AmneSia Victim Learns
Identity of Old Scar

BELLEVItLE, lll.-UP-Seven-
teen years ago a young mechanic
living in Saltwater. Okla, was In
jured and suffered an attack of
amnesia. When he was able to re-
turn to work he could not recall
his name, so he became Charles
Brown.
He began working for a petro-
leum company, married and had
two children. Several years later
he was transferred by his com
pany to Dupo. Ill.
Years after that he met a man
on the street to whom he looked
familiar. They began talking. The
man told Brown he was Vern
Creath Of Murphysboro, H., and
proved It by an old scar.
Brown has filed a petition in cir
cult court to change his name and
that Of his wife and children to
Creath.

NAMES

Young man, has it occurred TO
you that If your pals should sug-
gest that you accompany them on
a blind date and the field be
your choice. you'll probably ask
for Joan il you want a girl who is
young and good-looking. Linda for
sophistication. Mary for religious
consolation. Maize for a one-way
conversation-that Is Maize will
talk and you listen.
SO says Nathan Schoenfeld, as
sistant in Columbia University's
department Of psychology. in his
report on the likes and dislikes
people have FOR certain names.
Schoenfeld polled 800 individuals
about their attitudes on 90 mascu-
line and feminine names and It
was agreed that their ideas as to
the character Of the names were
very similar.
According 70 Schoenfeld. most
people questioned think Rex ath-
letic. Cuthbert. good.looking.
Agatha seems middle aged; Ad-
rian. the artistic type; Edward
friendly and Austin. cultured
Although more than $50 persons
associated the trait 'good-looking'
with Richard, II is hardly probable
that this large group all knew
handsome Richards. Where these
general or stereotype ideas origi-
nate is a matter for discussion
Perhaps they are fashion and
change with the times At any
rate. they can hardly be accepted
as truth when Il comes to names.

Answer: No, this is an old and

was that they caused acidity, but
as a matter Of fact. the vegetables

which can be used Immediately
for blood transfusions in case Of
emergency. have heard Of a num-
Der Of people who have been very
much perturbed because in Mid
Western cities no such blood banks
have been established, but it must
be remembered that for some time
hospitals have been preparing for
emergencies Of this kind.
For an ordinary blood transfu-
sion blood is removed from the
vein Of a donor and put in the vein
of the patient or recipient. This
means whole blood-plasma and
red cells. Unless this blood is
typed properly, there will be an
accident.
Right Type Essential
Blood is typed in two particu-
lars: the serum of the donor is
mixed with the cells OF the recipi-
ent. These are then observed to
see whether they clot-aglutina-
tion-or whether the one dissolves
the other-hemolysis. In either of
these events the tipping is not
proper. 1t is therefore necessary
in any blood TRANSMISSION to know
that the type Of blood of the donor
and the recipient fit.
| have heard, TO show the eff
cheney of the German army, that
whole regiments are put together
Of the same blood type so that if
blood transfusions are necessary,
they can be done Immediately,
without tipping, from any man in
the regiment.
Now most hospitals have list
Of blood donors, several hundred
in number, who have been typed
and who are available and who are
willing to be used in case of emer-
gency. This will take care of any
emergency likely to occur, short
Of actual emergency warfare.
Kinds of Blood Banks
But this has nothing to do with
what is known as a blood bank.
In one kind, called plasma bank,
blood is removed from a donor,
typed and centrifuged in an anti
coagulant mixture so that it is
ready for immediate use.
This has no red blood cells in it,
but because it replaces blood mass
it is very valuable in shock. An
other form called the serum bank
is simply the serum Of blood which
has been allowed to clot and then
the serum is decanted off. This is
not considered as efficient as the
plasma bank, however.
A third form is the dry plasma,
which is the easiest to keep and
preserve, but pathologists Of my
acquaintance are not all agreed as
to the usefulness and harmless
ness Of the dried blood plasms.
The plasma banks are put in a
refrigerator and used cold as it
has been found that they are less
dangerous in a refrigerated state
than at body temperature. The
difficulty with the plasma bank is
the amount Of refrigerator space
which is required. In the refriger-
ator. the plasma blood bank appar-
emily keeps indefinitely. | have
known them to be used five or six
months after the blood was drawn
without doing the recipient any
harm.
Undoubtedly in the near future
in all communities such blood
banks will be available and know
there is great deal of activity in
the medical profession to see that
such banks are provided so that
any anxiety on this score can be
allayed.
