Campaign Being Waged Against the
White Plague

THE latest and the most helpful
note sounded in the civilized world S
campaign against the White Plague,
is the education of American school
children to avoid tuberculosis, as
serts the Woman's Home Compan-
ion for April.
The campaign itself may be de-
scribed as a dual movement. On
the one hand, are arrayed notifica-
ton, registration and segregation
of those tainted with tuberculosis;
and on the other. education and pre-
vention for the untainted. The
greatest of these is the education OF
the rising generation, who, through
this means, may live to see tubercu-
losis stamped out of all civilized
countries.
so. while municipal governments
and private charities are wedding
out cases which would spread the
disease, supplying outdoor sana.
toria for the durable and refugees
for the incurable, half a dozen pow
erful agencies are pushing the sane
and sensible campaign of education
among school-children, with view
to eliminating the disease entirely
in the generations to come.
The one preventive of tubercu-
losis is right living. The place to
each right living is in the schools. I"

Strange Eruptions Shoot Out from
the Sun

Many people have noticed the
peculiar appearance of the sun and
the ha7'ness of the atmosphere for
several 1Sys with knowing just
what to attribute it all to- 1t is said
to be due to strange eruptions on
the sun during the past three or
four days. Some contend that the
unusual warmth OF the weather is
also due to this phenomenon. In
regard to the remarkable eruptions
on the sun, Prof. K. B. Frost OF
Yerkes' observatory in Wisconsin
saws:
The eruptions shoot from the
surface of the sun like skyrockets.
They are easily visible at the edge
of the disk.

President Taft's Heart to Heart
Talk with Reporters

President Taft facing a crowd of
800 newspaper men and editors at
the New York Press Club, indirect
ly apologized for his remarks con-
corning the press made in a recent
speech in Chicago. He said, among
other things:
This being President of the
United States, presents a good many
new sensations to one who came in
to the office under the conditions
that surrounded my coming in.
l don't 60 to the point of saying
nothing much matters. That's isn't
true. l believe a good many things
matter a great deal, but / do think a
long experience with respect to the
criticism of public men will make
men feel to be less important, the in
justice, if there be injustice, in such
criticism vastly less important than
they seem to be when they are cut
ting their hide, so to speak. After
all, everybody wants to be square. A
great deal that is said in the su-
perlative in our life is understood
to be in the positive-a great deal
that is said of an irritating charac-
ter is momentary and is forgotten
by the man who uses it more quick
ly than by the man whom it hurts
which is the Indication that the feel
ing that he has toward his victim is
only momentary, and does not evil
dence that real cruelty that would
Justify excitement on the sub
iect."

The Ethics of Trading at Home

There are few of us who do not
make our living out of the people
around US. They turn something
our way, we profit by it and we
get enough to live OF. The people
around us, therefore, having given
us living, either directly or indi-
rectly, we owe it to them as matter
of good faith and fairness, to put
everything we can in their way SO
that they may live and prosper.

RIFLE RANGE TO Be
AT VIRGINIA BEACH
Military Board Agrees to Locate
Camp Near Ocean
ANOTHER CAMP IN MOUNTAINS
Plan Adopted to Revise Volunteer
Regulations

Regulations
At meeting of the State Military
Board held in Richmond last Wed
nesday night the Board accepted
the offer made by the Industrial
commission of Norfolk Of camp site
and rifle range near Virginia Beach.
with the understanding that a Sec
ond camp site and rife range and as
many local ranges as may be nee
essary, in the mountains Of Virgin
ia or elsewhere, as soon as conven-
lent plac s cln be selected, may be
acquired by the board.
Second Range in Mountains
Looking TO the establishment of a
second r. &c. the board appointed
Colonel 10 Lane Stern and Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth James to
select a suitable location in the
mountainous part of the State. They
are to report later to the board, and
then the matter of creating this
range will be further considered.
1t was felt that there should event
ually be two ranges, one serving
the country contiguous to the sea
coast, the other being used by the
branches of the service nearer the
mountains.
As many local ranges as may be
necessary Will be established in
other places, with the approval Of
the board, but this section of work
is to be developed further on.
Revision of the regulations for the
Virginia Volunteers was decided
upon. They will be changed so as
to conform to the present needs oil
the service, because the old rules
are obsolete and amended to the
point OF uselessness. a committee
will be appointed by the board tc
perform this duty.
A rifle and pistol range was
granted to the Third company o.
Coast Artillery, located at Ports
mouth.
Camps of Instruction
All infantry officers will be put
in camp of instruction, according
to the decision of the board. The
location will be either PETERSBURG
or Fort Meyer, and the time will bt
arranged so as TO precede the gen
eral infantry encampment. 1t was
also decided to place the Field Ar
tillery officers in a camp of instruc
ton at Fort Riley, Kansas.
Another important decision was
to send the States quota O
troops to the joint manoeuvres with
the regulars and organized militis
at Gettysburg, Penn. While the
date of that encampment is not YET
known, it is thought that it will be
between July 10 and 20.
Just what troops will be designat
ed for the Gettysburg encampment
has not been decided, but it is ex
pected that two regiments and field
artillery will be sent. The organi
cations which do not go will bt
placed in a State camp of instruc
ton, the details of which have moi
been determined.
The Coast Artillery corps will &C
into joint encampment with the reg
ulars at Fort Meyer, at a period tC
be announced la err by the board.
