For one week from date of this paper, 139-,C, ,Inns i;;. iii 'hursday, Jul),.isth, xga6 Meande.rin ar hidd By, Marjorie Adams Not very long Igo' I was a guest :at a most amusing party. It was a large affair and•might have been hard to manage if the hostess had not been inordinately clever. • During the first part of the evening there was an old song contest which provoked gales of laughter—slips of 'paper .and pencilswere passed • and the guests were asked to write, in or. .der, the name Ste_ g of the songs, snatches 'fof which were played on the piano. The prize for this was a bound vol- ume of. "college songs" which were 'so popular some years back. Thee,Ve danced—the Virginia reel and the rye waltz.. Somebody per- formed a cake walk and one venture' - "some couple did the lancers. When we filed out for dinner we 'found no place cards. Instead there were tiny cloisonne picture frames on the table, each one containing an old picture of one of the guests. It was almost impossible to identify some of. them—even baby pictures appeared in Che colledtion—but eventually. all ess a were seated and the dinner- progress- ed „ ro r - ed merrily. The food, of course, was, as up-to- date as it could'be and conversation didn't lag for an instant. 1 The table decorations were simple, There• is nly ill Filel..

Keeping Tlfe Horne, Cool There is always an air; of comfort about 'the home which is plentifully supplied with fans during' the sum- iner months. , Electric fans are ideal of course..

There are `.wee motor driven" ones—press a button you know, and the fan rotates—big palm leaf ones, cunnin ,ribbon trim- med and painted fans and so many others that my brain, was a perfect whirl of them .when I fniished look- ing.

Grant They'veleft the schoolhouseATommy, where years ago we sat And shot our paper burets at , the teacher's stiff black fiat; The hook hashung, gone on which it 'arid the teacher sleepeth now, Where schoolboy tricks cannever Cast,a shadow o'er his brow. They've built a- new, imposing school, the pride of all the town,' And laughing lads ansd lassies go its broad steps up and down; A tower crowns its summit with . a new and monstrous bell, That youthful ears, in distant homes, can hear its music swell. I'm thinking of. the old one; with its ' creaking, hingeless door'; The windows are all . broken, many holes ate in the -floor. There Are few, indeed, of , all . the , boys who romped and studid + there • Remain to see it' •battered -up and lacking desk - or chair. I'm thinking of the same old bench where we sat side by side, • And carved our names upon the desk when not by master eyed; Since then a host : of boys 'have sought their great skill to display; Axid just like footprints in the 'sand our names have passed away. I know that you are far out West, and greatly learned in law, And •so is, Jack, who sat with us— you each could work your jaw; There to bhe right sat Jimmy, too- you must remember Jim— He's teaching now, and punishing, as the teacher, punished him. . What an unlucky boy he was, his sky was dark with woes— 'Whoever diel, the mischief, it was he Who got the blpws. Those days have all gone by, long since; life's hill we're going down, And 'whitened hair festoons our domes , instead of ` schoolboy. brown. But memory need never die—let's • cherish all the joys We shared together at that, school when you and I were boys. Though ruthless flpmes have burned it down, ,that old school lone and drew-, They, can't destroy the characters • that started' out' from there, While old Tiine's waves ' may wash the shore and sweep out mucii • from me,,: • s,. Bright as the stars that ▪ shine above • still beams its memory. TOURISTS' FIRST AID KIT By Dr. Arthur L. Forster' Everybody who , has not a1 -ready done so, will soon betaking a tour away from the comforts of Hoene to the discomforts of seine other plaee. They don't know exactly why they go. away, but it seems to be the thing to do, and' so they do it, , Bill Jones of the city goes to the country, and John Brown of the country goes to the city. Bill wants quiet, rest and repose; John wants action, noise and excitement. The quiet, rest and repose;.John : wants reason perhaps' lies in� the wanderlust that is still a part of our mental makeup. w Acci ents' On The Road The roads are crowded with auto should have a'' place iii. every -home„ The contents pf the box and indica- tions for' their use I should list some- what as follows; .Absorbent oottho (2 oz, package) Gauze dressing (5 yds.) Wounds. Bandages (x, 2 and 3 in),. Adhesive tape (5 yds. lottg—z Inn wide), . Iodine (x oz.) Antiseptic. Picric acid (crystals-1.,oz.), Burns -in solution. Rubber tubing (24 ill. long, in, thick) Hemorrhage, oz:) Wet 13oric acid (crystals—ix dressing., 'Whiskey (8 oz.) Collapse. This list could be extended to in- clude ligatures, hemostats, etc. How - ester, the use of such instruments and. appliances requires the tehanical skill possessed only by a surgeon: 1Vloreover, the services of a doctor are nowadays available almost anywhere within an hour. The important thing - is to bridge that hour, and the ma - mobiles of every size, make and de- scription. Some' are driving leisurely and carefully; some are dashing mad ly and; heedlessly. Dad and the b.:,v,, are sitting in the front seat; m4 -'ter and the girl occupy the back cushion. Mother is driving, as usual, from the rear. The countryside is beautiful in the full flush of summer, Tie corr., a little late this year, is a trifle more than knee-high. Suddenly there's a roar and a vio- lent honkiiig from behind. Mother, tells dad to ,pall over to the edge of the road, which he had all eady. started to do. A car comes rushiii down the left side of the narrow con- crete highway alongside them.' The driver swings sharply ahead of them in his endeavor to avoid a colli ion with a car approaching from the eith- er direction. A second more and he might have made it, but in that se- cond three' cars were wrecked and five people injured. First Aid To The Injured What to do?A tourniquet sh ould be placed about the bleeding limb of one to control the hemorrhage. An antiseptic should be applied to the jagged. scalp -wound of another. A soothing lotion should be, applied to the -burns Of a third. An improvised splint should be placed around' the fracturedarm of another of the vic- tims. A supporting dressing should be placed about the badly sprained ankle of still another sufferer. None of these procedures is carried out because none of the passengers possesses the necessary materials. And so the injured fail to get that first aid attentionhich n only of on y minimizes left injdries but, oftimes' saves their lives. Threeyears ago, while touring in California, we arrived at the scene of a serious smashup a couple miniites after it had hapened. We had some first aid materials with us and were able to render attention at the road- side that unquestionably saved one man from bleeding to death. One never knows when he will be called upon to offer such service. First Aid Materials Every tourist should therefore pro- vide himself with a little box of first aid , supplies.

McM. writes: "(x) What causes high blood pres- sure? "(2) I have taken fourteen boxes of pills prescribed by "my doctor. Are these actingas a drug? While I take them I seem to feel better, but as soon as I stop I feel the painful throbbing. "(3) I have a sort of dizziness at times, and a painful throbbing on the left side in the region of the heart. Are these the symptoms of high blood pressure. " would do for a cure(4) What ?" Reply (x) High blood pressure is a symp- tom. denoting an abnormal state of the heart, kidneys or blood vessels. Usually all the structures named are affected, since it is impossible for one to be diseased without involving the other two. (2) The pills you have been taking are very likely a 'drug that is used to reduce the tension in the vessels. If. I knew exactly what it is I could bet- ter advise you regarding it. (3) The high tension in your case is apparently due to enlargement of the heart, Hasyoururine , u ne been exam- ined? If not, have this done at once. (4) e Your ..doctor undoubtedly has. made ` a careful analysis if your case and`is doing all that can be done. I could not advise you specifically what to do as so many features enter into these cases that make a set form of treatment out of the question.
