mentioned that the railroads of the country

doing In this sphere by hauling the first aid
free Of charge over their respective lines
The first aid car Is divided into two parts Of
almost equal size. One-half of the space Of the
car 10 given over to an assembly and demonstra-
ton room-for. as has been explained, the
ls . hospital school on wheels-and the other
half is taken up by the living quarters for the
Instructors and crew. These men live on the car
at all times. just as doctors and nurses might
reside at hospital with which they were con-
nected. It Is In the assembly and demonstra-
tion roorn however. that the chief functions Of
the car are carried The room is large
enough to accommodate a considerable number
of people, seated camp stools. that It is
entirely practicable to use 1t as lecture hall In
giving first aid instruction when there is
larger hall available in a town visited and when
weather conditions do not permit OF the first
aid demonstrations being conducted in the open
air,
But the first aid car has another function quite
aside from it's primary purpose OF a nomadic
school. 1t may. on occasion, be used as tenn
porary or emergency hospital and It is likely to
prove of great value in this capacity. since 1t
can. upon telegraphic request. be rushed to any
camp town village where a disaster of any
kind has taken place and where there are, may
hap, regular hospital facilities of any kind.
The car carries the necessary apparatus for

necessary for under such circumstances.
This latter equipment is in addition, Of course,

The Elbert County tribune., 1912-01-05

No ~opder then that the Red Cross is directing
its frst aid propaganda to the railroad men OF
the country and to the workers in shops. mills

Not only is the Red Cross giving widespread
instruction in first aid to the injured (Which It
Ia argued is Just necessary as instruction In

new type of car, a campaign for the prevention
of accidents Statistics seem to indicate that
about one-half of the accidents which result In
injury or death would have been preventable by
the exercise OF proper care and reasonable pre-
ventive measures and the Red Cross Is endeavor-
ing to teach workmen how to dodge mishaps and
how to minimize the effect Of an accident II 1t
does appear inevitable.
The Red Cross will not depend entirely upon
the LESSONS and lectures given on the first aid
cars, although these pave the way for effort In
the direction of volunteer first aid work Sup
pementing these series Of charts and more
important yet, simple books Of instruction and
surgical materials which can prove serviceable
in unskiled hands. A special first aid book has
been issued for the use Of industrial workers and
has been translated into Italian. Slovak Polish
and Lithuanian. In the near future there will be
issued other editions of this work specially adapt
ed for by women. by policemen and fremen.
by sailors and by farm hands and ranch workers,
or course It Ia not the thought that such In
struction will enable the most skilled Of the
volunteer Red Cross workers to replace the doc.
tor except in the of trivial injuries. but
with the new knowledge these volunteers will
know what to do until the doctor arrives. and
often by stopping flow Of blood or by other
means may be enabled to save life when regu-
lar physician is not promptly on the scene.
To cover the full scope Of this work the
Red Cross has found It necessary to go
farther and to supplement its work of nstruc-
tion by providing several different forms OF first
aid boxes equipped with certain simple remedies
and necessities such are required in putting
the first aid instruction into practice in shops
and elsewhere These supplies are sold at prices
which are intended merely to cover the cost of
preparation without providing any profit and
that they supply long felt want would seem to
be indicated by the fact that the Red Cross has.
during the past year, sold considerably than
$4,000 worth of such supplies. And. not content
