RED GROSS OFFERS
AID TO LUMBERMEN
Practical Co-operation, Includ
ing Financial Help, Prom
ised to Owners.
CASUALTIES ARE MANY
EXECUTIVE HEAD OP RED CROSS, WHO PROPOSES TO ESTABLISH
FIRST-AID SYSTEM IN LUMBER GAMPS.
Miss Boardman, Using StatA of
"Washington as Basis, Estimates
That in Entire Country Five
. Men Are Killed Each Xay.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. First aid to
the Injured In the lumber camps of the
United States Is planned by the Ameri
can Red Cross through Miss Mabel T.
Boardman, chairman of the executive
committee. A proposition offering
financial , and practical co-operation
for the undertaking was made by Miss
Boardman In an address before the
Conservation Congress. The Red Cross
proposal was received with enthusiastic
acclaim.
Miss Boardman said no accurate data
could be given as to accidents In the
lumber industries and for this reason
she based her estimates on statistics
obtained from the State of Washington.
In that state 47,400 men are employed
Jn the lumber district. She cites that
in 23 months in the Washington lum
ber camps 251 fatal accidents occurred:
890 persons were permanently partially
disabled, and 840 suffered from tem
porary total disability. This gives a
monthly average of more than 10 killed,
43 permanently disabled and 86S tem
porarily disabled. She assumes that
800,000 people were employed In the
lumber- Industry of the United States.
This gives the State of Washington
one-sixteenth of the total.
Five Killed Eack Dtr.
On this basis Miss Boardman con
siders It fair to figure an annual total
for the country of 1920 killed, 8256
permanently partially disabled, and
70.272 temporarily totally disabled.
This means a daily death rate of five,
with 22 permanently disabled and 182
temporarily disabled.
Based on these figures, the Ameri
can Red Cross sees an Important field
for Instruction In the prevention of ac
cidents and In the practical applica
tion of first aid to the injured for the
lessening of fatal, serious or prolonged
results from accidents when they do
occur. She adds:
"There is almost no labor utilized in
the lumber industries that has not some
danger involved in it. Physicians have
signed many a death certificate of men
who bled to death from slight Injuries
and whose lives might easily have
been saved by some knowledge of first
aid."
Special Physician Proposed.
The proposition of the Red Cross Is
as follows:
"To make an experiment and we
learn best by experience the Red Cross
makes this proposal: Toward a fund of
$3000 it will contribute $500, if several
lumber companies in a given locality
will club together to raise the addition
al $2500, each contributing according
to the number of its respective camps
and employes. This fund will provide
for the salary and expenses of a phy
sician specially trained by the Red
Cross for Jnstructfon to men engaged
in the lumber . Industry, both for the
prevention of accidents and first aid
to the Injured. In connection with
logging camps, there should be added
certain simple but Important Instruc
tions in camp sanitation for the ben
efit of the general health of all the
men.
'Such a doctor devoting his entire
time to this work would travel from
cairp to camp. In cases of remote
camps, he would stay long enough to
give tne men daily instruction for a
short time. In cases where several
camps could be reached mora easily
from one place, he would arrange to
give ono or two lessons a week at each
camp. The classes are formed from
volunteers, who receive practical train
ing. The men soon realize the im
portanee of such konwledge and are
willing to learn. Even those who gath
er about as spectators pick up not a
mue userui inrormtaion."

High School Pupils Promise to For

BAKER, Or.. Nov. 20.-6pecIal.)
High school students today pledged
themselves to discontinue the attempts
to break up class parties, and assured
Principal Klton that they would for
get all class rivalry which was of the
militant kind. Recent outbreaks have
been growing more and more serious.
At first the "stunts" consisted merely
In breaking Into the places where rival
classes were holding parties and steal
ing food Intended for refreshments for
the rivals. But these became too tame
and recent teats include cutting down

ST. LOUIS. Nov, 20. "In my opinion,
the newly-developed aft of aviation will
not only tend to limit the duration and
scope of hostile operations, but also aid
in the control of the seas, one of the
elements contributing materially to the
power and prosperity of a nation."
Secretary Daniels made this state
ment here tonight in the course of a
public address on aeronautics. In which
he discussed th conquest of the air
by the United States Army and Navy
and the part aerial navigation will take
in future wars.
Discussing the potentialities of the
aeroplane in war the Secretary said he
believed its chief use for . the Navy
would be scouting and reconnoissance
for destructive offensive operations
against hostile fleets and fortifications.
Army Has 17 Machines t Navy 7.
"The United States Army has 17 ma
chines, with a total personnel of 24
officers," he continued. "Seven more
machines are in sight. There is at pres
ent no definite organization and no
plan of co-operation between the Army
and Navy. The latter possesses only
four hydroplanes and three flying
boats, though it is proposed to buy
three more.
"The war aeroplane and war airship
are today recognized and proved en
gines of war by the leading nations of
the earth. In practice, our recognition
is little more than theoretical. Scout
ing and Information in land operations
are being given over to the aeroplanes
and the lighter dirigibles and scouting,
information and mining in sea opera
tions are being given over to the hy
droplane and larger dirigibles, while
the large and armed rigid dirigible.
capable of carrying several tons of ex
plosive and making long sustained
flights, is designed both for scouting
and for making offensive attacks on
ships, arsenals, docks, etc."
Canal, Too, Requires Defense.
The geographical position of the
United States was credited by Mr. Dan
iels as the reason for this Government's
lagging behind other nations in de
veloping and utilizing our own gift,'
the aeroplane, to the world. He em
phasized the necessity for organizing
and training a sufficient and efficient
Naval air service to protect adequately
the Panama canal, "as well .as our own
coast fortifications, and expressed a
strong personal belief in this future.
Touching on the development of
aeronautics, he said: "The United
States produced the first aeroplane and
the first hydro-aeroplane and European
nations eagerly grasped at the chance
to utilize them in their armies and na
vies.
France has .led in the development
and use of heavier than air machines.
900 aviators, '12 dirigible balloons and
400 balloon pilots. .
While France was devoting her gen
ius to perfection of the heavier-than
air craft, Germany, at enormous cost In
men and money, took the lead in the
development of the lighter-than-air
machine. The latest model of battle
airship in the Germany Navy has
speed or 45.7 Knots an hour, carries a
useful load of 14,000 pounds and with
crew and ballast can carry fuel enough
lor 30 hours at lull speed. The ship is
armed with two one-pounders and four
Maxims and has a wireless outfit for
300 miles. Germany has seven of these
battle airships and is building four
more with two to be begun in the near
future.
Great Britain neglected the air prob
em until aroused by the growing air
fleets of France and Germany, and she
has now created an air department
in the Admiralty and War Departments,
a central royal flying school with naval
and military wings. The strength of
the Army corps In April this year was
123 officers and E98 men."
