HORSES GIVING BLOOD
TO SAVE WAR VICTIMS

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. GUAR
tered on some of the finest pasture
land in Michigan, at Rochester, near
Detroit, and maintained in life of
luxury and ease, a drove of magni-
fcent horses are daily giving their
blood to save the lives of soldiers
fighting on the battlefields of Europe.
These animals have no other purpose
in life-they merely give their blood
that the soldiers may live.
The horses are the property of
Parke, Davis & Co., of Detroit, the
largest drug manufacturing concern
in the world. They are used to pro-
duce anh-tesetanic serum, which is
administered TO prevent and cure the
dread disease tetanus. The entire
output of the anti-tesetanic serum
manufactured by the Parke Davis
company from the blood of their
horses, is now shipped to Europe for
injection into the soldiers suffering
or threatened with tetanus.
During the month of October, the
Parke Davis company shipped to the
battlefields of Europe more than ten
times as much of the serum as is
normally exported.
The method of manufacturing the
serum is complicated and the process
takes more than nine months from
start to finish. Briefly, the method
is this:
vegetable plants, are propagated on a
large scale in the Parke Davis lab
oratories. These germs are then plac-
ed in large receptacle about 40 feet
square, which is filed with beef soup,
or bouillon, manufactured from beef
and glucose. This mixture then is
covered with sterile oil to prevent air
from getting at the germs, and per-
mitted to stand for three weeks, dur
ing which period the tetanus germs
multiply into the millions. These
germs excrete poison
The next step in the process is the
liberation of the mixture through pa
per and unglazed porcelain. This op-
Grafton eliminates the germs and
leaves poisonous soup.
This mixture Of poisonous soup is
then injected into the horses at Roch-
ester. AT the same time. anti-toxin
is injected to neutralize the effects
of the poison. These double injec-
tons are repeated. at periods of about
one week, for three months, when
the horse is immunized. The bleed
ing process then begins. Each AMI
mhl is bled from the jugular vein
about once every month. an average
Of two gallons Of blood bsing taken

Articles of incorporation for the
Durango Film Producing company
have been filed, and the new enter

in this portion of the Centennial
state.
The promoters of the enterprise
recognize that nature has layished
everything on this section that COM
bnes To make an ideal location for
film producing company. The
scenic grandeur is not excelled any
place on the globe. The Cliff Dwell
ings, Aztec ruins and other features
of historic interest are close at hand.
Nearby are the Indian reservations,
the largest hot springs in the world.

but greatest of all the exuberant,
eternal sunshine that bathes the
mountains and valleys about $50 days
out of the year, and makes it possi-
BILE to produce quality of pictures
here that cannos be equaled else
where.
Nothing is wanting for the typical
western setting, neither is anything
lacking to make the best pictures of
the material at hand.
The eastern representative of the
company. c. B. Garrison, of the Gar
rison Film company of New York,
resided in this vicinity about 80 years
ago. and at that time was connected
with the First National bank Through
the years the beauty of the country
has never lost its grip on him, and
he recognized that as commercial
asset for the business the film COM
pany will follow, it can not be i'm
proved upon. Mr.. Garrison is in po-
sitiou to manage the sales end of the
business to the best possible advan-
tage to all concerned, and to pur-
Shast equipment ~ VIC uioSt ieaSoh-
able rates.
Arrangements have been made for
company of leading movie actors,
numbering about 20, and it is ex-
peeted they will arrive in Durango
early in February to enter upon the
work. They are all persons who COM
mand the highest salaries in their
line and their presence will add ma
terially to the prosperity of our town.
The enterprise will require the SER
vices of many local people in various
capacities
1t is the purpose of the company
TO cover a radius of many miles. In
deed, its geographical scope will be
from the JicaIilla Apache reservation
to the natural bridges in Utah and
from Telluride to the home of the
Navajoes.
For the city work, the building re-
Gently vacated by the Gibson Lumber
company has been leased for a period
of five years and the work of fitting
it up as studio will commence at
once.
Fred Davy, well known to all resi-
dents of the southwest, is directing
operations here. and is in position to
give further information regarding

great grief to refugees forced to seek
the safety of British soil. The law
requires all dogs to be held in quar-

can be given liberty in England and
officials at ports of entry have no au-

Belgian women and children saved
their dogs when war drove them from
home and managed to keep their pets
through all the rush and scramble of
the exodus, but when they reached
Folkestone, Dover or other ports of
entry they were told that English
laws. would not admit animals which
were not held for six months. One
