Hope at last is seemingly justi-
fed that the drought which has
prevailed over the entire eastern
section of the United States for
months is about to be broken.
Although only light rains have
fallen thus far. the precipitation
has been general over the entire
affected area.
While it has not yet been of
sufficient volumne to have any
marked effect on the disastrous
forest and brush fires which have
been sweeping hundreds of thou
sands of acres, or on water
courses which have fallen to the
lowest points in many years, the
prospect of heavier and continued
rains throughout the east is held
out by the weather forecasters.
If these expectations are real
lied the work of the frehghters
will be relieved, the wheels of
many factories, which ceased to
turn because of lack of water
power, will again become active,
and farmers, for the first time in
many weeks, will be assured ade-
quate supplies of water for the
winter.

WASHINGTON, Oct. - The worlds
greatest scientists have agreed that the use
of tuberculin is the weapon most essential
in the warfare against tuberculosis in cat

suits OF prolonged discussion during the

the fact that on this vital point in the
campaign against this deadly disease foe

most figures in the medical profession was
made public today in a statement made by
DR.. Leonard Pearson of Philadelphia. DR..
Pearson was president of section I of the
congress, especially devoted to the sub
ject of tuberculosis of animals and its re-
lations to man. 'Tuberculin is not infalli-
ble," said DR.. Pearson. Nothing is but
the errors that follow it's use are less than
per cent. This view as TO the accuracy
of tuberculin was unanimously accepted
by the congress. Not the faintest trace OF
