Strate New Kind of Stretcher.

A first aid to the injured exhibition
was held Friday afternoon at the
home of Kilmaurs King, in North To-
peka, by about fifty boys of the Re
form school, under the direction of
Superintendent H. W. Charles. The
spectators were some of the members
of the Good Government club and two
of the teachers from the school.
big tent in the back yard at the King
home sheltered the guests from the
sun, and Miss King served the boys of
the school and the visitors with soft
drinks, sandwiches and cake before
the performance. The superintendent
marshaIIed the boys into shady part
of the yard, called for volunteers and
distributed bandages for supposed
emergency injuries. Imaginary brok-
en- arms and collar bones, mashed
feet and severed arteries Were mend
ed ste-post-haste, by fingers made
nimbIe by much practice. Then fol-
lowed a litter drill, led by a young
negro boy. Superintendent Charles
has lately issued a little booklet which
he calls Till the Doctor Comes for
distribution among the boys of the
school as a text book.
a feature of the afternoon was the
display of a unique stretcher which is
Mr.. Kings invention. Strapped to
the side rods of the stretcher are ar
ticles for emergency use, such as
scissors, various kinds of bandages,
absorbent cotton, splints. etc. Each
package is labeled and may be found
Instantly. Strapped to the bars are
also flexible hoops that bend over the
stretcher, fastening into iron loops
at each side, over which covering
may be placed. like the canvas of
a covered wagon. The cloth covering
fastens to small hooks along the bars
This part of the equipment is used to
screen the patient from view or to
protect him from sun or storm. A
particularly clever device is used in

which opens the stretcher flat Tn
derneath are two sets of ball bearing
casters.
The arrangement is undoubtedly
the most complete outfit of it's kind
in existence. 1t is very little heavier
than the ordinary stretcher, and is
exactly fitted to the use to which it
is put. Mr.. King was asked why he
had never patented his invention, and
his entirely characteristic answer
was: Il am not interested in making
any money-it serves my purpose
very well, and that's what L made
