S. Public Health Service. The gas is without color, odor, or taste. It is an ever-present danger about blagt and £oke furnaces and foundries. It may be found in a building having a leaky fur- nace or chimney or a gas stove without flue connection, such as a tenement, & taflor shop, or boarding houss. The exhaust gases of gasoline automobiles contain from 4 to 12 per cent. of carbor. monoxlide, and In closed garages men are not infrequently found dead beside a running motor. A similar danger may arise from gasoline engineg In launches The gas Is formed also in stoke-rooms, in gun turrets on battleships, in petrole- um_ refineries and in the eblanc soda process in cement and brick plants. In underground work it may appear as the result of shot ilring, mine explosions, or mine fires, or in tunnels from outomobile exhausts or from coal or ofl burning lo- comotives. Carbon monoxide exerts its extremely dangerous action on the body by displac- ing oxygen from its combination with homoglobin, the coloring matter of the blood which -normally absorbs axygen from the air in the lungs and delivers it to”the different tissues of the pody.

C., headquarters of the National ‘Geographic Society on Yucatan, which dispatches from. Mexico describe as now being “a lit- tle Russia’. L 3 “The story of Yucatan In recent imes,’ says the bulletin, “is the story of henequen fibre. Offhand that doesn't seem to affect the average American to any great extent. But it does effect him every time he buys a loaf of bread. The story might be framed like | that of the house that Jack built.

The old feudal system remained largely unchanged, however, and the landowners became extremely wealthy. But some of the prosperity inevitably filtered down to a growning middle class and even to the planta- tion laborers, and soon Yucatan gave Indications of a political turbulence unknown in the older feudal days. “When the World War came pros- perity reached its peak in Yucatan with henequen fibre selling for as much as 19 cents a pound. The few landowners were no longer able to dominate the state government and the laborers and their friends who gained control reshaped the entire scheme of things. Wages of workers were fix- ed by legislation at $5.25 to $24.00 (in United States money) for each houn After the armistice the price of hene- quen fell sharply and by 1921 it had fallen to 4 cents or less.

Some of the principal land owners had truly baron- ial estates through which one could travel for days. On the most extensive estates were scattered half a dozen or more great stone castle-like har clendas in the care of major domos. In these sumptuous dwellings members of the owner's family might not spend a night a year, for they lived for the most part in state in the capital, Me- rida, or spent their time treveling in Europe or the United States.
