100000 FIRST-AlD EXPERTS
TRAINED BY RED CROSS
By GEORGE MARTIN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. J
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The Am
erican Red Cross has developed and
trained nearly 100000 first aid ex-
perts in the last six months, it was
learned today.
They are all men, and all available
for war service if needed. The course
of instruction, which is in the hands
of 1000 Red Cross physicians and
surgeons throughout the country, al
so is open to women.
Nearly hundred thousand rail-
road men, half as many lumbermen
and as many quarrymen have re-
ceived instruction in first aid this
year
This work covers the stoppage Of
hemorrhages, resuscitating following
drowning or gas asphyxiation, the
carrying of injured persons and
many other phases of first aid, es-
pecially in the hazardous industries
The course covers ten lectures, sup
plemented by the requisite practical
work at the conclusion of which cer..
tificates are issued to those complet-
ing the course satisfactorily.
The Red Cross has two "first-aid"
cars for the instruction of railroad
men, one of which has just finished
a tour of three months giving instruc-
ton to the railroad men.
Through these courses the first aid
division of the Red Cross is build
ing up reserve of trained men
available not only for Red Cross SER
vice, but also for sanitary training
detachments to provide sanitary re-
serve for the army and navy.

Most of the younger officers applied
