FIRST AID TO HEAT VICTIMS

With the return of hot and humid weather it is
important to know how to give first aid victims of
the torrid There two distinct kinds of hot
treatment They may, for convenience be called heat
stroke and sunstroke, and the latter is often
carelessly applied to of the former Heatstroke
may come indoors, a cloudy day, or at night The
attack is usually very sudden; the patient may fall
unconscious or there may be nausea derium. The
skin is flushed and hot and the breath in gasps
The pulse may be either feeble bounding The first
thing do place the sufferer in cold bath add
ing ice from time to time The hands and feet must
be rubbed constantly to prevent internal congestion
Should bathtub be available, the water may be
poured from pitcher. garden hose used. When
the temperature is nearly patient is to be
put to bed
True sunstroke is what may happen to a ball
player roofer to a person walking on the
sunny side of the street. and is always by the
direct rays of the probably by the ultra-vo
rays. The skin is moist and perhaps quite cool There
is little no fever fact the temperature is
times below normal while in heatstroke it has been
known to reach 116 degrees A racking headache is
likely: there may be commissions and insensib-
ity. The victim should be laid in cool place, indoors
out and blankets after loosening the
clothing Hot bottles to be applied to the feet
mustard plaster the stomach, and ammonia or
brandy and water administered.
But although heatstroke and sunstroke are so
different in their symptoms and the of treat
ment, they alike in being very serious and
commonly fatal that these directions to the lay
man only for first aid and the requires the
services of physician the arrival of hospital
buance as speedily may be.

THE LOGIC OF OUR REPLY TO AUSTRIA.

What spokesmen of the administration have al
ready told individuals in this country in justification
of the export munitions the United States govern
ment tells Austria Hungary in reply to the demand
for an embargo For Americans the strongest point
in the American note is it points out that the
policy of restricting trade in and military sup
plies would be fatal handicap to this country if
itself had to go to This government, Secre-
tary Lansing says in time peace maintain
large military establishment military stores suf
hcent to repel invasion by a we'll equipped and
powerful enemy. 1t has always depended upon its
right and power to purchase war munitions from
neutral nations in it should be attacked Conse
quently the United States would be seriously en-
barrassed if it had denied others a right which It
had consistently claimed for itself
The policy asked for by Austria would also foster
mltarsm in this country and everywhere else If
all nations stop selling munitions to belliger-
ents they would be compelled to have in readiness at
all times sufficient munitions to meet any emergency
and maintain great establishments for their
facture This would be turning every nation into an
armed camp.
Austra-Hungary and her ally Germany, are also
reminded that each of them particularly the latter.
during the years preceding the present European
produced great surplus of and ammunition
which they sold throughout the world and especially
70 belligerents during that period did either
OF them suggest apply the principle advocated
b. the imperial and royal government. During the
Boer Germany sold to Great Britain hundreds of
thousands of kilos of explosives gunpowder,
cartridges, shot and Weapons and it is known that
Austria Hungary also sold similar munitions to the
same purchaser. What is demanded of the United
States by the Teutonc allies would impose upon
neutral nation duty to sit in judgment the
progress of and to restrict its commercial inter
course with belligerent whose naval successes pre-
vented the neutral from trade with the enemy" And
It be asked if trade in munitions, why not also
in food and clothing? The logic of the Washington
note is clear and irrefutabe.

Where a Tailor Copies a Suit, Even to n
Patch.
In India tailoring is not a trade or
calling, but an art. There the tailor
goes from house to house, takes your
order and your measurements, sits
down in front of your door, unfolds
a blanket filled with pockets In which
he keeps his tools and paraphernalia
and squatting cross-legged, begins his
labors. He does not so much create
a new garment as reproduce an old
one. He carefully examines the old
garment that he has requested from
you as a pattern. and then If you
are as ignorant as 1 was, he will so
faithfully reproduce the model that
even an old mended rent or darned
place will show on the new garment.
Finding fault afterward is futile. The
tailor will merely point to the old
garment as sufficient justification.
But you should have told him that
you wanted it all new and pointed out
what to avoid my friends told me.
With this in mind | afterward found
the Indian tailor the most conscien-
tious workman l had ever come
across.

news, ii calls attention to the needs
of the work of the school so that
the school may become more eff
cient
"In several cities. as Fredonia,
Kan, there is an educational issue
of the local paper In some other
cities there are daily school news
notes. On the whole. the public is
becoming better informed regarding
the schools than it was a few years
ago. The tendencv is toward greater.
publicity by means of printed reports
and newspaper articles.
THAT the schools can work to ad-
vantage through women's civic i'm
provement clubs and through parent
teacher associations has been thor
oughly demonstrated in many of the
smaller cities. Such clubs are often
instrumental in the introduction OF
kindergartens, manual training and
domestic science. The superintendent
of one school utilized the womens
clubs of the city by asking that each
club give some consideration to the
question, What can be done to i'm
prove the efficiency of your. schools9'
Each club discussed the question AMI
sent a representative TO present ~
the teachers the ideas of the club. In
the opinion of the superintendent of
schools in that city, the plan aroused
interest among the women of the city

OLD GLORY VANISHING FROM THE PACIFIC.

The disbanding of its feet removes the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company from the trans Pacific trade
and leaves solitary steamer to fly the American
flag the Pacific ocean the Minnesota, owned by
the Great Northern Steamship Company, of Seattle.
This is the result of the LaFollette law going into
effect next November, which prevents the employ
ment of Oriental crews American vessels. Chi
nese, Japanese and Lascar sailors constitute the
greater part of all crews the Pacific, and ships
manned by Americans at American wages will not be
able to stand the competition with the Japanese
owned lines. Robert Dollar, who has already trans
ferred two steamers to the British flag, will do the
with his only remaining American vessel be-
fore the law goes into effect, and by March he
will hayetehanged his home port to Vancouver.

Publicity for School Needs

Frank publicity in securing the CO.
operation of the community in the
work of the schools is urged by w.
$. Deffenbaugh, of the United States
Bureau of Education, in a report on
School Progress in the Smaller
Cities" just issued.
School boards that are managing
the schools ably and honestly do not
fear TO turn on the searchlight.' de-
clares Mr.. Deffenbaugh. THE senti-
ment is growing among school boards
that the public should know how its
money is expended In the most pro-
gressive schools the board and the
superintendent are presenting facts
to the people either in printed re-
ports in newspaper articles, or by
both.
Some schoolmen, however object
to furnishing the newspapers with
school information on the ground
that they are thereby advertising
themselves. A superintendent who
was complaining about lack of in
terest among the parents in the
schools of his city was asked whether
he reported the progress of the
schools through the local papers. He
replied that he did not believe in ad-
vertsing himself. He failed to grasp
the idea that school news is not for
the purpose of boosting a superin-
tendent; besides being legitimate

THE TRAINING OF NINErY-EIGHT.

Veterans of the ansh-American think they
have been overlooked by General Miles and others,
who declare that the United States, in the event of
invasion would not have officers enough to
and control a volunteer army. There nearly
250 900 of these veterans of 1898 and of them,
a former officer of the Delaware National Guard,
points out that here are quarter of million men
who we're in the field in camp from six months to
year. large numbers of whom received training suf-
hcient to enable them to fill capably the commands
or sub-commands of companies. Hundreds of them
came away fully competent to receive commissions
captains or lieutenants in the regular army, and
many of them were commissioned
