Ing and refurnishing movement since
the war" for America In 1885.
Actual buyer registrations at the six

held under the vast roof OF the Mer-

ing alertness Of merchants to smart"
styling and . demand for merchandise
in .higher-price brackets.
Strong Recovery Prospect.
Summing up the markets, most am
bilious ever undertaken here, General
Manager T. J. Reed of the Mart COM
mented: 1T is strikingly apparent that
the toll taken by long depression years
in the furnishings Of many American
homes is due to produce one Of the
country's best vehicles for buying its
way back to prosperity in the coming
year.
Various retail surveys show that
things for the home have been the
chief spending outlet for persons who,
during the late months Of 1885, began
to feel q little more secure In their
jobs. It was apparent from the trend
of orders placed in the various home
furnishings divisions Of the markets
here that merchants throughout the
country anticipate no slackening Of
the growing movement to FIX up the
house.
THE market attendance ard the
volume Of purchases reflect improved
conditions In the wholesale industry
generally. It Is significant that during
the last five years buyer traf1c to the
Mart has increased from 40 600 IN 1880
to more than 235,000 in 1895. Aggre-
gate buyer purchases from wholesale
lines have jumped from $50, 000. 900 to
$4,000, 900 in the same period. Gross
sales Of the Arms represented in the
various markets held in this building
showed 22.4 per cent increase last
year over 1884 when they totaled
Ss58,844, 437," declared Reed.

The Red Cross on the Highways

eff to humanity, for all the work Is
being done without compensation. Aid
and supplies are given free to the suf-
ferer who, if he happens to be able
and grateful, might possibly contrib
ute something to help the cause along
though this is in no way expected OF
required.
In one community doctors fought
the idea, thinking it would interfere
with their profession. However, the
Red Cross has no idea Of usurping the
prerogative of the doctor or the hos
pital The purpose is merely to stop
the loss Of blood, to handle the patient
in such a way as to prevent compound
fracture and in other ways to give
first aid until the physician arrives
AS soon as the doctors learned that
this assistance was not being given by
inexperienced persons, but by people
trained to help the physician rather
than to hinder him, the Red Cross
received their hearty support in this
project.
Not only has the movement had a
great amount Of assistance locally
but, in connection with the national
organization, leading medical authori-
ties-particularly those connected
with the American College Of Sur
geons-have given much time and val
liable advice to the project as a whole
and have assisted greatly with details.
No mere experiment is this highway
first-aid project of the American Red
Cross. AS early as 1893 French tour
ing clubs established frst-aid posts
along country lanes for the relief of
speeding cyclists, and now in thirteen
European countries, the Red Cross So
cieties are conducting first-aid posts in

cooperation with touring clubs and
other groups, the methods being stan
dardized By the League of Red Cross
Societies and the International Tour
ing body. In the United States, forty
seven States have adopted the plan IN
one form or another.
That this has not been an idle eX-
penditure of money can be shown by
examining the reports from first-aid
posts that come in daily to national
headquarters telling of detailed emer-
gency care given crash victims.
A Massachusetts post, picked at
random among the reports, tells of
first aid given over period Of eleven
days to the victims of five accidents,
which included various types of in
juries-cuts and bruises, burns a sew
cred temple artery, an injured ankle
and a severe cash suffered when a
brush ak slipped. Although only three
of these accidents were motor vehicle
mishaps, they all occurred on or near
the highway.
While the highway emergency sta
tons are not to be used by residents
of the neighborhood who might have
some minor injury or who are too
penurious to engage a physician, OPP
orators Of these stations are permit
ted to treat persons other than those
injured on the highway, provided the
occasion demands it. For instance, a
farmer brushes his hand in a corn
cutter. His life is threatened from the
loss of blood. His wife telephones the
nearest town. The old doctor has just
moved out and the young one has not
yet moved in. Down the road is high
way first-aid station. His hand is
treated, his life is saved, and he is
made comfortable until a doctor can
be found.
While designed primarily to give
first aid in case Of accidents that have
happened, these highway stations also
constitute a preventive measure. The
psychological effect Of first-aid sta
ton signs along the highway, it is
said, does more to prevent casualties
than tons of propaganda. The very facI
that accidents are anticipated in a
given area seems to make people more
careful when approaching that place.

