DIED AT THREE O'CLOCK ON THURSDAY MORNING.

REV. DAVIS IS ROTARY SPEAKER

Had Been 111 for S«v«ral Months at the Home of His Son, F*ro, in

Cortina*.

Fred 1¾. Strawsine, pioneer resi­dent of Shiawassee county and Co­runna, father of Fern Strawsine, of the Automatic Ventilator Co., died at the home of his son on South Shia­wassee Ave., Corunna, at three o'clock this (Thursday) morning, following an ftlness of several months. He had been at the home of his son since he was taken ill.

Mr. Strawsine was born hi Brem­en, Germany, on June 6, 1855. His father was a sea captain, who lost his life in a ship wreck when Fred was but a small child. He came with his mother to New York when he was six years old, and at the age of sine years came to Burns township mith his mother and resided with her and his step-father, Fred Lahring, When he became of age he purchas­ed the land which was later known I as the Strawsine homestead, located j two miles west of Byron at Ox- j

Rev. Wm. D. Davis, rector of St. Paul's and Christ Ep^c'up^l churches, was the speaker at the weekly din­ner meeting of the Corunna Rotary club, held at MooreV • restaurant Tuesday evening, when he gave a talk on the life and philosophy of Lincoln.

Rev. Davis began his talk by div­ing into four phases: His birth and childhood, fourteen years in Indiana, 3.1 years in Illinois, and finally four

"years in the White House. The speaker pointed out that Lin­

coln's early education included" a thorough study of the Bible and the Declaration of Independence, and that his later political philosophy was based primarily on the words taken from the latter document, "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by thir Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among; these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'*

After eking the various high-lights of the Great Emancipator's political life, Rev. Davis quoted from Lincoln a sentence setting forth his justifica­tion of the Civil War and delivered at the outset of the war:

*Tbis is essentially a people's con­test; it is a struggle for maintaining in the world that form and substance of government whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men."

Glib promises made by unknown chick salesmen will never fill many egg cartons, warns Ray Conolly, field manager of the Michigan Poultry Improvement association which has headquarters at Michigan State Col­lege.

Poultrymen in the state soon will be in the market for approximately 20 million baby chicks, a field for sales that has been attracting more arid more unreliable salesmen whose tactics arouse the ire of Manager Conolly.

He'd like to warn every Michigan flock operator to beware of strang­ers, especially those who offer "double star" or "triple star" or "superior" chicks from stock with all high pedigrees that "will lay up to 300 eggs in a year.'*

old days, when cows roamed Fifth Avenue and a barmaid—or a lady—-could win a man like Robert Fulton, are brought vividly to life on the screen in Darryl F.

This robust, romantic drama casts Alice Faye in her most colorful role as the fiery .belle of the waterfront who fell headlong for handsome Rob­ert Fulton—and went after him, while the whole brawling waterfront cheered her on.

MacMurray is seen as the burly shipbuilder engaged to build the Clermont, after Fulton's model f o r j - w th? fjrst steamboat; Greene is seen j ^ as the dashing inventor himself; and *

from railroad taxes. Shiawassee county's share of the

current allocation of primary school fund totals $129,292,80, Drake ex­plains, which Is at the rate of »11.20 for each of its 11,544 school-age children. Of the »15.664,611.17 in the fund the railroads through taxes paid $5,759,621.27, or 37 per cent of the total.

On this basis railroad taxes made ur> »47,J>fl«10 of this eounty** share of the fund.

"The primary school fund is on? r»f our state'* most sacred funds and without it education of our 1,399,769 current school children would be ser-iourly impaired," Drake said. "The biggest single tax contributors to the fund are the railroads. ' Thus, of the SI 1.20 the state gives through the fund toward the schooling of each child, J4 . l l is supplied from railroad taxe«. It is estimated that railroad taxes.are sufficient to defray the an­nual cost to the public of educating 69,385 boys and girls in the state. Nationally, railroad taxes are said to make possible the education of 1,-300,000.

"These railroad contributions to our schools are further proof of the vital part the lines play in our eco­nomic lives, a part now threatened by the competitive inequality they are ^ i n g subjected to by unregulat­ed othvr i e n n s of transportation, none of which, incidentally, contrib­ute a penny to public education in Michigan."

