and a quarter miles. The council tenta-
lively agreed on tho other streets to be
improved, but as they will likely total
more than the remaining mileage, the
sergeant was instructed to ascertain
their exact measurements and report
same at the next meeting of the coun-
Gil, at which time those least needing
improvement will be eliminated so as to
not be in excess of the remaining mile
age, and that the council may be able
to advise the board of supervisors just

WORLDS GREATEST
OCEAN DISASTER
Steamship TitantiC, on Her Maiden Voyage,
COlIideS With Giant Iceberg OFT Coast of
Newfoundland and 1902 Perish.

The greatest ocean-going steamship
ever constructed, the Titanic, of the
White Star Line, bound from Liverpool
to New York on her maiden voyage.
collided with a giant iceberg about 100
miles east of New York at 1925 SUNDAY
night, and within the short space of
few hours thereafter plunged to a
watery grave in the deep blue bosom of
the Atlantic.
Thirteen hundred and two of the pas
sengers aboard went down with the gal
liant ship, while eight hundred and sixty
eight survive to relate the horrors at
tending the accident, the most stipend
GUS in the history of all marine nayiga-
tion.
Following close upon the accident, the
wireless operator aboard the Titanic
flashed out message summoning help,
and within period of thirty minutes
half dozen or more powerful ships
within the zone of distress were churn-
ing the sea into foam as they sped on
ward to aid of the stricken mistress of
the seas. In the meantime, the women
and children on the Titanic were being
conveyed to life boats, and at daybreak
on Monday morning when the great ship
Carpathia arrived on the scene, all those
surviving, numbering S68, were taken
aboard. The Titanic, with her crew
and the remaining passengers, 1902 in
all, had gone down, however, hours be-
fore the Carpathia put in her appear
ance. The ship coIlided with the ice
berg at 1925 p. m, and in exactly three
hours and fifty-three minutes after re-
ceiving her death blow, the Titanic
disappeared from view.
Left in the wake of the sunken vessel
however, were the little life boats filled
with terror-stricken women and child
ren, the male passengers chivalousry
seeing to it that they were given this
opportunity Of escape, and this accounts
Tor the fact that so many women and
children were saved by the arrival of
the Csrpathia.
For the rest the scene as the Car
pathia came up was one of desolation.
All that remained of the S10, 200, 900
floating palace, on which nearly 1,4OO
passengers had been voyaging luxuiously
to this side of the Atlantic. were some
bits of wreckage. The biggest ship in
the world had gone down snuffing out in
her downward plunge hundreds of hu-
man lives.
Notable persons, travellers on the IT,

of definite advices as to the identify of
the survivors are, John Jacob Astor.

THE CAMPAIGN OF HOPE.
Public Responsibility for Tuberculosis

Public Responsibility for Tuberculosis
In the United States an active
campaign is being waged by the Ma
tional association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis through
its press bureau and through public
speakers and meetings. This action
is reinforced by great number of
public and private agencies and it is
estimated that 100000 a year is
being expended in the United States
in combating this disease.
In a number of states there are
well organized campaigns, and a
brief description of the methods by
which this campaign is being carried
in in New York and may serve TO
Illustrate the methods relied on to re-
strict the spread of disease.
Under the direction of the State
Charities Aid association and the
State Department of Health the
knowledge of the methods by which
tuberculosis is spread and the dan
gers of careless eXpectoration, and
the methods to be employed to ward
off the disease are being brought
home to every person in the state
in variety of ways. Newspaper
articles and advertisements, street
car signs and billboard displays,
cards to be placed in the pay envel-
opes of working men and to be dis
tributed in schools and churches. con-
tain concise and valuable informa-
ton.
tuberculosis exhibits are displayed
at county fairs and in the various
towns and cities and week-long meet
ings are held in the larger places
Smaller travelling exhibits with pho
nograph records and lectures are sent
TO the lesser towns. City, village
and county Organizations are formed
in the different parts of the state
to cooperate in the work and are
supplied with material for use in
Local exhibits, lectures and meetings
The slogan adopted for the crusade
is No Uncared For Tuberculosis in
1G15."
To this end a special campaign is
being conducted to bring about the
erection of hospitals and sanatoriams
in every county in the state. For
cases which cannot readily be trans
ferred to such Institutions a visiting
nurse who can call upon tuberculosis
persons in their homes and exercise
supervision over their cases is a
needed supplementary measure. With
these provisions, which include moth
ing impossible or difficult, nor even
a very heavy expense tuberculosis
can be eradicated, perhaps not in 10
years nor in 20, but certainly within
the next two generations. The prop
er care of ali existing cases of tuber-
culosis as of typhoid would mean that
no new cases could develop.
