FOR COUNTRYWIDE EFFORT
Foes of Tuberculosis Have Plan to Use Most Powerful Weapon
 on Earth.

April 30 has been set aside this year as Tuberculosis Day" and will be ob- served in a manner similar to that of Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910. when 10000 sermons were preached on the prevention of tuberculosis. In the first official announcement of the occasion. made by the national asso- citation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the leaders of the movement state that they hope to en- list all of the 33,OO000O church mem bers in country.
 In one respect Tuberculosis day will differ from Tuberculosis Sunday of 1910. Instead of requesting the churches to give to the tuberculosis cause a special Sunday service. the national association is going to ask this year that meetings, at which the subject of tuberculosis and It's pre- vention can be discussed. be held on Sunday, April 90. or on any other day near that date, either In the week preceding or the week following What We went" says Mir Living ston Farrand. executive secretary of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. in a report on this movement, "is to have this whole subject of tuberculosis dis cussed in all of the 1000 churches of the United States at as nearly the same time as possible"

McCurdy and his biplane were taken on board. At first it was thought the aviator could make a new start from the deck of the destroyer, but this proved impracticable, and after considerable delay the Paula ing brought the outfit into Havana harbor

 in cross-seas flying. Compared with the 1Smile flights across the English channel the performance stands out as remarkable
 When he was forced to descend, McCurdy had made the longest over sea flight in the history of aviation, unless Cecil Grace. who was lost in the North Sea. had made a greater distance before he was drowned
 The aviation meeting opened yester- day and the flight of McCurdy across the Florida strait was looked forward to as the big feature
 Crowds Hooked to the aviation field. four miles out of the city. early in the day. Others sought places of vantage on housetops When word came that the aviator had started from Trumbo island. Key West. the news was quickly passed along and the excitement was intense
 Reports Thrill Watchers.
 The wireless reports from the de- stroyers saying that MeCurdy was coming fast gave repeated thrills to the watchers, and by the time he was due here business was all but sus- pended.
 The Paulding was about 90 miles off shore, and when she reported that the racer had passed overhead, going strong, thousands of eyes were strained seaward Then there was prolonged interval, during which there was no sight of. or word from, the airman.
 There was a feeling of relief min gled with the disappointment at the receipt of the report that he had dropped into the water, but was rid ing the waves in security.
 The flight was for a prize of 5000 offered by the Havana Post and 5000 appropriated by the Havana city coun- eil. It is suggested that McCurdy shall be paid part of the prize money.

Johnson had everything known to the
pitching art except wildness. and until
he eased up after a comfortable lead
had been obtained the Browns looked
as foolish as a fat woman on a fire
