A resolution Of protest by the Wash

Warded 70 President Roosevelt and the
Secretary OF the Navy. 1t was passed

THAT the Chamber OF Commerce de-
plOres and protests against the pro-
posed removal of work TO another

les OF the yard, as well as upon the
business men Of Washington.
THAT a copy Of these resolutions be

tary OF the Navy"

acted at the meeting. The action
noted was followed by addresses on
the relations OF capital and labor de
livered by Walter Drew, attorney and
commissioner Of the National ETectoTs
Association, Of New York. and James
A. Emery, attorney for the National
Association Of Manufacturers. and
general counsel OF the National CoUn-
ell for Industrial Defense. Both speak
ers held the close attention or the au-
dienCe.
The resolution passed b. the members
OF the Chamber was Che result OF in
Tee appointed November by the board
or directors, the attention OF the latter
having been called 10 the subject sew
eTal weeks ago.
As related IN the preamble TO the reso-
lutiuus offered by Mr.. Moses, a report
had reached the Chamber that the re-
mOVal OF work from the Washington
navy yard had been advocated uy
Pennsylvania interests, and considered
by the Navy Department.
Become Residents.
The men employed in the Government
shops have come 10 believe that their
positions are permanent, and have be-
come. therefore, residents Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, purchasing homes
from their savings.
Removal of work from the shops
would throw these men out Of employ
ment, states the preamble. and would
entail serious damage 10 business men
in Washington who have built houses
for many OF The wOrlImen. and also 10
those men engaged IN furnishing the
homes.
The belief of the Chamber OF Com
merce IS that existing Government
plants should not only be enlarged, but
their number increased in the District
Of Columbia, because the business Of the
city IS so largely dependent upon the
employees OF the Federal Government.

CONSUMPTION COSTS US A BILLION A YEAR.
startling Statistics Brought
O

Washington, D. C.-Professor Irv-
ing Fisher, of Yale University, read a
paper before the. International Con-
gress on tuberculosis which created
decided sensation. Professor Fishers
paper was on THE Cost of Tubercu-
losis," and he made the startling an
nouncement that the great white
plague costs in hard cash over one
billion dollars a year.
He estimated that consumption
kills $4,000 persons every year in
the United States. This Is equal, he
said, to the deaths from typhoid
fever. diphtheria, appendicitis, men
nights, diabetes, smallpox and cancer
all put together. Then again, he said,
it generally takes three years to die,
during which time thepoor victim can
earn little or nothing.
Five million people now living in
the United States are doomed to fill
consumptives' graves unless some
thing can be done to prevent it," de-
clared Professor Fisher. "As each
death means anxiety and grief for a
whole family, l estimate that there
will be over twenty million persons
rendered miserable by these deaths"
The scourge, he said, picks out its
victims when they are young men and
young women, at the very time of life

EATING DOGS AND
HORSES TN GERMANY
% 90 . 90 ooeoc oaecoeoaaaa

North American Indians eat dog,
because they love them so; also be
cause they are convenient, and. more
over, an eaten dog never bites. Bu
in Germany the people eat dogs be
cause beef, mutton and poultry ar,
very scarce and high.
During the year 1906, says a write,
In Harper's Weekly, there wer,
slaughtered for food in the Kingdom
OF Saxony (which constitutes one
thirty-sixth of the area and contains
about one-thirteenth of the popula.
ton of the Empire) 1892 horses
and 1885 dogs. This is an increase
of 224 horses and 1873 dogs over the
year 1905. In all Germany, durina
the year 1906, there were slaughtered
for food $4,000 horses. This is an
increase of about 10000 over 1905
and of about 1900 over 1904.
Complete figures are lacking in re.
gard to the slaughter of dogs for food
in the German Empire, but frag.
mentary statistics indicate that the
eotal hunlper was ABOUT IOOU-prob.
ably more, rather than less.
In the city Of Chemnitz alone COS
dogs were slaughtered in 1906, an in.
crease of Lightweight over 1905, and
during the same period 1910 horses,
an increase of eighty-seven over 1905.
Horsefiesh is very generally adver-
tised in the German newspapers. es-
pecially in those of the large indus
trial centres, and most German cities
have at least one market which makes
1t a speciality, claiming for it higher
percentage of nourishment than that
Of either beef, veal. mutton or pork.
Neither is 1t unusual to find adver-
tisements of dog meat or for the pur-
chase of dogs for slaughter.

when they are beginning to earn
money. The minimum cost of doc
tors bills. nursing, medicines and loss
of earnings amount to over $4,000 in
each case, while the earning power
which might have been If death had
not come brings the total cost to at
least $4,000 for each Individual.
If this sum is multiplied by the
$4,000 deaths, the cost, it is seen,
is bigger than the immense sum of
1000, 100000. Professor Fisher es-
timated that over half this cost falls
upon the victims themselves, but the
cost to others than the consumptive
is over s440, 100000 a year.
AS matter of self-defense. he
averred, it would be worth while to
the community in order to save mere
ly quarter of the lives now lost by
consumption to invest $500, 000,-
900. At present only fraction of
one per cent. of this sum is being
used to fight the disease.
Professor Fisher expressed his be-
lief that isolation hospitals for in
durable consumptives are the best in
vestment of all, because in this way
the most dangerous consumptives are
prevented from spreading the disease
by careless splitting in their homes
and neighborhood.

American Roads lettering.

From the maledictlons scattered
broadcast in the mire of roadless
America by despairing bicyclists
fifteen years ago hopes of better
things have taken root. So writes C.
F. Carter in the Technical World
Magazine. No gift of prophecy is
now required to foresee a time when
these hopes will have so far mate
rallied that team, If it is a good
one, will be able to haul an empty
wagon over the gumbo roads of the
Mississippi Valley in spring, and the
public highways of the South will be
so we'll buoyed that light draught au-
tomobiles may navigate them In
comparative safety.
From every part of the country
comes the same encouraging news.
Sixteen States now have highway
commissions that are trying in va
rious ways to, supply the greatest
need of the nation. which is good
roads. At one extreme is New York,
which, in 1905, voted to expend $780,
100000 in building roads. Under
the plan adopted the State will build
and maintain 333 miles connecting
the principal cities. and pay one-half
the cost of 400 miles of local roads
to be built by the counties.
At the other extreme is Iowa, the
third State in the Union in extent Of
road mileage, where the use of the
public highways is SO vast that If
teams enough could be assembled to
do in one day all the travelling done
in the State in year the line would
reach once and half round the
earth, which doles out an annual ap.
preparation of $4,000 to defray the
expense of the State college faculty
