WANT THE EMBLEM UNIFORM
Association That 10 Fighting Tuhercu-
Iosis Gives Exact Proportions Of
It's Double Red Cross. .G5

"A special committee OF the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis, Of which DR..
Henry Barton Jacobs of Baltimore is
chairman, has Just announced the ex-
act proportions Of the double red
cross, the international tuberculosis
emblem, which have been adopted for
use in the United States. Every or
ganization or institution dealing with
tuberculosis will be urged to use the
emblem In its correct proportions. Al
thou gh the double red Cross was adopt
ed for use in the United States in 1906
as the symbol OF the crusade against
tuberculosis, no effort was made to
standardize the shape or proportions,
with the result that hundreds OF diff
ferently formed emblems are now be-
ing used In this country. After q year
OF study OF the history and artistic
merits OF all OF the designs available
the National association has finally
chosen one in which all of the arms
are pointed. the two cross-arms being
Of the. same length. The width Of the
cross Is taken as the unit In determin.
ing the proportions. The length Of
the lower left is seven units, the arms
are three units on either side, the
point above the arms two and one-half
units and the distance between the
arms one and one-half, units. These
measurements hold good for any size.

We Are Behind in Aviation. &

Europe is in earnest in seeking the
ultimate conquest of the air. while
America looks on as the spectator of
a contest in which she was once SUI
preme. The chief reason why mill
tary aeronautics fail to go ahead In
America is that the government does
not make the pursuit of the science re-
muneratiye enough to attract the best
qualified experts to engage in It. The
only way by which America can re-
gain her lost laurels is for the govern.
ment to pay its military birdmen lib.
orally for their risks and guarantee
the support OF their families In case OF
disability or death. At present the
newest military arm of the service is
undermanned, inadeQuatelv equipped
and poorly paid. Notwithstanding the
fact that an American officer perfected
the most deadly housekeeping device
and thereby secured for our coast de.
lenses an invulnerable offensive ally.
