For many years 1 have been car.
rying on a feeble campaign to cor
rect an error which crept into the
method or technique followed by
the American Red Cross and VAR
ious organizations that accept or
approve whatever the Red Cross
says or does even though 1t Is
wrong--they accept or approve be-
cause they know no better. If this
sounds at all out of line or If
you ask who am to take this at

citation etc, etc. can't give you
further details here, but. drop in
some time and I'll show you in my
files what I mean. Official records
of these organizations show, VEN
ture to say, that they didn't know
what 1t was all about when they
accepted and approved the erratic
Red Cross technique many years
ago.
Some years ago I appealed to the
man considered the greatest au-
thority in the country, indeed
recognized world authority on re-
suscitation. Prof. Yandell Hender-
son NOV deceaSed) for his support.
Professor Henderson was a kindly

authorities approved resuscitation
instructions published by the Ma
tional Electric Light Association,
with pictures showing both of the
subjects arms drawn we'll up above
the head and nothing under the
subjects head-the correct Schaf-
er method.
But some time later the Red
Cross as nearly as can learn, for
nobody will acknowledge RESPONSE
bilityD introduced the modification
to which I object-placing one of
the subjects arms under the head
and apparently all Of the organi-
cations of their medical representa-
tives accepted the modification and
approved" the Red Cross techni-
que without any question.
But. while Prof. Henderson agreed
with me that the correct position
both of subjects arms extended
we'll above head-placed the SUBJ
ject's thoraX or chest in more
favorable position for entrance of
air into the lungs. still he doubted
that the water-trap caused by lift
ing the head upon the subjects arm
was important, for, he said, it had
been shown in the laboratory that
a little water in the lung is rapidly
absorbed anyway.
Prof. Henderson did not say just
haw long it would take to absorb a
little water if some got into the
lung, nor did he say what the SUBJ
ject was going to DO for air while
we wait for the water to be absorb

anything like that. I had to give
the Professor up as sold American

I don't care about that, still
say the Red Cross way is wrong

Noble Hatchery
Plans Extensive
improvements
New Streamliner
Incubator Will
Be Installed

Keeping stride with the general
progress in business here in Noble
county, Arthur r. Boyer, owner
and manager of the Noble Hatch
cry. announced today the purchase
of a new incubator, Matching unit
and other plans, representing ap-
proximately $4,000 in proposed i'm
provements before the Matching
season opens.
The Streamliner, a unit of the
Buckeye Incubator Line, has a
total capacity of $500 eggs and
matches twice weekly. The setting
unit has a capacity of 56,16O eggs
and the hatcher, $3.50 eggs, max
ing the above total.
Mr.. Boyer pointed out that the
Noble Hatchery will now have a
capacity of 10000 chicks per week
or about $4,000 chicks in one COM
plete cycle of Matching. That rep
resents the maximum capacity
strength when all the machines
are filled.
The new incubator arrived in
Caldwell this week and will be in
stalled by representative from
the factory. Made from specially
selected California Redwood, it has
a beautiful and lasting outside fin
ish. The Streamliner brings many
advantages to the local Matching
field, including complete sanitation
to insure the production of disease
free chicks, a controlled fumigation
process and provision for easier
methods of cleaning, correct bal
ance of heat, moisture and Ventlla-
ton at different stages during the
Matching period and plenty of room
in the Matching trays so that chicks
can come out of the shells under
their own power, as such chicks
prove to be healthier and stronger.
The new incubator will be
erected in the basement of the
hatchery, as well as the other in
cubators which are now located on
the second floor. This room will
then be used as a dispensing and
shipping center for all Noble chicks.
Mr.. Boyer expects to start the
Matching season the first week in
January and continue until late
June depending, of course, on the
season.
This is his sixth year in Caldwell
since the purchase of the hatchery
from the late E. H. Johanning.
