DEFEAT FOR AN IDEA
CHAPTER XXI

Beatrice Huntington Davenport 1 backed on slowly and unbelievingly, from the spectacle of Miss Dane eohbing like Q baby, her head on the Capacious bosom of Miss Getz. Miss Dane's tortured words rang in her ) ears. "It wasn't like this in the old days. The store had some heart, then. MT. Huntington wasn't hard boiled, he didn't drive people ="
 This, she thought slowly, this is whats ct the root of the whole trouble wit this store. Everybody's being driven. The sore has become q kenstein-running wild on the momentum of its own strength, It's own power.
 The store made money for Grand- father. But he loved 1t, too. It was his servant, his child - never his master.
 And now it's making more money. Now the love is gone, there's noth- ing but profit behind 1t. Profit, no matter what the cost.
 She looked down at herself, her hands touching her sides curiously. 'sThe store has been run to make money or me. For me. Because l was useless, because Bruce Sheldrake and the trust company thought It was what 1 wanted. -"
 A moment later, she denied that to herself. "Nol They were doing I lt for themselves. Because they had l the power over 1t. Because 1t made them strong and feared. They knew I didn't care. I simply didn't count. 1 | got the money and they had the power"
 Her lips frightened, grimly. "Thats all over now. I'll show themT
 Miss Dane and Miss GetS had dis- appeared into the cubicle where Miss Dane worked over her purchasing records. Beatrice decided, I'm go- ing up to see MT. Bruce Sheldrake right nowl" She marched to the elevator, the light of battle in her eyes.
 But when the elevator door open cd, Anthony Bradley walked out Anthony, listen" she began, be- fore all the other considerations overwhelmed her. She stopped, and suddenly ner heart stopped, too For Anthony's face was bleak and tired, there wasn't even any joy at seeing her in his eyes.
 Anthony, what's the matter?"
 "Tfe turned me down." Anthony eaid hoarsely. "He-he listened to it ali. lIe made me explain a dozen times. And then" he winced' "Then he laughed. He said I was crazy.

make good-sized demand on squad
members time.
To all this is now being added an
increasing round of conferences with
the American Red Cross, the State
Police, the new State Defense Council
and other agencies, with view toward
dovetailing the existing squads into
the general defense program. One of
the many problems they are studying
at the moment, for example, is some
feasible method of camouflaging am
balances; another, the bulletproofng
of rescue cars. Certainly if nothing
else ever accomplishes it, the poten-
tial menace of aerial bombing - es-
pecially in the vulnerable, industrial
northeast - should drive home the
importance of the brand of prepared
ness provided by these volunteers.
Among the staunchest supporters
of the first-aid squads are the medical
men. One doctor recently called an

ambulance just to get the use of their
superlatively equipped PHYSICIANS
kitl A kit, incidentally, which is not
carried for their own use but purely
for the convenience of any doctor they
might chance to find at the scene of
an accident.
AS matter of fact, this universal
respect of the medical profession is
based not only upon what these
skilled volunteers can do but also upon
what they have the good judgment to
refrain from doing. There is a fine,
if somewhat elusive, distinction be-
tween first-aid work and medical
attention, and the squads are reso-
lutte in the determination to keep
within their legitimate field.
Certainly" MIR. Borden pointed
out, "any of us could take fishhook
out of a mans hand or use a hypo-
dermic needle as expertly as the aver
age nurse. But we consider that sort
of thing to be medical attention and
our function is merely to render what
ever emergency treatment will suffice
until we can get the victim to the
nearest doctor or hospital"

off to the nearest hospital while the
squad members alternated with the
artificial respiration.
Three days later that so-called
dead guy was discharged from the
hospital, practically as good as new!
One Tuesday another squad re-
sponded to a call for a man who had
been overcome while working in
gas-main opening In relays the men,
bers worked on that fellow all night;
all day and night Wednesday and
Thursday. right up to Friday eve
ming, when he rallied to the point
where they could take the oxygen
mask off at intervals. Shortly after
ward he had a sinking spell, however,
so they went back to work on him.
And for two more days and nights
they stayed on watch by the bedside,
giving him oxygen at intervals, until
- after 120 hours of continuous serv-
ice - his doctor pronounced him out
of danger.
They used up sixty-four tanks of
oxygen on that job, which they gath
cred from an area of fifty miles. And
they not only saved the man but they
apparently cured the stomach ulcers
that had bothered him for years, for
he hasn't had a trace of them since!
In addition to this emergency work.
the squads also handle upwards of 200
Transportation cases" a year: sick
people whose physicians want them
moved to or from a hospital. There is
no charge for this invaluable service
- or for any other service rendered,
for that matter. The bulk of their
funds come from voluntary contribu-
tons by citizens; from benefit dances,
socials. bingo parties. tag days. etc.
New Law Helps
Until 1882, in fact, these sources
were their sole means of revenue,
but then a state law was enacted per-
mitting county and municipal gov
ernments to donate up to $1,000
year to individual squads.
In addition to the sundry duties
already outlined, the volunteers han
die the safety campaigns and educa-
ton in their communities, hold lee
lures and first-aid courses for civilians.
On the night l visited the Point
Pleasant squad, for example. fifty
townspeople were assembling for their
fourth lesson in the current course.
This unit has two ambulances and
an abundance of equipment. Starting
very modestly ten years ago with
secondhand car. their invaluable pub
lie service has brought sufficient re-
turns in donations to expand their
equipment and even buy their own
headquarters building, debt-free.
From William r. Borden, energetic
captain of the unit and chairman of
committee that is working to nation
alize the movement, learned that
their most frequent emergency calls
are for, first, automobile accidents.

HOW THIS PROTECTING FooD-DRINK
H@%dSz~~AIAAle~Hz@1@

CCIENCE has proved there are certain
food elements every person needs to
maintain health. If there aren't enough of
them in the foods we eat, serious things
can happen.
For example, if your child doesn't get
enough Vitamin A, his growth will be
stunted Ifhe doesn't get enough Vitamin B,
his appetite's bound to fail. Loss of weight
accompanied by nervousness may follow.
And so it goes. A shortage of Vitamin D
interferes with normal development of
bones and teeth. A shortage of Iron i'm
poverishes the blood.
Ovaltine supplements child's diet with
those elements most likely to be lacking
an insurance against food deficiencies that
retard normal growth and development.
Ovaltine has always furnished a wide
variety of important food elements neces-