MERRY ORCLE CLASS The Northwest Venice Young Peo­

ple had a skating party, sleigh ride and weinie roast, which was enjoyed by twenty members of the Merry Circle Class Friday evening, Feb. 9.

The young people met at the church where they were transported i n a sleigh drawn by a tractor pro­vided by the vice president, George Pardonnet, where they were whisked off to the Kerby Clay Pits. Here the group enjeyed an hour of de­lightful skating, the pond at the pit having been cleaned cf snow.

Later the young people gathered around & fire on the bank and enjoy­ed a weinie roast.

They then returned by sleigh to the church, the only catastrophe to mar the. trip homeward was the dis­covery that the president and a young lady had been lost. The party had to make a return trip of about half a mile to recover the riders, gracefully wending their way thru the snow towards the church.

Gi ,p singing going to and from the church was enjoyed, with uiusic fvom a Mexican horn owned and played by Emile Rigoulot, filling in th'o chorus.

The young people are planning a valentine party to bo held soon, to be announced later.

Natural Causes Regulate Supplies of Wild Game

Hunters will be pleased to know that even though they may be the chief predator ot many game ani­mals, there are mysterious forces that regulate the flow and ebb of wild life populations. They include sudden epidemics which sweep through groups of animals or birds like a plague when they are most abundant; scarcity of natural prey and even the correlation with sun spots influencing weather cycles are more important in nature's balance than open hunting season.

number, two habitat groups of l iv-; ing animals have been installed in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. J

In the first group, live ruffed grouse are displayed against a nat- j uraJ habitat background of woods j in autumn colors. The chart accom- j panying this exhibit shows how the j abundance of grouse and hare has \ shifted at regular intervals. In the"'1

second exhibit, a live great horned owl, perched on a tree limb, stares out toward the visitor from a nat­ural background of a yellow harvest j moon and the pointed tops of pines, j A supplementary exhibit gives a n ' analysis of the pellets of the great [ horned owl. It has been found that j these pellets, which the owl throws up after a meal , give one of the. best clues to the changing small mammal population. This is be­cause local mice , rabbits and many other rodents which the great horned owl feeds on, show rhythmic cycles in exactly the same manner as the ruffed grouse and the vary­ing hare.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not increase of hunters or preda­tors which limit the size of game populations. There are much more mysterious factors, such as plagi^s. On the other hand the abuadance of these smal l rodent populations actually regulates the increase of the number of predators. Lynx, fox, horned owL goshawk and other ani­m a l s which feed on hares and grouse show the s a m e periods of scarcity and abundance as do the hares and grouse.

LICENSE PLATE DEADLINE NEAR

The annual report of the National Safety Council for 193» recently re­leased, shows that traffic accidents caused the deaths of more than 32,-000 motorists and a property loss estimated at J1,500,000,000.

The final report for the state of Michigan for 19S9 is still incomplete, says .Harry F . Kelly, secretary of state.

In view of the fact that more than 1,000,000 motorists will visit branch offices of the department of state during the next 30 <lays, Kelly has supplied each branch office with a special series of safety posters. De­signed to attract ami hold the read­ers attention, these posters carry terse safety lessons.

In Kelly's opinion the motoring public who purchase licenae plates at this time of year are "car conscious"

Road Hogging Motorists Voted 'Greatest Nuisance*

Boad-hogging motorists and care­less pedestrians are greatest high­way traffic nuisances, the improve­ment of driving practices and of downtown parking problems Ameri­ca's greatest motoring needs, a "referendum" conducted by the American Automobile association has revealed.

Taken on automatic voting ma­chines among nearly 11,000 visitors to the National Automobile show in New York, the poll showed some -almost surprising facts as regards public thinking on such traffic and motoring issues as pedestrian con­trol, inspection laws, highway bill­boards, traffic safety education in high schools, difficulties of night driving, etc.

In the balloting on America's pet motoring peeves, "road hogging" was way ahead with "careless pedestrians" second, "cutting in" third, and "no place to park" fourth. "Back seat driving," the brunt of many a. family joke, was seventh in the list of ten.

The poll revealed that the aver­age motorist has sound viewpoints on the many problems facing the country in efforts to bring about greater highway safety.

The results show — tlrat recent newspaper, radio and magazine em­phasis on traffic safety activities of proven soundness has helped de­velop favorable public approval for such measures.

