FREQUENT DONATIONS OF BLOOD POSSIBLE

CHICAGO --tAP)- DonDrs may be able to give blood more often by new technic of rein fusing them with the red blood cells that remain after plasma has been separated, according 70 the ournal of the American Med :cal Association. It reports that six volunteers in New York, Brooklyn and Washington were subjected 10 frequent blood dona- tions, each one followed by a re- infusion of the red blood cells.
 While further studies will. be necessary, the supervising doctors were able to recommend that the practice of reinfusion of red cells into the donors be adopted where there is malnutrition in the do hating population and-or where a large proportion of donors are women"
 Since only the plasma of the blood is needed for he armed forces. the Journal said it might be possible to meet all their plas- ma requirements with greatly smaller number of donors than is

Auto Use Tax Stamps Available For Vehicles


 Auto use tax stamps in the de- nomination of $500 will be placed on sale n all pos offices and most internal revenue offices Sat urday. June 10. Collector Clark Squire announced today
 The stamps will evidence pay ment Of the tax for the fiscal year beginning July l, 1944. They are required to be on cars in ep- eration on hat date
 The new stamps are serially numbered, gunr1ed on the face and have provision or the back for entry of the make, model, serial number ard state license number of the vehicle.
 To guard against loss or theft, Squire suggested that when affix- ing the stamp, the vehicle owner dampen the windshield rather than the adhesive side of the stamp. The lower right hand cor ner of the windshield has been designated by fhe State Patrol as the proper place to affiX the stamp.
 As a special preeaution and to substantiate purchase in ca@ of loss, the collector suggested that each motor vehicle owner make a record of the serial number of his stamp at the time of purchase.
 Every owner of a motor vehicle which will be used on the public highways in July will be liable for payment of this auto use tax for the full fiscal year. Post of fees will sell the stamps over the counter for cash only. Offices of the Collector of Internal ReVe- nue are authorized 10 accept cash, Post Office Money Orders and certified checks in payment of the auto use tax stamp. Uncer- tified checks will not be accepted.
 The collector also announced that post offices will no longer sell auto use stamps in a denom- ination less than $500. Post of- fees will sell the $500 denomina- ton stamps only and motor ve- hicle owners liable for payment of the use tax af4er July for pe- riods of less than the full year must obtain their stamos in lesser denominations from the Collector of Internal Revenue.
 The law requires automobile owners not only to purchase but 10 prominently display the stamps on their motor vehicles. For the sake of uniformity, they are di- rec'ed to affix stamps to their windshields in the lower right hand corner. As in the past In- ternal Revenue deputies will check cars in search of violators.
 Application for purchase of boat use stamps for the new fiscal year are now being mailed to boat owners in this district. The boat tax is determined by the length of the boat. These stamps must be purchased through the office of the collector.

that his approach to native village

one-time sea-going man who dropped
out of sight 80 years ago, during an
expedition into the jungleS of
Nigeria.
