Drama In the Cities.

THE background Of great drama today
lies in the large American cities.
according to Edmund Goulding, filn
director, writer and musical composer.
Here you will find society, culture,
money, poverty, longing, industry, hate.
revenge, laughter, opera-an the ingre-
dents that go to make up good fiction"
says this motion picture figure, who
now is directing his own story, '"The
Devils Holiday" with Nancy Carroll
starred.
IT do not say that drama cannot be
found In what is known as the hinter-
lands" says Mr.. Goulding. MANY
stories always will come from the farms,
the tiny villages, the desert and the
Western plains, but real living drama
Is not as plentiful in these spots as In
the cities.
"In large towns you will find all types
OF people. You even find the same per-
sons as on the farms, in the backwoods
country or on the Western plains. The
city has practically everything q weaver
Of stories requires"

Gently furnished with rugs and period
furniture, and hundreds of costly hats

The street as placed on the stage Is
wide enough for three vehicles to pass
abreast. Scores of large trees were up

hundreds Of players were employed to
walk up and down the street to give
the atmosphere Of busy Partisan
thoroughfare.

It seems that Flo Ziegfeld Is trying

Of course, that Paramount will have to
dissolve her from services in the movie

about the only hitch to the whole
transaction.
If Clara becomes "glorified," she will
be the first motion picture star to travel

ORIENTAL thrillers are said to be
more effective than those laid In
other parts Of the globe, because GRIM
inals of the Far East have built up
regulations for using novel and subtle
means Of committing dark deeds. At
least, so thinks Warner GLAND, VINO is,
perhaps, the best-known portrayer OF
Oriental roles in the show world.
Warner also says:
1.-THE Oriental is essentially peace
love-, honest, law abiding and subdued,
but when the few who have criminal
instincts begin operations they have the
innate urge to be subtle and different,
perhaps as q perversion of the pre-
vailing Oriental art Of understatement.

the Oriental q repression unknown to
its younger races" he continued. $50

on Molnar's 1.-THE Swan" which, on the
stage, gave Eva La Galienne the chance

Ian in the role Of the lovelorn Alexan-

blood test in determining the paternity
OF children in contesting divorce
cases. The blood from the mother,
from the child, and from the sups
posed father is all taken. BY coni-
pairing the samples it can sometimes
be told from whom the child has in
herited its blood. All bloods may be
divided into four groups. In case the
four tests belong to the same group
ing of blood or in cas- the two sus-
pected fathers both have the same
kind Of blood, nothing can be de-
termined.
Many parasites inhabiting the blood
may be detected. by the m~icroscopical
examinations. The most common
parasites to be found in the blood arc
those Of malaria. In some of the
tropical countries an organism known
as the trypanosoma or the parasite
sleeping sickness may be present in
the blood. Sometimes in tropical
countries blood a be found contain
ing quantities of a small worm called
the filaria sanginis honinis.
The blood can also be tested for the
Wassermann and Widdel reaction. In
this way the doctor may be able to
determine the presence of diseases
which might otherwise only be sus-
pected. My readers know that in this
column I have often warned them
against accepting snap diagnoses
without careful tests and you can see
from reading this article how i'm.

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1930-05-15
BLOOD EXAMINATIONS ARE
IMPORTANT

Every good physician considers
blood tests Of the utmost Importance
as an aid in making diagnoses. You
will realize how important the blood
is when you consider it the principal
method Of providing nourishment and
drainage to practically every living
cell in the body.
Contrary to the opinion of many
people, taking a blood test is neither
painful nor dies it require the loss
Of much blood. In order to obtain
the blood a sample is usually taken
from the end Of the finger or the lobe
of-the ear. The part is first cleansed
with alcohol and dried. Then a small
puncture is made with a special in
strumeut which cuts through the skin
With no more pain than that from
the prick Of a pin. The blood is then
squeezed through the opening as the
doctor presses just below and samples
Of the blood collected in sterile pip
cites. After a few drops of blood
have been removed, the spot is again
sterilized and covered with some pro-
tective substance so that no germs
can enter and is in this way, guarded
against infection.
One of the usual tests made is to
compare the color of the sample with
the right shade for normal, healthy
blood. If the color is too low it is
an indication that the hemoglobin of
your blood is not plentiful enough. The
color is expressed in percentage,
thus the normal blod may be said to
range from IS per cent to 100 per
cent. The hemoglobin Of the red
cells gives them the special ability to
absorb oxygen. When the hemoglobin
is reduced it means that the cells of
your body do not obtain as much
oxygen as they should.
Usually the next step is to make a
smear, that is, q small amount of
blood is put on a glass slide and al
lowed to dry. This is then placed
under the microscope so that the cells
can be distinguished and counted. In
this way it may be found whether
the cells are in the normal range of
color, shape and size. The tompar-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
White Patches on Tongue

tongue and the lining of my mouth

branches leading from them. I have
tried all kinds of treatments, but seem
to be getting wors all the time. !
believe the doctor calls it "eukapleka."
Answer: There is a disease called
leukoplakia buccalis, commonly called
linqual corns. This disease resembles
psoriasis in some respects and usually
responds to the same type of diet.
The trouble Is often brought on by
some local irritation in the mouth,
such as sharp points of teeth. n
should be corrected as soon as pos.
sible, as there is some danger of cpl
thelial or skin cancer developing. It
is a good plan to use q citrus fruit

slightly below normal, then you could
have some local treatments to the
growths, such as touching them with
nitrate of silver or electrical cautery.
They are not likely to recur If you
have your teeth corrected and thor
oughly cleanse your blood stream.
Contracting Tuberculosis

ing this disease, and if so what cauI
ton should I take?"
Answer: It is possible to contract
tuberculosis by associating with some>
m who has this disease, but this Is
not likely to occur If you guard your
health carefully and avoid becoming
overtired. Osler, the great medical
authority, claims that tuberculosis
cannot be contracted by breathing
the expired air Of a consumptive.
However, all persons affected with
this disease should use every sanitary
method in disposing Of sputum.

probably looked on it simply as a stunt-diverting and
daring, but Of no practical value.
Now, however, it develops that the army officers who
trained their men to do that sort of thing knew what
they we're about.
The other day a tri-motored army transport plane was
soaring along near Fresno, Calf, when a propeller
went to pieces and ripped open a wing. There were
eight men in the plane. Six of them promptly jumped
out, opened their parachutes and floated down to earth
unframed. The other two stuck by the ship-and man
aged to land it without hurting themselves. But the
point of the matter is that this six-handed jump proved
that it was something more than a stunt.
