SCOUT USES HIS FIRST AID

While engaged In playing football
on the common near the Homewood
Presbyterian church, Pittsburgh, a
small boy named Joseph Dunlap, was
thrown fOrcibly against broken bot
tie, the contact severing an artery Id
his ankle. Twelve-year-old Randolph
l.. Martin, a tenderfoOt scout who as
pires soon to be in secOnd-class ranks,
was happily on the spot. 1t was only
a few days before that he had quail
fed in his first aid test, but he knew
his job. Rapidly he made a tourniquet
out of his suspender and applied 1t ac-
curately, closing the artery which had
been bleeding so prOfusely. The i'll
jured lad would soon have bled to
stretcher was imprOvised from some
of the other boys coats, under young
Martins direction, and the victim car
ried to the office of the nearest ply
sician. DR.. G. ]. YOrty. On examining
the treatment Doctor YOrty was
amazed to learn that twelve-year-old
boy could perform so grave task so
perfectly. He sat down at once and
wrote letter to- scout headquarters
detailing the incident and emphasizing
his admiration for u movement which
could give boys such training.
The action of Scout Martin Is said
to have given scouting tremendous
boost locally, particularly among the
parents Of boys. The hero of the in
cident is member of Troop 63 of the
Second Pittsburgh district in charge of
Scoutmaster X. f. Baker, who takes
special pride In his troops first-aid
proficiency.

Probably Jenkins Is Ready to Admit
That Glue Had Remarkably Good
Sticking Qualities.

jenkins, who had gone TO the shop
that sold everything to make few
purchases. happened to notice a SOW
ereign lying on the fioor-a whole,
round, golden eagle.
Quivering with excitement and
glanclng cautiously round to see that
no one was watching him, he dropped
quite accidentally, of course-one Of
his gloves on top of the coin. Then,
bending, he proceeded to pick up his
glove; but the coin did not accompany
1t. 1t remained where 1t was-upon
the floor He made second attempt
to get hold of it, but with the same
result.
AS he was contemplating the wis
dom OF third endeavor, a shopwalker
approached him and said: Good eve-
ming, sir! May be allowed to show
you bottle Of our famous liquid glue?
AS, no doubt, you are aware. its stick
