KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO GIVE
FIRST AID HELD ESSENTIAL
Effective Treatments Outlined for Use in
Case of Mishaps While on
Automobile Tours.

Drowning Remove all foreign sub
stances from the mouth; pull the
tongue forward to allow breathing:
place or hold the body face downward
with the lungs above the head to
allow the water to flow from the
lungs: lay the patient on a blanket
on his stomach, face turned to the
side, straddle the body at the hips and
with the arms held straight and the
hands just above the lower rib, press
with full weight straight downward
slowly and steadily; release pressure
suddenly to allow air to enter the
lungs; repeat this operation and con-
tinue it for an hour or more. Some
patients have been revived after two
hours. Upon revival. give the patient
a hot drink. wrap him in blankets and
take him to a hospital. This method
also is applicable in cases of electric
shook and gas and smoke asphyxia-
ton.

HINTS ARE GIVEN
TO VACAT|ON|STS
Preparations for Trips of
100000 900 Motorists Are
Outlined.

With 30,000,000 to 100000 per.
sons expected to use motor cars for
vacation transportation this Summer,
the matter Of preparing the automo-
bile for the touring trip has become
one of the utmost Importance. for the
condition of the car will affect vitality
the extent of the pleasure derived from
the Journey.
Suggestions applicable to all motor
car owners that will enhance the
pleasures Of their vacation motor
trips have been prepared by T. H.
Stambaugh, service promotion mana.
ger of the Odds Motor Works. He
says:
"A complete inspection of the car
should be made in advance of the trip.
All reciprocating parts should DE thor.
oughly fabricated, particularly at
those places provided by the car.
maker. Inspection and tightening, If
necessary. of body bolts, motor bolts,
spring shackles. ETC., should be done.
The motor oil should be inspected and
changed. if necessary.
Check on Leaks.
'The cooling system should be gone
over, to be sure that connecting hoses
and clamps are in good condition TO
prevent leaks. Generator should be
adjusted for proper charging rate,
battery tested for proper specific grav.
ity and filling. Lights should be TO-
cused and tires inflated in keeping
with recommendations of the manu-.
facturer. Front wheels should be
checked for proper toe-in, to guard
against unnecessary wear and the
motor should be tuned up.
Have distributor points checked
for proper contact. The braking Sys-
tenn should be examined to be sure
that the system is effective and, IL
necessary. should be refined before
starting out on the trip.
Good Tools Needed.
"The fan belt occasionally has to be
replaced and its condition should be
noted to avoid necessity Of this re.
placement while touring.
"Tire-changing tools, with the other
pieces Of equipment which are usually
a part of the car, should be complete.
If the trip is an extensive one, it is
a wise provision to include an extra
tube. Skid chains are most helpful
factor, if the trip calls for travel
over less.used, muddy sections of the
country.
IF the route Of the vacationist
takes him through the desert or into
the mountains, it is well to probide
containers filled with water and OIL"

NEED OF CARE CITED
IN REMOVING GASKET
Points to Bear in Mind Are Elk
planned, Now That Carbon-Clean.
ing Days Are Here.

With carbon-cleaning time here. 1t
is well to bear in mind a few points
with reference to handling the gasket.
The general tendency seems to be,
when removing the cylinder head, to
to rip off the gasket. Frequently a
gasket will come off without any ex.
ira prying, and in that case these sug-
gestions may be disregarded. In most
cases. however, the owner will find
that he must pry the gasket loose on
one side or the other. If he has his
| choice, it is best to take the gasket
away from the top and leave it at
tached to the cylinder block. If it
is not defaced, and the edges are not
broken in any way, it may be used
again.
The fact that it has not been re-
moved from the cylinder block is as.
surance that it will be leak-proof on
that side. When a new gasket is
installed, or when an old one is put
back after having been ripped off
altogether. there are two sides to be
considered. and always two possibili-
| ties Of leakage.

Touring, like any other human
activity. has its occasional misfor.
tunes. Accident or illness may over
take a member of the party and
knowledge of what to do under the
circumstances is decidedly efficacious
in relieving pain and aiding an early
recovery.
Thus, it is the part of wisdom for
the potential tourist to know the ele-
ments of the various forms of first
aid which he may be called upon to
administer. The following suggestions
should be helpful:
Dog Bite or Snake Bite.-Apply a
tourniquet; suck or squeeze the poison
from the wound. enlarging it with a
knife If necessary; apply a caustic,
such as carbolic acid, wool ashes or
tincture of iodine; wash with hot
water: pack with a mixture of baking
soda and salt. then bandage carefully.
If no caustic is available, burn out the
wound with hot wire instead.

