CHRISTMAS SEAL CANPAIGN OPENS Pageant Depicting Benefits Stamp Sales Achleve Begins Drive Here. The annual Christmas seal sale of the Washington Tuberculosis Associa- tion began officially today, following inaugural ceremonies at Rauscher's last night, when, in the presence of a distinguished audience, the spirit of Lorraine handed the first seal to Santa Claus as a gift to the people of the National Capital, with the prom- ise that it would bring them health and happiness. The occasion was the eighteenth annual meeting of the Washington ‘Tuberculosis Association. The tableau served to bring home forcibly the sig- nificance of the little stamps bearing the double-bar cross of the Tubercu- losis Assoclation. It also was the occasion for the first lighting of a real Christmas tree this Yuletide season. The tableau opened showing Santa Claus, portrayed by Arthur Murphy, busily decorating his brilliantly light- ed tree. Then from far off in the dis- tance the soft voices of choristers, singing the famous old carol, “Holy Night,” flltered softly into the room. A few minutes later the singers, Mrs. S. Elizabeth Kerr, Elsworth Condron and Charles Seaman, marched to the tree and there met the spirit of Lor- raine, played by Miss Helen Burton. Making known her identity, Lor- raine handed her preclous gift to Santa Claus, with an explanation of what it would mean to the people of Washington, and especially the little children. Then, as the choristers again took up their soft carol, Santa hung the gift on the most conspicu- ous branch of his tree—the first Christmas present to adorn a tree in Washington during the present season. A business meeting preceded the tableau, at which Harry L. Hopkins, director of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, was the lead- ing speaker. Mr. Hopkins sald that although statistics would indicate that tuberculosis is losing ground fast be- fore the attacks of education and hygiene, a closer examination of the figures would show that the disease is still the most important public health probdem before America today. Admitting that in 20 years tubercu- losis has dropped from the leading cause of death to fifth place, it is still the greatest cause of deaths between the ages of 20 and 50 years, Mr. Hop- kins said. Striking between those ages, he added, it hits a telling blow the home, for it is between 20 and 50 that men and women rear families. “Cowboy Lawyer” Meets Waterloo In Supreme Court Associated Press. S1d White, the “cowboy lawyer,” of Okemah, Okla., met his Water- loo yesterday before the Supreme Court. Wearing a 10-gallon hat, shirt open at the neck and minus neck- tie, he appeared as an applicant for permission to practice before the court. His friend, Attorney General Short of Oklahoma, who was present, arranged the prelimi- naries, but the absence of a tle was something else again. No one had ever appeared before the highest court without a tle, was the reply to the cowboy law- yer's protest, but his objections were overcome when it came down to the ultimatum “no tie, no ad- mission.” A tle was borrowed; the cowboy lawyer was admitted; he left the courtroom and tore off the tle at the doorway. York will go up again next year. The time is coming, however, when it will be a disgrace for a community to let a person die of a preventable disease, and it is organizations like the Wash- ington Tuberculosis Association that Kl"n“ hasten the approach of that e.” ‘Walter 8. Ufford, secretary of the association, said that the Washington Tuberculosis Assoclation had set $40,000 as its Christmas seal goal He pleaded with the people of the National Capital to buy an average of ten stamps per person. The work of the association is spreading to such an extent and the need for more work is becoming so much more acute that increased funds are essential, he said. Other speakers included Mrs. Agnes H. Stewart, director of the occupa- tional therapy department; Mrs. Mar- garet H. Cralg, director of the child health education _department, and Mrs. Margaret J. Hilleary. Officers were elected as follows: Dr. George M. Kober, president; Dr. Har- vey W. Wiley, vice president; Walter 8. Pratt, jr., treasurer, and Walter S. Ufford, secretary, all re-elected. Mem- bers of the board of directors: Emile Berliner, Mrs. Appleton P. Clark, Dr. J. W. Peabody, Dr. W. D. Tewksbury, Rev. D. E. Wiseman, all re-elected, and Mrs. Wesley M. Stoner, elected to fill awvacancy. e Peruvian naval officers recently went overland to Iquitos, Peru, to establish landing sites for the pro- posed air service between the end of the Central Rallway and Iquitos.
