Gratifying Sign That the People Are
Awake to Value Of fight Against
tuberculosis.

Compared WITH the expenditures for
tuberculosis work in 1910. those of the
past year are practically the same IN
the aggregate. but they are almost
double those Of 1909. The National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis. in its third an
nual statement points out, however
What 1t considers nor Significant
thar the aggregate expenditures
namely, that the percentage OF money
spent from public funds Is greater In
1911 than ever before. being $50 per
cent Of the total In 1909 emily ssh
per cent Of the total expenditures
was from public funds, and in 1910
It had increased to 62.6 per cent. In
1911 over $9,600.00 OF the $14.500,V 00
spent was from federal, state. munict'
pal or county funds. Since the ehie'
work of the anti-tubercuIosts assoeia'
tons is to urge the public authorities
to provide for tuberculosis patients,
and thus to assume the responsibility
for stamping out this disease. the In
creased percentage OF public money
Is regarded as a very favorable siSn
Of progress.
Appropriations Of over $40. o00, o0e
for tuberculosis work In 1919 have al
ready been made by state legislatures
and municipal and county bodies. Oh
this sum about $4,000 900 Is from
state appropriations. and about IS,
700, 900 for county and municipal
purposes. In addition 10 these sums,
the federal government spends abou,
100000 every year supporting Its

NOTED AVIATOR VICTIM
Of TYPHOID FEVER
Was a Man Who Followed The Liqht
OF His Dreams And Built a Machine
That Stands Out AS One OF The
Wonders of Century of Invention.
(By Associated Press.)

Dayton, o., May 30.-Wilbur Wright,
the noted aviator, died this morning
of typhoid fever. Death came after
the distinguished patient had fingered
four days and nights under burning
fever.
Wright was born at Millville, Indi-
ana, in 1867. A narrative of Wilbur
Wright's career is the story of man
who followed the light of his dreams
and contrived a machine for aerial
navigation that stands out spectacular
ly among the wonders of a century OF
invention. Wilbur Wright with his
brother, Orville, dreamed of building
a craft that would dart through the
air with speed of a hawk, that would
defy storm, that would transform the
are of welfare and revolutionize the
methods of transportation. In the
nine years that followed their first sue
cessful tests they have seen their aero
plane driven more than two miles up
into space, have heard the purr OF
their machine as they whiled on way
across the continent and have watched
great crowds stand aghast as the
graceful biplane scared threateningly
over the fighting masts of giant war
ships.
