| By LEO DAUGHERTY The man who once was the fastlest automobile ariver in the world is working here for the airways’ speediest pilot. One of the first things Col. Roscoe Turner did after acquiring the Central Aeronautical Corp. contract at Municipal Airport was to hire George Souders, the former heavyfooted boy of the Indianapolis Speedway) If it's a TWA plane you heard petween 8:30 p. m. and 4:30 a. m, it's George Souders (who in 1927 won the 500-miler in California Bill White's Deusenberg after working all night on the racer) who sees that it's properiy fueled.

Additional Care With Small Heaters, Motors Urged By Coroner.

Dr. BE. R. Wilson, Marion County

coroner, today warned of the sea-

sonal increase in accidental deaths

i | due to carbon monoxide gas poison-!

ing. He said gas may come from an auto engine running in a closed garage, fumes from a gas water heater which has no vent, leaking tubes leading to small gas heaters in rooms and open gas burners. “All these are agents of death and with additional care many of the deaths annually resulting from these conditions can be avoided,” Dr. Wilson said. Carbon monoxide, the doctor warned, is a colorless and odorless gas and death from breathing it may occur quickly and without warning. When illuminating gas or gasoline burn completely, they change to a harmless gas called carbon dioxide. But if burning is not com= plete, as is often the case in gasoline engines and gas water heaters,
