There is a committee on trans
fusions. The very important
technical point which this COM
mittee must decide is to make
available material for blood
transfusions in large amounts at
any given point. In order to do
this. blood banks must be pre-
pared and collections made of
serum. which often does as much
good as whole blood.
DIFFERENT COMMITTEES

lovely face. She was too
young and ingenious for
Broadway. he thought angrily.
yet here he was-like a sap
driving her to the train to
make the round Of the
agencies.
Once again he cast over in
his mind what he could offer
her in place of a stage
career. He was making a
good thing out of the farm
his father had bought as a
hobby in the lavish twenties.
He had plenty to offer most
girls-but not one vowed TO
the high art of drama.
He regretted the day he'd
rented that old barn TO the
Woodside Players. They, par
ticularly Marion Delmar. had
hypnotized Alice.
Yet, if he hadn't let them
have their Summer theater he
wouldn't have met Alice. She
was a beginner, Shaving with
out pay for the Joy of learn
ing.
Have you any chance at a
job: Everybody says the
stage Is dead" he blurted.
LACKING PULL
Alice looked reproachful,
but she admitted:
Not much chance, I'm
afraid, without experience or
pull. But Marion has told me
the best agencies. OF course
the others have tried, and
only two landed, but"

Always Marion. The Older
woman had turned Alice's
head with stuff about the
sacred art of the theater and
the thrill of your name in
lights. Not that Marion's
name had been there. though
she'd hacked between Broad
way and Hollywood for 10
years.
Il suppose Marion has
given you introductions," he
said bitterly.

She stopped short as though

There's a price for playing

giggled.
That's silly gossip. That

Maybe years ago-but not
now. And he's such a grand

Alice gasped. tears gathered
in her eyes. she patted the
heaving shoulders.

Don't tell me any more,
Marion. 1 understand. OF

Marion dabbed her eyes
until they were dry. then she
looked at the clock. She

she'd gotten a weight off her

said.

After a time Alice went
into the barn where the play
eds were rehearsing their last
play of the season. She
watched them a moment.
They were walking through
their lines rather drearily, as
was natural, since most of
them were worried. The end
of Summer meant the end of
