Canned Blood Idea
Held Failure Here

'pathologist pointed out, that the
only bodies from which blood
could be taken would be those
where violent deaths had occurred
suicides or murdered persons.
The pathologist pointed out
that in view of the scarcity Of
donors for canned" blood pur-
poses, it is more practicable to OBJ
tain blood from live donors, of
whom there are plenty.
Dogs Used in Tests
The experiments in Chicago
were explained recently by Dean
David John Davis, of the univer-
sity medical school, who said that
the work is now being conducted
with dogs as specimens. Blood,
according to the experiments,
would be Canned" in containers
in an electric refrigerator.
Canning" he said, is done
within six or seven hours after
death because the red corpuscles
of the blood remain alive a long
time after death. The blood can
be used in transfusions three or
four weeks later.
Aside from the pathologist here
who had conducted experiments
himself, hospital superintendents
and other pathologists said they
knew nothing of the experiments.

Aubrey Williams, assistant Fed.

the District has been using from

ElWood Street, director Of the

today he will confer with the
Commissioners on the problem
early next week. AS the Situa.
ton stands at present, the Dis

Not such hot idea. How
would you like to be given a trans
fusion from a suicide or a muir
dered man?
Out in Chicago, at the Univer-
sity of Illinois Research Hospital,
experiments are being conducted
with canned" blood, by which
the fluid is taken from the dead
to help the living.
But washington is way ahead
of those experiments. A pathol,
ogist here made experiments
along the same line many years
ago and found it to be imprac-
ticable.
Source Is Problem
The Washington pathologist,
who asked not to be quoted, found
that the canned" blood, which
is said to have been used success
fully in Russia, might we'll lend it

From whom would you get the
blood? It would naturally have to
be sterile. And to be sterile, it
would have to be taken from a
person whose death was not
caused by any kind of disease.
Which leaves very small mar
gin from which to select the dead
blood donors. It would mean, the

Piiable Material.

YHAT Harris can do with Hadley
" is problematical, of course, but
he should find the fatty fatty
boy more pliable material to work with
than were Ruether and Coveleskie.
When the latter came from Cleveland
he was "a years old, while Ruether
was 30 when he reported from the
Dodgers. Hadley, on the other hand,
will not be 81 until July.
Bucky and Grih always were sweet
on Hadley, and still are despite the
fact that Bump hasn't been q 500
pitcher since he left the Nationals in
Sox and Browns in 1892 he won only
IA games while losing 81, leading the
league in defeats. In 1893 he won Is
and lost 20. Both years he was the
widest pitcher in the circuit. Last
season 10 wins and Is defeats was
his record.
Yes. despite these somewhat dreary
records, Hadley still potentially is a
great hurler. When he warns up
rival ball players are wont to gaze in
awe at blistering fast ball. and at
times there is some doubt as to
whether Bump actually threw a curve
or jerked the ball on q cord.
Somewhere there is haw in Bump
Hadleys makeup as pitcher and it
will be up to Harris to detect it and
correct it this Spring.
II this Is possible, and ac-
c0mplished, Bucky Harris may not
have been courting disappointment
quite as much as suspected when
he said recently:
Nothing but the pennant will
satisfy me-"

In 1881 he won 1s and lost II for

Goslin turned in some heroic efforts
