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 a broken bot
tie, the contact severing an artery In
his ankle. Twelve-year-old Randolph
L. Martin, a, tenderfoot scout who as.
plres soon to be in second-class ranks,
was happily on the spot. 1t was only
a few days before that he had quail
fled in his first aid test, but he knew
his jOb. Rapidly he made a tourniquet
out of his suspender and applied it &C
curately, closing the artery which had
been bleeding SO profusely. The IN
jured lad would soon have bled to
death without instant treatment. A
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. J. Yorty. On examining
the treatment Doctor Yorty was
amazed to learn that a twelve-yearO old
boy could perform so grave task so
perfectly. He sat down at once and
wrote q letter to scout headquarters
detailing the incident and emphasizing
his admiration for movement which
could give boys such training.
The action of Scout Martin is said
to have given scouting a tremendous
boost locally, particularly among the
parents of boys. The hero of the in
cident is a member Of Troop 63 Of the
Second Pittsburgh district in charge of
Scoutmaster r. E. Baker, who takes
special pride in his troops first-aid
proficiency. -"
