should be artificial respiration,
kept up for an indefinite period, at
least as long as three or four
hours Recovery has been known
to take place after four hours Of
artificial respiration, during which
time life is apparently completely
suspended.
Proper Method D
The proper method of artificial
respiration is the prone pressure
maneuver. The one known to most
people is the old Sylvester method
of putting the patient on the back
and raising the arms forcibly over
the, head. 1t is probably the least
effective Of all methods Of artifi-
cial respiration.
The prone pressure method con-
sists in. putting the patient on his
stomach, bending one arm so sthat
the forehead can rest. upon it, thus
raising the nose and mouth from
the ground and preventing the
tongue from falling into the back
of the throat. The operator sits
astraddle Of the prone patient and
alternately places both hands on
the sides Of the chest. presses the
air out, and then sits back, taking
the hands off the chest so that 1t
can expand.
It is by all odds the most eff
fective means Of performing. arti-
fetal respiration. It produces the
largest amount Of respiratory ex-
change, requires only one operator,
and tires him so little that it can
be continued for an indefinite Pc
lriod.

night to speak to school children and
see the Capital Of the land he has

He was introduced by Representative

the students to visualize what it would
mean to sit in . classroom and be
isolated from all other children, not
allowed to salute the nag or sing the
national anthem.

NAVY BANS PLANE
FLIGHTS AT NIGHT
Orders Are Issued After
Loss Of II Lives in Games
in Hawaii,
By the Associated Press,

HONOLULU. April 1.-THE United
States Navy today banned night flying
in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands
as result of two plane disasters that
cost IL lives during the current war
games
Despite the fatalities and the loss
OF three 100000 planes, naval officials
said aircraft performed wonderful
services" as scouts during the mock
defense of the Hawaiian Islands.
Six other planes were forced down
at sea without damage.
Search for six men aboard a plane
that disappeared during maneuvers
Wednesday was virtually abandoned.
Admiral Claude c. Bloch, commander.
in-chief of the fleet, said "it is with
regret that I conclude there Is no
finding the plane or survivors"
Three Bodies Recovered.
Bodies of three flyers were recovered
from bombing plane which crashed
off Oahu Island yesterday. Two more
bodies were believed still in the sunken
fuselage.
The crew Of a third plane, forced
down and sunk earlier, was rescued.
Naval officials said planes rendered
invaluable service in relaying informa-
ton about the approach of a sup
posedly hostile feet bent on capturing
the Hawaiian Islands.
Whether the invading feet was able
to capture the United States mid
Pacific frontier was an official secret.
Officers turned to planning the next
phase of the annual maneuvers, start
ing Monday after three days Of rest
from two weeks of strenuous war
games.
Search Is Abandoned.
Sixty-flve surface vessels and 240
aircraft searching for the missing
bomber were called in last night after
all hope had been abandoned.
Naval air fatalities since the start
Of 1888 were boosted to 80 by the two
crashes. The others occurred along
the Pacific Coast.
OF the Hawaiian accidents, a high
naval official said blame for two was
placed on motor failure. Six others
were due to storms, while the fate
which befell the missing bomber was
undetermined.
The next phase of the six-week
maneuvers is expected to extend
southwark 1900 miles to the Equator,
westward more than 1900 miles to
Midway Island and north toward
Alaska.

PRAHA, Czechoslovakia, April L.
In a world pensive and jittery about
the fate Of Czechoslovakia, Eduarc

principal founders Of the republic, /,
placidity and composure personified.
Although the last decisions for the
destiny Of the state, 100000 citizens

Foremost, it was evident from the
Presidents attitude that the object
nearest to the heart of this Czecho-

complicated nationality problem OF
Czechoslovakia during his presidential
administration.

achieved II there Is no outside inter-

Another positive impression Is that
President Benes does not believe that
. war over Czechoslovakia is in the
oning.
He Is convinced that Germany will
not force the issue, just as he is de-
termined that his country shall do
everything humanity possible to pre-
vent q conflict.
That the nation would rise to q
man for defense in event Of attack
also may be taken for granted, al
though the President does not believe
in the likelihood Of an attack.
Happy Over Trade Pact.
