Hero, One of the Northwest's great heroes is husky, hearty Frank Dorbandt. He has rushed serum to many a stricken Eskimo, carried antitoxin to many an ailing Indian, flown many a sick white to far-off hospitals. In 1930 he risked his life in an air search for his onetime flying mate, the late Carl Ben Eielson. In 1932 he made headlines by landing Father Bernard Hubbard inside the smoking volcano of Aniakchak. A longtime fur trader, Hero Dorbandt lately was accused by the Federal Government of smuggling pelts into the U. S. Last month in Seattle...
After two years of research at Yale, Dr. Solly Zuckerman, Oxford zoologist, last week reported that the blood serum proteins of Old World monkeys are closer kin to the corresponding human proteins than to those of New World monkeys. Thus was Sir Arthur's tree upheld in outline, but the discovery seemed to indicate that the Old World monkey branch should be moved up the main stem, farther from the New World monkey divergence, closer to the human fork...

Persons may be inoculated against bubonic plague. The use of serum in the first few hours of the disease reduces the mortality rate...
Grand Canary (Fox). In show business "Canary" means soprano, but this picture is not about a musicomedienne. Its hero is another Hollywood reliable, the downhearted doctor.

Morbidly discouraged, he boards ship for distant ports. At sea he meets Lady Mary Fielding (Madge Evans), returning to her husband in the Canary Islands...
...blood. His method is to break down the bovine hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells which carries oxygen throughout the body. This cell-free hemoglobin Professor Amberson mixes with Ringer's solution, common table and other salts in distilled water resembling the constitution of blood serum. Cats perfused completely with Dr. Amberson's blood mixture have lived as long as 36 hours. Then they died because the cell-free hemoglobin changed to methemoglobin which cannot carry life-giving oxygen to suffocating body cells. One of Professor Amberson's problems, before such artificial blood can be widely...
