TUBERCULOSIS DEATH RATE
HERE DECREASING.

a remarkable little document has
been circulated among citizens OF Wash
ington the last few days by the local
Association for the Prevention OF Tu-
berculOsis- It is an appeal for funds
with which to carry forward the work
Of the society, and Il contains, among
other things, a chart showing that the
death rate per 100000 Of population
IN the District Of Columbia from pull
monsTy tuberculosis has been decreas-
ing with astonishing rapidity-
Comparison Of the chart with sta
tistics Of other cities brings the in
formation-which VIII be surprising TO
many-that Washington has an excel
lent tuberculosis record In fact. its
death rate from this disease is among
the lowest shown by any of the larger
cities Of the country.
The table showing the decrease in
the number Of deaths from tuberculosis
IN the District Is interesting, instruct
i've, and encouraging The white and
oolored cases are separated IN the
reckoning and the number Of deaths IN
dictated ere the average per 100000 of
population Tho light line indicates the
deaths of whites and the black line the
deaths Of negroes. The chart follows:

PROPOSED CIVIL SERVICE RE-
TIRENERT LOOKS GOOD

The House Committee on Reform in
the Civil Service has evolved a system
for the retirement of civil employees Of
the Government which appears on its
face to be the most practical plan, IN
theory, that has been proposed for
the solution Of this complex question.
a bin providing a test Of the system
has been drafted and reported to the
House for passage. For numerous, ex-
ceIIent reasons It should be passed at
this session
Briefly, the bill provides for the crea-
ton of retirement annuities by the
deduction OF snail amounts from the
paw Of each person in the civil service.
Il Is limited in its operation 70 the
District of Columbia, but if found TO
be 8 success among the $4,000 en-
pIoyes of the Government here 1t can
easily be made applicable to the entire
civil service
The most attractive feature Of the
plan as agreed TO BY the House com
mittee Is the provision that each en-
pIoye shall have a separate account
with the Government. Each viii get
back what he puts IN, plus interest. and
no one viii profit at the expense of
another OF bear the burden Of snother's
benefits. This viii necessitate an elab-
crate system Of bookkeeping, but the
committee believes the advantages of
the system justify the labor and ex-
pense incident thereto IF the annuity
theory works out as anticipated, the
committees contention VIII be Sound
good. for we are able and should be
willing TO 50 TO great length to put
into operation an economic and jrst
plan for providing for suPerannuated
employees.
There Is no argument as to the vital
need of some method by whicr en-
pIoves IN the civil service may be re-
tired when they arrive at old age. For
humanitarian reasons and because the
good OF the service demands It, the
principle commends itself to the Eub,ie
and has long been advocated by Gov

eminent officials in almost every quar-
ter. The Civil Service Commission.
heads Of departments and bureaus, and
committees Of Congress have been
working more OF less steadily on the
problem for ten years The subject has
been thoroughly threshed out and the
bill just reported for passage repre-
sents what are believed to be the good
points developed and eliminates what
are believed TO be the bad ones. TIE
committee also has had the advantage
Of being able TO profit by the experience
Of other countries.
For these reasons It would seem that
the plan as now proposed is likely to
prove successful if put into operation
1t would surely be wise to give it a
fair trial.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1910-04-23

There can be no doubt that this en-
couraging decrease Is due TO the spread
Of knowledge concerning the proven
ton, treatment, and cure of tubercu-
losis, and u the general improvement
IN the sanitary and hvgienic conditions
under which the community lives.
While iattering, however, the decrease
should not stop where It is today. We
should continue improvement in every
direction, in the hope of decreasing
tuberculosis TO the minimum and per
haPs ultimately eliminating It
OF late years the most effective ont
let for public effort has been through
the Association for the Prevention of
tuberculosis. This society has done a
valuable work, and should receive the
material assistance Of every person who
has the interests Of Washington at
heart and who can possibly afford to
help IN this most vital reform
Among the largest cities which have
3 colOred population Of sufficient size
TO make q noticeable difference IN their
moTtuary statistics, but two show a
death rate from tuberculosis among
whites lower than Washington These
are Birmingham, Ala and Kansas CITY.
No, whose rates are respectively 1858
and 1859. against Washington's lz4.4
for 1908, the same year. Only eight
show a lower rate among coIored IN
habitants
Comparing Washington's 1908 death
rate for white population with the 1903
rates on total population in the fifty
largest cities, where the percentage of
cOlOred population is not great enough
TO affect statistics materially. II Is
found that Washington stands eleventh.
there being but ten cities whose death
rate per 100000 from pulmonary tuber-
culosis is less than 1914
Among the sixty-five cities with which
Washington has been compared the death
rate was found 70 run, IN most cases.
from l5O TO 200. The highest was Jack
sonville, Fla. with rate OF 46I.7 on
total population, 1928 on white populs-
ton, and 5S0-6 on colOred population.
The lowest rate was found in the record
Of Grand Rapids,-1Iich-, and was 7S9
These comparative figures were OBJ
tanned from the records OF the District
Health Office and Of the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service. They are
reliable, and can easily be verified by
any one who wishes to take the trouble
