come into contac®with it protective equipment should be provided. A victim of the gas should be taken into the fresh -air as soon as possible. If the breathing has stopped, arti- ficial respiration must be supplied. For_this purpose pure oxygen can be used or oxygen with 5 per cent carbon dioxide, to be given for about 20 min- utes. The patjent’s limbs should be massaged, to restore and increase cir- culation, and the body should be kept warm. The victim must rest, avoid- ing any exertion whatever. Carbon monoxide is doubly danger- ous, the experts say, because it is hard to detect it in the air. It has no odor and is tasteless. ymptoms are read- ily found, however.

'TO BEWARE | List of ‘““Don’ts” to | Avoid Poisoning by | Carbon Monoxide Voicing a warning against the deadly effects of carbon mo- | | noxide gas, present in the ex- | | haust of automobiles, the United States Bureau of Mines sets forth the following general rules: Never run automobile &ngine in the closed or poorly ventil- ated garage. | Never -work under machine | | with motor running even in open air. Never close all car windows with engine running, even in open air. It is not true that the air in a closed garage is safe so long as a gas engine continues to run. Move a victim of carbon mo- noxide poisoning into the open air; supply artificial respiration; give him oxygen; massage his limbs; quiet. keep him warm and fache. As the percentage of carbon monoxide in the blood increases the headache becomes more severe. The { victim's legs weaken and respiration increases. Then comes a collapse, fol- lowed by unconsciousness, and finally death. 5 | The dangerous fallacy that the at- mosphere in a closed garage is safe as long as an automobile engine contin- ues to function has been disproved by tests. A dog-was placed on the front seat of a touring car fn a closed brick garage, and the motor was allowed to idle. After 20 minutes’ operation the animal lost consciousness. At that time the air showed 1.3 per cent car- bon monoxide. The engine was al- lowed to run until it stopped: from lack of air at the end of two hours, when the percentage of gas was 2.1, enough to cause instant death. | This incident the experts cited in {order to impress motorists that they should not permit their motors to idle in the garage while they return to the house to obtain some forgotten arti- cle.

Public utilities officials of the Dis- trict, Maryland and Virginia met here today to consider a resume of facts obtained in a recent extensive survey of transportation conditions in Wash ington, conducted for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of merg- ing existing street railway and bus lines in the National Capital.
