nus four and Neptune one, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. OF course
new lunar additions are likely to be
discovered nj any time. although IL is
improbable that Mercury and Venus
have any satellites or that Mars has
more than two.
The two known moons of Mars are.
indeed very minute. neither being over
fifty miles In diameter. On the other
hand, Jupiter's first four satellites, as
well as Ganymede. are each larger
than Queen Luna. Gonymede having Il
diameter OF about $3.50 miles. Titan
Of Saturn possesses a diameter approx
imating 5000 miles, while that of Nep-
tunes sole satellite is about 1000 miles.
AS respects our own moon, Queen
Luna has only one-forty- the size
and one-eighty-first the weight of our
earth. Luna's distance from us varies
good deal from 221, 900 miles to 252,-
900 miles. Her mean or average dis
lance is about 23S,0OO miles.

HALF MILLION LOSS.
investigation Shows tuberculosis
Drains Resources of People.


An actual money loss in wages and
institutional care Of $500,023.O0 was
sustained by the City OF Boston and
by 500 male consumptives studied by
DR. Edwin A. Locke and DIR. Cleveland
Floyd of the Out-Patient Department
of the Boston COnsumptives Hospital
This is but one OF many interesting
conclusions presented by these ply 2
siclans in the March Journal of the
outdoor Life CNew York;, the official
organ Of The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis
In order TO ascertain the actual
economic loss from tuberculosis. Drs.
Locke and Floyd selected at random
500 male cases. men who had visited
the dispensary during the last five
years. 24i of the cases studied were
dead when the investigation was begun
and ESQ were living. over Al per cent
Of the men were between the ages of
twenty and thirty-nne.
1t was found ON May !. 1911, the date
OF the investigation, that the 24i dead
men had each lost on an average Of
5S.O3 weeks az work from the time of
the onset Of their disease until death.
The average weekly rate Of wages of
these men was Sl1.S9 and their total
loss i'm wages amounted To N70,965.
The 256 living cases each lost on an
average 1913 weeks of work at an aver
age wage of Sl1.3S or o total loss of
S255.O74. making $4,000 lost IN wages
alone by both groups
In addition TO this large sum, II cost
the City of Boston s7S,gS4 to care for
these 500 men in its public hospitals
and other institutions. This commun-
ity loss Is exclusive Of the large sums
that were spent by private organiza
lions on 100 out of these 500 cases.
Az of the 800 men had families with
an average of 4.S2 members. Com
the investigators say:
The direct result on the family in
come of the disability of the chief
bread winner is well shown by the
comparison of the total and average
weekly income of the Az families be-
fore the onset OF illness and after the
beginning OF the stage of complete dis
ability. In the first instance the total
weekly income from all sources was
S6S0G29 or an average Of $3.50, while
in the latter the total weekly income
was only S305j.60, or an average of
$7.S6. a decline of 65 per cent one
hundred and sixty-one families were
without income of any sort during the
period of complete disability OF the
patient, while the total weekly income
previous TO this stage was SlS77.75.'
II to all Of these losses were added
the capitalized value of the earnings
cut OFF BY DEATH" Drs. Locke and
Floyd estimate that the loss of the 244
dead cases alone would bring the total
up to nearly 100000. And II to these
100 cases actually studied were added
the $4,000 living cases in Boston. they
estimate the loss To the individuals
and the city would amount to many
millions of dollars.
These figures Of the economic loss
caused by tuberculosis, they conclude
present the most complete iustiflca-
ton for the money Boston has spent
in tuberculosis work, and show why
other communities should not hesitate
for fear Of expense to attack the tn
berculosis problem

STRIPED MATERIALS ARE
POPULAR THIS SUMNER
. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

STRIPED materials this summer are
in fashionable favor AS a rule.
stripes are more becoming than figured
designs or even plain fabrics. for they
give length and slenderness the two
most sought after effects this season.
There is no hard and fast rule as TO the
size OF the stripe, and IL is astonishing
how many different widths there are in
the seasons materials Often differ
ent widths OF them are used in the
same gown
Black and white is most effective,
but there are also colored stripes that
are smart which are in one tone of
color. but in different shades. or two
completely contrasting colors that I'M
I'll now would never be thought possi-
BILE for the Same pattern. Two shades
OF color IN blue. N cerise. in green and
yellow are among the novelties ;hat
have worked out well.
Striped foulard silks are among the
favocites this summer. the white and
black and tire black and white being
the most liked. The white and black,
as can be easily understood. looks
much lighter than the black with white
stripe. one advantage in favor of
striped silks Is that the material re-
! quircs little trimming, for the stripes
/ in themselves are so effective that
! there IS no monOtony. and the rule is
| TO use the material in such manner
| that these stripes can be put on at
! right angles with each other in bands
or folds. Occasionally-and this is one
