NEW GENERATING CJNIT SERVES THIS PART OF ILLINOIS A new 110,000 kilowatt turbogenerator has been placed in service at the Waukegan station of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, it was announced by Charles Y. Freeman, hairman of the utility. The new generating unit, which ;ook about three years to build, has been undergoing tests since December 15. Originally scheduled for service in the. spring of 1952, t has gone on the lines several nonths ahead of schedule. A major project in the Pubi, j e r v i c e - C o m m o n w e a l t h E d i s o n system's postwar expansion program, the new Waukegan unit is khe sixth new generating unit Added to the system since the end jf World War II. It brings to 3,- 062,000 kilowatts the capacity of clie system's eleven generating itations serving Chicago a n d lorihern Illinois. "Five additional units are itow n various stages of construction," Freeman said. "These five, with 4 capacity of 660,000 kilowatts, >ill bring the total system capacty to 3,722,000 kilowatts by the jnd of 1954, based on present contruction schedules. "The five units now under way nclude two of 150,000 kilowatts aach at Edison's IUdgeland station, one of 60,000 kilowatts at Public Service's,, Dixon station «nd two of 150,000 kilowatts each o be installed at the new Will jounty station of Public Service on the Illinois waterway between Lockport and Lemont. Construction of the latter station is expected to get under way later this year." The new Waukegau unit is the .sixth to be installed in that station and the first addition at the plant since 1931. It increases total :apacity of the station from 278.- J00 to 38S.000 kilowatts. The new unit operates at^a 'team pressure of 1800 pounds per square inch and at a steam temperature of 1000 degrees F. to obtain increased efficiency. The largest unit previously iustalled at the plant operates at 635 pounds pressure and 77 degrees F. Increases in steam pressures and temperatures have been made possible by important advances in metallurgical research which have resulter in advanced designs for turbo-generators, Freeman said. The Waukegan generating station is the principal source of electric power for Public Service C o m p a n y ' s n o r t h e r n d i v i s i o n which covers an area extending from Chicago's city limits to the Wisconsin state line Including all of Lake County and parts of Cook, DuPage. Kane and McHenry counties. THE AMERICAN WAY Non-Coal Smog West Coast surveys reveal that three-fifths of the components of smog come from automobiles and buses, the burning of trash, and the heating of homes, stores, and offices. Sf T fU*T SKUNK AWAY FROM TW Health Talks The Contaminatot Open Letter To ' Speeding Driver In a recent issue of "The Steering Wheel," an interesting article appeared entitled "Open Letter To A Driver Who Speeds Through Our Street." It was most timely since the advent of spring within a few weeks means that more youngsters will be on the streets in the days ahead. "I saw you barely misB a little boy on a tricycle this afternoon and heard you yell. "Get the H-- out of the way! Don't you know any better than to ride in the street? He didn't answer because he hasn't learned to talk very well yet. So* I'm going to answer for him. 'No, the little boy doesn t know any better than to ride his tricycle in the street. He has been warned not to, but little boys don't always heed warnings. Some adults don't either, especially traffic warnings; for example, the one limiting speed of automobiles. "I'm going to tell you something about that little boy. He has a mother who endured considerable Inconvenience, anxiety and suffering to bring him into the world. He has a father who has worked hard and made many sacrifices to make him healthy and happy. The supreme purpose of lives is to have their little boy grow up to be a useful man. "Now stop a minute and' think. If you would kill a child, how* j would you feel facing its parentB? j What excuse could you give them for having robbed them of their : dearest possession ? More important : Whut excuse could yott -possibly offer Him whose Kingdom is made up of little children? 4 "Children, my hasty friend, hwere hejre long before you or your automobile were thought of. {All the automobiles on earth are jnot worth the life of one little i boy. We don't know what that 'little boy may some day be; but 1 we know what you are, and it's un-important. We could get along without you, but we can't spare a single llttlp boy on the street.

Stratocruisers may be chartered in Honolulu for groups of air travelers. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Carbon monoxide is a deadly poison gas. It causes many deaths each year, particularly in cold weather, according to the educational committee of the Illinois t a t e Medical society in a HEALTH TALK. , The gas, a by-product of imperfect combustion in stoves and furnaces and a component of exhaust gas from automobiles, lfas a seldom noticed garlic-like odor, is tasteless and colorless, all of which make it unusually dangerous because victims can be overcome before being aware of the Ris. Wheft carbon monoxide gas is breathed into the lungs, it passes into the blood stream, where it combines with hemoglobin and blocks out oxygen from uniting with the red blood cells. Death follows quickly when the tissues are deprived of oxygen. The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning vary with the amount of gas in the air and the length of time of exposure. With small doses, there are no symptoms. When 'the percentage of blood cells loaded with carbon monoxide instead of oxygen reaches 20 per cent, there is likely to be a tingling of the forehead with a slight headache and dilatation or expansion of the blood vessels in the skin. Between 20 and 30 per cent, there is severe headache and throbbing in the temples,, irritability and errors of judgment. At 40 per cent, the headache becomes worse, there is a sense of weakness and dizziness, the vision becomes dim, nausea and vomiting follow and the victim may collapse, especially if he is actively at work. From 60 per cent up, breathing may cease, the victim is unconscious antf may die. When the percentage is over 70, death is certain. Carbon monoxide is dangerous if exposure lasts an hour or more at 1500 or more parts per 1,000,000 in the air. In the home, persorfs may be exposed to carbon monoxide gas through leaks in gas fittings. Illuminating gas contains from 6 to 30 or more per cent of carbon monoxide. The poison can also be produced by improper combustion ia gas heaters such as are used in bedrooms without a chimney. Clogged chimneys and improperly operated dampers can also permit dangerous amounts of ^carbon monoxide to accumulate in the home from a coal fire. The "after damp" of a coal mine dust explosion is largerly carbon monoxide. Automobile drivers should never start their cars without having the garage doors open, and never drive without ventilation in the car. They should stop, on long trips, to walk about for a few minutes in the fresh air. The slow obsorption of carbon monoxide in closed cars makes drivers sleepy and causes many accidents. Don't sit in a car with the windows closed and the motor and heater working. An automobile motor can produce one cubic foot of carbon monoxide per minute per horsepower, enough to make the air of a one-car garage deadly In about five minutes. Garage workers should also be careful of carbon monoxide poisoning. A headache is a symptom that means too long exposure. The victim of carbon monoxide poisoning should be moved into fresh air immediately., A physician should be called at once. Artificial respiration should be given until he arrives. The patlent should be kept warm. Giving the patient oxygen or a mixturq> with carbon dioxide releases th«j carbon monoxide, freeing it fronf the blood about four times as rapidly as would the inhalation of air. In severe cases, blood transfusions may b£ necessary. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous killer. Remember that it can _ 1 cause severe damage and evendeath-- without warning. . .
