Dispatch, and continues:
THE recent action of the board of di-

granting leave of absence for six
months to its president, Geo. Westing

significance than mere concern of his
colleagues for Mr.. Westinghouse

Perhaps 1t is true.' a well known
financier suggested. that Mr. Westing-
house and Mr.. Mather. the chairman of
the Westinghouse board, could not
agree upon a policy regarding the COM
pany's foreign properties and that Mr..
Westinghouse has decided to let them
go along for while without him.
"a Pittsburg stockholder in the
Westinghouse concern asserted posi-

advices from New York informing him

stated as a settled fact that the merg-
ing of the Westinghouse and General
Electric company is merely a question
of a very short time. It was he who
intimated that the Westinghouse leave
of absence story was the first stepping
stone in a we'll laid plan for the total
elimination of George Westinghouse
from the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing company. and once that
was accomplished, there would be a
clear road to combination"

to recite the words as it was told by
him, but I will give you the sub

MUST REGISTER ALL
CASES OF CONSUMPTION
Laymen AS Well AS Physicians Obliged
To Make Reports To the Health
Office.

A vigorous effort is being made by
the Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis as
ISOLATION to enfurce the state law
which requires all persons, whether
physicians or laymen, to report i'm
mediately all cases of consumption to
the health authorities for registration
as soon as they come to notice.
THE Ieasonableness of this law is
not as generally recognized by either
the attending physicians or the
families cf patients as it should BE-
Apparently health officers, even, do
not appreciate how much, influence
the enforcement of the law would
have in proving public health.
1t vas for the purpose of bringing
out concrete first hand evidence from
actual conditions right here in Wis
consin, that association undertook
the investigation project. The work
was begun in Milwaukee as presenting
the biggest individual problem
The association now has facts and
does not need to depend upon expert
ence of others for argument.
Zone case, out of large number
on record is of careless consumptive
who has moved repeatedly. Other
families have moved into the houses
vacated and been subjected to infec-
ton. A few days ago one of the as
sociation's visitors found a family
with many young children moving
into the last house vacated by this
consumptive. The health department.
upon being notified, disinfected that
house at once.
Nothing very great is going to be
accomplished until all patients are
registered. We can protect ourselves
against dangers that we knuw about,
but it is we'll nigh impossible to pro-
tect ourselves against an enemy that
is completely hidden.
The associaLon's bulletin calls upon
every city to furnish one enthusiast
who will demand that the law be en-
forced not because it is the law-but
to cut down a needless source of much
infection.
