Saving. the
Drowning
By Brice Beldsn, NJ. D.

IT HERE is nothing in the popular
notion that drowning per-
son must rise to the surface
three times before Anal sub
mergenee. lie may never come to
the surface after the first sinking,
or he may appear several times.
Two minutes submergence usu-
ally causes death. There is no
reason, however. why efforts TO
resuscitate apparently drowned
persons should be given up. for
even after fVe minutes Submersion
lives have been saved by persist
ent treatment
Hysterical fear plays a very i'm
portant part in most drownings.
Whether the victim is unable to
swim at all or is a novice or is a
good swimmer who has become ia
tigued and lost his nerve. panic
usually figures in the tragedy.
II not so far gone as to be I'M
able to swallow a rescued person
should be given hot coffee. Wrap
the patient in blankets and use hot
water bottles, wrapped in towels,
so as not to burn him.
Clear the mucus from the nose
and mouth. loosen the clothing and
lay the patient on his stomach, with
the head lower than the body, so
that the water can pass out of the
windpipe, lungs and stomach by
gravity. Then apply artificial res
piration by Skaters method. which
is the best.
In applying this method not only
does the water pass out by gravity
but the tongue falls forward and
therefore does not have TO be held.
Place a folded coat or blanket under
the chest and turn the face TO one
side. Place the arms above the
head so as to favor expansion Of the
chest. This also keeps the arms
out of the way while the operator is
manipulating the chest.
Now kneel astride the patient and
grasp the lower part of the chest
with both hands, the fingers being
parallel with the lower ribs
Squeeze firmly inward and upward
while counting one, two, three
slowly, then suddenly relax the pres
sure. All depends upon this sudden
relaxation. Success is indicated by
q gasp. Repeat until resuscitation
Is complete.

8aInlRE to cookery and the home.l
r HOUSEWIVES who have left the
city and taken an unpreten-
tious little cottage in the
country or at the shore for the
heated season are often at a loss to
know just how TO get along without
the fresh meat Of the city butcher
shop. Often too, the fresh meat OBJ
-tzinable in remote sections may
come from unhealthy creatures or
,jf may be killed so recently as to be
tough and almost inedible.
The old standby in the country
Is ham or chicken and the woman
who knows how will be able to
prepare these in such a variety of
ways that her family will not tire
OF them.
Who can think OF anything more
tempting than a delicious slice OF
stesming hot ham and a generous
forkful OF cool green garden cab
5age accompanied by a shy brown
potato? Yet, many women do not
know how 10 cook a ham so a. TO
get the best in it. Here is a good
recipe for
BOILED HAM.
Scrape and scrub a ham thor
oughly. Soak il several hours over
night. Next morning put the ham
in the cook pos, cover il with cold
water and bring il slowly 70 the
boiling point. Boil about ten min
utes. Skim and reduce the heat so
that the ham SINNERS for several
hours. Roughly estimated. a ham
should take about half an hour for
each pound OF its weight A ten
pound ham should simmer about
five hours.
When tender, set aside and let the
ham cool in the liquid for an hour
or so, then remove, draw off the
skin. brush over with yolk Of egg
diluted with little milk. Sprinkle
with sugar and cracker or bread
crumbs mixed together, and set in
the oven to brown. Serve hot or
cold
Almost all country places have
sweet cider. II you can obtain
some cider try this:
HAM BAKED WITH CIDER
Make ready the ham as if for
boiling. Spread over il Thick
paste Of -four and water completely
sencasing IL. Place on a rack in the
pan in a hot oven. When the Hastr
Is cooked reduce the heat and bake
about FIVE hours When the ham
has been cooking over three hours
make a small hole in the paste and
pour in a cup Of hot cider. In
France champagne or fat white
vine Is used. Repeat q couple Of
times If necessary. When tender
remove skin. Brush over with yolk
Of egg as before. sprinkle with
sugar and crumbs and bake until a
golden brown For variety stick
several cloves into the ham at
regular intervals before placing il
in the oven q second time
OFTEN only an old hen is available
from the barnysrd. Prepare il and
cover with boiling water. to which
a quarter Of a cup Of vinegar has
been added. Cover and simmer for
several hours, allowing about half
an hour for each pound Of weight
Never allow the fowl TO come To q
boil during these hours OF simmer
ing. Long, slow cooking at q tenn

owners was disclosed at the directors
meeting of the National Automobile Deal
ers association in Denver October IA
by George D. McCutcheon of Atlanta,
southeastern director for the association.
He called attention to the fact that in
both North and Souh Carolina there is
law providing that whever an automo-
bile Injuries a pedestrian or other per-
son by collision or otherwise the person
so injured may institute a suit for the
forfeiture of the vehicle
This law has been taken advantage of
very curiously. The courts have ruled
that anyone driving an automobile with
the owners consent stands in the same
feldtlon before the law as the owner.
I nder this Interpretation chauffeurs take
out expensive. high-powered automobiles
and having previously conspired with
INSCRIPTIONS persons have accidents in
which pedestrians are run over and in
cured though seldom seriously. Instead
OF buying an automobile stealing il.
the prospect in North and South
Carolina is now going out, spotting the
car he wants and permitting il to run
into him.
So serious has this situation become
and SO dangerous to the automobile own
er that the National Automobile Dealers
association passed a resolution denounc-
Ing the law and pledged its support to
the newly formed bi-state trade asso-
ciation in the Carolnas that when the
legislatures next meet the national as

local dealers to obtain the repeal of these
statutes.

The English seem to take particularly
to the Columbia because while in ap-
