THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY. APRIL 24, 1921. 5 X 1 r. ( Man Gives Blood To Save Life of His Friend's Wife Is Selected From. 60 jVolun. teers Among Fellow Em ployes of Express Com- pany Cashier. When physicians announced Fri day to J. A. Mullaney, cashier for the American Railway Express com pany that a transfusion of blood was necessary to save the life of his wife, 50 men employed by the company responded and volunteered to give up enough blood to make the trans fusion. Blood tests were made on nine men. Hie final test was made on George Blanchard, 28, foreman of express- nen at the Union station, and . Dr. Smart MacDairmid, who was mak ing the tests, announced the result satisfactory. Blanchard was hurried to the Fenger hospital Friday afternoon where the transfusion was made and yesterday Dr. MacDairmid an nounced to Mr. Mullaney .that his wife was recovering from the opera tion nicely and had more than a fighting chance to recover her former health. Mrs. Mullaney has been seriously ill for the last three weeks. Her ill ness had left her too weak to under go an operation which was neces sary to save her life and the blood transfusion was decided upon. "When the boys learned of this, 29 volunteered to give the required amount of blood. Mr. Mullaney said. The 29 volunteers were fol lowed by others until SO had of fered to make the sacrifice. "It was a great test of friendship ind proved that the express boys were not just fair weather friends, but were glad to come through when 1 was in need." After Blanchard had given up three bnd one-half ounces of blood he arose from the operating table, waited at the hospital until the operation on Mrs. Mullaney had been completed, then came back downtown with Dr. MacDairmid. "Blanchanis a big strapping fel low and thooss of the blood didn't seem to have any effect on him," Dr. MacDairmid said. Paving Awards v For 15 Miles of Road Postponed Awarding of contracts for 15 miles of paving of county roads was postponed by the county commis sioners yesterday after they had gone Into executive session to consider the bids. Chairman Unitt announced to the waiting contractors in --trie court house halls outside the commis sioners' room that a telephone mes sage had been received from State Engineer Johnson stating that he could not be present this morning. Set for Monday. . "The law requires that the state engineer he present when contracts , are awarded,", said Mr. Unitt. "Con tracts will he awarded Monday afternoon at 2." Compilations of 4he bids for this . paving opened last"Wednesday show that the1 Hugh Murphy Construction company is low bidder for brick on the five arid a half-miles of Lincoln ' highway to be paved. This com pany's price is $4.39 a square yard, or a total of $246 340.05 for the 56,114 sguare yards in the job. On the five and a .third miles of D-L-D road to be caved this summer the James J. Parks company is low bidder for, brick, this concern's price 1 being $4.65 a square yard, or a total Of $243,013.65. - ; ' i e Pledged to Brick!

It adorned the brow and silvery locks of Charles C. Cunningham, Omaha manager of the Woodward & Tiernan company of St. Louis. It bore a limber brim that un dulated gracefully in the breexe, and was festooned with a rich, brown band. Mr. Cunningham and the late Rev. T. J. Mackay used to vie with each other to see who'd wear the first straw hat in Omaha each year. "Dr. Mackay generally appeared April 10 in a straw hat," explained Mr. Cunningham, "but I used to wai.t until April 20. 'Twas too cold that day this year, so 1 put off the occasion until today." 'No Woman Has Helped My Girls,' Says Widower Father Trying to Raise Three Motherless Daughters Makes Bitter Complaint on So ciety to Juvenile Judge. A father's plight in raising three motherless children, with no woman to help guide them, was unfolded in juvenile court yesterday. Dallas Majors, 2709 South Twenty seventh avenue, his voice choking with sobs, told the story, arraigning society for its failure to help him. "No woman has stepped foot in my house for four years to help my little girls. When they come, they come only to criticize, not to help," he told Judge Sears. "I've heard there were nurses in Omaha but my children lay sick with pleurisy and no one came to care for them." Works Hard. "I never touched a drop of liquor in my life, I have never taken the name of God in vain, I work hard every day to support my children and keep them together but I get no encouragement," he said. "Every one seems to be against me." Majors said he was a member of the Baptist church. "It seems to me that there should be some good Baptist church women here who might help look after these children," said the judge. The two oldest girls. Jesse, 15, and Corinne, 12, a spirited, red-haired girl, seconded their father's statement that no one was trying to help them. "Don't you believe that I'm trying to help you?" asked the judge. "I don't know whether you are or not," returned Corinne with a toss of her bright curls. None of the prominent Omaha women who attend juvenile court sessions volunteered to go into the home but Mrs. Andrew Peterson, 3635 U street, brought into court for her own boy's " mjsdeameanor and Mrs. Belle Davi?,y 205 , 1-2 North Seventeenth street; followed the girls out of the court room, embraced them, took their addresses and saic' they would call on them once a week and show them how to cook and scrub and make their home at tractive. Neglectful conditions in the home vas the charge on which the Majors family was brought into court. Miss Jean Hamilton, assistant to Truant Officer Carver was assigned by the court to make a weekly visit there. Deaths and Funerals.
