"WARMING HER UP."
It's a great temptation when cool weather has chilled the motor in your car to "warm her up a little" before you start out. Often this is done with garage doors closed. Don't close the door —it is extremely hazardous. Data assembled shows that the hazard of carbon monoxide poisoning, while unimportant as compared with many other accident causes, is increasing rapidly. In 1929 there were more than twice as many deaths from this cause as in 1924. The 1028 and 1929 death rates from carbon monoxide show a steady increase. Remember this about carbon monoxide — You can't see it! You can't smell it! You can't taste ■ it! But it is deadly! When you are in your garage with the motor running, keep the doors and windows open.
