HEALTH NOTES
Austin, Texns. May 4,—May is
the month when most Texans take
n look nt the thermometer, make n
dive for their bathing suits nnd
hunt the nearest swimming pool or
lake. Swimming is n fine sport but
it does involve certain hazards. It
is tragedy enough to have a drown-
ing accident but far greater trag-
edy if no one present knows how to
save life by artificial respiration.
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer, advises that the “Prone
Pressure Method" is the accepted
one for restoring life from drown-
ing. The method involves the fol-
lowing steps:
Place patient stomach down, one
arm stretched nbove the other bent,
with face resting on it.
Rescue measures should begin at
once nnd continue rhythmically un-
til natural breathing is establish-
ed. This may take four or more
hours. The procedure is:
1. Kneel, and straddle the patient
below the hips, placing hand on
small of the back with fingers
over the lowest ribs, tips of fingers
just out of sight.
2. With arms straight, while
counting one, two, swing forwnrd
bearing weight on body firmly but
not violently.
3. Swing backwards while count-
ing one, straightening up and thus
relieving pressure. This allows air
to be drawn into the lungs.
4. Rest in this position for two
counts.
5. Repeat these movements
rhythmically, forward and back-
* wards, without interruption, about
twelve to fifteen a minute, until
natural breathing is restored.
C. Meanwhile, if assistance is at
hand, a physician should be sent
for, patient’s tight clothing should
be loosened nt neck, chest or waist,
and patient should be kept warm.
Patient should not be moved
from this spot until he is breathing
naturally and then should be car-
ried in a lying position to a place
where he can be kept warm and
receive expert medical attention.

Austin.—The political pinwheel,
set off by the Governor’s race,
whirled merrily on in Texas, and
the week-end found these news-
worthy developments: Meetings of
Ferguson supporters, demanding
full payment of $15 pensions to
everybody in Texas over 65, re-
gardless of need, carefully staged
in San Antonio and Dallas, had
caused several hundred letters and
telegrams to be sent “Ma”, seek-
ing to draft her, but spokesman
Jim repeated she “is not a candi-
date”. . . Best guessers here be-
lieved the build-up was to place
Jim in position to throw his sup-
port advantageously to some other
candidate, and did not think the
Fergusons would switch their de-
cision not to enter “Ma”. . . Gov.
Allred told reporters he wouldn’t
get in, even if the Fergusons did,
and said he would be enjoying
Gulf breezes at Galveston during
the summer while other candidates
judges, will have opposition, ac-
cording to announcements which
may, or may not be backed up with
filing fees, when the time comes
to put up the money. . . . Judge
Harry Graves of Court of Crimi-
nal Appeals, whose eligibility has
been questioned in a lawsuit dis-
missed by the court, filed for re-
election, and will be opposed by C.
A. Pippen, of Dallas, a veterun
former judge of the Criminal Dis-
trict Bench there. . . . Gerald C.
Mann, former Secretary of State,
opened his campaign for Attorney
General before a generous crowd at
his birthplace, Sulphur Springs. . .
Mann is generally believed by ob-
servers here to be the best bet for
a runoff in this race against Lt.
Gov. Walter Woodul, whose cam-
paign, reports here indicate, has
been going so well that many doubt
a runoff will be necessary. , . .
