COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
increase Of sanatoris and Hospitals
for Consumptlves Is Most
Gratifying.

The growth OF the crusade against
tuberculosis In the United States Is
shown to good advantage In the two
directories that have been issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis and
the one In preparation. The first tu-
berculosis directory published In 1904.
by the tuberculosis committee OF the
New York Charity Organization Socie-
ty and the National Association listed
1873 sanatoria aud hospitals for con
sumptives in the United States. for
some of which preliminary provision
only has been made. The combined
capacity of these institutions was only
5000 beds. Thirty.two special dis
pensaries and thirty.nine anti'tubercu.
losis organizations summed up prac.
ucally all OF the fighting force emit
merated in the Hrst directory. The
second directory was prepared by the
National Association for the study and
Prevention OF tuberculosis and pub.
lished under the auspices Of the Rus.
sell Sage Foundation in August, 1908.
This directory listed 24O sanatorla and
hospitals. an increase Of l07 from the
former directory; 1873 dispensarIes, an
Increase OF 1926: and 1876 associations,
M increase of 1856. The number OF
hospital beds listed In 1908 was l4.0l4.
The new directory that will be Is
sued soon. will list over 400 sanatoria
and hospitals with bed capacity OF
nearly $4,000, more than 300 special
tuberculosis dispensaries: and fully
450 antl.tuberculosis associations and
committees. Since the first directory
was issued In 1904, the increase in
the number OF agencies fighting con
sumption aggregates nearly 500 per
cent
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF tuberculosis
would like to get in touch with all
agencies engaged In the fight against
tuberculosis, In order that they may
be listed in the new directory.

"Horace, the Man Here-Ne Has

The fish market man brought out the

him three times that day was trying
for the fourth bite.
Mr.. White had to take the Elm

Miss Henderson. They didn't meet

But now, one was to be disclosed.
Mr.. White was sensitive about car

Miss Kitty Henderson bought all
her shses at Smith & Browns. She
didn't do so because she had any
wish to keep the Arm out OF bank
ruptcy. but because Horace Walpole
White was one OF the clerks. because
he complimented her on her instep'
because she was stenographer. bo-
cause Horace was fine young man.
and because. in time, they became
good friends-and more.
Mr.. Walpole was no villain. lie

with his widowed mother, He had
thoughts of matrimony. When Miss
Kitty came along with her number
two-and.a.half feet, with high and
dainty instop, he quite lost his heart.
He had paid more attention to the
instep than to the face, but Miss Kitty
had fair-looking face and figure.
Miss Kitty also lived with her Wild
owed mother. She also earned sal

glanced at tho young mans feet, and
cared not cent whether he had a
high or low instep. but she also had
thoughts OF matrimony. Why not?
Like sensible girl. she was not

adds speed as one OF the essentials Of
the game. Speed. no matter how ap-

in the excess of speed lies the danger.

view. The formations Of old are gone.
There will be no line play this season.
The old mass attack is gone for we have
seven men on the line this year. There
will be a few quick plays directed at
the line. but no more continued banging

DISTRICT COLLEGE FOOTBALL STARTS MONDAY
Mccartney, Famous FOrdham End,
Matriculates at Georgetown and
Will Be Out for Team.

Football will be formally ushered in
here tomorrow when the two District
colleges. Georgetown and George Wash
ingtOn, together with three high school
squads, will have their initial tryouts.
1t was only by a complete change OF the
gridirOn code by the rule makers last
winter that makes football possible for
Georgetown. The Hnltoppers abandoned
their schedule after the game with Vir-
GINA last November and announced that
unless radical changes were instituted
Georgetown was through with football
for good and all. The changes eliminating
to a great degree chances of danger have
been made, and now the Hnltoppers are
eager for the fray.
Capt. Dap Daley, Of the West Side Col
lege, arrived in town last night. and was
in conference with Coach Fred Nelson,
the man who turned out such a great
team for George Washington in 1905 Both
coach and captain are confident that the
Hilltoppers will be strong contenders for
South Atlantic championship honors this
season First-class material is expected
from the ranks Of the freshmen class,
while there will be the majority OF last
seasons eleven from which TO pick.
McCanrey for Georgetown.
Probably the real find of the season,
and one sure to bring Joy to the hearts Of
coach and captain. Is the announcement
that McCaffrey, Fordhams great end last
year. who was picked by Walter Camp
for the All-American third eleven. has
entered Georgetown. and will be out for
the team.
Several well-known schoolboy athletes
from New England are also expected for
the incoming freshman class. It was
learned last night that Harry j. Costello.
of Meriden. Conn, will matriculate next
week
Costello, though only nineteen years old.
is one Of the fastest players that the
Connecticut schools have produced. Last
year he captained the high school team
in Meriden and easily gained a position
on the Southern New England interscho-
lastic eleven.
