CARBON MONOXIDE VERY DANGEROUS Burean of Mines Calls Attentioni of Public to the Fact . Your rules for protection agalnst‘_ deadly effects of poisonous gas, car- | bon monoxide, always present in ex- haust from gas-driven engings, issued by U, S, Burcau of Mines: Never run automobile in closed garage; open wide. Never crawl under car with engine running, even if careis in open air. Never sit in closed car with engine running, even if*car is in open air. Never sit in closed car with en- gine rumning and all windown shut, even if car is in open air; always have window open. engine doors Pittsburgh, Teb. 22.—So many deaths from carbon monoxide, a gas| haust from automo- | present in the e Liles, have occurred throughout the country during the past few months that the Pittsburgh station, United States Bureau of Mines, has been prompted to call the attention of the public to its danger. Seldon a day passes at this season but the death of one or more persons is recorded. 1atalities are particu- larly noticeabla in the natural Lelt of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, while deaths from the ex- taust gas of automobiles are increas- | ing. Carbon monoxide is given off gas | | | { in quantities by burning natural gas.| while it is practically always present in the exhaust from gasoline engines. ' in exceedingly dangerous quanfities in the exhaust from gasoline engines. Thousands of houses in the natural gas belt have no flues for carrving off waste gases, which, in such cases, pass off into the room where the fire ¢ burning. If all windows and doors are closed, as they may be in. cold weather when gas is being consumed, the effect sooner or later becomes ap- parent on the occupants, They be. come dull and sleepy and, ¥ not aroused, may pass into unconscious. ness and eventually die, Have Door Open The bureau recommends that when # gas heater without & flue Is used, a window or door be partly open at all times; half an ineh or so will answer. The bureau his found that the air in a room should be chunged every Tiour; that is, the foul ailr wshould e completely displaced by, fresh during that period. But if there I8 A continuous fresh inflow, this will counteract the poisonous 5 mnless the individual is so ¢ to\ the source of the waste gas as to breathe it befere it is sufficiently diluted with fresh alr, The bureau sounds o warning never to go to bed with a Yeater burning and the windows and doors closed; to do so would be “Airting with death.” The danger from waste automoblle wases I8 no less real If the engine has to be kept running in the garage 1he garage must be ventilated: Drive ors are warned never to crawi under n ¢ar ‘When the engine is running, no watter how good the ventilation And sitting in an automobile, in a garage with the engine in motion iIs distinctly a danperous thing to.do. Another hazard of exhaust gas i that of sitting in a tightly closed aun- tomobile on a highway, or elsewhere, with the engine going. The car may e fitted with a leaky through which the exhanust gets into and concentrates in the car, or the exhaust from the muffler, in some¢ manner, gets in and accumulates in ite confinement. “If people must sit in an autogno- bite,” says the bureau, “they must have some fresh air entering the ton- pea. Otherwise theéy are playing with death.” PITTSBURGH FIRM LEADS IN IMPROVING SCHOOLS Oficers of the Harbison-Walker Re- fractorics Company Offer 1o Help school Board Ald Children.
