Two entrances and ex- its will be necessary in case of break. downs, accidents, and repairs, but the entrances and exits will be easily con- trolled thus economizing in stall char-} ges, and facilitating the parking of the vehicles in their allotted places. "All the parking space would be available, without any crossings, as traffic will circulate 'one way' only. Stairway communication between the Square and the underground parking space will be necessary for the conven- ience of drivers who have parked their cars, or are returning to them, while signals, operated by attendants, indi- cating when the parking space is full." ®o Commmm---- 3 Co Pl ta PPP OPPPOCRCPECERIEYS THE DANGERS LURKING IN CARBON MONOXIDE Voicing a warning against the deadly effects of carbon monoxide gas, present in the exhaust of automobiles, the United States Bureaidl of Mines sets forth the following gen- eral rules: ' Never run automobile engine in closed or poorly ventilated garage. } Never work under machine with motor running even in open air.

And sniffed the -fine aroma of hot irons on a hoof; But never horse comes limping in these days to be new-shod; The one-time smith is fixing up a loose connecting rod. We used to love to watch him heat a wagon tire and weld it. And while it dimmed from white to red we wondered how he held it. But now the anvil's sold for junk, the sledge and chisels rusted; The smith is busy tinkering a vacuum feed that's busted. The horse-and-buggy days are gone; they will return no more; | And yet the one-time blacksmith does "with SIX cylinders we Luxe Sedan, $1635 . F.0.B. Factory, Torons to. Taxes Extra.

LIGHTEN THE FOOT ON THE THROTTLE Stern Warning. A police traffic inspector in a western city has handed out a ser- mon to reckless and speed-crased motorists, in which he points out tu them the danger and costliness of "bearing down on the throttle." He says: "The speed-crazed and reckless motorists are now having a lesson taught them that should reduce auto accidents. "This lesson is being taught by the various judges and police every where in the west in a. determined effort to stop reckless driving. Every magistrate is dding his best to punish the speeder and carelegs 4 driver.
