TN the effort to discover the earliest manifestations of tuberculosis In school children, several communities hare set out to examine every school child for the Indications which are revealed by the tuberculin test and the y In advance of outward symptoms. The tuberculin test, a harmless procedure, selects those who are infected and should be examined with the In turn, the latter indicate, whether there is danger from disease or not The Massachusetts Department of Public Health was one of the first to begin such a widespread campaign. It was considered a measure of economy as well as humanity, for the expense of caring for grown-upatients with active disease was found to be a thousand dollars a year for each one given eanatorium care. But when potential future sufferers from active disease could be discovered among young school children, the case was quite different. Not only did this widespread search disclose children in danger from tuberculosis, but in many Instances it led directly to the discovery of an active case In adult members of the same family, from whom the children had been getting the infeetlon that was preparing them for a similar X-ra- p destiny. One such example was recently described by Dr. Henry D. Chadwick, an outstanding authority on tuberculosis, who had chargs of this work in Massachusetts, and now is developing a sim-lla- f project in the schools of Detroit, Michigan. A girl was dis with the childhood type of tuberculosis in a marked degree. "The obvious thing to do," said Dr. Chadwick in reciting this instance, "was to find the source of the disease and protect her from further infection. No treatment would avail if she continued to receive further doses of tubercle bacilli. It was doubtful If she could withstand the amount that was already producing disease. "The field nurse in the district In which the child lived investigated the conditions at home and was successful in getting the parents and the two sisters to come to the clinic for an examination. One showed the childhood type of tuberculosis, the other had the adult type, involving the upper third of the right lung. In the latter case there were also Indications showing that the childhood type had preceded the adult type for at least a year. "The source which had spread the Infection was found in the mother, who had the fibroid type of tuberculosis, which had not been previously recognized. "Case finding methods will lead to a diagnosis of tuberculosis in its early and more curable stages. We cannot sit in our offices and expect early and favorable cases to come in for treatment. We must search them out before the symptoms appear that would lead a person to consult a physician. That may seem Impracticable or impossible. It Is not. We must keep is mind that tuberculosis breeds tuber culosis that one case comes from another and look for new cases in the proximity of old ones." Hopkins Medical School, Baltimore, Maryland, and one of the outstanding physicians of his time, to realize that ; in tuberculosis prevention much could ' be achieved by going into the homes of patients. Dr. Osier never was a man to evade an issue or to shade an adjective. In a public meeting in Baltimore he said: "My dear, patient, hopelessly inert fellow citizens. For 10,000 consumptives living in our we are doing nothing, Mr. i midst, Mayor and fellow citizens, sot one ' long-sufferin- : ' ' d covered community should do." Personally securing a fund from friends, Dr. Osier instituted a systematic visitation of patients by one of his women medical students. This was in 1899. In 1900 a report on the home condition of 190 cases of tuber culosis showed appalling conditions. This was the first scientific investigation ever made of the domestic and social factors surrounding the disease. Soon it became apparent that more regular visitation was needed than could be expected of a medical student A nurse for this special work was appointed in 1903. By 1906 there were S4 nurses In nine cities. Now there are 7.115 In tbe United States, confining their efforts entirely to the Important aud perfectly obvious job which Osier was the first to see the vital need of a nurse's help in the home te solve the problems of domestic dotal! which are Important In healing the patient and safeguarding other members ef the family from danger.

Jrom another How Nurses Help Prevent Disease OFTEN it takes a great man to see obvious thing. For years patients with tuberculosis had been attending clinics for diagnosis and treatment before anybody thought to Investigate their home conditions, or to help Improve them, or to teach patients how to live for the benefit of their own health and to prevent their being a source of Infection to others. It remained for no less a mas thau Sir William Osier, at that time Professor of Medicine at the Johns A public craving for spiritual solace and religion. Intensified oy unsettled conditions.

Until this unknown case is found, be remains a menace to ether persons. The contact must be broken. This is the vital point In tuberculosis prevention, and greater progress can be made along this line than In any other way Newspapers, magazines, the radio, speakers, motion pictures, posters, and literature will carry to tbe public the message that "Tuberculosis Causes Tuberculosis. Every Case Comes From Another," and It will be explained that every member of a family in which there Is a case of tuberculosis should have a thorough examination to be sure no one else has contracted the disease. n State secondary highway to beoiled.

