~---ss.------- With the Gather Printing Company

A H. Gather, of the Gather Printing Company. is proprietor of concern that is growing rapidly. Mir. Gather has about all the business he can at tend to, but is preparing to expand so he can take care of all that is of fered him.
 MT. Gather says he wants to express his thanks to his patrons for thefway they are helping him during the paper shortage. He says that buyers are very considerate toward Birmingham printers.
 We are doing the best we can to take care of our patrons during the unsettled conditions. It is fact that the paper mills are several months behind with their orders and the man ner In which they are taking care of their customers is a feat worthy of particular notice. There are some grades of paper that have been taken orr the market altogether, making 1t impossible to duplicate some jobs. but the intelligent buyer of printing readily understands that it is not the tault of the local printer.
 But paper is not the only item tildt mas worried the local printer for several months. as labor conditions nave been big factor in the increase III cost or printing. The printers i ia ess,,ieh tbli ana binders have been loyal ~ ~ their employers and have stood bv them Tn these trying times.

Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross

was largely Instrumental in the re-es
Establishment Of a million refugees at a
cost for general relief Of more than
100000 Last winter one-half mil

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds Of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose Of instruction IN First
Aid TO the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross is to train mel and
women to administer First Aid treat.
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand 1t. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place of a physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
d precautionary measure where there
is an injury Of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured a few min
utes' delay may mean a fatality. In
such a case q person trained in First
Aid Is invaluable not only to the In
dlvidual, but through him to the com
munity In which he lives.
There is perhaps no way Of ascer
tanning the number of deaths or seri
Gus dIsablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t is safe to as.
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be NJ doubt that the appli.
cation Of First Aid methods to each
ease would Immeasurably tighten the
country's toll Of suffering and death.
The dissemination of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro
duced a farreaChing and beneficial in.
huence In the prevention of accidents
oil railroads, in mines and in great in.
dustrial concerns.
The benefit Of o widespread know!-
edge of First Aid in the event of a
great disaster, such as q train wreck.
an explosion. an earthquake, ETC., is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
~sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
a. the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, of classes for in.
structiOn In accident prevention and
First Aid TO the injured among men
and women In all communities and in
every industry; (2) the introduction Of
courses OF instruction In high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea.
sonable prices.
Every person IN this country able to
do so should, in his own interest, re.
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction
Information about the course and in.
struction classes ma be had at the
nearest CHAPTER HEADQUARTERS.
