FLAGS FLUTTER IN INVISBLE DEATH BEGINS IS TOL Carbon Monoxide Fatalities Con- tinue, Despite Warnings Before thé danger season has even arrived, reports have come from all parts of the country of the | death of motorists from carbon monoxide poisoning. Thus. again, despite Tepeated warnings, the “invisible death™ takes its toll. Not only is this death in- visible, it is odorless, tasteless, orless and swift in it destruction. Investigations made in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other citie where traffic is congested show that little of this gas is needed to cause poisoning. A day's exposure to the fumes that reek from the ex- hausts of innumerable moters i heavy traffic may be just as fatal as the foolish practice of working on a running motor in a closed garage. | The difference is that the former| death is more protracted.
