FTREMEN AND LIFE GUARDS PLEASE
 TAKE NOTICE

A correspondent writes:
 Having read your article entitled "Fire-

 Ah but some equally brave life guards at Coney Island did not approve of the use Of an inhalator. quote from the newspaper story of the tragedy:
 The life guards (their names and ad-
 dresses are given) had brought man
 later identified as so and so from the surf;
 They stretched him out on the sand and
 attempted to revive him by the schaefer
 method of artificial respiration.
 So far so good. But here the tragedy comes
 from the Coney Island hospital. When he
 came down to the beach with oxygen tank
 and nhalator he was ordered to step aside
 by the life guards, he says, who shouted
 that the inhalator was dangerous
 The victim succumbed.
 Now my correspondent is confused about uable aid in any case of resuscitation. if 1t Is available.

It must not be confused with pull motors. lungmotors or so-called resusctators which are offered by manufacturers as a sub stitute for Schaefers prone pressure which any bystander even child, can apply im- mediately in any emergency with more eff- ciency in reestablishing breathing than any machine can possibly have and with less risk of injury than is associated with any kind or lung or air pump used for the purpose. The inhalator Is merely an inhatable ruDper bag to hold oxygen or better a mixture or SO or more parts of oxygen with ten or less parts | of carbon dioxide. The inhalator apparatus in. cludes a small tank of compressed oxygen ana q similar tank of compressed carbon dioxide' with a rubber face mask to fit snugly over nose and mouth so the victim will breathe the mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is the natural stmulant to breathing, and greatly contributes toward successful resusctation in any case of drown- ing or asphyxia from any cause What the New York authorities did about the ignorant, ofiicious life guards the item did not mention.
 It is high time that this spectacular vaude- vile of calling the fire department when re- suscitation is needed should be stopped, and the application of such medical or surgical measures be restored to the hands of qualified physicians
 The trouble with these ignorant off1cious ones is that If you teach them some rudiments of first aid they think they know 1t all, and they even take advantage of their little author ity to brush aside physicians in such emer- gencies-if the physicians happen to be bit too docile.

September 22, 1893. To the Editor of the Waterbury
 Democrat:
 Dear Sir:-In last nights issue of your paper you carried an open letter from one Charles Ralph Newton of New Britain in which he took me to task for a speech de- livered by me to the c. c. c. boys at Camp Roberts.
 MT Newton apparently has as- sumed the role of apologist for MT Goss. The statements made by me were taken from report or the congressman's speech delivered in Mt Carmel at the Reserve Ofh- cers association, criticisipg the C.. c. c. camps. The following are the quoted words of Congressman Goss. q have had the opportunity of inspecting some c. c. c. camps, and I am firmly of the belief that the present method of relief (the conservation corps) is an absolute failure.

The proceeds thus were 200.O00.000 francs or about $l2,10O,000 in good United States coin. What couldn't we do with that if it was ap- piled to wiping out the French debt?

"IN MEMORIAM'
(Hartford Courant)

The Providence Journal reminds us that a hundred years ago last Friday there died in Vienna pre- cociously gifted young. English man, Arthur Henry Hallam. He had been a private soldier in one of the insurgent English armies that periodically marched, counter marched and when the regulars put in an appearance, disbanded. He wrote a number of sonnets in Italian that had enough merit to be praised by the brilliant but odd Sir Anthony Panizzi of the Brit ish Museum. Hallam was but twenty-two when he died. yet he was already known as poet, and a student of Dante. But, despite his promise and his accomplish ment, the centenary of his death would have passed unnoticed, had 1t not been for his friendship for the youthful Alfred Tennyson. Seventeen years after Hallam' s death, "In Memoriam, A. H. H., Obit. MDCCCXXXIII" was pub lished anonymously. It's faults were many. It was too long, too dis jointed-and no wonder. in view of

 The principal business of the latter had been the manufacture and export of rum for which they were famed, and when tKe rum business was banned by law. the islands collapsed into virtual bank ruptcy.
 In anticipation of the repeal of prohibition President Roosevelt has instructed Secretary Ickes to start an investigation with the purpose of ascertaining whether the manu- facture of rum in the Virgin Is- lands may not be restored, to give the islanders a means of support now lacking. Distasteful as the thought may be to those who ban alcohol in all it's forms, it would saill seem better to let the islanders make a profit out of the real ar- ticle than to have bootleggers reap ing a profit out of the bathtub variety.

Edgar Bieber, Washington crack
bikeman, postponed his attempt
to lower the national 50-mile
unpaced bicycle. record around
the Potomac Park polo field to-
day until Sunday morning, due
to the stiff wind which pre-
vailed.
To satisfy large crowd which
had collected, Bieber spun around
the oval behind a motor car for
10 laps, a distance of slightly
over eight and a half miles,
in 18 minutes 27 seconds, which
established a motor-paced record
for that distance in the District.
He covered the first five miles
in 10 minutes So seconds, which
also goes on the books as an
initial record. He flashed around
the 85-100ths- mile ovel in l
minute 81 seconds on his second
lap, by far his highest speed.
He was averaging nearly 35 miles
an hour with the wind at his
back, but going against it his
speed was cut to less than 20
miles.
The wind was so strong it
caused Bieber's nose to bleed

Too Early Celebrations

We sincerely trust that this
demonstration will not serve as
a jinx to the clubs ambitions
to go places and do things this
year, a task already pretty well
begun.
Many fans will recall no end
of previous celebrations ar
ranged for and in behalf Of
Washington teams which proved
to be somewhat premature. Fes-
tivities time and again have
gone for naught because the
teams were unable to live up
to the hopes held for them by
merry makers and well-wishers.
In fact such has been the
rule in baseball lore-that when
victory is celebrated too pre-
maturely, it often fades COM
pletely. But there is no reason
to be superstitious about the
matter. There can be no harm
in showing Washington tonight
that it's efforts on the road
have been appreciated and that
the town is tuned to champion
ship tone.
