GOVERNMENT SCALE
Cordova Mill & Lumber Co.
DALLAS, Texas, May 4.—Aside
from the hazards incident to piloting
an army airplane several thousand
feet above the earth, aviators sta
tioned at the several training fields in
Texas have experienced a number of
freak accidents. While in no instance
have such accidents been fatal to the
young fliers, they have cost the Brit
ish and American governments con
siderable in damage to airplanes.
At Ellington field, near Houston, a
few days ago, a cadet observed an
idle plane resting outside a hangar,
and climbed in the seat for a short
nap. The ship's engine was dead, and
the only live thing about the flier
was the cadet, and he was soon
“catching a wink.” But suddenly
something happened, and when at
tendants disengaged him from be
neath the machine he was taken to
the hospital with a sprained ankle
\
and numerous bruises about his head,
face and body.
I A gust of wind had blown the air
plane upside down, and in the cadet’s
efforts to straighten out what he mis
took for a tail spin he had landed
underneath. The machine was almost
a wreck.
The Royal flying corps, stationed at
the British camps around Eort Wjrth,
early learned that the girl students
at Texas Christian University there
enjoyed their stunts, and they made
daily calls in that vicinity. In his
eagerness to please the girls one
young Canadian airman went too low
and struck a flagpole on one of the
buildings. This caused him to swerve
and land on the roof. The plane was
demolished and the aviator badly
bruised.
At Lake Charles, La., an aviator fell
upon an automobile, killing its driver
and wrecking the airplane. The avi
ator was only slightly injured.
VETERINARY HOSPITAL
FOR CARE HI HORSES
CAMP LEWIS, Wash., May 4.—11
costs money to buy a horse these
days, and the government is almost
as careful about the welfare of the
thousands of steeds supplied' to the
army through the remount depot at
Camp Lewis as it is about the health
of the men in the service.
An elaborate veterinary operating
room has been built, into which horses
with curable ailments are taken t
operations. An operating table is
used which permits the placing of a
horse in any position desired without
injury to the animal, and the room
is kept as clean and sanitary as pos
sible and smells very much like the
operating room of a general hospital
in a large city.
The floors are all of cement and
kept thoroughly cleansed, so as to
prevent any possible Infection. The
horse is strapped into position with
the table top placed in an upright
position and then the top is adjusted
to any angle desired for the sort of
operation necessary. After the opera
tion the horse is placed in a stock
where he cannot move enough to hurt
himself, and as soon as the horse is
able he is turned out into the "con
valescent” ward outside, where fresh
air and limited exercise soon fit the
animal for active service again.
The veterinary hospital has many
wards for different kinds of horse dis
eases, and there is a sort of quaran
tine for the steeds, so that no con
tagious disease is allowed to spread.
In the colic ward the corners are
all rounded out, so that the horse
cannot, become lodged in a corner.
When a horse or mule has the colic
it must be given lots of room. The
animal groans and tosses about on the
ground in agony, and unless care is
taken in construction of the ward it
might injure itself.
Back of the hospital is a sort of
fresh air farm, or sanitarium, con
sisting of a portion of forest fenced
off to give the convalescent animals
forage, exercise and fresh air. A
short time in this lot soon puts the
animal into trim so that it can carry
a pack or go back into the harness of
a wagon train.
SEATTLE, May 4—One million
sphagnum moss surgical dressings
before July 1 is the order that has
been received by J. W. Hotson, as
sistant professor of botany at the
University of Washington and North
west director of moss work for the
Red Cross. Urgent demand for the
dressings caused an increase of the
original order for 50,000 for testing
purposes. An Eastern expert to as
sist in organizing the work in the
Northwest will be sent here soon.
“Auxiliaries composed of moss gath
erers will be formed throughout the
districts where the moss grows,” says
Professor Hotson. “From Alaska |
large quantities of the moss can be j
obtained free of charge. I expect to j
go there soon and locate beds of the
moss.”
Freshmen and sophomore girls at
the university are spending two
hours each week making moss pads.
4 moss pad requires no sewing, but
is made by folding a layer of moss,
a layer of highly absorbent paper and
a layer of non-absorbent cotton on
gauze. The special virtue of moss
dressings is that they are more ab
sorbent than cotton, are cheaper, and
more effective in use, as they will ab
sorb from ten to twenty times their
weight of moisture without becoming
soggy.
