This is the first of a series of articles to combat a new com mon enemy, carbon monoxide gas, more deadly and insidious than any "poison gas” employed in warfare. By L. T. WHITE Highway Safety Expert YOU are driving along In your automobile—travelling at a reasonable rate of speed. Your brakes are good; your motor Is functioning Bmoothly; your tires are In fine condition. But a new public enemy is riding with you! A public enemy few motorists sus pect; a vicious enemy that may ■trike you dead by suddenly throw ing your Judgement out of focus, by dangerously diminishing your natural alertness. That enemy is carbon monoxide, and the fact that 80 percent of au tomobile accidents are caused by "unaccountable” loss of control shows the vital importance of con stant tests to make sure that your automobile is not expelling danger ous quantities of carbon monoxide •—the poison that dulls the alert ness of drivers. Recent examinations by highway authorities indicate that 66 percent of cars examined showed this gas present in excessive amounts. They not only seeped through front floor boards, but air currents frequently propelled them into the interior of the car. To fight this ever-present enemy, which brings on headaches, dizzi ness, nauseau and often complete heart collapse, engineers have de vised the Power Prover, a scien tific means of ascertaining if a mo tor needs adjustment to eliminate the dangers of carbon monoxide. Thousands of drivers have availed themselves of this test, and discov ered that they had been driving with the menace of carbon monoxide constantly in their cars. i With many Insurance companies and safety committees urging that every motorist make a power prov er test of his car at regular inter vals, it will not be long until the danger of carbon monoxide can cut to a minimum degree. The Vagabonds—Hot Harmonists You've been hearing the Vagabond* over NBC network* on the Breakfast Club of the Air and in program* of their own.
