TO get BLOOD TEST
Classification to Make Re-

More Prompt.

Every member Of the police and

prising 1.723 men and women, is to
have hls blood tested and record
Of the result kept In the office OF the
board OF surgeons, so the medical Of
ficers will know upon whom to call
should a TRANSMISSION operation be
necessary to save the life OF an in
jured member of either force.
The need for such a record was
first brought to the attention Of the
board Of surgeons when Policeman
Leo Reilly was badly injured last
Halloween: a tran TRANSMISSION ,n ,I,s operation aio,a
his life and 1t was necessary for the
surgeons to call ten men from their
beats before they found one whose
blood would mix with that of the
sufferer.
Four Blood Groups.
Medical science has discovered that
there are four different groups of
each other BY testing the blood OF
each member Of the departments and
keeping the record in the Office Of

both departments. the medical OFF,

comparing notes. A mistake which
might be committed in the haste OF
examining volunteers in the operat-
ing room. would prove fatal to the
patient.
AS result Of information to this
effect laid before him by DR.. Borden.
MAI. Sullivan today issued orders that
all precinct captains were to have all
members Of their stations at their
headquarters on given dates and at
specified hours. DR.. o. B. Hunter. one
of the best known technicians in
Washington and a member Of the
stan Of George Washington Hospital,
will take the tests.
Mai. Sullivan's order makes it man.
datory for all officers to present them
selves. but DIR. Borden pointed out
that the operation Is painless and
takes but minute. Only one drop
of blood is necessary for the test, and
any pain will be less than that of a
