and representative. Washington has the
fifth highest death rate from tuberculosis
in the United States. Only the united
effort of the community will succeed in
lowering this death rate and controlling
this situation. In order to give every
citizen of the District an opportunity to
identify himself with this vital civic
movement the committee last night voted
to place the new organization upon
membership basis, the dues of which will
be within the reach of all.
The new association will continue the
work of the. committee as it has been
developed during the last six years in sup
porting the Free Dispensary for Con-
sumptives, organizing methods of treat
ment for PATIENTS and educating the peo
pie through literature and lectures. In
proportion as it gets the interest and
support of the community the new asso-
citation will broaden these lines of work.
Announcement will be made later con-
corning the definite organization of the
new association and the membership
dues.
