YOu Can Learn About Families from Them
By Elsie Robinson

r WATCHED my Hebrew friends
coming home from their
outing on Labor Lay.
They poured through the New
York Penn station by the thou
unto the third and the fourth
generations. 1t had been a large,
hot day and they were tired,
sticky and uncomfortable. Yet
they were curiously friendly with
each other and patient with their
children.
The children were acting up, as
children always act up at the
end Of day like that, regardless
of nationality. But Poppa and
Momma took it all as a matter
OF course. In fact, they seemed
actually complacent about it. The
more babies whimpered and
tugs ed and squawIed and sulked
at their heels, the more Poppa
and Momma beamed and nodded
with proud understanding to their
equally encountered friends. AS.
though they said:
Yes, of course, 1t is a hot
Gay. ANA maybe we are not all
So crazy about each other Is
when we started out this morn
ing. But what of it? We are a
Family. 1t does not matter
whether we are crazy about each
other or not. 1t does not matter
whether babies squawl or not.
Families must be. Babies must
be. And people who are in
Families cannot let themselves
act like people who are not in
Families. They must remember
they are Momma and Poppa.
They just remember they are a
Family. And the Family must
stick together, and go on and
grow--FOR HOW CAN THE
PEOPLE LAST IF THE
FAMILY DOES NOT GROW?
My Hebrew friends poured
through the station by the thou
sands. they and their children,
unto the third and fourth genera
tions. And above the squawls Of
the babies, and the thud OF the
tired, flat feet, those words
seemed TO rise in a triumphant
marching chorus.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-Rv DR.. Brice Belden-

VoU cannot have too profound
i a sense of gratitude to the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice for the protection 1t is af-
fording you and all the people in
ascertaining and disseminating
knowledge for your and their pro-
lection. This is shown in late
bulletin relating to first aid to
the injured-that is to say what
may and should be done either
by you or for you before the ar
rival of the physician.
The Importance of this advice
is shown by a few suggestive
figures. Thus over $4,000 persons
are killed in the United States
each year by traffic accidents
that is, by automobiles, railroad,
street car accidents, etc; over
$4,000 by falls, more than 5000
each by burns and drowning, and
more than 81 900 by other acct
dental means, or total of more
than $4,000 persons killed and
over two million additional
seriously injured by accidents in
the United States each year, the
importance Of first-aid care is at
once obvious. The above does
not include the minor injuries for
which there are no statistics at
the present time.
Here are a few hints of ex-
treme value:
Do not contaminate an open
wound by washing or otherwise
meddling with it. Remember that
nature has washed it from within
outward by a sterile fluid, the
blood. and then by CLOTHING the
blood has sealed it. You can't
improve on that situation. All
you may do under ordinary cir
cumstances Is to put on COM
press of sterile gauze and hold
1t on with a tight bandaSe.
A triangular bandage has been
found very suitable for this pur-
pose, as it can be adapted to cover
any part of the body. The triangu-
lar bandage is used either in the
open form or folded cravat. In adj
dition to being used to protect the
other dressings it may be used as
an imprOvised tourniquet and to
hold splints in place. A triangular
bandage may be made from any
kind Of cloth such as a handker-
chief, piece of shirt, or napkin. 1t
has been found, however, thai a
piece of muslin 40 inches square,
folded diagonally and cut across
the long side, making two triangu-
lar bandages, is most satisfactory.
DO not ignore persistent hem
orrhage. This can often be con-
troled by direct pressure, but 1t
is generally best to apply tour.
niquet Immediately, between the
wound and the heart. Bleeding
from a vein can usually be stopped
by simply pressing pad of sterile
gauze over the wound and then
elevating the part, having the pa
tient lie down. Anything that
makes the heart beat faster in
creases hemorrha2e; hence i'll all
cases of severe bleeding the pa
tient should be kept III a recum,
bent or semirecumbent position.
and as quiet as possible.
Do not fail to practice artlflcl,
respiration in case of electric
shock, apparent drowning, and
poisoning by gases, as by carnon
monoxide gas or illuminating gas.
Turn the patient front down with
the face to one side and con-
press the short ribs forciblN and
rhythmically at intervals OF about
three seconds.
