LA—14 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. D. €., DECKMBER 920, 1931—PART ONE. MORE SEAL SALES — - = SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. URGED I CAPTA Only $28,000 Realized in Annual Drive Against Tuberculosis. A plea for more extensive buying of Christmas seals was made yesterday by Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, president of the ‘Washington Tuberculosis Association, who said only $28,000 has been raised from sale of the seals this year. With only four more shopping days remaining until Christmas, Mrs. Grant stressed the urgent need of raising $50,- 000 to develop the more important fea- tures of the association's 1932 program. Mrs. Grant said the association is badly in need of funds to continue, among other things, its Summer camp service and occupational therapy work for patients at the Tuberculosis Hos- pital. Copeland Stresses Danger. In a recent radio address Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York said a dangerous emergency exists in the long and partially successful campaign to conquer tuberculosis. He emphasized particularly the increased danger re- sulting from the economic depression. “We have had a period of economic prosperity in America,” he said, “co- inciding with improvements in condi- tions as regards tuberculosis. With bet- ter living conditions, the disease has been decreasing. “When people huddle around a stove, & whole family sitting in one room, you have all the makings for the spread of tuberculosis. How many men, women and children are going to do that this Winter? Millions of them! We haven't enything very comfortable to look gorward to in 1932. Unemployment, worry, unrest, hunger, disease, death— these are the steps sure to mark the Pprogress of disaster unless we overcome the economic depression facing us to- pight. ‘Warns of Dire -Consequences. “We admit that unemployment and unhappiness are here. But have we ‘mitted our minds to run on to the ogical outcome of the situation? If we have actually taken the long view, we have visualized robbery, rioting, and —I hate to use the wora—revolution. “Twenty-five years ago every seventh funeral was that of a consumptive. Today, as the result of well directed efforts, tuberculosis has become one of the minor causes of disease and death. “The essentials in wiping out this are the food and shelter that go with high standards of living. If we permit the heads of 10.000.000 families to skimp on food, to lessen the milk supply of the children, and to take les: an their own fair quota, tuberculosis will thrive as it did in the siums of a gen- eration ago. Even Palatial Homes Periled. “The palatial homes are in danger when tuberculosis and other diseases of undernourishment thrive in the tenements. Through the servants, clerks in stores and offices, and other contacts of life, the germs of disease which thrive in poverty are carried to the children of the rich. Nobody is safe unless all are safe. “‘Money must be supplied in generous amounts, to the end that there shall be no needless deaths from a preventable disease. Every man, woman and child in America has a direct, personal, selfish interest in this matter. Let us exert, every effort and make every sac- rifice to end the ravages of dread tuber- culosis. *All these things can be accomplished it we buy the Christmas seals.” DISABLED VETERANS GREETED BY HOOVER| | President Sends Holiday Message of “Renewed Assurance” of Nation's Appreciation. By the Associated Press. In the spirit of an approaching Christmas and the turn of a new year, President Hoover yesterday dispatched to disabled veterans throughout the country a greeting and a “renewed as- surance” of the Nation's appreciation of their service. The brief message was distributed through various veterans organizations and hospitals, and was addressed, “To all disabled veterans.” It said: “It is mv privilege to convey to you at this holiday season the Nation's tribute of remembrance and gratitude for your service in defense of our country. “Your sacrifices and sufferings have called forth the solicitude of the Nation expressed in the services which have been established to minister to your needs. “In extending to you a greeting of good cheer at Christmas I express my earnest personal wish and that of all our people that the new year may bring to you abundant blessings of content- ment, health, hope and restoration. I gend you renewed assurance of the Na- tion's gratitude and devotion to your | needs. “(Signed), HERBERT HOOVER.” | Bix Additional Army Officers Will Relieve Outgoing Men. 8ix additional officers have been de- tailed to duty on the War Department general staff to relieve an equal num- ber of officers whose four-year terms will expire during the coming Summer. ‘The latest list of prospective mem- bers of the general staff includes Lieut.