Overwhelming sentiment for pe­destrian obedience to traffic signals, a much-discussed question in Amer­ican cities today, was shown in the heavy IS-to-l affirmative vote on the question, "Should pedestrians be compelled to obey stop and go sig­na ls?" Yes, 8,J»4; no, 596.

The millions of dollars collected focfia motorists in the form of gaso­line taxes and registration fees should be spent strictly tor highway purposes, and not diverted to other uses, the vote of 9-to-l indicating def­inite disapproval of the diversion practice.

an extension of time is impossible," Kelly stated, "the deadline is mid­night, Feb. 29 and this date cannot be changed by anyone in Michigan. The legislature of 1037 set March 1st as the deadline and that law will be strictly enforced. You must either have half or full-year 1940 plates on your car by March 1st or quit using your car until such time as new plates are obtained.

"Full-year 1940 license plates were placed on sale last October, Keily continued "and half-year plates in January, but to date the sale of hew plates is below that of last year. License plates issued through Feb-7 totals 264,535, leaving 1,372,428 automobiles still to be registered this month if titey are to be driven on the highways of Michigan.

If all automobiles still unregister­ed are to be driven after March 1st, 72,233 motorists will daily apply for license plates during the next two weeks. Obviously this will tax our branches to the utmost. Therefore in an endeavor to give as prompt service as possible to the license plate purchaser I have issued instruc

Feast «C Christmas Before Pope Julian I, Christmas

which seems to have been Hirst of­ficially instituted as a church least day by a decree of Pope Telesphor-us—was a movable feast between 142 and 514 A D. Indeed, it was the most movable of all Christian festi­vals. It was usually celebrated in eastern branches of the church in April or May, while in the western part of Europe days in January or other months were observed. St. Cyril, bishop of Jerusalem, obtained from Pope-Julian X authority to ap­point a commission to determine, if ( possible, the precise day of Christ's nativity. December 25 was agreed upon. '

Stainless Steel Is Used In Airplane Manufacture

New and expanding markets for stainless steel are being provided by the aviation industry, according to the Engineering foundation, re­search agency of the national en­gineering societies.

Several types of European mili­tary planes use stainless steel for standardized parts. This trend is gradually extending to the field of small . and inexpensive private planes, one builder of such planes specifying stainless steel for rud­ders, stabilizers, elevators and fuel tanks. The ease with which stain­less steel is welded enables airplane manufacturers to do away with riv­ets, which, although very small, have been proven by tests to make an appreciable difference in air-resistance at the high speeds cur­rent in modern flying.

The report claimed that, although stainless steel is heavier than some of the light alloys now used, it com­pensated for this disadvantage in airplane .construction by its strength. This characteristic, it said, in conjunction with the corro­sion resistance, enabled stainless steel to be used safely in many thin sections, bringing the weight of the-completed structure down to an equal basis. '

The gradually increasing use of stainless steel in planes and the forecast of a much greater use can be logically deduced from the suc­cessful application and the highly satisfactory performance of the ma­terial in high speed* lightweight rail­way equipment; the report stated. While certain factors are important in the air which are irrelevant in surface transportation, there are also many posits of similarity in the desired ends in both cases.

Molybdenum, a metal improving steel's resistance to mineral and or­ganic acid attack, and enabling steel to remain hard when reheated, is becoming increasingly useful in the manufacture of stainless steel

residence of J. S. Kegg, Paradise, Calif., it knocked his pet dog 20 feet through the air without even waiting *o untie it from a tree. The flash of light was so bright that the family was convinced the house was on fire. The lightning stunned Kegg's son so he could not speak for several minutes and it put out the lights in several nearby houses.

Horrors of World War Led to Plastic Surgery

A thousand men without faces, victims of the World war, gave rise to the science and art of plastic surgery, first concern of the few great surgeons, who met this emer­gency by developing new skills, was restoration of function.

These men without faces could not .chew. They could not swaDow. They could not speak. Other men could not bring themselves to look upon such a horrible result of "man's inhumanity to man."

It was necessary to give the vic­tims jaw bones, teeth, noses, throats, skin. It was a work of mercy to add artificial eyes, ears, pleasing contours. Imagination came into use, for mothers, in many cases, could not even supply photo­graphs. |

Psychological values of the repair t work received scant attention at j that time. Yet the healing of the spirit by the plastic surgeon is as remarkable as the wonders he per­forms on external appearances.

