VALUABLE NJ PS.

The Virginia Geological Survey will
soon have ready for distribution two
very important and valuable maps.
One Of these, the mines and quarres
map, can now be bad on application 10
the director, DR.. Thomas /. Watson,
at the survey office at University,
Virginia. The other. the geological
map Of the state, now in press, will be
available within a few weeks. Either
ofthese two maps may be had by any
citizen OF the state who incloses In his
communication Of request to the dl.
rector, the normal sum Of four cents to
cover postal charges.
Both OF the maps above referred to
evidence the great amount OF excellent
work that this state scientific bureau
has accomplished since its establish
ment by the general assembly In 1908.
But in addition to issuing the mines
and quarries map and the geological
map OF the state, the state geological
survey has also published number OF
timely and instructive bulletins in
which the potentialities Of the mineral
resources are made known for the
first time in clear and accurate way
calculated to attract capital and thus
lead to industrial development which !,
without the dissemination Of this in
formation. 1t might take years to bring
about. The beneficial direct and indi-
rect effects resulting from the activities
OF an organization of this SOFT, OBJ,

far-reaching in making for the develop
ment Of the Astounding mineral re-
sources Of the Old Dominion. and this
can mean but one thing-the enrich

to put down the insurrection-a viola
ton Of public law aud international

took the Panama Canal out OF the

delivered on the floor. and then SEND
ing tho record out to constituents to
create the false impression that the
words were actually spoken on the
floor, is pernicious and constitutes
lie on it's face.

that the council of state, to which has
been referred the question of suppress
ing the champagne territorial delimita-
ton, will decide against such action.
thereby multiplying the action Of the
senate, which resulted in such fearful
destruction of property in the Marine
department.

other towns in Marine are believed to
have convinced the government that a
change in the present law: would re-
suit in the permanent Gripping Of the

went to her room, but did not go to

FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL IA

WIDELY different views as to the
best means for conducting an ethc'ent
warfare against the spread OF tuoer-
culosis we're expressed by speakers at
the closing session OF the first Penn
svlvania conference of tuberculosis
workers at the College of Physicians on
Saturday. The weight OF opinion ex'
pressed at the conference was IN favor
Of greater effort along preventive ilhes.
This was disputed by DR.. Thomas W.
NAYS, of Philadelphia, who SAID that
he did not agree with the directors OF
the PiEpps Institute. and that the
segregation or fresh-air system alone
would not cure any one permanently
Of consumption. He attacked tht
present tuberculosis crusade later In al
interview as farcical, misleading and
hindrance rather than aid to the ultl
mate thorough understanding and cure
OF the disease. DR.. Mays compared
present effects to a little wave OF pre-
yention which swept over continental
Europe 100 years ago and which proved
futile in checking the spread OF the
disease. Porter r. Lee, secretary OF
the Philadelphia Society for Organizing
Charity, expressed a different ldei
from that OF DR.. Mays. His remarks
we're Endorsed by DR.. H. r. II. Lands
clinical director of the Phipps Institute
Mr.. Lee was decidedly radical in nj
views. He said:
II the families won't try to mann
tain the necessary precautions, II th'
able bodied members won't work ant
continue to drink, | am IN favor o
refusing them further assistance unit
they come to their senses. 1t ls no
right nor fair to the community t
Keep a consdmptive in house where
he or she can spread contaglon over al
entire neighborhood, just to share tn
feelings of the family.
Other speakers were Miss CAROLYN
Durkee and Miss Anna K. Sutton
Both spoke from the point of view o
, the trained nurse, and declared that tn
Eight against the disease should begll
in the homes with visits and social ser
vie, with camps for advanced stages
OF the disease and hospitals for hopeless:
cases, where the patients could be Sc
aregated. Again, when doctors dis
agree, who shall decide?
