dix dial—add some soap—then

the Bendix again it does the

up an injured man and go ra-
cing off with him to a hospital.
You might cause his death. Frac-
tures that are simple might
cause the bones to penetrate the
flesh, stick out through the skin
and become infected. Intact spi-
nal cords have become injured
by unskillful handling, and the
patients have been rendered par-
alytics.
in case of an accident, the
onlookers seem to be possessed
with the sole idea of getting the
one who is hurt to a doctor. It
is best to get an ambulance,
when possible, or to phone or
send for a doctor. Then await his
arrival. It require^ knowledge
and skill to handle a badly in-
jured person.

If you have a party-line telephone,
here’s a suggestion•••
Party-line service is best when everyone on the line is thought-
ful and courteous. You can get the most value from your
party line by doing these simple things:
1. Keep your calls short and space them
as much as possible. That will give the
other fellow a chance to call, or be called.
2. Hang up quietly if the line is in use
when you try to call. Wait awhile before
calling again.
3. See that everyone in the family does
his or her part at observing party-line
