Z! ! ' Safety Director Os Gas Company Points Out Gas Asphyxiation Hazards

That 75 per cent of the gas asphyxiation cases ure due to the absence »f I vent pipeH on water heaters and wat'er heaters placed in bathrooms was brought out in an interview with R. M. Godwin, safety director of the Northern Indiana Public Service company,’ In Fort Wayne, in connection witli the recent cases of gas asphyxiation caused by poor connections on a hotplate in the basement of a home. “Twenty-five per cent of the gas asphyxiation cases arts due to the people themselves makfng improper connections to the existing lines in the house gas piping. Other causes of trouble with gus lines are due to the use of cheap grades of rubber tubing for connecting portable gas appliances anti the placing of obstructions over |vent connections of water heaters and gas stoves. The ftbsencQ of valves in pipe lines controlling the flow of gas when lines are installed inexperienced persons is still another factor in casefc *of gas asphyxiation.” Mr. Godwin continued. “We very strongly urge the installing of vent pipes on all water heaters and the use of metal reinforced gas tubing with metal couplings where gas appliances are to lie connected to the house pipe lines. Pipe should be made by experienced work men and gas appliances should be kept in proper adjustment at all times. Gas appliances adjustments will be given number of colleges and universities, such as Cornell and New York Universities. and is creating a distinct revolution in teaching methods throughout the whole country. The pupils of the European School of Music, either in Fort Wayne or surrounding will be graded in a systematic way, such as characterizes "and full credit will be given for work in the grades. These credits will entitle the child to proper redognition of his work while going through school, as well as give him full recognition Allien going to college or university. The course will include a' private piano lesson, at which problems of technique and physical adaptations are taken carfe of. The piano lesson proper can only be efficiently taken care

prompt attention If the gasTon?p!lfy Is notified. “Many gas explosions occur yearly in the United States which are due to persons hunting gas leaks with matches and open flames. The gas company should always be notified promptly at the first sign of a gas leak and it will receive prompt attention. Never hunt for gas teaks with matches or open flames. "The gas company has trained their workmen in the art of the prone pressure method of resuscitation, which is used in reviving persons overcome by gas of whatever kind, electric shock 'or drowning. An aftiaratus known as the H and H. inhalator for administering oxygen and carbon dioxide (the inahaltion of which speeds recovery to those overcome by gas is available for use at any time and the gas company's workmen will be glad to render assistance at any time if called upon to do so.” Mr. Godwin said that he would also be ready at any time to speak before clubs, schols and any other organization on safety matters, especially in regard to the prone pressure method of resuscitation and give a practical demonstration of it. The prone pressure method has saved hundreds of lives in cases of persons overcome by gass, electric shock, drowning and so on and is so siritple ttyat a child can perform it successfully, Mr. Godwin said. of by individual work with each individual child and therefore no attempt is made to teach piano in clas-, ses as.this has generally proven unsatisfactory. Along with the piano lesson one hour of a child’s time is taken away from his practice at home and the child is trained in class instead in the necessary features of ear-train-ing. rhythm, elementary harmony, general musicianship, and practice habits. In this w'ay no additional burden is placed on the child’s time, but rather a much’ higher degree of efficiency is promoted in the actual practice time that the student is devoting to his work. A public demonstration for the above course was given Wednesday evening at the High School auditorium

at eight o’clock by pupils of Miss Ruth Castle of the faculty of the European School of Music. ! —, 0 Criticism Os Dancing Is Found In Old Book Boston, (United Press) The dance craze was the object of almost as ninth criticism a century ago as ft is ['today. This was shown by a book, yellowed with age, which was recently In the walls of an rtcidnt maslon demolish ed in Medford. Under the heading, "Dancing." the author, in 1831, wrote: ’ Nothing shows the national characiter, dr thoughtlessness and gaiety, more plainly than a strong and general propensity for dancing. . "A passion for this amusement affects persons in every grade ot life. It might be supposed that those only I Would be disposed to engage in it whose spirits are continually elastic J and buoyant, under the cheering smiles of prosperity and ease.
