The new National Blood
Program is designed to furn-
ish whole blood and, in time,
blood derivatives for all who
may require them. The entire
cost Of collecting, processing
an distributing blood and
blood derivatives will be met
by the Red Cross, the only cost
to q patient being such fees as
may be charged by the physi-
clan or hospital in connection
with administration of the
blood or blood products.
AS modern medical practice
calls for greater quantities Of
blood in the treatment of di-
sease or in surgery the de-
mands have outstripped the
capacity of private or CONNER
cial blood banks. Even when
whole blood is procurable
commercially, the cost may be
beyond the means Of most
families. It is to bridge the gap
between need and supply that
the Red Cross has launched
its peacetime National Blood
Program.

announced today.
Upon the request of health
officers the Red Cross will al
so make available immune SER
UNI globulin derived from a
part of the surplus plasma.
Immune serum globulin is
the blood fraction used for pre-
vention or modification of
measles. It's use reduces the
danger OF serious complied
tions such as heart impair
ment, Kidney damage, pneu-
monia and deafness. More
than 100000 units Of this sub
stance have already been dis
tributed by Red Cross. It has
been especially effective in
control of serious outbreaks Of
measles which struck several
sections of the country during
the last few months.
Among other blood deriva-
tives now undergoing clinical
study are serum albumin and
anti-hemophilic globulin.
Serum albumin is also prov
ing valuable in the treatment
OF certain kidney diseases and
is undergoing investigation to-
determine its usefulness for
other purposes.

capital Of the Negro republic in
West Africa, Jay Monaghan, state
historian in charge Of the Illinois
State Historical library, announ-
ced today.
The memorial is being pre-
pared by committee named by
Governor Dwight H. Green, of
which Monaghan is chairman.
The memorial consists of three
parts, only one Of which remains
to be completed.
The three parts of the exhibit
are a bronze life-mask of Abra-
ham Lincoln, five by eight foot
mural, and facsimilies of histor-
ic papers pertaining to Liberia.
The originals Of these papers
are in the Illinois State Histor-
ical Library and most of them
are in the Lincoln collection.
The papers will be arranged in
in a display case which, with
the mural, will be framed in ma
hogany and bamboo, native Lib

to constitute a single compile
mentary unit.
In emphasizing that it is par
ticularly appropriate for the
gate Of Illinois to undertake
such memorial. Governor

Was almost entirely responsible
for United States recognition OF

in the next few years it was not
until 1862, after Lincoln became
President, that America granted
recognition. Lincoln's recon-
mendations on this are shown
in the papers to be made a part
of the memorial.
The life-mask bust of. Lincoln
