Lyttelton Warns of 80 Day Gravest War Crisis
British Minister of Production Captain Oliver Lyttelton warned in Aldershot that the Axis push in southern Russia could be the German war machine's maximum effort. He said 80 days would be the gravest of the war, risking a victorious German advance into the Middle East and oil supplies if the Caucasus fields fall. Britain and Russia have prepared for the blow and urged war bond purchases.

Story of Spur townsite selection recalled after Willard death
The 1908 selection of Spur Texas as a railroad town is recalled following Daniel Willard of Baltimore’s death. Willard, then Balt imore and Ohio president, chose the site during a prairie visit, with railroad engineer plans and input from Charles A. Jones of the Swenson ranch. The Swensons funded an 83 mile extension, and Dockum might have been Spur's name if protests hadn’t changed it.

Blood Transfusion From Self In Rare Heart Operation
A 19 year old war worker, Stanley Kolbusz of Holyoke, Mass, survived a knife attack in Harlem. Doctors removed blood during surgery and injected it back into his veins to replenish red cells after seven stitches in the right ventricle. The procedure, using the patient’s own blood, is described as extremely rare. The operation was led by Dr. Edward Finestone with Drs. Herbert Weischel and Imre Braun assisting. Finestone narrowly escaped injury when his car overturned en route to Sydenham hospital. The patient regained consciousness and spoke of the incident, while investigators pursue suspects described as three unidentified negroes.
