FIRST AID WORK
IS BEING PUSHED
Two phases of the Red Cross work
that nro being pushed under the peaco
program oC the organization are first
aid and llfo saving two principals
with which every person should have
at least the fundamentals, for thcro Is
no tellings at what time they will
prove of vital need.
In the central division, In particu
lar, Is this work being carried on ex
tensively and Intensively. More chap
ters lmvo taken up this line of work
and tlio number of schools which lmvo
adopted courses In first aid Is In
creasing with considerable rapidity.
During tbo Inst few months the Bu
reau of llrst aid has been instru
mental In Introducing courses in the
normal schools in each of the states,
with the result that several hundred
teachers iioy. nro prepared to act aa
Instructors. In several iustnnccs
enough Interest has been aroused In
the normal schools to have work con
tinued throughout the year.
Swimming Activities Grow.
Swimming activities linvc been ex
ceptionally well carried on, particu
larly at Muskegon, Mich., where, un
der the auspices of tho Chicago chap
ter, more than 400 boys were taught
swimming, life saving and elementary
first aid under expert Instructors.
Ludington, Mich., also employed a
permanent teacher for swimming and
life saving nnd reports excellent at
tendance in tho classes. Many appli
cations have been received from chap
ters throughout the division for tho
uso of a swimming teacher, but, un
fortunately, up to the present tlmo
there have not been enough teachers
to meet the demands.
Milwaukee Chapter Busy.
Milwaukee chapter has carried on
an exceptionally active campaign,
both In first aid nnd life saving
work, nnd reports a large number of
graduates. This chapter also has
pushed the advanced work in tho
instruction of first aid nnd has pu
pils at present nwaltlng their medals,
which have been issued to them from
Washington. .
Many private institutions which
have no connection whntever with tho
Ited Cross have been ordering first
aid 'supplies through the division
office. These institutions undoubtedly,
In n very short time, will bo brought
under the jurisdiction of tho Ited
Cross clinpters.

We nivu hero an edltoWNl written
by William Allen Whito and printed
in Hit. Emporia (Kaus.) GnzBtto. It
may call attention to a local condition
which is very similar.
"A Moctor Iti a small town purchas
ed an itoin or two from one of tho
large mnll order houses enough to
got his nnmo on their mailing list.
Later on when ho failed to order
more goods tlio catalog hoifso's follow
up man got busy nnd in one of his
letters nskod a number of stereotyped
questions as to why tho former no
lunger , patronized his house. Tlio
following is tho sonslblo and hard
headed doctor's reply:
" 'your letter of recent difte asking
why I had not trndod with you fdr a
long time, recoivod; and as you ask
mo to tell you frankly why, I will
glvo you a few reasons.
" 'First I am in business in this
community, with its varied Industries
for my support I cannot nsk tho
merchants of tho town for tliolr sup
port if I do not give them mine.
" 'Second In looking over my
books, I fall to find olthor Mr. ,
Mr. or othor of the company's
names, which reminds me that neither
of theso gontlomoii have over given
mo a penny's patronage. Why is tills?
Am I too far away, or havo noither
of them needed a physician, or nro
they afraid of tho mnil order plan
when it comes to tho practico of medi
cine? I can certainly givo as good
satisfaction by mall as your houso
can and will appreciate a call from
either of them when in need of medi
cal service. .
" 'Third In looking over tlio sub
scription lists for improving our
streets and public highways, I havo
failed to find the name of cither mem
ber of your firm down for ono penny
to assist in tho work. Also I havo
failed to find your namo on any char
ity lists whero help has been .render
ed to our poor; in other words, you
are not down as a contributor to our
Helping Hand Society. In fact in all
the movements for tho betterment of
our conditions, whero our community
lias needed the united efforts of her
public spirited citizens, I havo failed
to find your namo among tho list of
our contributors. Your name is not
on our city tax books, nor do I find
whero you have paid a city license to
do a mercantile business In competi
tion with our homo merchants.
" 'Theso nro a few answers to your
quqstions, and I trust you will see
the justico of them.'
"That tho prosperity of a town may
properly bo gauged by the prosperity
of its morchnnts needs no arguments.
If tho peoplo of tho town spend their
money out of town send it to Clii
cago catalogue houses tho mer
chants get just that much less, the
town loses that much trade and that
much money, loses insomuch as that
money would eventually go toward
bettering conditions In that town and
in fnct, building up the town itself."
