 q minute or two as though badly in
 Scouts, Holbrooke Yorke, Allan Rose
 and Russell Hinman, who happened to
 be near rushed to the boys assistance
 and found him in such a bad way,
 that they immediately signalled for help, using the international Morse
 code signal, s. o. s. Two other local Boy Scouts, Jerome Piche and How ard Knight, who were near the Y. NJ. C.

The latter Scouts had the proper ap- plia1ces for fixing up the injured boy and immediately put on a bandage and splint for a broken hip and then proceeded to fix up the young man 8 head with a complete head bandage. In the meantime the crowd was held back by J. F. Twomey, so as to give the injured boy plenty of air and also to leave plenty of room for the scouts to do their first aid operations in a com petent manner, which they proceeded to do.

Rose. that the whole pro- E ceeding was nothing more than first E aid demonstration by members of the local boy scout organization to show the public just how efficient the boy E | scouts had become in this line o1 | work Some of the crowd were fooled by the affair for the time be E ing and one man in particular who had been indulging during the after. noon, was terribly anxious over tn, fate of the injured boy.
