MANY DEATHS DUE
TO CARELESSNESS
DR.. Davis, of Red Cross Society,
Tells Boy Scouts How to
Care for Injured.

Many deaths and permanent de-
formities are caused by the careless or
ignorant handling OF injured persons,
according to DR. Davis, in charge of the
Red Cross car now parked at Main
Street Station. who told the BOY Scouts
how to care for injured persons at the
John Marshall High School yesterday
afternoon He gave especially simple
and valuable hints about caring for
simple and compound fractures.
The most important thing to remem-
Der, he said. Is never to try to pull a
compound fracture back into S,lace
Immediately after the injury, and al
ways to pull simple fracture. In
the case of compound fracture, es-
pecially If the bone has broken the
skin, dirt will get on the bone, and If
pulled into place. Will cause poison
ing In the case OF a simple fracture,
on the other hand. the bone should be
pulled into place before the muscles
begin to swell. making tho operation
difficult and painful.
DIR. Davis laid boy on the floor
and put his leg In splint as II the
thigh were broken, He then showed
how to carry the wounded man with
out giving him unnecessary pain.
In reviving drowning persons, Dr..
Davis emphasized the need Of keeping
the tongue out of the mouth. The
tongue OF an unconscious person col
lapses into the throat and unless 1t
is kept out OF the way. no amount of
artificial respiration Will do any good.
Last night Dr. Davis spoke Of first
aid to the injured at the Railroad Y.
M. c.. A. This morning he will take
his car to Newport News. The car is
fitted up with all sorts of first aid
equipment, and one-half Is used rs a
lecture-room, and the other half for
living quarters. 1t Is sent by the Red
Cross Society ali over the country for
educational purposes.

The NEWs-LUlKART Curry
county baby show held at LUX

Saturday afternoon was the
greatest success Of anything Of
the kind ever attempted in
Clovis.
1t is estimated that between
one hundred and two hundred
children visited the store be-
tween the hours of two and five
p. m. and that from sixty to
seventy FIVE baties participated
in the contest.
Claude Chilean, a three
months old babe, whose parents
reside on a claim near Claud,
won first prize and Edna Spade,
the 13 months old child Of Mr..

won second prize.

say that the judges made no
mistake in their decision.
