Blood Donors Unsought in
Russia; Life Fluid Canned
In Russia, hospitals are dispensing
with the need of summoning a volun
tary blood donor when cases of ur
gent blood transfusion arise. Instead,
the patient is given a dose of this
vital effusion out of a tin ! Supplies
of blood of all grades are stocked In
¡lass containers, kept under refrig
eration. Ruthless analysis ensures
the purity of each can, so there is no
danger, as in the case of direct
man-to-man transfusions, of noxious
germs being transferred in the
process.
Doctors in outlying districts requir
ing a transfusion have now only to
communicate the specific qualities of
their patient’s blood to a hospital,
and a tin of the same caliber is dis
patched immediately.
In winter,
some consignments have been landed
over snow-bound areas by parachute.

tion you don’t know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of . .rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it — in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called “ pain” remedies were ad
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without ill effect, nave
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet discovered for the relief
of headaches and all common pains
. . . and safe for the average person
to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store — simply by never
asking for it by the name “ aspirin”
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.

Went Haywire
A young aviation officer stationed
somewhere in Egypt was flying near
the Great Pyramid, carrying out exer
cises in navigation and discovering his
geographical position with a sextant.
After a series of involved calcula

and said, “ Take your hat o ff!”
“ Why?” asked the pilot.

Another Problem
A farmer visited his son’s college.
Watching students in a chemistry
class, he was told they were looking
for a universal solvent.
“ What’s that?” asked the farmer.
“ A liquid that will dissolve any

“ That’s a great idea,” agreed the
farmer. “ When you find it, what are
you going to keep it in?” —Everybody’s
