BLOOD TRANSMISSION
One of the Many Wonders Of the
War

One of the many wonders of the
war (now happily past) has been the
increasing employment of TRANSMISSION
of blood to save severely wounded
men.
In the great casualty clearing sta
tions, says the London Daily Mail,
may be seen vessels containing a sup
ply of human blood for this noble
purpose. The blood is freely given
by men at the front, who find that
! they are none the worse for the loss
of it, and are technically known as
donors"
A full account of the methods en-
ployed is given in Messrs. Wallace &
Flaser'.s Surgery at Casualty
Clearing Station" (Black, los. Cd.
metz, which is an intensely interest
ing book even for the lay reader.
Practical tests have shown that
there are four distinct classes of
blood, distinguished according to
their coagulating properties The
wrong kind of blood may kill. But
when the right kind is injected the
dying man returns to lift.
"Many cases in these classes (of
severe loss of blood) hitherto con-
sidered as inoperable, and others as
exceedingly bad surgical risks, may
often be revived to degree which in
sures a good prospect of ultimate re-
covery. Again, where an ojeration
has been performed and there has
been a great shock, blood transfu-
tsione is4a ent-feature of ilal-
mense value"
The steel helmet appears to have
fully justified itself in war. With
It's introduction, say the authors,
"the relative number of head
wounds has been reduced, and the
proportion of penetrating, as COM
pared with penetrating wounds
has been diminished" Moreover, it
has been observed during the war
that head injuries when skillfully
treated do not necessarily cause the
serious after consequences that used
to be feared.
Perhaps one of the most curious
discoveries of recent years is that
brilliant green dyes have the prop
erty of killing bacteria, but in some
instances this property seems soon
to pass. off when they are applied to
a wound

Mrs. Astor did not see Lieut.. Astor
although he was stationed near by,
because, as she said, they were both
too busy. But that didn't mean that
the young American society leader
lacked for masculine company. For
thre were the dances, for one thing.
There were always a dance at some
camp or other, where several thous-
and soldiers would gather around the
few dozen girls who had been re-
qulsioned by the camp commander
for the occasion. There was much
rivalry and much cutting in, that
good American institution by which
one man may steal another's partner
and keep her-until somebody else
cuts in and whirls her away This
might have been tiresome for the
girls in question but for one thing:
the "leathernecks" and gobs,accord-
ing to Mrs. Astor, are exceptionally
good dancers, and never once did a
hobnail spoil the party.
Mrs. Astor is now Urging that the
work of the Y NJ c. A. be continued.
II have seen the magnificent work
of the organization, she said, sand
| know the need for its activities is
still great. 1t has been a splendid
big brother to the soldier. There
may have been local failures, but on
the whole. its work has been big and
broad and of immense value to the
Fighters"
