What Magee'S Case Means

Out in the great open spaces Of New
" Mexico. the intrepid Editor Carl
Magee Of Albuquerque and the two
gun judge, Leahy, Of Las Vegas. have
tangled again.
For couple of years these two men
have struggled Magee seeks to uphold
the right of free speech and free press
and TO keep the constitutional bill Of
rights invioate. Leahy seeks to uphold
the absolute supremacy OF his court
and to keep inviolate his personal and
judicial sensibilties.
Magee claims that contempt Of court
in the legal sense cannot be committed
Mt range of 70 miles. Contempt Of
court proceedings were invented to pro-
tect courts against interruption or
interference with their proceedings.
Only misbehavior actually in the pres
ence of the judge and in open court
constituted contempt. Centuries ago,
contempt process gave the judge a
power as great as that Of the king him
self. But 1t could be exercised only in
the service of justice and Of the court
as a court.
Nowadays some judges are develop

$4,000 IN LIFE SAVING
SERVICE OF RED CROSS
Additional $4,000 Water Safety
Experts Probable Gain of
Summer Campaign.

A boy watched an expert give a
class a lesson in the way to revive a
person unconscious from water inn
raersi IN. The next day the boy tried
it on bathing companion and saved
his life. Such boy justifies all the
effort and the cost of the Life-Saying
Service, American Red Cross officials
declare. The Red Cross method of
restoring partly drowned persons is so
simple that the continual large sacri-
flee of life must decrease as an in
formed public insists upon general in
struction in prone pressure practice
to induce respiration.
The Red Cross Life-Saving Service
in every part of the country, summer
and winter, is engaged in teaching
this method as an integral part of
swimming and life-saving. This SER
vice has grown from single expert
in 1914 to a corps of almost $4,000 ac-
tive life-savers. In this tenth year Of
the work it is predicted that fully
$4,000 more experts will be eligible
for membership in the corps. This
large accession in a single year is
confidently expected as the result of
the campaign among $4,000 troops Of
Boy Scouts under plan to qualify
at least two life-guards in each troop.
During the past year 4,746 men,
3,374 women, 1871 boys and girls sue
cessfully passed the rigid tests of the
Red Cross-an increase Of 5,331 over
1923. Intensive instruction is develop
ing hundreds OF qualified examiners
for the Red Cross Life-Saving Corps,
who supplement the teaching staff
maintained by the national organiza-
ton. The cause of water safety is
therefore penetrating to new sections
and eventually will cover all Ameri-
can territory.
Recognition of this Red Cross SER
vice for humanity is growing apace.
At the request of the War Department
every military training camp had life
saving instruction last summer Mu-
inequalities have adopted the Red
Cross course, public and private
schools are offering tit students,
uSIu6SS, ClNlC anu dlulOtiC VI
tions are promoting campaigns, and
police departments are making it
part Of the conditioning process for
their recruits.
Volunteer life-savers throughout the
country, the American Red Cross re-
ports, are eagerly advancing the cause
of water safety, 3SS volunteers receiy-
ing medals for giving from 200 to 800
hours service in two or three years.
In addition Sc rescue bars to medals
were awarded members of the Red
Cross Corps who saved one or more
lives during the year.
It is for the work and extension OF
life-saving that continued support
through memberships is sought, and
the American Red Cross urges all per-
sons to join or renew membership
during the enrolment campaign open
ing Armistice Day, November IL.

REQ CROSS IS URGING
BETTER HEALTH BATTLE
Tireless in Services Advancing
Cause of Freedom from
Human Suffering.

Not alone in preparedness for emer-
gencies. but in a tireless offensive
battle for better health is the Ameri
can Red Cross nurse maintaining in
peace time the high tradition of her
war service. AS in war, the same
self-effacing service for humanity
goes on its quiet. effective way con-
tent in its accomplishments, seeking
no public acclaim Enrolled in the
Red Cross Nursing Service are 40,636
Of these missioners of health, nearly
1000 carrying the message of a finer
public health to as many communi.
ties and LOO teaching large classes in
home hygiene and care of the sick.
Exactly 100 Red Cross nurses are still
on duty overseas, helping the struggle
forward toward the high standard OF
American nurse efficiency in many
countries.
In the Government services 3,117 en-
rolled Red Cross nurses are on duty
with the Army, Navy. Public Health
Service and the Veterans Bureau.
while the entire active enrolment is
maintained as reserve for the Army
Nurse Corps and available to the
Navy in national defense emergency.
Nine hundred nurses were added to
the roll the last year.
Red Cross nursing, however, has
perhaps its finest expression out in
the places laid waste by fire. food and
storm. and in the back reaches far
from the centers of population. In ev.
cry disaster the Red Cross nurse Is
first called for, first to respond. and
the last to leave her post Of duty
among the suffering victims. In the
isolated sections of Alaska. North
Carolina Virginia. Idaho. and among
the bleak Islands of Penobscott Bay.
Me-. her illustrations are making
hard lives easier and working for
brighter future for the children. Her
part in the human drama of the time
is increasingly important. although 1t
is subdued by the very nature of her
work
The policy of the American Red
Cross to establish under Chapter con
troll public health nursing services in
communities lacking such facilities has
been justified and this pioneering work
is everywhere endorsed by authori
ties who are quick to take it over as
a proper municipal function and a duty
of taxpayers. The Home Hygiene and
Care Of the Sick program has further
penetrated into the schools as def.
mite part of currieulums During the
year 10000 school pupils took this
Red Cross course. Three telephone
corporations adopted it and graduated
$50 employe students.
As good health depends upon right
eating the Red Cross Nutrition Ser
vice continued to promote individual
and community health particularly the
health Of mothers and children. TIL
service reached nearly 150 900 persons
during the year and found work to do
for several thousand Red Cross volun-
teer workers.
