RED CROSS Will
INSTRUCT POLICE
National Society to Assist the
Berkeley Chapter in First
Aid to Injured

BERKELEY, Aug. 16.-The national
Red Cross society has heartily approved
Of the plans of the local Organization to
teach the police force the principles of
first aid to the injured, and to furnish
them with equipment, and through
Charles Lynch, head of the first aid de-
rdrtment, has expressed its approval of
the plans. The national society has now
written for more data on the move
ment, and asks that it be furnished
with information as to the kind of first
aid packets wanted and what instruc-
ton books to send here.
The letter from the national head
quarters follows:
at seems to all of US here that your
arrangement with the chief of police
would prove of great benefit to all
municipalities.
Il am sending you today under sep
arate cover sample of our individual
outfit. 1t can be procured through this
office at % cents per packet This is
but slightly higher than the ordinary
first aid packet, and as the Red Cross
outfit is practically indestructible the
ultimate cost is much less. Moreover,
one carrying it can be sure at all times
of having a packet which will be safe
to use. It seems to me that it would
be an excellent plan to have each pa
trolman carry one of these packets.
$50 far, aside from the books, we
have gotten up an individual outfit
which 1 mentioned. the instruction
charts and instruction outfit and the
large emergency box for industrial es-
adjustments. / am now working on a
small case for the Bell telephone COM
pany. The large emergency box, would,
am sure. be too large for, your pur-
pose. Moreover they are necessarily
expensive, costing SIS each.
Doctor Shields and | have gotten up
some small textbooks which will
sell at 80 cents per copy. These should,
1 think, be ready in 10 days. 1t was our
purpose to prepare different editions
adapted to different classes. The two
first will be the industrial and general
editions. l will have copy Of the in
dustrial edition, which will appear
earliest, sent to you on it's receipt. Our
instruction outfit contains triangular
and roller bandages, splints and tourni-
quets. They will be sold a SO each.
1T has always seemed to me that the
Red Cross should pay particular atten-
ton to instructing police and hremen in
first aid, as a certain obligation rests
on the association to better our public
servants of every class"
The Berkeley cnapter. which con-
ceived the plan of teaching the police
the first aid principles, is going ahead
with preparations for the course of lee
lures which will soon be given before
the police department. Already num-
Der of physicians of the Berkeley dis
pensary have volunteered their services
as instructors. These are Doctors E. B.
Hoag. Robert Hector, w. a. Sawyer and
t. c. McCleaVe.
The executive committee of the
Berkeley chapter will meet Thursday
night at the home of Rev. G. G. Ed
redge, the president, and discuss the
advisability of financing the movement
in its initial stages

FRUITVALE
DOGS DIE STRANGELY
White Chalk Crosses Marked on
Houses Of Owners

OAKLAND, Aug. 16.-Residents of
the block bounded by East Fourteenth
street, the boulevard, Thirty-fourth
and Thirty fifth avenues, Fruitvale, are
enraged over the killing of six valua-
BILE dogs in the last two days.
Chauffeur" a Gordon setter belong
ing to Frank LsViolette of the Fruit
vale garage, and Spot" a fox terrier
owned by j. Reilly of Thirty fourth
avenue, died last night from eating
meat covered with strychnine.
The strange feature of the case is
that at each house where dog has
been killed has been found, marked on
the gate or front door, one or more
white chalk crosses. The residents be-
lieve that the poisoning of the dogs is
preliminary to a raid by housebreak-
erS.

University of Salamanca, after
which the old University of Mexico
was patterned, and the University

grateful TO you for the honor you
have done us in times past in in

therefore, the most cordial of in

We certainly rely upon the ac-
ceptance of the three universities
specially mentioned and we even
more especially desire that the
University of California, which we

represented by her president at the
opening ceremonies. II is our hope
that in the future we may unite
with you in the actual realization
of the great social purposes look
