Red Cross Demonstration of 
First Aid 
On Tuesday afternoon at a large 
meeting of the Woman’s Aid of the 
Beverly Hospital, held at the Misses 
Loring’s residence, Pride’s Crossing, 
five members of the Manchester Red 
Cross First Aid class gave a most in- 
teresting demonstration of first aid. 
Mrs. L. W. Carter, Mrs. John Bak- 
er, Miss Alice Clark, Miss Lena Jones 
and Miss Fannie Knight were the 
representatives of the Manchester 
class, and one of the boy scouts, Sid-, 
ney Baker, kindly acted as subject. 
The first aid to be given after five 
different kinds of accidents was il- 
lustrated. Mrs. Carter announced the 
nature of each accident and as the 
others demonstrated the aid, she gave 
explanations that added to the inter- 
est of the exhibition. 
The first accident described was as 
follows: 
A boy had fallen from a cherry tree, 
broken his right wrist, nis left leg be- 
low the knee and was suffering from 
shock. After being restored to con- 
sciousness aromatic spirits of am- 
monia were given as a stimulant, then 
a pillow splint used on the leg and a 
small board with the wrist bandage. 
The proper manner of lifting the boy 
and the utilization of a blind for a 
stretcher were also shown. 
The boy scout in kindling a fire in 
camp had been badly burned about the 
face. In this case picric gauze cover- 
ed with absorbent cotton and the trian- 
gular bandage were used,—such sup- 
plies as these being generally contain- 
ed in the boy scouts’ first aid pouch, 
prepared by the Red Cross. 
The resuscitation of a person who 
had been drowned and the stopping 
of arterial bleeding from a severe cut 
on the wrist were demonstrated. In 
a case of a broken thigh and collar 
bone a broom handle was used with 
the padding of a sweater. The brush 
part of the broom provided the pad 
under the arm necessary for the treat- 
ment of the broken collar bone, as the 
breaks were both on the right side. 
Though a Red Cross First Aid: box 
G. E. WILLMONTON 
Attorney and 
Counselor at Law 
was on hand, simple articles to be 
found in every household were used 
as far as possible like brooms, pillows, 
blinds, handkerchiefs, ete. 
The members of the Manchester 
class were applauded and compliment- 
ed on their excellent work and it is 
hoped that this autumn Red Cross 
First Aid classes will be organized in 
Beverly. Manchester is to be con- 
gratulated on having a number of wo- 
men in the community who under Dr. 
Blaisdell’s careful instruction are 
capable in case of accidents to be of 
such valuable aid. 
On Saturday, September 6th, a 
competition will be held at Manches- 
ter between teams of the Manchester 
class and it is hoped teams represent- 
ing classes from Milton and North 
Attleboro. A United States army 
surgeon will attend to act as judge. 
Medals will be awarded to each mem- 
ber of the winning team and special 
certificates to those of the second and 
third teams in the contest. 
Papers favorable to Benton for 
governor on the Republican _ ticket 
have been in circulation the past week, 
—the,only papers we have seen thus 
far. The primaries will be held in 
September. 
Mrs, Eben Baker of Summer street 
is leaving Saturday for a visit to her 
former home in Prince Edward Is- 
land, where she has not been for many 
years. She will spend August there. 
One of ler twin daughters is night 
operator at the telephone office, the 
other will spend the month with her 
aunt in Boston. 
Miss Alger has resigned as teacher 
in the commercial department of the 
Story High school and has accepted a 
position with the High school at So. 
Norwalk, Conn., which is a_ school 
with nearly 5co pupils, and with four 
teachers in the commercial depart- 
ment. Miss Alger, we understand, is 
to be-the head of the department, the 
position carrying a much larger salary 
than that offered at. Manchester.

The postponed band concert last 
Tuesday evening, by the Salem Cadet 
Band in the square at Manchester 
proved a big attraction, the entire 
square being filled with people. The 
streets were lined on either side with 
autos, most of them from neighboring 
towns and cities. It is estimated that 
there were at least seventy-five cars 
and that fully 2,000 people were, in 
the square. It was a beautiful night 
and Cond. Missud put on one of the 
best programs of the season. For 
such a large crowd there was unusual 
good order, which reflects slightly on 
the excellent manner in which Chief 
of Police Sullivan and his men can 
care for such a crowd in such a small 
space. These concerts are means of 
wonderful good for Manchester and — 
are, we believe, thoroughly appreciat- 
ed by the people. The next concert 
will be Thursday of the coming week. 
The program is printed elsewhere.

The Manchester drug clerks kept 
up their established reputation last 
night of giving the best dance of the 
season when their sixth annual ball 
was held at the Manchester Town 
hall. In many respects it was a party 
of much class and the two hundred o1 
more who crowded the hall had the 
times of their lives. Between 8 and 
Q a concert by a 12-piece orchestra— 
Carey’s—entertained the early arri- 
vals. The music merited the gener- 
ous applause which it received. The 
dancing started at nine and kept up 
until after midnight. The floor was 
in charge of Edward F. Walsh, and 
George Rust was assistant floor di- 
rector. The aids as printed on the 
neat dance order were: Mrs, Alfred 
Walen, Mr. Walen, William J. No- 
lan, B. L. Allen, H. S. Page; Wm. 
Walsh and Wm. McDirmid. ‘The or- 
der contained 19 dances and three ex- 
tras.
