EXHAUST GASES WINTER PERIL Dangers of Carbon Monox- ide Poisoning Told When the first cool days of fall come, we may expect to pick up our news- paper any day and read that some motorist has paid the penalty for his ignorance of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. The accident pre- vention department of the Chicago Motor Club believes that instead of waiting until the cool weather is upon us, that ample warning of this menace to life should be broadcast now. Do you run your car in a closed garage? If you do you are courting death. Carbon monoxide is a poison- ous gas present in the automobile en- gine exhaust You cannot see it, smell it, nor taste it. This gas is the product of incomplete combustion. It has been found that the exhaust gases of auto- mobiles contain from four to eight per cent of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide displaces the oxy- gen from its combination with the col- oring matter of the blood, which ab- sorbs oxygen from the air in the lungs and delivers it to the tissues of the body. Acute carbon monoxide poison- ing is evidenced by a feeling of illness, a throbbing of the blood vessels and a burning sensation in the face. Quick Relief Necessary Nausea, headache, dizziness and drowsiness are other symptoms. If re- lief is not at hand death results. Per- sons have been known to work all day exposed to this poisoning without any ill effects until they reached home, when severe symptoms developed. The Chicago Department of Health reports that in six years 1,426 cases of accidental gas asphyxiation occurred. Dr. Herman N. Bundeson, the commis- sioner of health, recommends the fol- lowing treatment for reviving victims: Call a physician, and in the mean- time remove the victim to fresh air, keep the patient at rest, lying down to avoid strain on the heart, perform arti- ficial respiration in this fashion: Patient lies with his face down, arms stretched in front. The operator strad- dles the patient about the hips and applies firm pressure over the back of the ribs, quickly withdrawing his hands. This maneuver expels the air in the lungs of the victim and the sud- den withdrawel of the pressure causes a sharp inhalation of fresh air. It is advisable at that time, too, to have someone simultaneously pull the tongue back and forth in rhythm with the ex- piration and inspiration. As soon as it can be obtained, a mixture of oxygen and five per cent dioxide should be administered for at least 20 minutes or more and the circulation must be aided over the period of low vitality by external applications of heat. Open Garage First In the newspaper accounts of car- bon monoxide poisoning we often read that the victim was found scated at the wheel, while the engine was still running. Evidently, continues the ac- cident prevention bulletin, the motor- ist started his car with the intention of opening the doors after his engine warmed up. This teaches us a lesson in common. REALTY ROW'S ABUSY MART Last Minute Buyers Want Early Occupancy "Busy!" is the word on real estate row this week. With a good number of deals actu- ally consummated, it was discovered this week that an even larger number of properties were under process of transfer and buyers were listing their needs in larger numbers each day. Besides the transferes reported this week, 11 other deals are known to be practically completed, some money having been passed in many of the cases and written acceptances filed on others. Five of these are known to be for consideration of $30,000 or over. Last minute buyers, whose vaca- tions of summer languors have resulted in postponements, have harassed the real estate men all week for properties with early occupancy demands. Some of these are inquiries for $30,000 or better values. Buyers, however, still demand a good value for their money. They are people seeking the property for residence, and not for speculative purposes. This is clearly indicated by the fact that, though bungalows in the village are scarce, one which is well built and in a good location has been seeking a buyer for almost a year with no re- sults. Too high a price still is possi- ble in Wilmette. The excessive heat Sunday sent people to the beaches instead of to the real estate dealers and other days of the week have been busier as a result. Many of the deals are being handled through letters and telegrams from va- cationing or out-of-town owners and buyers and this has, of course, slowed up the transfers somewhat. F. P. Whitely Purchases Home on Elmwood Avenue F. P. Whitely, an official of the Howard Paper company of Chicago, who has been residing at the Orring- ton hotel, Evanston, has purchased the Colonial residence at 816 Elmwood avenue, Wilmette, through the E. E. Stults Realty company. The home is an unusually attractive one, consisting of seven rooms, having a stucco finish and modern through- out. Miss Nettie Dyer was the former owner. Mr. Whitely is to have pos- session about September 15. Mr and Mrs. Fred Wild and daugh- ter, Miss Julia, of 628 Greenleaf avenue, returned this week from a short trip in- to Michigan. . Village Speed Law Signs May Soon Be Memories The old warning signs interpreting the speed law as dictated by the wish- es of the various village authorities are to be a thing of the past, accord- ing to the Chicago Motor club. The state highway department, under the new law has the right to exercise au- thority over roads through towns if such roads are part of the state sys- tem of highways, and to erect suit- able signs setting forth the various speed limits in the business, residential and outlying districts. According to word received by the club from Springfield, the highway department is now considering the erection of such signs. The depart- ment has been given jurisdiction over the traffic on these state highways through towns, and motor club officials believe that this will be a strong ac- cident deterrent, and will tend to elim- inate the speed trap evil. HAROLD IS DIFFERENT "Now Or Never" is as different from other comedies as the difference be- tween the sleeping sickness and the woman who -talked eight days with- out stopping--as different as the dif- ference between Harold Lloyd and other comedians.
