First aid to the injured was demon

| Cross car on the Union Pacific tracks
/ lust east of the Union Pacific freight
depot. The car, in charge OF Dr. M. w.
| GLASGOW, is under the supervision or
the first aid department OF the Amerl-
can Red Cross association. Pract1caI
lessons in first aid to injured Will be
given in the car tomorrow morning
after which it will go to Lawrence
The same car was here going over
the Rock Island Lines in March. II
began the circuit of the Hartman lines
a few months ago at Ogden, after COW
erins the oregon Short Line and other
coast railroads.
The idea is TO give lessons to railroad
men and others about first care to the
hurt. With d man for a patient DR..
Glasgow shows how to bind up trac-
ture temporarily, how to apply gauze
on burns and above all emphasizes
that everything which touches burn
or wound should be as clean as posi-
BILE. Otherwise germs from solled ma
teriaI may cause infection.
The bandages and other material
used in the demonstrations are found
in the emergency boxes which are
gradually becoming the equipment Of
round houses, depots, and coal and
other mining plants.
This car has been in commission
since December Is, 1910. The commit
tee, known as the First Aid Committee
of the Red Cross society which super
vises it, is headed by Major Charles
Lynch. John Hays AammOn, a Well
known politician and statesman, JuStlS
Kreutschnitts, third vice president of
the Hartman roads, John Mitchell, the
noted labor leader, are included on the
committee.
DR.. Glasgow is graduate of Wander
bilt college, Nashville, Tenn. He has
had ten years experience in emergency
work as surgeon for railroad COM
panies.
In case of a fracture straighten the
injured limb and put on Splints of soma
kind to keep the broken bones from
grating on each other,' said DR.. GlaS-
gov this afternoon. Il have seen mell
with broken legs brought to the hos
pital doubled up like jack knives. The
first aid to the hurt is what often de-
termines whether the patient will live
or die Above all things, bandages
should be as clean as possible. I have
known in case of wounds, that dirty
waste would be applied to stop the
bleeding and infection would set in
from the germs on the material
