Emergency Aid in the Oil Field.

The efforts of the Government to get
coal mine lsborers interested in safety
measures has proven such a great sue
cess that the same process is being in
troduced among the workers in the oil
industry. First-aid teams were organ
lied among the coal workers, and by
the means of contests a great interest
was aroused among the workers so that
every mining center in Pennsylvania
and other mining localities had their
first-aid squads properly organized and
equipped for any kind Of services they
would be called upon to perform. The
system is now being extended to the oil
fields of Indiana, where there are thou
sands Of persons engaged in the prepa-
ration of oil and gas for consumption.
The value Of the training was dem
onstrated recently in Colorado, where
a workman was overcome by the fumes
from a gas we'll that he had just put
in operation. There happened to be
present workman who had taken such
instruction in another field of operation
some time before, and through his eff
forts the stricken workman was worked
over and restored to life by artificial
