SAT BRITAIN PRG5B0TED THE ,, ^ IN I«?14 •-- By KATHLjEEN NORRIS IB you know that thou? sands.of our fighting men are being saved by transfusions of the blood sent out to the battle fronts by their friends at home? In the horror of thig war could there be a more wonderful note of Sympathy and comradeship than this, that the life that runs so secure and safe and warm in your veins should be shared with some great fallen giant of a boy, who lies white and Unconscious in a faraway hospital, breathing quietly lower and lower toward death, until the help that YOU send him, from your quiet home town, begins to flow in his veins again? Surely all modern science has given us no greater miracle; that those of us who cannot wear uniforms and sail nway on the great ships can have our actual living part ki the great struggle, through the plasma--the technical name of the fluid part of the blood--which is dried and sent to our sons. But you haven't contributed yet? Why, what do you mean? You have been hearing about it and reading about it, but somehow you didn't ever clearly get it into your head what if was all about, you didn't get 'round to it? Well, then, put this paper down and go telephone Mary Brown, who is one of the higher-ups in the Red Cross. Ask her where the Blood Bank is. And go there tomorrow. Go there, by appointment, of course, four hours after you've eaten a hearty, normal meal. Drink all you want of water and fruit juice in between the meal and going to the Blood Bank, no rich drinks or milk. A Pint of Blood. They prick your arm, at the Blood Bank, and draw off a pint of the blood that means life for some mother's son. Perhaps yours. And that initial prick is all you pay in pain for this experience, and that hour of going and coming is all you pay in time. After the blood is taken they give you a hot drink and a sandwich, and that's ?11 you do for two or three months; when you do it all over again. The blood is evaporated, packed off to the far-flung hospitals of the war fronts, and--as a surgeon-doctor told me, when he came back from Australia a few weeks ago, "just the knowledge that it is there, plenty of it, means the difference between life and death to the doctors." They mix this plasma with water, and pour it into the draining veins of the heroes who are brought in white and unconscious; and the color comes back to those ashen cheeks, and the boy opens his eyes and perhaps mutters a surprised "what's cooking?" Yet I know one eastern city in which three hundred thousand perfectly strong and healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 60 are going about, placidly unconscious that there are such things as Blood Banks. Many of these good folk are the ones who continually say "My dear, I'd be delighted to db something for our men, God knows, but with two boys in school and Harry working so hard, there doesn't seem to be one thing I can dp!" . 80 They Need Not Die. ~ Recently a cargo ship sailed with medical supplies from this same city, the invoice of what was required being fully checked except te one particular. Where the item, **so many pounds of plasma" was \ PAST MASTER You know her. She i» a , master at the art of evasion. No one is more eager to do her part --sometime. If nothing interferes, she will even let you pin her down to a definite promise --to help out the next time you need her. Ancf*no one is more contrite when she fails to appeat. She languishes in appealing weakness when there is blood to be given, then wastes precious energy on alibis when there is work to be done. She smiles, evades the issue, and smiles again. How lucky we are that there are so few women Uke her! listed, the check against it said: "short. Sixty-one per cent." That meant that if that life-giving fluid was destined for the veins of one thousand magnificent boys, lying wounded and faint and bleeding in naval, marine and army hospitals, six hundred and ten would die. Would be condemned to death by you, and your neighbors, and the kids in the nearest college, and the healthy, joyous young things who are flocking to the movies tonight. Now, if you have any influence with women at all, if you belong to a clubs or teach in a school or if youi*. daughter goes off every day to work» in a factory or office with scores of men and women associates, appoint yourself a committee of one to get thfe'message over to them. For this is the great modern miracle, that thousands of the men who die in base hospitals, NEED NOT DIE, and we can save them. When you have contributed your pint of blood1 to the cause, you get a little pin. When you have visited the Blood Bank three times you have a special decoration. And it seems to me that there is no young person in our great country who ought not be ashamed to express ignorance of and indifference to the Blood Bank, and none who will not be proud to wear that decoration. If I were within those stipulated years I would want to be the first of my group to wear it, and if I were a soldier's wife or a young girl I woiild want to have that third-time decoration to show to my husband or my sweetheart when he came home from the war. One Quiet, big, heavy man in our little town, a man burdened with the support of a beloved wife, an> invalided child, an old mother and a baby son--an unassuming man who got.-s to an office every day, faces changing times and war taxes and restrictions with a good deal of humor, never complains--has seven times given his blood to men he will never see or know, men from whom he can never receive - any thanks. Back to Life. This is a real quotation from a real letter by a boy of 22, sent a Her the Wake Island fight to a mother in our town. "When they threw me a rope I'd only been in the water about 15 m]n utes, but I was all mucked-up wHlli heavy black oil and through the oil I could see the blood from my shoulder pulsing out the way a wave would, coming up through a hole in a rock and brimming over, and then sinking back again. It was the darndest thing you ever saw I "A few days latter* when I was sit ting up, I asked the doctor what had happened, and he grinned at me and said: 'Some of your friends at home, Bud, stopped talking about what they'd LIKE to do, and ggve you Back your life.* " Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church Divine Service -- Nine o'clock.

Lively Center of Excursions Tourists were attracted to Mogador on the Moroccan Atlantic coast, the year around by its mild climate and broad bathing beaches. It was a lively center of excursions to contrasting interior regions of rugged mountains,* swift streams and fertile valleys of olive groves and orchards. Mogador was built in 1764 as a rival oort to Agadir and as a harbor for\|he war vessels of the sultan of Morocco. France seized the town in 1844, yielded possession in 1906 to brigands, and then ousted the captors by naval action. Horses Wanted I B U Y Old and Disabled Horses. 'Pay from $5 to $11 -- ARTHUR W.
