SCOUTS FIRST AID SAVES LIFE.

The first aid help given by hoy
scout at the time of the injury prob
ably saved the life Of Ernest Whipple
of Leona, Ore, whose arm was severed
by a cutoff saw at lumber mill. The
boy was Howard Lea, an employee OF
the mill. and when other men left the
victim helpless because of their igno-
rance of the care that should be given,
young Lea bound the wound after the
method taught all members of the boy
scout organization, and the resultant
stopping of the flow of blood Is be-
lieved to have saved the young mans
life.