The least vain among humans has a natural horror of looking repul­sive to his fellows. A physical de­formity is a great handicap in keep­ing a job, winning a sweetheart, making friends, finding happiness. Warped personalities naturally re­sult from twisted bodies.

Dr. Henry J. Schireson, plastic surgeon of Philadelphia, tells of the great joy expressed by his patients who had been restored to natural appearance or given new beauty in the surgery. One of the most ap­preciative was a nun, victim of a Chinese plague, who asked his aid because she "frightened little chil­dren."

Coloring Aids Efficiency Efficiency and high production in

factories are aided by proper color-selection, according to industrial studies. No longer is it considered necessary to paint machines and factory walls a depressing gray. Restful and tasteful colors are cho­sen instead—with such parts of the machinery as are particularly dan­gerous done in sharp contrast. Em­ployees are also inclined to take better care of machinery that is fin­ished in light colors and not let ac­cumulations of dirt and grease de­tract from its clean appearance. In one air-conditioned, windowless fac­tory a pleasant shade of orange is applied to the machinery and this apparently has a stimulating effecf' on the workers. In another factory where much glass is used in the walls, the machinery is painted in light pastels.

Chinese Students in U. S. Two sons of a trusted adviser to

Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek are diligently seeking an edu­cation in the United States, prepar­ing for the time when they believe Chinese national life will be re-es­tablished on a peaceful basis. John and Peter Eoyang, the nine and 16-year-old sons of Admiral Eoyang, commander of the defunct Chinese navy, are known as Butch and Pete to friends jr. the Ann Arbor and University of Michigan high school, where they are enrolled. They are sports fans, but they are also seri­ous about their careers; Peter so much so that he hopes to finish high school in two years, study na­val architecture and engineering at the university, and then enter a British naval academy. Ke also finds time to box, play football and j swim.

-City That Never Was' Ha. Really Vanished

Sixty years ago Frog Point, the "city that never was," at the head of navigation of the Red river in North Dakota, was a garnering piece for hundreds of teamsters, flat boat­men, hunters, trappers, Indian trad­ers, travelers and the • representa­tives of eastern business firms. It was a sort of wilderness metropo­lis, whose inhabitants uere chiefly transients, dwelling in shacks, frame hotels and, sometimes, in tents.

Yet, the reputation of this cross­roads of the backwoods spread to every part of the American conti­nent and to Europe. Britons thought of Frog Point as a thriving city with broad avenues, tall spires and hum­ming industries, outranked only by Liverpool there. To speak of Frog Point in the cities along the Atlantic seaboard or abroad summoned be­fore the imagination pictures of marching armies, boundary police and all the goings and comings of a great commercial mart. This reputation made it a mecca for for­eign travelers, but their disillusion­ment failed to dim its reputation while its importance "continued.

Writers for the American Guide, the government's forthcoming travel handbook, have been preparing an article on the forest city with the aid of the old timers. In contrast to the spectacular "boom" towns of the mining districts, Frog Point owed its burst of affluence to a low water period which made naviga­tion above it impossible. Freight hauled over land made connections here with the Hudson's Bay compa­ny boat, the International, and with the Selkirk, of which James J. Hill, the "Empire Builder." was past owner. A Hudson's Bay company trading post was established at Frog Point in 1871 with A. H. Morgan as agent. He remained in charge un­til 1875, when the post was leased to Robert Slay. Hill was one of the fa­mous figures frequently seen at Frog Point On one occasion, while trav­eling from Duhitb to Georgetown, he brnfca through the tee not far from the. Point and came near drowning.

Fmauy, navigation conditions changed. Robert Ray discontinued the trading post, fire wiped out many of the buildings where the back-wooodmen had assembled and held high carnival, the hotel and store keepers closed up and, within a rel­atively short time, the metropolis of the wilderness had dissipated into a mist of memories as impalpable AS the phantom city once reared on the site by the imagination of distant peoples. Today, the old Hudson's Bay company buildings, in which the Alfred Tcrgerson agency is located, survive as the one representative of its ancient glory. Its population has dwindled ;to 33 people. Even its name has gone—changed to Bel­mont.

Vitamin From Molasses May Prevent Gray Hair

In sugar cane may lie the cure for graying hair. Scientists at the University of California revealed re­cently an improved method of ex­tracting an "anti-graying" vitamin from cane molasses. They report­ed the vitamin effective on animals, but said they were not yet ready to try it on human beings.

