Finally, the Coohdges, remained

TRANSMISSION Fails
A bare fighting chance" was all
the doctors held out. a blood trans
fusion failed to aid Calvin, Jr.
Another complication entered into
the situation about noon-the accu-
mutation of gas in the boys stomach.
An informal statement of his CON
dition given out at 12:30 p. m.
said:
He is still showing wonderful
tenacity, but the situation is rem
dered increasingly grave by the ac-
emulation of gas in the stomach"
AT 1870 there was still no
change in Calvin's extremely criti-
cal condition.
Following the TRANSMISSION, Calvin
rallied slightly but during the early
hours today he suffered three sink
ing spells when the spark of life
almost fliCkered out.
The blood for the TRANSMISSION was
furnished by a member Of the hos
pital corps who is regularly called
on to provide it. His name could
not be obtained.
The fact that the boy survived
the early hours of the morning when
vitality was lowest, was taken as
an encouraging sign of more re.
serve power than was counted on
though he was sustained in three
successful crises by oxygen admin
istrations.
