A call for volunteers to fight under the standard of the National Tubercu- losis Assoclation and its 1000 affiliated bodies throughout the country against tuberculosis—humanity’s most vicious foe—has been sounded. A recent health survey, made by the experts of the Natlonal Tuberculosis Association, brought to ‘light some startling statistics with regard to the prevelency of the disease, -The find- ings of this survey have revealed a national menace, which must be eradi- cated. The figures show that each year 150,000 persons dle of the dis- ease and that there are approximate- ly 2,000,000 cases' of tuberculosis In the United States today. g ‘The untaught consumptive—qne who ’ does not know the ‘rules-of health, is an ‘Indefatigable spreader of the dis- .| ease, Wherever he goes, he leaves be- The Red Cross Seal—as milliuns of ericans know it to day, is an agent bapploess and health, It was orig- ted in 1007 by Miss Emily P.

The number of seals reached 180,000,000. This year the seals are again on e beginning December 1.. More an half a billlon seals have been rinted for distribution to state and ocal agents. In addition to the seals “Health Bonds” in denomina- tions ranging from $5.00 to $100.00 are to be sold In lleu of seals to large contributors, who do not send out a sufficient quantity of mail in December to make use of all the seals they would like to purchase. ~The combined quotas of all the state or- ganizations call for more than $6,500,- 000 to carry out the Intensive educa- tional campaign being conducted by the Natlonal Tuberculosis Assoclation and its 1,000 affillated societles.

The National Tuberculosis Assocla- tion and its afiliated bodles have en- tered upon an intensive nation-wide educational campaign. The campaign will -be localized and within a short time there will be ample work for many thousands of volunteers.

To make possible the carrying out of this cam- paign, more than §50,000,000 seals will be offered‘ for msale during the holi- days. State and local tuberculosls associations have at hand valuable local data regarding the disease and actual conditions in the communities where they are located. The officers of these bodles eagerly welcome in- quiries, ¢ DOUBLE BARRED GROS ADOPTED I7 YEARS AGO The double barred Red Cross is seventeen years old this month. In October, 1902, the International- Anti- Tuberculosis Association, then meeting in Berlin, adopted the cross as the emblem of the world-wide fight agalnst tuberculosis. It was proposed by Dr. G. Sersiron, of Paris. It is a com- bination of the Croix de Lorraine and the cross of the Greek Catholic church. Both crosses are symbolic of charity and help to humanity. Their combined features were selected and adopted as the symbol of the hope of clvilization. Four years latex, in 1906, the double barred Red Cross was car- ried into this country. 'It was in 19086, the National Tuberculosis Association was formed, and for the three Inter- vening years the cross has been car- ried over the United States by the its affilinted bodies, which now num- ber one thousand, The work of theése organizations ‘s financed chiefly by the Red Cross d Cross Christmas Seals.

Perhaps some of .them made up for this by wearing mustaches. Out of 65 men who sat round the peace table, ‘all' had mus- taches but 14. &t ‘Whiskers, on the other hand, were not popular. Only three people wore them, and by a curfous” coincidence the names of all these three people began with V. They were Venizelos of Greece, Vandervelde of Belgium and Vassitch of Serbia. The latter's whiskers were particularly prominent. In regard to dress, there was less formal -attire than one might have imagined. The English paid no' special attention to dress. High hats and frock- coats, once a combination that would never have been sanctioned,. were quite popular; but there were some countries which put all they knew into their attire. These were, notably, the Japanese, and some of the South Amerlcan states: TR UTawoacK. - Jucob Ruppert, the New York brew- er, told at a luncheon a story about a war profiteer. “He gave a dinner one night,” said Mr. Ruppert, “and when his wife en- tered the drawing room‘ he was as- tonished to see her in a very decol- lete dinner gown—no-sleeves, very low In the.frout, and lower still in the back.