Drs. Oliver and Gladys Emerson, Herbert Evans and Ali Mohammad, all on the staff of the university's institute of experimental biology, re­ported on the progress of experi­ments inspired by Dr. Agnes Fay Morgan's discovery of the presence of the potent vitamin in the "Vita­min B complex" last year.

Dr. Morgan split the complex vitamin into several groups, one of which prevented beri-beri in man, another pellagra, a third a skin dis­ease in chicks. She determined that if one of these fractions was omitted from the diet of experimental rats the hau- began to fade to gray. Fed the cussing substance the rats re­gained their original color.

Dr. Emerson, his wife, Dr. Mo­hammad and Dr. Evans thereupon undertook l? isolate the vitamin frac­tion which affected hair color.

Musele-Disease Treatment A new treatment for a rare mus­

cle-destroying disease which makes its victims so weak that they can­not swallow food was reported re­cently in Memphis, Term. The dis­ease is known as myasthenia gravis, in which the nerve and muscles of the body are crdonologically weak and almost useless yet, when exam­ined, they appear to be perfectly normal. The treatment is the ad­ministration by mouth of guanidine, a common drug closely related to urea, which is widely used as a farm fertilizer. Dr. Ann Minot, chemist at Vanderbilt university, Nashville, Tenn., declared in an interview that while the drug is not a cure for the disease, it has benefited the seven patients on whom it has been tried and has given them relief sufficient that thjy are able to take care ot themselves.

Mexican BeO-ftinfers Tourists who visit the great ca­

thedral in Pueblo, Mexico, are al­ways interested in the family of the guardian of the bells, who live high up in the bell tower, in a small apartment arranged just for them. This is typical of many churches in central and southern Mexico, with the result that the old members of the family, and the very young do not even go up and down the stairs, and "never set foot on the ground." Some ot the churches have caril­lons, which take •special skill to play, and all of them have a compli­cated system pi ringing of bells for all sorts of occasions, from the toll­ing of funeral bells, to calls to mass many times a day. Far up in the bell tower, in little rooms converted into bedrooms and living rooms, live as 'many as eight and ten persons. Brasiers with charcoal serve for warmth and for cooking. One mem­ber of the family goes up and down to market and about the business of the group.

Dugouts for Ducks Ducks Unlimited has be^un blast­

ing Tatagwa lake, near Wewburn, Sask., under a new plan to create more dugouts for ducks in western Canada. The method of blasting "duck-outs" with dynamite was used successfully in the United States, where miles of ditches have been dug through swamps. The idea is to*create deep holes in dried-up lake beds where water will gather in the spring and provide the mi­grating ducks with a place to land during their flight northward.

Natives of Philippine* Were Cunning Fighters

In many years of campaigning all over the globe, the U. S. marines never met a more cunning or im­placable foe than the Moros, the fierce fightag men who -live in the islands of the southern Philippines. They were the last to submit to American authority during the in­surrection in that county at the turn of the century.

During the final months of the campaign, an army company occu­pied a native village in Samar. The apparent submission of the natives led the soldiers to become less watchful. The Moros bided their , time until, through a ruse, they j turned on the Americans and almost j annihilated them. ' j

Following the massacre a battal- ; ion of U. S. marines came from the | principal island, of Luzon k> aid in i bringing the rebellious Moros to • terms. Combat patrols made sev- j eral successful raids and the insur- ; rectos were gradually driven back j to where they had.prepared a series of fortified cliffs along the Sohoton rivev.

These volcanic cYitts, believed to be impregnable by the natives, rose ' almost vertically to a height of 200 , feet. They were pocketed with j caves and crannies, which could be j reached only by crude' trails and 1 scaling ladders. From their.sides i baskets weighted with tons of rocks j • . . « were placed so that they might be VOTING ON TUITION QUESTION hurled down on the heads »1 as* M . sailants. < Most of the officers of the rural

MARTIN SCHOOL P. T. A The Parent-Teachers association of

the Martin school district met at the school house on Friday evening for their February meeting, with about thirty attending. Due to illness in some of the families, the usual crowd was not present.

The P. T. A., the only one in the vicinity to join the State Parent-Teachers association, voted not to join" the State P. T. A. this year, using the dues to purchase needs for the school.

