der w. w. MUSTANG
Proves Success.

In the selection from among the VOL
unteers who wish to serve as aides to
the Red Cross nurses, preference will
be shown to the women who have had

gone on a railroad journey that have
not found use for my knowledge of
first aid" said Professor W. w. H.
MUSTANG. who Is In charge OF the

MUSTANG Gets Special Right.
Major e. II. Cornor U. S. A.. In
charge of the American Red Cross di-
vision, has granted to Mr. MUSTANG the
special privilege Of examining and in
structing classe in first aid. although
the rule Is that only physicians in &C
tive practice are to conduct classes.
According to Mr.. MUSTANG. the prin-
cirle which rules the first aid classes
is not only what to do In emergencies.
but how to do it. Courses in first aid
are no more in order now than at
any time before. Their purpose is to
fit people for general service In peace
and in war-to prevent accidents as
