Evolving a
 Sisterhood
 of Woman

People talk often of the brother hood of man. It seems to me that 1928 sees a genuine sisterhood ot woman" says Mrs. Oliver Hartman prominent New York social leader and philanthropist.
 For seven years Mrs. Hartman has been chairman of the Exposition of Women's Arts and Industries, held each fall. and knows women in all walks Of life.
 There is no longer any drastic line of cleavage between the bus mess and professional woman and the home and club wolnan," she ob- serves. "Ill early American life, all women had identical interests - the home, family and church. Then some women stepped out of the home int) industry and the contrast be- tween them and the home women was marked.
 Now the women both outside and inside the home have a deep bond of sympathy.
 "Women's interests in general arc broadening. The business and pro 'cssiOnal woman nowadays is inter- ested in domcsticity and the home woman gets out into charity and club work. All have the same serious in- terest in their vocatons and ayo- cations. They are learning how 10 join forces on certain enterprises, thereby building up q genuine sister, hood of womcn."

First aid knowl- edge is particularly important at this season, the authorities feel, be. cause of the increased likelihood of accidents attending the pursuit of outdoor recreations and occupations
 Tho new standard method for res storing the breathing of an accident victim is to place the patient on hls abdomen, with one arm extended and the other bent at the elbow and the face turned out to keen the mouth and nose free from ob. struction.

With arms held straight and rigid. he then swings forward slowly, bringing the weight of his body gradually upon the pa. tlent. This movement takes two sec. onds. Then he immediately swings backward, removing the pressure entirely for about two seconds, after which he swings forward again, and back, repeating the pressure F to 15 times a minute. until natural breathing has been definitely restored or the victim haa been pronounced dead by q physis elan.
