reads on opinion. After these are
finished, the chief Justice reads the orders.
The orders are decisions of the court
to admit to review or to deny review
of cases which are sought to be
brought be/ore the court. The court
has considered whether the questions
involved make necessary an argument
before the court, and these orders are
merely announcements as to whether
it will be heard.
Now Member* Admitted.
After the orders, the court asks if
there are anjr applications for admission
to the bar of the Supreme court.
There always are, as leading lawyers
from all over the country come here
with important cases from their states.
The applicants' names are read and
they stand up for observance by the
court Another lawyer, already a
member of the bar, stands with each
one and tells the court that the applicant

Shortly after the completion of the

the railroads. The little village of
Wabash sprang up long after, both
cities occupying positions of equal advantage
on the two highways of the
past and future, the canal and the
railroad.
With the coming of the railroads
the canal went into decline, shipping
rapidly decreased, and L^gro's bid for

railroad, for the right of way was less

surgical diathermy, an electrical method
of removing cancer tissue.
The diathermy method consists
merely of generating heat within the
tissues by use of an electric current,
which has been proven after years of
experiment In hospitals and surgical
clinics to destroy the cancerous
growth as efficiently as the surgeon's
knife. Doctor Kobak held that by the
use of this newer method many lives
might be saved.

DEADLY DANGERS^
OF EXHAUST GAS
Experts Tell of Carbon Monoxide
Peril in MotorCar
Garages.
With more than 20,000,000 motor
cars registered In t l?e I'nited States
and a contemplated 192(1 production
of 3,000,000 more automobiles, various
organizations are staning an edu'fe'.iotiul
crusade against carbon monoxide
(deadly motor exhaust gas).
Insurance investigators and chemical
authorities, not to mention government
health officials, agree that
this gas is one of the most deadly of
all gases. The very fact that it attacks
without warning and that but
sunpie precautions are necessary to I
prevent Its large life-taking toll de |
niands, authorities believe, a wide- i
spread educational program coiupar- j
uhle to the tremendous Increase In the
use of automotive vehicles.
, Most: Deadly in Garages.
It is estimated that millions of au- !
toipoliiles are kept In public garages. !
It is in the garage that monoxide gas.
as it is commonly called, gets in its
deadliest work. Automobile engines
are constantly running in all public
garages, and they release a deadly
flood of this highly poisonous gas foe
employees to breathe. Without proper
ventilating precautions this menacing
practice eliminates the entrance of
the lighter oxygen and results in
practically a closed chamber with the
air loaded with this gas.
A well-Known insurance Investigator
aptly explains monoxide gas and its
effect as follows: "There is no means
of detecting its presence by smell,
sight or other senses. Its attack is insidious
and quick, and a perfectly well
person may topple over unconscious
without warning. While the automobile
engine Is In operation it constantly
creates a flow of carbon monoxide
gas through its exhaust, and
experiments have shown that only a
remarkably short time Is necessary to
till a garage with sufficient quantities
of tills gas to cause instant death to
occupants."
Overbalances Oxygen.
A representative of a national ventilating
society declares that carbon
monoxide "overbalances oxygen when
nrcauieu lino 1111* lungs. r.xpiainlng
the effect of this poison on a person,
he said: "There are two properties
of the blood essential to proper
respiration, the white and red blood
cells. The latter absorbs oxygen,
drawn Into the lungs, and distributes
It to all parts of the body. Now monoxide
gas Is attracted to the red cells
300 times more strongly than Is oxygen,
and It easily saturates the
blood. This absorption of monoxide
gas by the blood temporarily replaces
the oxygen supply and quickly Induces
asphyxia."
A small leak In the exhaust of a
closed automobile will cause headache
and a tired feeling to the occupants,
authorities agree. The same Is
true of confinement In a closed room
where gas burners are in operation.
This Is directly due to the presence
of carbon monoxide and the lack of
oxygen through Improper ventilation.

Accidents Likely When
Brakes Are Water-Soaked
Brakes should be given special attention
after a car has been washed
or has been driven through water (or
splashy mud. In either case, wat|er
is almost sure to get Into an.d soak the
externul brake bands, and under such
conditions water Is very much of I a

the first time you need to stop In J a
hurry, you are very likely to find that
they refuse to take hold promptly aijd
a bad smashup may be the result.
The remedy for suspected w^t
brake bands la to drag the brake ja
few times Immediately after leaving
the wasbstand. The Increased prepsure
on the brake bands forces out ft *
water and allows It to dry off, so thpt
when needed In an emergency, they
will take hold promptly.
Where grease, oil, mud. dirt and so
on have produced a sort of glaze on
the brake bands, they cannot be expected
to take hold as they should
and accidents are likely to happen.

Few Simple Regulations
to Cut Motor Accidents
We have too much automobile law.
The next trend must be toward the
elimination of all unnecessary requirements
and the enactment of a
few simple rules and regulations that
may be easily understood, easily enforced
and, as nearly as possible, universally
observed, says an ottlclal of
an automobile organization. Such an
elimination would In many Instances
do away with about three-fourths of
our present laws.
Traffic rules and regulations are
yet In their formative period. Much
remains to be done before avoidable!
accidents may be reduced to a mini-!
mum. The principal difficulty Is the'
unwillingness of the public to accept!
and obey such rules and regulations.!
It is a matter of undisputed record j
that between 90 and 95 per cent of j
all accidents result from the neglect!
of the Individual pedestrian and less,
than 5 per cent are caused by the|
direct fault of the motorist or the!
reckless use of the motor car. Lying:
between these figures somewhere are)
from 3 to 5 per cent of the accidents'
