"Worse Than Coal Gas'

Sir William Willcox, adviser to the Home Office on toxic gases, who said that he was a member of the Committee of the British Medical Association appointed to Inquire into tests for drunkenness, gave evidence at London Sessions on the effect of motor-car exhaust gases,

Dr. P. J. Conwell, of Marden- crescent, West Croydon, charged. with being under the influence of drink when driving, pleaded that his condition was due to carbon: monoxide poisoning caused by a leaking exhaust.

The jury stopped the case and hel was acquitted.

"Exhaust fumes are very danger-.. ous and contain seven per cent. of carbon monoxide," said Sir Wil Ham. "They contain more than coal, gas. Carbon monoxide is 30 dan- gerous that if there were one part. in 2,000 of air it would be danger- ous to Hfe. You would become un- conscious.
