every time, ana the ugllcst part Of
the game Is, that they play with other
peoples money and run their games
with commodities that they do not
produce and have no legal or moral
right 10 control.
The evil is one that affects the en-
tire country. despite. the fact that the
immediate results have, in the furry
that is passing, been limited ana in
a measure prevented from spreading

It's criminal negligence. The speaker
said that the criminal negligence in

on the white plague situation, DR.
Grandy said that what the State had
done for the great white plague suf-
fcrers could be summed up in ono

members of the Conference advocated
prompt and vigorous measu,cs on the
part OF the state legislature. During
the discussion 1t was brought out that
there were in Virginia ut least 1900
