Education Chief Function.

Mr. Jenkins insisted that the chief
function Of a local anti-tuberculosfs asso-
citation was educational and not remedial.
Of exhibits, lectures. posters. newspaper
articles, he said, and in many other
ways. Another function of the associa-
ton must be that OF giving inspiration
and suggestion to others.
Mr.. Jenkins contended that the tubercu-
losis committee in Brooklyn. Of which he
is the secretary, had done It's best work
when it secured the assistance of the city
and private hospitals and others in doing
work which the committee itself could
never undertake.
He recommended In raising funds to Sc
cure q large number OF small donations
rather than few large ones. and advised
special collections in churches and Sun
day schools for special KINDS or work.
In conclusion, he said:
"In some localities the situation Ii sucn
that a tuberculosis committee IL reaiiy
forced to do a certain amount of relief
work, but the responsibility for this re-
lief, even II initiated by the committee,
should be placed as soon as possible on
the shoulders OF some regular relief or
ganizatlOn, which maps 10 not running
It's tntire duty to public"
Among those who participated In the
discussion following Mr.. Jenkins paper
were H. Writ Steele of Baltimore. j

afternoon. and the first subject offered

Weston Starts on Last Lap
Followed by Cheering Mob

YONKERS. N. Y. May 2.-Refreshed
from his rest here over Sunday Edward
Payson Weston, the seventy-two-year-old
pedestrian, set out early today on the
last twenty miles of his ocean-to-ocean
walk begun at Los Angeles, Cal, Feb
ruary 1 last Despite the early hour a
crowd of several hundred persons had as
sembled in front of the hotel where Wes-
ten had spent the night. and it was with
difficulty that he succeeded in forcing his
way through the cheering throng into the
road.
He was In high sspirits and took the
buffeting by the crowd with good humor
In answer to the encouraging greeting
''Bully for YOU old fellow" yelled at him
by some admirer In the crowd he retort-
ed in mock resentment: II am not an old
fellow, thank you; feel like two-year-
old"
Had Escort Of Police.
An escort of police had been provided
by the Yonkers authorities. and as Wes-
ton swung down the road at 7:20 o'clock,
headed for the New York city line. the
bluecoats opened the way for him. Be
hind came hundreds afoot and long
line Of automobiles footing their horns.
The feat which Edward Payson Wes-
ton brings to a happy conclusion today
Is unique In the annals of sport. The
original program called for the covering
OF the distance from the Pacific to the
Atlantic-approximate $3.50 miles-in
ninety walking days In the face Of
rains and storms. in defiance Of heat
and cold. undeterred by numerous minor
accidents. and in the last stages Of the
Journey trudging along in spite Of q
sprained ankle. the heroic old man has
made 1t in seventy-seven days.
Glorious as is this accomplishment
from the point Of view Of sport pure
and simple, 1t assumes the character
Of greatness when 1T Is considered,
first, that Weston is seventy-two years
old. and second, that no tempting
monetary prize was held out as a re-
ward for hts feat.

progress in many methods OF treat
ment Of tuberculosis was noted In the
preliminary reports presented. and the

garding the accepted plans OF proven
ton. treatment and cure.
Nearly 100 physicians, specialists in

when Dr. Edward G. Janeway, the pres
ident, called the first general meeting
Janeway gave not only a summary OF
the results accomplished within the
twelve months just ended. but he pre-
sented a resume Of the whole history

mastery of what a few years ago was
one of the most dreaded diseases in the
category of human ills.
DR.. Janeway referred particularly to the
early work of villemin. the French ex-
perimenter, in the early sixties and to
the epoch making discoveries of Robert
Koch

Much enthusiasm was OccaSiOned by
the report of the executive secretary, DR..
Livingstone Farrand Of New York. After
detailing initial work undertaken by the
association in various states Of the south
and Of the middle west. DR.. Farrand de-
clared that the educational propaganda
Of the National Association is now being
spread over the whole United States at
regular intervals in the form Of bulletins,
issued from the associations headquar-
tiers and carried by all four Of the lead
ing press associations.
He spoke of the good accomplish Cd
recently by the effort to have the
churches generally observe q "Tuber-
culosis Sunday" More than $4,000
churches held such a service Sunday
April a." said DR.. Farrand.
The secretary spoke of the acceptance
by the association of the donation OF
all vacant billboard space in the coun-
cient number Of posters printed to COW
er them. Thirty thousand posters were
printed and displayed last year.
An extension Of the work to China, sc
that the campaign Of education OF the
National Association is spreading through
the whole OF the howery kingdom, was
noted by DR.. Farrand as the result OF
special folders and other Information hav.
ing been prepared for distribution among
the 600 young Chinese students who art
now In different schools and colleges OF
dents are said to be tubertular. and the
information given to them for their owr
guidance was translated by them into
Chinese and sent to their homes, and In
this way the work found itD inception ir

Tho Timid Young Bride Coached by
Her Husband

Tho Timid Young Bride Coached BY
Her Husband.
A young bride who belonged to
charity club and sometimes had to go
out alone after dark was very much
afraid of being stopped aud robbed.
Her husband disliked to provide her
with a revolver, but he bought
pupchinc bag and showed her how to
use her fists and where to place the
most telling blow in case of molesta-
ton.
Below the belt. mind you," he ad-
iured her-''below the belt. Such
blow If properly planted will make
man sorry quicker than anything. II
any one steps out in front of you your
course will be easy. If he comes up
behind you swing round suddenly and
strike out hard. The robber will re-
pent of his evil ways in hurry"
That night was the brides late even
ing, and she happened to be coming up
the street just in front Of her husband
when he saw her. and the spirit of mis-
chief took possession Of him.
"Wonder if she'd really do as told
her or if her little fists would hurt
any one?' he pondered.
Two seconds later he found out.
Walking up behind his wife, he laid a
heavy hand upon her shoulder. He
had no time in which to say anything.
and she made no effort in that direc-
ton. She simply obeyed his instruc-
tions to the letter. swinging round
with suddenness which completely
disconnected him. and delivered blow
| that made all the rest of his predic-
! tions come true
Then she fed home with the speed
and energy Of frightened deer. not
even waiting to cast single glance at
the discounted man who had, as she
supposed, endeavored to rob her. She
passed the remainder Of the evening in
alternately weeping out her nervous
ness upon her husbands shoulder and
wondering why he looked so pale.

Lots of time for lots of things,
Though it's said that time has wings
There is always time to find
Ways of being sweet and kind.
There is always time to share
Smiles and goodness everywhere:
Time to send the frowns away,
Time a gentle word to say.
Time for helpfulness and time
To assist the weak to climb.
Time to give a little flower.
Time for friendship any hour.
But there is no time to spare
For unkindness anywhere.
