A laboratory IN democracy, Where
Judy O'Grady and the Colonel S
Lady donate blood to save lives on
the fighting fronts, is causing free
dom-loVing people to put ideals into
practice at the Red Cross blood
bank here.
In their attractive new donor
center at the corner of Twenty
third and c streets NV, District
Red Cross personnel have a story
to tell, not only of the reaction of
some 1900 persons here to Pearl
Harbor and Bataan Peninsula, but
of democracy exemplified in the
collective rolling up of sleeves to
help win the war. %
Here one finds the wife of a
British admiral, the wife of chief
petty officer of the Navy, a Bel
gian countess and the daughter of
a Netherlands naval attache giving
their services along with volunteers
Of the Red Cross Gray Ladies, Wo-
mems Motor Corps and staff as
SistantS.
The millionaire and the poor man
alike have given donations to hast
Ell American victory with women
as usual making the most Sacri-
fees. Whether it is because Wash
ington is thronged with young
women Government workers who
have relatives or friends in the
armed services or their loved ones
have been killed or wounded. the
fact is that women constitute the
majority of those giving donations
here.
Donors Derive Thrill.
They derive positive thrill out
Of giving blood to save lives re-
marked Mrs. Dorothy Mason Wal
ton 1901 Argonne place NV. in
charge of the Red Cross blood
bank. 1T is hard to hit on a
slogan that really tells the story.
Ny own idea is that. by the indi-
vidual doing so little, the Red Cross
can do so much"
These people are a cross section
of American life Members of Con-
greSs, high Government officials
and those unable to 'buy Defense
bonds are finding common work
under the Red Cross banner.
For example, a young girl of
slender build not satisfied to make
one donation made three trips, each
time giving a half pint of blood
She has three brothers in uniform.
There is Darrell Lightbourne,
born a British subject, now a nat
uralzed American. Over the last
20 months, he has achieved a rec
ord not equalled here. He has
given more than gallon of his
blood in nine donations. Mr.. Light
bourne. who lives at 1000 Brandy
wine street NV, celebrated the
receipt of his citizenship papers two
months ago with another donation.
Mr.. Lightbourne is being crowded
by Ensign Robert D. McMillen of
the Naval Reserve. Since September
1910. Ensign McMillen. a splendid
physical specimen, has given eight
donations and shares membership
with Mr. Lightbomne in the ultra
exclusive gallon class"
The day after it was announced
that his father. a major in the
Marine Corps, had been taken pris-
oner by the Japanese at Wake Is
land, a prep school student here
went 10 the Red Cross bank.

Built by Jay Gould in the gilded

discovered that 1t had only one
track, insufficient to meet the de-

Known since then as Goulds

stood unused for many years, on
the corner OF Liberty Ave. and

The less magnificent offices in the

a lavish construction containing
immense pillars OF green, white
and amber marble, carved medal

hanging overhead, stairway

When the Wabash station was

several weeks to clean up the dirt,
cobwebs and litter which had gath
