Traffic and Weather
Are Nearing Normal
As Mercury Rises

Traffic and the weather were back
nearly to normal today and the
Weather Bureau promised a gradual
rise in temperature this week fol-
lowing an ice and sleet storm which
made thousands of persons late for
work yesterday and resulted in num-
erous pedestrian injuries on slippery
streets.
The Weather Bureau said the
thermometer would rise to the high
30S today and predicted a low to-
night of % degrees. Forecast for
tomorrow was increasing cloudiness
and continued cool weather. The
bureau promised warmer weather
later in the week.
Police today listed Joseph S. Dom
aldson, II, of 5l07 Fourteenth street
NV as dead from natural causes
after he was found unconscious in
front of his home. He had collapsed
while cleaning the sidewalk, police
said.
Added to the list of pedestrians
injured in falls yesterday was Lula
Watkins, colored, so, of 1913 M street
NV. She was treated at Gallinger
Hospital for fractured hip follow
ing fall at Macomb street and
Wisconsin avenue NV.
Rush-hour traffic over the High
way Bridge was slowed this morn
ing when a bus skidded in frozen
slush and stalled. Police quickly
unsnarled the jam.
Elsewhere traffic was reported
back to normal as the sun melted
ice. Flights out of National Airport
also were resumed.
Montgomery County school chill
dren, prevented by the storm from
attending classes yesterday, re-
turned to schools today as roads
were reopened and school buses re-

Science Separates
PIasma and Creates
Plastics for Body

BOSTON, Sept. 1.-Two new plas-
tics have been made from the plas.
ma Of Red Cross blood donors BY
Harvard Medical School.
One Is synthetic membrane ol
skin, . thin elastic film which shows
encouraging results In treating hui
man burns. The other is I dark
brown solid, nearly Is hard when
prepared as 4 human rib. which
slowly softens when implanted In
the body, with possibilities In medi-
cal use just beginning to be ex-
plored.
Botn are described In nearly two
dozen current medical reports which
for the first time tell some Of the
story Of one of this wars most
remarkable chemical accomplish
ments, the fractionation, that is,
separation, of human blood plasma
into some of its hitherto mysterious
parts.
Previously announced were the
albumin which the Navy is using in
the same way as whole plasna for
the wounded, the measles serum
used by all the military forces and
now going into civilian medical
practice, the fractions which stop
bleeding Of small vessels almost in
stantly, plastic films used in surgery
to substitute for the hard lining Of
the brain called the Dura, and sub
stances the Navy uses in blood typ
ing.
Plastic Covers Burns.
The plastic membrane or skin be-
ing used experimentally as cover
ing for burns allows healing as
rapidly as by any other known
method. This human plastic can
be removed without pain or tearing
Of the burned surface. When heal
ing Is complete the plastic Aim be-
comes dry and falls of.
In this synthetic skin 1t is pos
sible to incorporate the sulfas, pen
icillin, or other substances of local
value in the healing of burns.
"A physician, telling the Associa-
ton Of Military Surgeons in Phil
Adelptia of his trip through this
Harvard department, said:
"As you progress from room to,
room, you almost expect that in the
next room they will be making a
jeep out Of human blood"
Already 20 of the parts of plasma,
each having a different job in
health, have been separated and
concentrated. In addition the fur
ther division of some of these frac-
tions includes four harmones, two
engines, and antibodies against IA
different diseases.
When Dr. Edwin J. Cohn, head of
the Department of Physical Chem
istry, described the possibilities of
human plasma fractionation to the
American Red Cross and to the Bu-
reau of Medicine of the Navy late
In 1910, the scientific exploration
was essentially complete. The de-
velopment which has resulted in the
building of seven plasma fractional
,tion industrial plants in several
parts of the United States has been
carried out in collaboration with
the Navy under contract between

In 1870, Harvard established and

Of the Psychologist Dewey. thoughts

Later Rockefeller Foundation grants

The staggering task of separating
human blood plasna can be visual
lied If you imagine q human red
blood corpuscle to be the size OF
the Harvard Stadium. Remove the
red and white corpuscles, and you
have left the plasma, made of water
and protein particles. The very

physiological chemists separated

by military forces. They chose to

With 20. or 20, depending on how

This Is the job which the Harvard
laboratory undertook on account OF

the protAins OF plasma for many
years he was asked by scientific
authorities to see what might be
done with animal blood for human

But Or. Cohn and his colleagues

Under the new plan Anchorage would be brought

This is not an important day in
planetary government but there is
sign read as promising good news
from overseas.
HEART AND HOME: Women
should maintain a positive attitude
of mind to avoid depression, for
according to astrology they are to
carry new responsibilities in pub
lie service and they should be pre-
pared for sacrifice and achieve
ment.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Transit
ion from wartime to peacetime in
dustry should be less difficult than
has been predicted by many bust
ness leaders. There is a sign pre-
saying absorption OF unemployed
through the Summer. Agriculture
will benefit through work by stu
dents and returning soldiers.
NATIONAL ISSUES Although
there will be much irresponsible
seeking of amusement in coming
weeks. as escape from the contem-
plation of war tragedies, astrologers
forecast turning to high ideals
in the patterning of life in the
postwar world Through suffer-
ing and sacrifice correct values will
| be put on human aims and oppor-
tunitieS.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS :
AS Summer ends there will be
much to compensate for the ter
rible fighting and great sacrifices
of the United Nations forces to
lcomple ct e defeat of the NaziS.
tTreacherous peace overtures will be
received.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury OF a year OF ac-
tivity and good luck. The stars
smile upon courtship and marriage.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be well-fitted to make a
success of life. Strong bodies and
active minds will assure useful and
