Charles H. S%tuernberg, an American
explorer, declares he has found the
skeleton of a duck bill dinosaur 80 feet

5000 pounds, which lived that many
years ago. How old the earth was
when the dinosaur appeared you will
have to guess.

saw that prOtoplasm, stimulated by an
outer force teither physical or chemical

intelligent and purposeful in the fly lay

Yet he bound the acts. different as they

Report of Work Done During Past Year and
Plans for Next Year in the District
Is Made Public.

An aggressive health programme for
the District OF Columbia is outlined in
the fourth annual report of the Associa-
ton for the Prevention of Tuberculosis.
This report has just appeared for distri-
button to the members of the association
and others interested in its work. The
programme is a comprehensive one. The
report is both a review of the work done
during the past year and what remains
to be accomplished in order to make the
fight against tuberculosis a winning one.
That already much has been achieved is
shown by the gradual reduction of the
death rate as depicted in graphic form
on page two OF the report.
The association has adopted eight
planks in its platform. These are:
More adequate appropriation for Health
Department.
School nurses.
Municipal tuberculosis nurses.
More fresh-air schoolrooms.
Open-air school for tuberculosis chill
dren.
Increased appropriation for municipal
tuberculosis hospital.
Pasteurization and general standardiza-
ton of commercial milk supply for the
District
Law for compulsory removal of care