In the absence of the president and vice-president, Mrs. Leslie Jones and Mr*?; Joseph Pretti, the secretary, Mrs. Fred 'Mclntyre conducted the business meeting. She also read the minutes of the last meeting, followed by a report of the treasurer, Harold Dason.

The refreshment committee, under the leadership of Mrs. John Melrose, and her committee, served a delicious repast of pre alamode, the pies being furnished by the ladies of the district and the ice cream by the district.

William McQueen- furnished the radio for the evening and the guests and members enjoyed the Louis fight:

The next meeting will be held the sefohd Friday in February at which time there will be election of officers.

Stealthily the marines approached the enemy's last stronghold. A sur­prise attack on one group sent them scurrying for shelter with the sea s e v e r s hard on their heels. Camp after camp along the river hank was destroyed, and cventusHy die marines routed . the imwrreetoa, seating the cliffs with ladders they had left behind in their haste.

It was the last raOymg place of the Moros, although several other contacts between the marines and the brown-skinned warriors occurred before the sea soldiers were with­drawn from Samar.

Upper Was Noted Scenic

In the ante-heDum days of heaver hats and crinoline dresses the up­per Mississippi was one at the most celebrated scenic spots in America. The FaHs of S t Anthony, now part of the city of Minneapolis were al­most as much exclaimed over as Niagara. Standing on the decks of great side-wheelers, passengers ar­gued hotly as to which was the more majestic stream, the upper Missis­sippi or the Hudson. European travelers compared the castellated bluffs of the upper Mississippi to the scenery along the Rhine. Artists painted its beauties, its falls, rapids, green islands, legended bluffs and picturesque prairies. Tourists wrote long Ruskmesque descriptions of its scenery so exciting to the feelings.

When, in the seventies, the rail­road paralleled the river between St. Louis and St. Paul, it drove "the grand ladies down the river" off the upper* Mississippi. With them went the popular river excursions to view the upper river and the Falls of St. Anthony; the scenery of the upper river dropped out of national notice. Today, thanks to books and movies, the average American knows something of the lower Mis? sissippi, its flat banks, bayous, white cranes, Spanish moss, old houses and shantyboat life. But he is hard­ly aware of the existence of the magnificent bluffs and draws of the wider and much more beautiful upper Mississippi.

On the program was V, O. Braun, Hawkins, Wilkinson, Eveleth, Flint, f of Owosso, who discussed "Earmarks Youngs and Kelly. Those voting no of True American Citizens." were the Clark and Kerby, the latter j Burns Grange held a very good to take the question up later, leaving? meeting on Tuesday, when R. V. the question open. A survey also Dunn, of Lansing, spoke on 'The finds a larger percentage of rural f Agricultural Outlook for 1940."

\VM A number of friends and several

families^ *of\ the Venfce-Hazelton Farmers club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Conklin, Fri­day evening; A fine program was enjoyed, consisting of "pep"" songs by all. Two lovely" song numbers from the giris from the county AAA office was enjoyed, followed by films presented by Harold Kline from the AAA. Later a Professor Quiz hour with Mr. Kline taking the Pro­fessor's place caused ranch merri­ment. Prizes were awarded to Ford Allen and Howard Conklin.

Mechanised and motorized are military terms meaning two differ­ent things, though many who use the words do so interchangeably. Mechanized units are those with ve­hicles built to travel over all but the most difficult terrain—tanks, combat troop carriers-and gun oar- j riages moving on caterpillars or multiple axle arrangements. Motor­ized units are simply units equipped ! with" enough trucks to transport the j entire organization, m the case of motorized artillery, guns usually are | towed behind trucks.

Tuberculosis Cure Seen The eventual eradication of tuber­

culosis—with or without a chemical cute—now seems assured, believes Dr. Henry D. Chadwick of the Na­tional Tuberculosis association ! "There has been an average annual i decline of 4.3 tuberculosis deaths per 100,000 population sivre the as- i sociation was founded in 1904," he i stated recently. "I see no reason j why the decline shouldn't persist i until the disease is eradicated. The improvement continued r i g h t through the depression, too." Or. Chadwick, who is president of the association, said that he took this to indicate that living conditions in this country have been kept up. Meanwhile, medicine is looking hopefully to chemistry for a specific cure. Most of the progress has been through understanding of the dis-

and the treatment of it.
