ST. TANfMANY WANTS MOOSE

The ozone belt of St. Tammany
parish will be considered seriously
before final selection Of the site for
the National Moose Sanitarium for
Treatment OF Members Suffering
from tuberculosis Is made by the

Samuel J. Hart, Of New Orleans,
is a member of that commission, and
he, in company with Charles Nc
Gehee, Of San Diego, visited the
health zone OF St. Tammany parish
during the last few days, and it is
certain the excellent reports from
that section will be weighed serious
~ by the commission before the Sc
lection is made in July OF the COM
ing year.
Colorado Springs, Denver, Les We
ges, various points In Arizona, AL
berqueque and other points have
been making strong bids in the hope
the Moose commission will select the
site at one Of the localities mention
ed. Members of the commission
have visited the cities mentioned,
have carefully gone into the health
and climatic reports, transportation
facilities and other advantages and
it is more than probable the final se-
lection will be made at the annual
convention in San Diego during the
summer of the coming year.

believes, will make payments without

While more than two weeks yet re-
main in which to make payments un-
der the law. the collections to date
have come principally from the small
err corporations doing business in the
state and slightly more than one-third
of the total number of domestic and
foreign corporations have paid their
tax. The Union Pacific is the first of
the big railroads to make payment in
Kansas. 1t is probable that their ex-

under the law.
