Highway First
Aid Stations
No Experiment
Washington, D. C., March 10.
—Proof that Red Cross Highway
Emergency First Aid Stations,
now being established throughout
America to give immediate care
to traffic injured, are far more
than a humanitarian experiment
is shown by the fact that ap
proximately 30 European coun
tries are successfully conducting
similar projects under Red Cross
leadership.
“Highway first aid,” said Ern
est J. Swift, vice president in
charge of insular and foreign .af
fairs for the American Red
Cross, and formerly Secretary
General of the League of Red
Cross Societies in Paris, “can be
traced in principle to the days
of the Crusaders. Existing rec
ords indicate that the St. John's
Ambulance Society of England
functioned at that time.”
France alone has more than
2,000 highway first aid posts in
operation manned by 6,000 train
ed persons. The posts are spac
ed at intervals .of 20 to 100 kil
ometers. The Swedish Red Cross
has established a particularly ef
fective chain of- these emergency
stations. Spain first instituted
the idea more than 30 years ago,
maintaining posts at that time to
aid injured motorists during the
Paris-Madrid annual automobile1
race. European first aid stations
are established at rural police
stations, roadmenders* huts, tele
phone exchanges, tourist homes,
service stations and other strate
gic spots.
Since 1930 the Red Cross In
ternational Commission on High
way First Aid and the Central
Council of International Touring
have held regular conferences to
standardize highway first aid
posts in European countries.
Red Cross Highway Emergency
First Aid Stations in America
total 310 actually in operation
as of February 1, with 1,957
sites chosen and personnel in the
process of training for that
many additional stations.

Today and Tomorrow

SAP ...... the season
Its “sugaring-off” time now, up
in my home country of Berkshire.
They are tapping the maple trees
in every “sugar bush.” It’s great
fun—and profitable, too. The aver,
age maple tree yields about 25
gallons of sap. It is gathered in
buckets—old-timers still use the
old wooden “sap-pails”.—and pour
ed into barrels on sleds, which
the oxen or horse draw to where
the big iron sap-kettle stands
over the log fire.
For every barrel of sap boiled
down you get about a gallon of
maple syrup. Boiling the syrup
down still more, leaves a residue
of sugar, which is worth in trade
at the store from 10 to 20 cents
a pound. The owners of the big
gest “sugar-bushes’* pack their
own sugar under their own
brands, for the city markets.
SUCCESS . . . one business
I am always interested in men
who started at the bottom and
have worked up to the top in one
business. Perhaps they are more
interesting to me because I have
never had the temperament and
disposition to climb the ladder a
rung at a time. I’ve always
tried to go faster than that, and
if there were too many above
me on' one ladder, I’d try another.
However, I take my hat off to
men like Oscar W. Smith, presi
dent of the great drug manufac
turing house of Parke, Davis &
Company, who has just celebrat
ed the 50th anniversary of his
connection with the same con
cern. He started in as an office
boy- when he was 16, in 1886.
Now, at 66, he has been the head
of the business for fourteen
years.
XXX
FARE ..... and pastes
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ordered all the East
ern railroads to reduce their pas
senger fares to two cents a mile,
with another cent for the privilege
>f riding in a Pullman car. This i
is bringing railroad rates back bo
the pre-war standard with a ven
geance. It cuts the rate between
Mew York and (Chicago from
1
$32.17 to $18.17, and other trips
in proportion.
It is the idea that the lower
rate will induce more people to
travel, and I am inclined to think
that is true. The biggest pas
senger-carrying road in New
England, which is New Haven,
runs many trains, even in the
summer tourist season, over 100
mile stretches with not more than
a dozen passengers to a car ex
cept at week-ends.
Personally, I have always ob
jected to paying railroad fares
since the roads stopped giving
out passes to newspaper men.
KING.rtyle.
King Edward i is starting out to
be just as good « salesman for
British Empire products as he was
when he was Prince of Wales. He
went to a commercial exhibit of
Empire-made goods the other day.
He stopped at a booth where they
were showing pipes made on the
Island of Malta, and bought one
of them. The immediate result
was that the Malta pipe makers
were swamped , with orders—
enough to keep them busy for a
year and a half. He admired
>ome African ostrich feathers.and
wondered why the ladies had stop,
ped wearing them in their hats.
A. big boom in ostrich feathers
started overnight.
I have often wondered why the
fashion for ostrich feathers went
out so suddenly. I imagine the
war had something to do with it.
[ remembered when no lady con
sidered herself well-dressed unless
she had two or three “willow
plumes" in her hat, which cost
$15 or $20 apiece or even more.
[ remember one night in a theatre
n Columbus, Ohio, when some
body stole two ‘willow plumes off
ny wife's hat, which she had
pinned to the ’seat in front of
tier. That set us back about $35.

Sparta High Win» Two
Baakatbali Games
Sparta boys and girls upset the
hard-fighting teams of Piney
Creek high school at Piney Creek
in both ends of a double header,
Monday, March 9.
1 he girls were slow to start,
but after once finding the ba-ket,
Sparta soon drew away to win
by a score of 15 bo 9.
The game was featured by close
guarding and fine passing by b'th
sextets. Perry was best for
Spin fa, while Osborne starred for
Pinoy Creek.
In a vigorous game that saw
the score tied several times with
the outcome in doubt until the
final whistte, Sparta boys emerged
winners bym score of 24-17.
Richard^ki and Royall, of

for many centuries after the

It was revived by Queen Anne of
England ia 1712 to provide a
fund, calwrQueen Anne’s Boun
ty, to support poor churches
whose members could not afford
to pay the ministers a decent
living. At that time the tithes
produced about $100,000 a year.
They have grown, with the in
crease of farm incomes, to about
$11,000,000 a year and the farm
ers of England have been pro
testing against them for a long
time.
The British Parliament the
other day voted to abolish the
tithing system and instead pro
vided a fund out of which to
pay clergymen of the Church of
Lng'and whose congregations
could not support them.
I have always thought the
founders of the Republic were
very wise in providing in the Con
