PART ONE 14 FORD'S BRAZIL RECORD CROWD Gas Company Rescuers Lose Only One Case PLAN REVEALED AT FREE FAIR THE PETROTT FREE PRESS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, HT RESCUE CREW DEMONSTRATION FRANCE AGAINST -f- .7 Bay City Show Closes With Besides Producing Rubber, He I ij VOTES BREAK Cabinet Decides in Specal Session to Ignore Affront by Russian Envoy. Paris, Sept. de- cisinn against rupture of relations with Soviet Russia was taken today by the cabinet in a special ses- -sion at Rambouillet. Soviet Ambassador Rakovsky recently circulated a manifesto calling; upon the troops of all armies to desert to the Red army. Tremendous popular and political clamor arose, and Foreign Minister Georges Tchlcherln of Soviet Russia repudiated Rakovsky in connection with the manifesto.

It was presumed that Foreign Minister Arlatide Brland would arrange quietly for Rakovsky's li i Si natural resplra- lae Only One Instrument. The only Instrument employed by the crew Is called an and lnlayer. Like the pulmotor and lungmotor which It has superseded, it consists of a mask fastened over the patient's face, and a tank which releases oxygen as he breathes. The and mixture is per cent oxygen and 6 per lent carbogen, and Is said to be more stimulating to the respiratlve process than plain oxygen. The lnlayer was Invented by Dr.

Henderson and Dr. Haggard, of Yale university. The carbogen Is merely an aid to the Schaeffer method, and supplements the prone-pressure application. But it is more active than straight oxygen, and leaves the patient In a better physical condition. The rescue service was Inaugurated about 12 years ago by the Gas company to care for their employes who were overcome by gas fumes while at work.

But It haa expanded to care also for such emergency calls as come from the general public. The crew itself does all kinds of emergency work, such as repairing broken mains, or leaks In pipes. The emergency station is at and Noble streets, and is In charge of the chief emergency man, William Rue. Preventatives Listed. Frequently when the rescue squad arrives at the scene of an accident, they find that the police and fire departments have also been called.

In that event, Mr. Richey said, the first crew on the ground goes to work, unless the patient is a Gas company employe, when he Is turned over to the company's crew. To prevent gas fatalities, Mr. Richey emphasized these points: Everyone should know the prone-pressure method. Every odor of Illuminating gas should be investigated.

Water heaters should have flue pipes, to carry off carbon monoxide fumes. No one should work In a closed garage with the motor of the car running. The carbon monoxide generated Is colorless and odorless, and the victim can't tell -when he Is being overcome. "The Gas compsny has taught all our own men the Schaeffer method," said Mr. Richey.

"Each gang that works In gaseous atmosphere is equipped with gss masks. We have reduced to a large extent the number of persons overcome. There have been no fatalities In the current year, and only a few asphyxl-atlons." la continued until tlon is restored. Remarkable Record Shown for Year; 291 Persons Are Given Treatment There are two remarkable items in the record of the rescue that is maintained by the Gas company to answer emergency life saving calls for Its employes and for the public One la the almost infallible success of the crew's methods, provld-Ing they reach the scene of the ao-cident while there Is stUI life In the victim's body. The other Is the simplicity of their methods.

According to figures tn the office of L. K. Rlchey, assistantauperln-tendent of distribution, the rescue crew made 232 calls In 1928, treating 291 persons. Only one case did not respond to treatment, and the crew worked over him for 36 hours. He was an employe who had been working In a basement where gaseous fumes overpowered him.

SnlcUe Attempts. Calls answered by the rescue squad are not all serious, Mr. Richey said. Various causes were ascribed. Some were only dizziness or headache from gas fumes.

Others were victims of automobile fumes, Illuminating gas, electrlo shock, fumes from gas stoves or coals stoves, and there were IS attempts at suicide. The methods employed by this crew of six men and a captain are simplicity Itself. First Is the Schaeffer prone-pressure method of artificial respiration, which is taught in all life-saving classes, and is applied to resuscitate victims of smoke, drowning, gas, and electric shock. The patient is laid prone and the rescuer presses on the small of bis back with his hands, releasing the pressure to the count of normal breathing. This artificial deflation and inflation of the lungs KIWANIANS PLAN STATE MEETING Session at Battle Creek to Noted Speakers.
