FIRST AID TRAINING
TO MEN AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands LifeSaving
Methods.
TD6 purpose OI instruction in rim
Aid to the Injured offered by the American
Red Cross Is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treatment
promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand It First Aid
treatment Is not intended to take the
place of a physician's service. A surgeon
should always be summoneed as
a precautionary measure where there
la an Injury of any consequence, bnt
jtm when one cannot be secured a few mlnW
utes* delay may mean a fatality. In
r such a case a person trained in First
ft Aid Is invaluable not only to the inr
dividual, but through him to the cominanity
In which he Uvea
There is perhaps no way of ascerPF
talnlng the number of deaths or serlous
disablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. It is safe to assert
they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the application
of First Aid methods to each
would immeasurably lighten the
country's toll of suffering and death.
The d'ssemlnation of First Aid training
and information has already produced
a.farreaching and beneficial influence
in the prevention of accidents
on railroads, in mines and in great industrial
concerns.
The benefit of a widespread knowledge
of First Aid in the event of a
great disaster, such as a train wreck,
an explosion, an earthqulke, etc., is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient assistance.
Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
(1) the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, of classes for in
structlon Is accident prevention ana
(Pint Aid to the Injured among men
Jl and women In all communities and In
every Industry; (2) the Introduction of
courses of instruction In high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross Is prepared to supply
L First Aid books and equipment at rea|
sonable prices.
Every person in this country able to
ido so should, in his own interest, receive
Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and instructioa
classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.
RED CROSS EXTENDS

by the American Red Cross in aiding

organization has nursed the sick, fed
the starving, clothed the naked, sheltered
the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. It has
conducted a relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible diseases.
So today millions of men and
women in that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation of "The
Greatest Mother in the World."
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged In relief activities
in Poland. Four large relief
* bases are in operation and eleven mobile
units are in the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es^
tabllshment of a million refugee at 9
BflA cost for general relief of more than
$1,000,000. Last winter one-half ralllion
war orphans were aided materially^
ly, and since then a series of large or
phanages have been established to give
HHl ^ -them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, offlcials
of Poland declared recently, millions
of people in that country would
have perished of disease, exposure
Hr starvation the last eighteen months.
W And the work there must be kept op
for another year.

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
i
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
"Fourteenth" Division.
??Among
the most enthusiastic and
i energetic members of the American j
! Red Cross are those citizens of the j
i United States, who live outside the j
i continental boundaries of their country :
; ?sons and daughters of the Stars and
I At. . M ^v# !
; stripes resiuing ai me mr cviueio ui i
tie earth.
These people compose the Insular
| and Foreign Division of the parent or- ,
I ganlzatlon, generally known as the '
j "Fonrteenth" Division, which has I
: jurisdiction of all territory outside
' the country proper; that is, Alaska,
{ Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the Island
of Yap, which came under our !
j flag as a result of the world war. For
; the year 1920 this division reported !
80,808 paid up members.
The main object of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the opportunity
to participate in the work
of the organization which stands for '
the best national Ideals. Americans j
In far places Intensely loyal and pa- j
triotlc, treasure their membership in
the Red Cross as the outward expression
of their citizenship. )t Is another
tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters of
this division In Argentine. Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone. Chile, China. Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, '
Ecuador, England, France, Guam,- '
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Nicaragua,
Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay, \
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib- I
uted millions in money, and millions
of dollars' worth of necessary articles i
for the men In service, and sent many 1
doctors and nurses to France. At the '
same time they carried on an excel- j
lent Home Service In their respective ,
communities for the families of those ;
who had gone to war, and in some re- ;
gione gave large sums of money and '
Immeasurable personal service to the I
relief of disaster and disease victims.
The division Is now establishing |
service clubs In foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors In the American Merchant
Marine, making plans to aid j
Americans In trouble In foreign lands j
and completing arrangements for giv- j
lng Immediate adequate relief in case
of disaster.

RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS
The American Red Cross Is carrying
on a wide program of service for the
disabled World War veterans receiving
treatment In United States Public
Health hospitals, and those being trained
through agencies of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
In each of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time to the general welfare of
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldier's discharge
the Red Cross continues its
friendly service through the Home
Service Section in his own community.
The Red Cross maintains a convalescent
house at all of the hospitals,
where patients can amuse themselves
after they are well enough to be up
and around. Parties and picture shows
Id the wards are also furnished, with i
occasional excursions when contains- '
cence comes. V
Great service has been rendered by |
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden- |
tifying those who have appeared In
state hospitals for the Insane, and helping
them secure compensation due from
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance.
Id the Federal Board's various district
offices the Red Cross worker, acting
with the Home Service Section,
makes necessary loans to the men, ar- t
ranges suitable living conditions, helps 1
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Board, assists in "appealing cases" and
settles various personal difficulties for ;
the men. The workers also follow up i
and aid all men who discontinue train- I
ing.
The Red Cross agents find men "lost"
to the Board, help clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors in
their friendly work with the men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities, and in some inlirinr
clubs, so these victims
of war may have attractive surround-1
Ings and the fun which must go with, j
effective school work.
To the American Red Cross Institute
for the Blind near Baltimore, Md.,
more than half of all the Americans
blinded In the World War have come
for training. The Institute, through
the Red Cross, long ago conducted an
exhaustive Industrial survey to deter "!"?
vocations for which blind
men could be fitted. As a result It Is i
putting forth well trained men equip- j
ped to meet the social, civic and eco- .
notnlc requirements of their respective
communities.
Aid for Spanish Red Cross.
The Iberian chapter of the American
Red Cross, composed of Americans
resident In Spain, has Just contributed
$480 to a fund being raised b^fhe
Spanish Red Cross and the League of
Red Cross Societies for the purpose of
fighting malaria.
Are You a Bore?
There are many kinds of borespeople

who write books and talk about them
and people who write books and won'1