Motor Campers Tip
List Offers Cures
For Potential Ills

Here are some hints which
motor campers and tourists
would do wNii to remember:
Motor campers always should
be supplied with a preparation
to keep mosquitoes away.
On a misty day sliced onion
rubbed over the automobile
windshield will keep 1t clear.
Pure vinegar makes an excel
lent cleaner for cellulOid win
dows i'm the curtains of the car.
A bucketful of hot stones
placed in an inverted position in
the tent at night will effectually
heat the interior.
Campers should be careful
about throwing away lighted
matches, cigarettes and cigars.
These cause many forest fires.
III fruit jar Is difficult to
open, the camper will find that
this difficulty may be overcome
If hot stone is placed on top
of the jar for few moments.
A few pebbles heated i'm a fry
ing pan and then placed inside
damp shoes are excellent for
drying them out.
Shoes which have become har.
dencd by water easily may be
sOftened by the application of
kerosene.

LISTS SUPPLIES NEEDED
WHEN ONE GOES TOURING
Old Book on Auto Care Enumerates
Many Articles Which Modern
Motorists Ignore.

In an old edition of a book on
automobile care the list Of supplies
which should be carried in a car that
goes a-touring includes 80 different
articles, not counting the quantities
OF those articles. These do not in
clude the conventional tool-kit ar
ticles. such as wrenches, screwdrivers.
jacks and tire-changing equipment.
1t is somewhat startling to record
that the average motorist NOWADAYS
carries just four of the articles listed.
namely, spare headlight bulbs, spare
park plugs. oil can and a search or
trouble light. Many of them do not
even carry these.
Among the articles that are no
longer deemed necessary as emer-
gency equipment are spark plug ter.

Tourist Should Put
House in Order on
Eve Of Summer Trip

Before leaving home throw
of the master switch through
which the electricity supplying
the house passes. In this way
one can be certain that no
lights are left burning and the
danger of fire from crossed or
exposed wires is eliminated.
1t is always advisable before
starting on tour to turn off
both the water and gas supply
in the home. Should the family
have pets. be sure provisions are
made for their maintenance dur
ing your absence.
Notify the milkman and news
boy before leaving on the motor
tour. 1t will save chagrin later.
Adequate provision should be
made for mail which comes i'm
the tourists absence. Make ar
rangements with the neighbors
or with the Post Office Depart
ment.

minals. calcium carbide, coil unit.
gaskets. cotter pins, candle wicking.
valves, valve springs. valve grinding
compound. funnel and measure. col
lapsible water pail, gasoline emer-
gency tank and electric cable.
A few OF the "old-fashioned" things
in the repair kit Of yesteryear could
be carried in new cars today to great
advantage. Just one of these ar.
ticles, the spare fan belt. still should
have prominent place. Wire, tire
tape and a small box Of assorted bolts.
nuts and pins may come in handy.
The wise motorist still carries such
things.

Broken Leg or Arm.-Pull un
til the broken ends come together
fasten to the arm or leg two spllnts
to keep the bones in place. These
should be well padded with grass, cot.
ton, excelsior. to keep the flesh from
being pressed against the broken ends
of the bones. Get injured person to a
physician as soon as possible.

Gather Enough Wood.

Campers, in gathering wood for the
fire, always should pick up enough
with which to prepare breakfast while
foraging for the evening fire. Many
districts have heavy dew falls and
there always is the possibility that a
rain may come up during the night
making the campers work so much
more difficult

Raincoat Is Handy.

Among the articles Of clothing
which the tourist would do well to
take with him is a raincoat. Pro-
vision also should be made fol-
changes in the weather, especially II

often has been known to snow In
August in many Western States.

Sugar Is Good as Food.

II the camping party ever is placed
in a position where there are nc
means of obtaining food for a time
remember that sugar Is an excellent
energy food. Sweet chocolate also
is to be recommended in this con-
nection.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-07-10

Brakes should be tested daily by
car owners, and if anything is found
wrong with them they should be ad-
1usted before further using the car.
