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 men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and lntelligently when
emergencies demand 1t. First Aid
treatment ia not Intended to take the
place Of physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
a precautionary measure where there
Is an injury of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean fatality. In
such q case person trained In First
Aid is invaluable not only to the in.
dividual, but through him to the COM
munity in which he lives.
There IL 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. It In safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation Of First Aid methods to each
case would immeasurably tighten the
country's toll of suffering and death.

First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and in

Trespsssers Fired Upon.

We learned this afternoon that OPP
position has developed to the proposal
to cut the spur levee mt the Gold Point
plantation, SOME claiming that such
action would result In too serious dam
age to nearby property. Also. it seems
that for some nights past there have
been guards on the levee at that point
to prevent any effort to cnt the same
that might be made. Tuesday night.
according to report. an effort was made
to cut the spur, and again last night.
Those on guard last night were Messrs.
w. B. Wilbourn and N. M. Belcher,
having large cultivated acreage in
the vicinity, and when they saw others
approaching. presuning their intent.
challenged them. Later shots were ex-
changed, both parties firing several
times. but no one is known to have
been hit.
It is thought that the intruders were
from CaddO Parish, Us considerable
caving at treacherous point on that
side of the river might be prevented by
cutting the Gold Point spur levee.
Their intent was learned through the
discovery Of All ak and quantity OF
dynamite left behind as they made
their hasty departure.
