1t inevitable these DAYS that more and more attention
should be directed toward the problem of finding something
for empoyable youngsters to do While legislators and
social refomers themselves with providing security

nations young people should be entirely forgotten.

recently that only 100000 of the nations 21
100000 young people between the ages of B and 81 out of

HOTEL is BASE
OF OPERATIONS

Too many times" says he,
when a man is sent to the dog
house, he makes it worse for
himself by drifting from bar to
bar, or club to club. If there is
a spark of forgiveness lying
around the house, he can't fan
it because his wife can't find
him. Therefore, I have establish
ed a sort of home base for the
man at this hotel. His wife can
reach him here at all times of
day. All she has to do is call the
Doghouse Association.
And at the same time, we
have established an hourly tenn
perature check. The occupant
of a DOLLHOUSE room leaves his
home number with the tele-
phone operator. Every hour the
operator will call the mans
home and determine whether
the wife has cooled down a bit
and is willing to talk to her hus-
band.
This inventive genius has not
merely theorized about il. At
this hotel, he has arranged that
mental case will be given the
Doghouse occupant with
soothing color scheme in his
room. And he has arranged for
all assistant managers and floor
men to be ready TO listen to the
mans tale Of woe, day or night.
Six of the hosiery rooms have
been earmarked for the Dog
house inmates. Each room is
stocked with the latest best
sellers. Only one grim note in
this literary array is evident;
il is a copy Of Schopenhaeur's
Dissertation on Women" a bit
ter treatise.
Toothpaste, shaving cream, a
razor blade and pajamas are
given TO all Doghouse inmates
upon registration. And the mem
bership cards are inscribed, The
holder Of this card is an I'M

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Certain types of accident are
so frequent that it is well for
everyone to have some knowl-
edge of how to give first aid
under such circumstances. Peo-
pie become unconscious due to
inhaling carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing stops because of cleo
trio shocks, and the number Of
drownings is not decreasing APP
preciatively.
The first essential in all such
cases is restoration of breath
ing. In Great Britain, it has
been suggested that practical in
struction in artificial respiration
should be Incorporated in the
school curriculum of every boy
and girl. Moreover. trained per-
sonnet is necessary at bathing
beaches, swimming pools, among
workers in mines, and in other
industries.
Long before we really appre-
ciated the nature of these
hazards, however, the subject
concerned the doctors. In 1888
an English doctor n am e d
Stephen Bradwell described a
method for taking care of
people who were apparently
drowned.
He said. Turn the feete up

ward and so hold by the heels
that the water may come out.
Let others help forth the water
by stroking, crushing, and driv-
ing his belly and stomach rea-
sonably hard, from the bottom
of his belly toward his throat.
II it be cold weather let all this
be done in a warme roome be-
fore a good fire"
Since that time other ply
sicians have modified the tech
nique so that now in England and
in the United States the method
most generally used is known as
the Schaefer method. In this
technique certain essentials are
desirable.
Where the ground is sloping,
the unconscious person should
always be placed with the head
lowest since this helps the Cir
culstion of the blood in the
brain.
When a person is unconscious
because of a fracture Of the
skull, however, the head should
be highest because it is impor-
tant to decrease the supply OF
blood to the head.
AS soon as possible, the pa
tents mouth and throat should
be felt so that anything loose
like chewing gum, tobacco or
false teeth may be removed

The average reduction for the

California, which stayed in

81 per cent, while neighbor Iowa

contrive a "hoke" that would

lively gent who organized the
Doghouse Association the other

a married man and he is often
confronted with the connubial
woes of Mr.. Average Husband.
So it came to his mind one
inventive morning that he
should establish a lodge to be
known as the Doghouse Boys.
He sets forth his prospectus and
the purpose of his quaint fra
ternity, as follows:
