T'he hazards of driving an automobile are greater than those in any other mode of travel, aviation not excepted. Injuries ranging from mere scratches and finger wounds to skull fractures, broken backs, and asphyxiation from | carbon monoxide gas, happen every | day, and severe shock to the nerves, | with partial or complete unconscious- | ness, accompanies most automobile ac- | cidents. In the majority of cases these | accidents terminate fatally because | medical first aid is not available at the | time the accident occurs. Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, commis- | sioner of health of Chicago, was con- sulted, and the advice given by him is | Learn to Draw Fashions 12 happy weeks of prac- tical training -- draw gar- ments furnished by news- paper advertisers.

"In making a trip," says the bulletin, "motorists prepare for almost everything but accidents yet emergen- cies that require prompt first aid treat- ment frequently arise, and in such emergencies, preparedness means safety. Substitute for Doctor "Trips to the country often take the motorist to places far removed from human habitation. During the first days of spring the automobile will carry millions away from the beaten high- ways, into corners where the services of a physician are not available. In these out-of-the-way places one may encounter a reckless, irresponsible driver whose careless action may re- sult injury to himself or to others; at camp, insect bites, sprains and bruises are common injuries. It is simply good sense, then, for the motorist to carry a first aid kit and to familiarize himself with its use. "Every officer of the motor vehicle department of our cities and states is striving to reduce the preventable auto- mobile accidents and the progress they have made is commendable. It is be- yond their ability, or any other power, to prevent the suffering and death re- sulting even from the minor injuries, without the proper first aid treatment for injuries." Here's Aid Kit The first aid kit recommended by Dr. BuBndeson, contains the following articles: two ounces of tincture of iodine or 5% mercurochrome; one dozen small cotton swabs; two two inch gauze bandages; one one inch gauze bandage; one yard sterile gauze; one-fourth pound sterile cotton; one tourniquet or small rubber tube 2 feet long: one small scissors; one yard of 14 inch zinc oxide adhesive plaster; one dozen small and one dozen large safety pins; two ounces of aromatic spirits of amonia. These articles should be kept in a clean box, tightly covered and placed within easy reach. The motorist has a responsibility to himself and to those who ride with him, and he has no less a responsibility to fellow motorists and pedestrians. The motorist who carries a first aid kit will find that he will be frequently put in the position of a good Samaritan. The assistance he gives to those who may meet with accident will in many cases result in the saving of life, which other- wise might have been lost. When the motorists of the country begin to realize the great variety of in- juries that may be met with while motoring or camping, the use of the first aid kit will become more popular. The injuries that are most likely to occur are in themselves slight, but be- cause of lack of attention, they may have serious results. Mere scratches and finger wounds frequently develop into blood poisoning when first aid is neglected. & Oe Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Felsenthal of 1123 Chatfield road are in Hot Springs, Ark. -- 3 | R. B.
