charges Of ordering Mrs.
Frances Stanley Sutton as the

belief that Mrs. Sutton'S death
was caused by "air embolism."

And, Washington's drastic anti.

FIRST AID PALACES

How some traditional first aid remedies may do
great harm to victims of accidents is explained III
a recent Red Cross publication. A few examples
may be mentioned
Rolling person apparently drowned over bar
rel only forces water out of the stomach where it
does no harm But laying the patient face down
and alternately applying and releasing pressure at
the small of the back often induces respiration AMI
recovery.
Rubbing frost-bitten parts with snow is also
bad practice Let the frozen tissues thaw out grad
ually in temperature little above the freezing
point.
Some persons put spider webs, cuds OF tobacco,
SCOT. salt pork and the like cuts or infected
wounds, to draw the poison out" These substances
only increase the danger of infection.
Whiskey ammonia, pefmanganate or potash OF
the application Of freshly killed chicken to d
wound caused by snake-bite are all old-time RENE
dies of no value The modern course is to tie a
bandage between the wound and the heart, cut a
cash across the fang marks and suck out the poison
as quickly as possible. The venom of rattlesnakc
taken into the mouth is harmless, if it swal-
lowed. ... -..
Many other fallacies are enumerated and warned
against in publications of the Red Cross and medl-
cal societies. Every person should have some
knowledge of what to do and what not to do III
emergencies more widespread diffusion of such
knowledge would no doubt be- the means of savin;
many lives, through giving proper first aid until
physician can be called,-Monroe Enquirer.

WHAT PRICE LIBERTY?

at has been clearly demonstrated in the last few
days." says the Greenwood Index-Journa chat
there are many citizens in South Carolina who
would rather have three-doar license tags for all
automobiles than to have continued assurance of
their civil liberties guaranteed by the consttu-
ton and the statutes.
at has been amazing to note how low an esti-
mate has been put on the guarantees of law and
orderly government by so many citizens.
Sin the ITO years of struggle after struggle to
secure a government without the use of rifles
machine guns are factor in force and very
persuading in effect-the free white men of this
country have been willing to give up all if neces-
sary to maintain. the right to govern themselves
and to govern by the ballot This country has
never tanely submitted to government by bullets.
'sFor any appreciate number of citizens to tame
lily submit and some to applaud the act of Governor
Johnston in Selling the state highway department
is hard thing to understand Civil liberty has
been bartered for trifle." -Greenville g. c.

penditures for every man, woman, and child i'll the
UNITED States increased to $2.01 in 1860; 1884 in
1880; $685. in 1900; s7.54 in 1910; $8454 in
1922; dropped to SCOTS in 1926; climbed to S32 Az
in 1880; nearly doubled to S60.18 in 1885. And it
lis now proposed to spend $50 per person in 1886.

(Bv BRUCE CATION .

II i easy enough to do great deal ol
hard, uphill work if the populaee keeps
standing around telling you what great
man YOU are while you are doing 1t. II IS
eyer so much harder to keep plugging
awav without recognition, sticking on
thankless job whose importance. haro'F
anyone but yourself ever realizes.
But some of the most important work III
the world is done in precisely that way
And once in while the chap who is dong
it does come through, at last, to the recog-
milton and the broadened opportunity
which he deserves. -
The daily newspapers have recently re-
corded two cases of this kind. '...'.. .
First there is the case of Hugh Hammond
Bennett.
Mr. Bennett has been in the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture since 1905, Or
thereabouts Away back in the early years
of the present century he awoke to the
menace of soil erosion and discovered that
we were using our soil so carelessy that we
would ultimately ruin the rich farm areas
which have helped to make us a great and
powerful nation.
So Mr.. Bennett undertook campaign to
remedy matters, For many long years he
toiled unheededi in the Department of Ag-
rieulture, striving to bring about saner
use of our land. He did it so long, without
any recognition, that he must have felt
sometimes as if his work were utterly use
less. ..i
But finally the government and the ma
ton awOke and installed soil erosion SER
vice with $1,000 employees and ample
funds and publicity to carry the fight to
victory. And the man who was put in
charge of this vast job was Hugh Ham
mOnd Bennett
Another case. DR.. William Hallock
Park has been head of the laboratories OF
the New York City Health Department for
something like 40 years. During that time
he has saved heaven only knows how many
human lives, kept epidemes from striking
down children, and done more than a thou
sand ordinary men to extend the sum total
of human happiness.
He has had the fearlessness character
istie of medical scientists; when new, in
fantile paralysis vaccine was devised, for
instance, he boldly tested it on himself, to
make sure that it had no i'll effects
All this time DR.. Park went practically
unheard-of by the public at large But the
other day recognition came at last. with

for Service, tributes from distinguished
citizens, and columns of eulogy in tn.

72, but he finally got it.