Paraphrasing the Jamous statement ago that "tois nation cannot remain 4mu slave and half iree", Carl K. Gray,, lieclar-e- d president of the Union m San Fransiaco tnat "commercial trau&poriatiou cannot remain half re gulated and half unrtguiateo. Obvi- uuoiy either it will become ail legulat-e- d or must become all unregulated." Air. Gray was one of the principal speakers at the annual convention of tne Lnited States Chamber of Com- of Abraham Lincoln, 75 years Kussia, realizing that commerce is something more tuan a "mere capitalistic invention for the enrichment of the few," allows peasants to sell grain and meat, markets are organized, aud Kussia Is pleased. There is not much pleasure in having rubles if you can't spend them, or in raising pigs it you can't sell pork. That may not be perfect "Communism" but that is how human beings are made. This change in llussia's policy would seem to indicate success for Stalin. As men become successful, they become more conservative. Various minds interpret in various ways the news that comes out of Russia, but there cannot be two opinions about this. Russia has three times as many newspapers today as she had under the czars, and ten times as many news- paper readers. Fravda, published in Moscow, official organ of the Communist party, has a daily circulation of 2,200000. Inves-tianother Russian official organ, sells two million papers a day. The Peasant's Gazette, published every three days, circulates three million copies, and has in addition fifteen regional editions, besides its edition of three millions. There is no free press in Russia, which means that there is no reliable safety valve. But at least the people are reading. a, Mr. Mills, Secretary of the Treasury, and Eugene Meyer Jr., head of the Federal Reserve Board, agree that it would be a mistake to keep pouring out money until the dollar's purchasing power comes down to the 1926 level. The Government couldn't restore 1926 prices if it tried, Mr. Mills says. The dollar would be made cheap without necessarily making products more "valuable. Mr. Mills and Mr. Meyer, both able financiers, agree that you can cut down the value of the dollar but you can't put up the value of products. The public begins to think that nobody really knows anything about money, especially when trouble comes. In northern New York forty men were arrested at a cock fight. The police got fifteen live game cocks, seven dead ones, killed in battle for the ot "primates" standing amusement around the cockpit. Fighting cocks hare their natural spurs cut off and sharp steel needles are attached the stumps. The thrust of a needle through the brain ends the fight. The birds will endure unlimited suffering from other wounds and fight on. It is hard for us to realize that that was once a favorite sport of English Kings, or that serious Englishmen, not long ago, objected to a ban on bull baiting, saying that Englishmen, if they did not see blood, might lose merce. "Tnere is in the United States," said Mr. Gray, "a material surpms of ail lorms ot transportation, iather than a snortage. lne existing situation with respect to discrimination is instability oi rates on the part of by water and by hignway is tiot a healthy condition. The coordination of all forms of transportation upon a fair basis which preserves each within its economic sphere is very desireable and even an essential thing. "I have never been able to fathom the antipathy of water and highway carriers toward a regulation which would make the securing of a certificate of public convenience and necessity of primary requisite, or why they should object to governmental supervision which extended at least to the vantage to them of the latter of a minimum rate. The should be perfectly obvious. The requirement of a certificate would eliminate the wildcat or overnight and irresponsible operator. It would result in the establishment of truck lines where they could be justified and at rates that would return a profit. liThis requirement alone would make possible an organization of truck and bus operators which would have an authoritative voice, and which could deal in matters of coordination with other carriers in a comnrehen- sive and constructive manner, and I do not believe that it can be accorn pusnea in any other way. "I believe that the railroads of t'lCi country are a fundamental necessity. They can be hampered, and to some extend crippled, by a continuation of the present anomalous conditions, a proper solution of which is essential in the public interest, and eauallv in the interest of all carriers alike." In the course of his address Mr. Gray traced briefly the history of American transportation and the de velopment of the various forms of. railroad, hicrhwav and water carriers- He detailed the several inequalities that are asserted to exist against the railroads and in favor of the government on state subsidized truck, bus. and water lines, both inland and ili "dUf-rie- require-questi- ad-me- on nt jtt After voicing the common ground which cooridnation can be brought about Mr. Gray asserted that the mutual interest of all business in stitutions as expressed in the United States Chamber of Commerce is es sential to final solution of the probupon lem. "Nothinjr is further from mv mind." "in offering these suggestions, than to convey an impression that the railroads are passe, or courage.

Some of his adventures suggest writings in the Old Testament Especially his escape from a great flood like the one that threatened Noah. Among northern peoples, the adventures ot Beowulf suggest the career ot Gilgamesh, but Beowulf's wildest achievements, including his swim of six days and nights in the ocean, dressed in full armor, and his fights with marine animals, seem tame compared with the Gilgamesh career. Primitive men were children. And all delighted in fairy stories. Even when writing history. cts (By E. J. Maynard) Scientific feeding of sugar beet byproducts when coupled correctly with home grown grain and alfalfa can save Utah beet farmers and livestock feeders thousands of dollars annually. Many livestock feeding experiments have indicated that correct beet byproduct fattening rations can produce cheaper grains than any other combinations available in the United States at the present time. With Utah's limited area under cultivation maximum yields per acre are essential and barnyard manure, the residue from livestock feeding, is a necessary cog in the machine. In feeding livestock, a knowledge of proper conservation of certain feeds, relative values of different feeds and correct feeding methods can save an individual feeder several hundred dollars in a single feeding season. Carefully planned feeding experiments have indicated the possibilities that exist to reduce feedinir losses in bad years and increase profits in good Advertising is a great power. Newspapers possess it, but don't use it. They advertise everything except themselves and the value of advertising, which is the greatest fores for restoration of prosperity. Z. Robert Clary, of The Glendals News Press, Glendale, Calif., sayi: "If newspapers would devote half as much space to advertising themselves as they are sow devoting to advertising tbe depression, they would ones. do well."' It is evident A sound suggestion. Our civilization has always been efficient in punishing crimes against money. Forgers go to prison; counterfeiters, including those of unusual ability from all over ths world, find themselves no match for government detectives. But this country has been slow in suppressing offenses sglnst human beings, murders in public streets, holdups, "putting on the spot" racketeering, taking men "for a ride" and throwing them out murdered, and all the other crimes that have been developed In this prohibition-bootle- g age. It is good news that the national government hereafter will take the stealing of a child as seriously as It has always taken the counterfeiting t a ten dollar bill. (,I932, b Kinf Fuiium Srsdicitt, lac) that livestock fattening along with dairying and other livestock enterprises is an accepted and established practice in Utah's beet growing areas. Any means for increasing gains and decreasing feed costs should appeal to progressive farmers. In spite of the stern dictatorship exercised by Soviet leaders, it appears that artistic temperament is given recognition in Moscow, as elsewhere.