adhesive, several packages of sterile
gauze in two sizes; several packages
of assorted sterile bandage compress
es, picric acid gauze, burn ointments,
iodine ampules, aromatic spirits of
ammonia, inelastic tourniquets, one
pair of small scissors, splinter forceps,
paper cups, roller bandages, wire OF
thin board splints and small tubes of
castor oil or mineral oil for use in eyes.
Sometimes drugs like EPSON salts are
added.
Kits and materials of this size cost
the Red Cross $24 apiece for each sta
ton, and there is a $10-a-year allow
ance for renewal. When there is room,
cots are placed in the station. These,
Of course, add to the expense, but most
stations do not have room for them.
#&#
Also in the station there must be a
telephone to receive calls and to call
the doctor or ambulance, with list of
hospitals and the names and numbers
of all the doctors and doctors regis
tries in the community. In the case of
two adjacent cities the names and
numbers of hospitals and doctors in
both places are given.
In sending for a doctor or ambu-
lance, the first-aid administrator is
taught to be sure to give three i'm
portant bits of information, namely:
The location of the injured person; the
nature, cause and probable extent of
the injury and what supplies are avail
able at the station, and what kind of
first aid is being given.
Too often in the excitement follow
ing an accident the inexperienced per-
son neglects this information, with
the result that the physician or ambu-
lance cannot find the injured ones,
who must suffer severe consequences
accordingly. The second bit of informa-
ton is Of Importance, as it informs
the physician what equipment to bring
along, and the third is of vaule because
the doctor might be able to suggest
further remedies to be administered
before his arrival

One of the chief difficulties in setting
up these highway first-aid stations is
to find trained workers who are will

fetal: Every time 1 pass a frst-aid
station sign, l start thinking, and /
am a more careful driver"
These signs, placed 500 feet before
each station, look very much like an
enlarged license plate bearing a red
cross and the words, Emergency First
Aid, American Red Cross" in black
letters on a white background. A
similar marker is posted on the sta
tion itself.
An offspring of the highway emer-
gency project is the establishment of
mobile first-aid units. This is a plan
by which the Red Cross enters into an
engagements with sizable organiza-
lions that have normally either fleets
of automobiles or trucks upon the
highways. Such organizations would
be State police, State highway depart
ments, public service companies and
the like. When their PERSONAL have
passed the requirements for tirst-ald
service and when they have agreed
to equip their cars with first-aid kits,
than a Red Cross marker will grace
their trucks or automobiles to show
the public there is a trained Good
Samaritan handy, ready to render
friendly and competent first-aid.
Although the mobile project is less
than a year old, already favorable
reaction has been shown to it. In Ohio
every State policeman is trained in
first aid. Among other units in the mid
West are the North Dakota Highway
Patrol and the Minnesota fleet that
IS handled by a trucking concern of st.
Paul.
During the past year the Baltimore
chapter of the American Red Cross
trained policemen and iremen, both
paid and volunteer, in both Balti-
more and Howard counties that come
under its jurisdiction. At the present
time the chapter is arranging for a
selected group of State policemen to
receive first-aid instruction in the two
counties. Having studied the Red
Cross highway lirst-aid program as
it is related to the Baltimore chapter,
it feels that these trained groups can
handle the situation until more can be
done.
The Baltimore chapter points out
that the police or fire departments or
the sheritfs are usually the first ones
to be called to the scene Of an acct
dent. Too often these officers are not
trained in first aid and only cause
greater injury to the victim. There are
the cases Of men who were called to
the scene of a drowning, and who,
having no pulmotor or knowledge of
reSuscitation methods, merely rolled
the rescued over a barrel, which re-
moved the water from his stomach,
where it would do no harm anyway,
while failing to remove it from his
lungs. Hence the victim died.
The Red Cross, originally a war
time organization, began this program
when it realized that motor-car acct
dents on the highways last year killed
more people than the American Army
lost in battle during the entire World
War. 1t recognizes that the problem
of safety on the highways is not its
responsibility, but that the killing and
the crippling continues, and will con-
tinue for some time to come. There
fore, it has stepped in to alleviate UNI
necessary suffering and to prevent
loss of life that might result from the
improper handling of the accident vic
tins.
