crease in the number Of appli-
Giants for training will occur.
First aid IL the immediate
and temporary care given by
trained persons In case Of acct
dents before the physician takes
charge" is the definition given
by the American Red Cross
manual.
In the United States each day,
without the addition Of war or

beginning, b out one out OF
seven physicians would admins
ter first aid every day
This. of course. IS quite i'm
possible for many reasons and
the great majority OF accident
victims must receive their first
aid care from a layman until the
services OF physician can be
obtained.
AS a matter Of fact, this Is
probably a good thing. provided
the layman has had Red Cross
course in first aid. because very
often it is possible that lay
man can teach a doctor very
great many valuable tricks in
first aid. provided the doctor is
not too superior 10 learn.
eVT'RAINED laymen," writes
l. DR.. William Reggie Of
Boston. "know how to use
Keller-Blake leg splint. or a
notched board or rake az sub
stitutes and how To apply fixed
traction for safer transportation
OF the victim.
"Many physicians do not even
know what a Keller-Blake splint
IN, much less how to apply one.
and even less how TO improvise
or use substitutes.
The American College OF Sur
geons found in 1910 that not A
dozen medical schools taught
anything about first aid. eX-
cept for the application OF
emergency Splinting as part OF
fracture instruction.
In half of these schools, at
tending a course in first aid IS
optional for the students.
Now first aid is really getting
10 be a technical subject and
should not be left 10 the chance
that graduate physician will
be able 10 apply the knowledge
he has gained from course in
surgery when confronted with
an emergency.
Tn MANY communities but
Il not in all. police and fire
departments have their men
trained in first aid and many
large industrial concerns have
such courses and eventually, no
doubt. all employees will be
trained in first aid
This knowledge is part Of the
education that every human
being in the present world
should have just as he studies
reading. writing and arithmetic
and if the present emergency
increases the interest in the
subject it will be something 10
It's credit after all

Alaska
The Army Engineer Corps has created
a well-graded, well-drained truck road for
practically the entire length, from Dawson
Creek in British Columbia, to Fairbanks.
TWo-way traffic is feasible over many long
stretches, and cOnveniences, including rest
camps for drivers, and telephone installa-
TONS and weather observation posts are
available
Until next Spring, when thaws will
make the highway impossible, a steady
stream of traffic will use the 1.6OO-mile
road, which connects with railway and
highway systems at Dawson Creek and
serves various military airfields in Alaska
