Cognizant of tremendous losses In human lives and of permanent injuries resulting from accidents in homes, on farms and highways, and uround indus trial plants as well as in the basement workshop, officials of the American Red Cross nave been directing a sys tematic fight against what they term "this economic waste." As part of this nation-wide effort to reduce deaths and permanent in juries from accidents, a recent s'atp ment from Red Cross headquarters in Washington reports that during th. past 12 months certificates Have beer, granted to 295.028 persons completing courses In the administration of Red Cross first aid. Holders of these certificates Have followed detailed courses of study and have been taught how to splint fractured limbs, stop flow of blood, treat poison sufferers, care for victims of heat, electric shock, and handle other common emergency situations. The courses emphasize methods of caring for patients until professional medical aid can be summoned to scenes of accidents. Since 1910,° the report reveals, 1,725,- 406 persons have received this training from qualified Red Cross instructors, and at the present time 20,429 persons are qualified to give such instruction. Bringing help nearer scenes of possible accident. 2.454 emergency first aid stations have been established In strategic locationa on principal highways throughout the nation, operators of the stations receiving the prescribed Red Cross instructions,and maintaining full first aid equipment on the spot.

Mobile first aid units also have been established in cooperation with state highway and police departments, operators of public utility vehicles and others frequenting highways, operators of such units also receiving the prescribed Red Cross courses in first aid. To cut the number of persons losing their lives through drowning while swimming,* the Red Cross has redoubled efforts to train as many persons as possible in life saving methods. During the past year 88,150 persons received certificates upon completion of courses. Since 1914, 884,649 persons have been trained in Red Cross life saving methods, including thousands of persons in CCC camps, beach patrolmen, camp instructors, and school boys and girls. Carrying the fight onto farms and into homes, a campaign to eliminate accidents caused by careless habits and faulty equipment last year resulted in self-checks being made in 10,000,000 American homes through cooperation of children in school, women's clubs, farm organizations, and other groups. The 3,700 Red Cross chapters and their branches in every county are cooperating in this national effort to end needless pain and suffering resulting froin such accidents.
