INTERESTING RESEARCH:
Carbon monoxide, the greatest [polson Inyblved in automobila Foperation, will be conquered by research, following the investiga tion by science which resulted in bringing ethyl gasoline again into use, asserts Dr. Harrison E. Howe, editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Employment of tetraethyl lead; which enters into the ethyl Buid, will stimulate acientific inquiry Into motors, according to Dr. Howe, so as "eventually to abolish car- bon monoxide through perfect combustion."
Dr. Howe, whose findings as to
ethyl fluid of more than a year ago have been borne out by the re- port of the conference of the U. S. Public Health Service, nees

"The net result of the efforts of these scientists," Dr. Howe says, "will be not only the ultimate con- quest of carbon monoxide but also
jan advance in automobile design, a closer union of chemistry and industry, better conditions in garages and shops and a field of greater usefulness for the govern- ment in safeguarding public health.
"The ethyl gasoline investiga- tion was carried on with public health funds available only at considerable sacrifice to other in- vestigations. If the ethyl gasoline study is to be continued as it should be and if, under its ample authority, the Public Health Ser-. vice is to conduct investigations along other lines affecting hazards in industry and public health, adequate provision must be made in the budget."
