Railway, altitude 2 400 feet above Tho

been found by experience to be particul-

AIRY phthisis. especially those of the
earlier or pre-tubercuiar periods.
DIR. Mark A. Rogers. Of Tucson, says:
MY experience has impressed upon
me the necessity for outdoor life in the
treatment OF pulmonary tuberculosis. III

uously in the open air for period ofsev

MANY physicians in the east order
patients TO California for the winter,
apparently with view of sending them
to dry climate. The relative humidity
in southern California is as great, and
in some instances greater. than that ot
the Atlantic coast, and many OF the best
physicians in California regularly send
their tubcrcular and asthmatic patients
to Tucson. California is n beautiful
country, but the fogs which come in
rom the sea, and the emanations from
the vast irrigated regions, make it far
inferior to the inland desert regions for
phthisical patients. think it may be
assumed as general rule that wher-
ever there is irrigation there is high
degree of relative humidity. and patients
suffering from pulmonary phthisis
should never be sent to an irrigated dis
trict. Indeed, some Of the California
physicians have declared that irrigation
and malaria go together.
"The city of Tucson has, i'll my opin-
ion, advantages as a health resort
which can not be equalled anywhere in
North America. know of no locality
where such moderate winter climate
and such a low degree OF relative humid

by massive mountain ranges. To the
north is the Santa Catalina range; to

Since consumptives must depend on the

rhost important factor for their cure and

Tending the Llght

With nothing but waves to seaward n
And the grim rocks toward the LAND
The roll of the black clouds over,
And the breakers on every hand;
The night comes down on the ocean,
And we climb the winding stair
To see that our lights are piercing
The thick'ning, foggy air.
Alone on a rock I'm the desert
OF tumbling and tossing tide;
The nations outer signal
To wanderers far and wide.
Alone, and we wonder dimly
If the foghorn reaches the shore
Or Dierces the outer stretches
That tumble and toss evermore.
Perchance In the little village
Some flsherwife wakes in fright.
And peers from her smoky window
To see If we're shining bright,
Or out on the tossing bi.lows
A helmsman watches our light,
A Thousand souls in his keeping,>
AS they rush through the pathles
night.

MEN OUTNUMBER THE WOMEN
IN MANY STATES OF THE UNION

It is likely that few people know
that Pennsylvania has an excess Of
male population. the exact number
being 1O6,967, and ranks fourth in the
whole country in that particular. Cali
fornia comes first with $4,000; Mime
sofa next with 1856; Texas third
with 109.09O-then Pennsylvania.
There now is no need for the maiden
with a settled determination to change
her State to go West, or even South.
She would find il more convenient TO
go to Pennsylvania.
According to the last census of the
United States. in 1900, the total popu-
lation, including those in the military
and naval service and Hawaii, was 76-
303,3S7. OF this number the males
number 39059, ,242, or 5113 per cent.
and the females 1924, ,145 or 1881 per
cent However this shows a slightly
larger proportion Of females than in
1890. Then the percentages were 81. .23
males and 4s.76 females.
The total Increase Of population in
the decade was 12,233631. or p per
cent made up of 6,744,179 females
These numbers represent an increase
OF 209 per cent. in males and 21.1 per
cent. in females. The actual excess
of men in the who.e country is 1885,
.097.
There is no reason why every forlorn
damsel or widow may not take heart.
II is said that figures will not lie
which are about the only thing so cred
ited-and according to the figures of
the last census. there actually is an
excess OF men in the whole country of

l,S15,097. In all but eleven of the fifty
two states and territories the men out
number the women-the boys and girls
Those eleven states are along the At
lantic seaboard and the excess OF
women in each is as follows
. Massachusetts,. 70,39S; Rhode Island.
1924; New York, 80, 9,334; New Hamp-
shire, $50; New Jersey, 149; Maryland,
1851; District of Columbia, 14.71O;
Virginia, 1880; North Carolina, 1886;
South Carolina. 1926: Georgia, 1929.
AS seen by the above Massachusetts
has the greatest surplus of women, and
the fact is little to be wondered at.
Massachusetts women undoubtedly are
hOmely and unattraqtive, and there ap.
parently are but few men who are moi
content to let them remain in the scate
of their nativity. They are ungainly
and lanlly. They have big, fiat feet,
and wear unimprOved shoes; their
voices rasp, and they make no attempt
to soften them; they do not seek tC
enhance such charms as stingy nature
has deigned to spare them, but seem to
resign themselves to inevitable ugli-
ness.
But to return. not to our muttons.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
After the Horse Is Stolen

From the Chicago Tribune.
Word comes from Texas that the
State is about to- start criminal prose-
cutions against the officers OF nearly a
hundred fraudulent oil companies, who
during the boom, have sold worthless
stock to THE amount of millions of dol
lars. 1t will, Of course. be some sats-
faction TO the people who have paid
their money for waste paper in the
shape of oil stock to see The men who
deceived Them sent to State prison.
PrOmpter action. however, ON The part
of the Texas authorities would have
benefited many credulous investors and
prevented the gathering of the cloud Of
suspicion which at present hangs over
Texas oil investments. The freedom
with whidh the Oil boom swindlers
have been allowed to operate has had
bad effect even on the reliable and
responsible companies. II was natural
to expect that thehorny-handed legisla-
tors and other officials of the Lone
Star State who have been so frequent
ly shocked by the presence of water in
the stock of Northern corporations,
would have been quick to detect and
prevent the floating of absolutely ficti-
tious securities. Their action now is
better than nothing, but it is painfully
reminiscent Of the process Of locking
; the stable after the horse has been
stolen Perhaps the action would have
been more swift and certain If Former
! Governor Hogg and a good many other
sturdy Texan patriots and lovers OF
mankind had not been so busily en-
gagged becoming oil plutocrats.
