The competition is in accordance At a luncheon at the Savoy with the rules published in the Hotel he said: "The study of the Telegraph during the weeks August hypothetical hazards associated 29-September 24. with the use of 'Ethyl petrol failed to show any evidence of the existence of any hazard to the public health. There is therefore no reason why the British publle, who are five years behind America in the use of Ethyl' potral, need have any fear that large numbers of persons are going to drepidown in the street or turn up in hoa- pital suffering from lead polsen- ing."

Exhaust Gases,

Dr. Kehoe described his experi- ments and also the examination he had made of persons engaged in handling the spirit on the other side of the Atlantic. In no caso had he found the slightest trace of lead poisonlig, and as for the poisonous effects of the exhaust gases ho said that all exhaust gases were poisonous.

Anyone going lobo a garage only just big enough to hold a car, shutting the door and running the engine for ten minutes, would jundoaltedly be brought out dead awing to carbon monoxide poison- ing; in comparison the quantity of Dead in exhaust fumes from

Ethyl spirit was negligible.

Dr. Kehoe sounded an interest- ing note of warning, with regard

from ear exhausts. In the courao of experiments he had conducted in large American cities he had often found that the carbon mono- [xide content of the atmosphere was perilously near the dangor point. It was possible in the fu- ture, with the growth of motor transport, that this danger would have to be seriously examined in congested districts.
