FIGHT FOR BOBBED HAIR. | Council SEAL SALE PUSHED INHEALTH CRUSADE Women’s Committees Placed in Stores and Banks. Need Public Aid. According to advance reports by the Census Bureau on the District of Columbia, tuberculosis now ranks fourth in the list of death causes for all ages, heart disease being first, nephritis second and cancer third. But for the ages between 15 and 45 tuberculosis is still first as a cause of deaths hefe, and that is why the fight being waged by the Tuberculosis As- sociation is being pressed forward with every agency of prevention and | education. The funds with which to carry on this fight depend now on the general and generous use of the. little l-cent Christmas seals on sale throughout the city. “At the sign of the double-barred cross,” a symbol of hope.and help in past ages and now reproduced in solid wood for the Christmas seal sale, the seals will be found at booth tables in most of the larger department stores and bank lobbi tended by women from various civic groups.

Immediately upon his return to his post in Paris in January, Myron T. Hegrick, American Ambassador to | Frdnce, will ‘enter upon the prelimi- | nary work incident to negotiating the | treaty proposed by M. Briand for the | purpose of making war between the United States and that country im- possible for all time. Ambassador Herrick made this an- nouncement at the White House yes- terday following a long conference with_ President .Coolidge. Although he could not reveal details of the talk, he admitted that the Briand proposai was the main topic. He said he will sail for France, January 14, and in the meantime will have several con- Terences with the Secretary of State and again will discuss the matter with Mr. Coolidge. Without a‘tempting to forecast fu- ture developinents, Ambassador Her- rick expressed himself as hoping that something in the nature of M. Briand's proposal could be effected. During his discussion of this sub- Jject, Ambassador Herrick sald that it was ‘during Col. Lindbergh's stay in Paris that M. Briand prepared his proposal to outlaw war and the in- ference was drawn from what the Am- bassador related that the feeling of good will between the two. countries as a result of Col. Lindbergh’'s ac- complishment has served -somewhat as an inspiration to M. Briand. Mr. Herrick said also that the lat- ter handed him the proposal to bring to this country and that he would have taken up discussion of this per- sonally with the President had he not been in ill health.

By the Associated Press. Selection of the Dellar Line or Sud- den & Christenson of San Francisco as operator for the Shipping Board's American-Australia Orient Line, is ex- pected within a few days by Merchant Fleet Corporation officials. Contract for the operation of the line by Swayne & Hoyt of San Fran- cisco was ordered canceled three days ago by thé board following revela- tions that an official of the company had loaned former Commissioner Hill of South Dakota a sum of money. Mr. Hill resigned after the revela- tions and after the President prac- tically had displaced him with "the appointment of Albert' H. Denton of Kansas, to fill the place which Mr. Hill held under a recess appointment. The new operators will take charge temporarily, or until after the sale of the line, discussion of.which has kept the hoard in conflict for several months, has been consummated. Former Commissioner Hill, with Commissioners Teller and Smith, has advocated a 10-year guaranteed oper- ation after sale in opposition to other members of the board, who favor the administration policy of selling the lines on a five-year guarantee. s BUST OF BOOTH UNVEILED.

WISCONSIN FIGHT BECOMES CERTAIN Administration Republicans | Name 4 Delegates at Large to Oppose Progressives, By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, December 16 ().— | A spirited fight for control of the Wis- consin delegation to the Republican na- | tional convention next Summer has become a certainty through the action of administration supporters in nam- ing four candidates for delegates at large to oppose. four already chosen by the La Follette progressives. A State-wide convention of the ad- ministration Republicans yesterday found its only lack of harmony in the prohibition question. Predicting certain defeat for the dele- gates if they were branded as “dry,” in the face of the overwhelming ap- proval given by Wisconsin of modifi- catlon to permit sale of 2.75 beer in a referendum, the wet leaders managed to place in the platform a resolution expressing approval of a national ref- erendum on repeal or modification of | the eighteenth amendment and modi- fication of the Volstead law. The four delegates at large whom the Republicans will seek to elect next Spring_are Mrs. Macauley, former State Senator Andrew L. Kreutzer, Andrew Dahl and George Weig'e. ‘They will be opposed in the Spring election by Senators Robert M. La | Follette and John Blaine, Zona Gale and Theodore Kronzhage, former presi- | dent of the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin. They were named recently to carry the La Fol- lette progressive banner. Wisconsin is entitled to 26 delegates, 4 at large and 2 for each of the 11 congressional dis- tricts. PREFERS'IMI.TATWN FURS.

A comprehensive questionnaire pre- pared by the committee, of which Dr. D. Percy Hickling, District alienist, is chairman, is to be sent to the health officers in 51 of the larger cities from coast to coast, asking data as to methods, cost ‘and effectiveness of health inspections. _ With the compilation of the returns it is expected the committee will ap- DIy the experiences of other cities to Washington and may recommend some new form of enforcing maximum sanitation hefe in food handling. Questions Submitted. The questionnaire asks the health officers of the 51 cities if their inspec. tions, ratings and authority apply to the following classes of food business: Amusement park boothes, eating rooms, food and confectionery stands, | bakeries, confectionery stores, candy | and Lcream stands, canning and cking establishments, bottling works, drug stores and 5 and 10 cent stores handling light lunches and ice cream. fish and oyster houses and seafood and shellfish dealers, fruit stands, grocery and meat stores, mar- kets and delicatessen shops, poultry dealers, railroad and steamship restau- rant facilities, soft drink parlors and warehouses and food storage places. The questionnajre asks data con- cerning the cost of rating systems for such food-handling places, facilities for glassing in or screening foods in eating places, the length of time re. quired for effective inspections, the number of inspectors necessary for such work, the frequency of inspec- tions, methods employed in In- spections for rating of food shops, ic | the attitude of the public and of the proprietors of eating places of the scoring system, whether such cities make use of the licensing system, and many other points concerning sanita- tion work of these cities, _Two_important points of the ques- tionnaire are the following: _“What ordinances, rules or regula- tions have you respecting the protec- tion, screening, glassing in or housing of foods from dust, flies, roaches, ver. min and.contamination, and to what extent have you been able legally to inforce same? Physical Inspections. “Do you require physical inspection of lunchroom employes or food han- dlers in any food business?
