ARMENTROUT GOES UPON
 THE OPERATING TABLE
lFrom Saturdays dailv)

NIl Oiu DdluIu udN QduE
 Edward O. Armentrout last night rested comfortably in the assurance that he had enough vital healthy blood in his veins to justify the de- cision of the surgeons at Whigple Barracks to operate on him today.
 Robert Wolf, a former soldier. now employed in the motor transport corps at the post, lay on an operat- ing table at 2:3O yesterday afternoon while Surgeons Ernsberger and Brooks took from his arm 500 cubic centimeters of blood and transfused it to the arn of the sick man. About one half the required amount of blood was taken, and last night Wolf told surgeons that he did not feel the loss.
 WolFs blood "typcd up" in group .III. said to be a rare case, as most normal peoples blood is in group TIT.
 Miss Davis, the Los Angeles nurse who offered to come to Prescott and give her blood was reported by the Los Angeles Examiner last even- ing to have typed in group II, hence her offer was of no avail.
 Miss Marie Kuhnc, a Prescott girl and one of the entrants in the Journ al-Miner automobile vote contest, is said to be satisfactorily typed now. and When Armentrout requires further supply of fresh, healthy blood. her offer may be accepted.
