RAVAGES
ROUSE NEGROES
Colored Population Of State
Working to Help Sales of
Red Cross Seals.

Never since the custom Of selling
Red Cross Christmas seals in this
state was introduced has tho colorcd
population shown such an interest in
tho work. officers OF the State Anti
tuberculosis Association said yester-
day Understanding at length that
each seal sold Is bullet fred In tho
relentless war against tuberculosis,
members Of the negro race III several
Virginia cities have approached the
committee with offers 10 help in the
sale. Workers in the fight on the
white plague regard this as the most
significant fact OF their campaign OF
education.
I'VE take it TO mean that tho no
rroes themselves arc finally coming to
realize that tuberculosis menaces the
continuation of their race" said an
officer of tho association last night
out Of the 3.l40 victims OF tubercu-
losis chartcd last year on the State
death records, more than LOO were
negroes. This Is more startling when
IL is recalled that the colorcd popula
tion OF the state Is less than half the
white population. According TO the
last annual report Of state Health
Commissioner Williams the state
death rate for tuberculosis among
whites is ninetysiX in every 10000
or population. as against a rate OF
ESQ in every 100000 population among
tho negroes.
The interest being shown By tho
negroes themselves in our efforts to
cxterminate the white plague shows
to my mind, that they are beginning

The active intelligent aid OF tho coll

In his annual report Commissioner
vidn a special sanatorium to be used
for the exclusive treatment of al =
vanced cases OF tuberculosis among
negroes. The Same recommend
was contained in the annual report OF
DIR. J. r. Mastin secretary OF the State
Board OF Charities and Corrections.
4 feature OF the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals in Richmond is the
game fight being made by n young
colored girl to win the prizes offered
for the largest sales. Her record to
date Is amazing, and serves to stimu-
late the efforts of both white and col
ored workers.
The artistic littlo seals are being
offered for sale in every town and city

CAUGHT
IN Line Shaft And Legs Are
Badly Mangled
Philip CfevelIng Meets With
Serious Injuries

Philip Crevellng, residing three
miles south Of the city, an oiler at the
Hanover Gas Cos. pumping station,
was caught In the line shaft at that
plant shortly after noon Friday and
was probably seriously injured. He
was whirled violently around when
the shaft rotated and nearly all OF
the clothing was torn from his body,
His legs we're badly mangled.
Shortly after IL o'clock the engineer
at the plant noticed that something
was wrong and that there was hitch
somewhere in the working of the ma.
chinery. He investigated and found
Crevelins In q bad plight as the re.
suit Of his experience with the revolv.
ing shaft He was moved to another
position and q physician from Mt.
Vernon was called to the scene. Tenn.
porary attention was rendered his
wounds and he was brought TO Mt.
Vernon In an ambulance and was TAX
en- directly to the MT. Vernon hospitai
where an examination of his injuries
was made.
The manner in which the unfortun-
ate oiler became entangled in the line
shaft was not known by any Of the
other employees at the plant. Crevel.
ing was alone In the room in which he
met with the accident and he was un-
able TO explain afterward.
When Creveling was brought to the
hospital 1t was discovered that the
bone In his right leg below the knee
was fractured and that he was gener.
ally very badly bruised about the
body. There were numerous bad cuts
about his head. His condition is con.
sidered by the physicians to be seri.
