tc pass upon. 1t is therefore of interest to me to note the Launching of the Tuberculosis Campaign written by Mrs, Ullman in the social service department of The Birmingham Age-Herald, The whole affair seems faulty to me to great extent, because of the fact that the ne- groes are left out. To say that there is no color line on disease is repeating 2 ttuism that is as old and often said as it is sensible and yet right here in the south-in Birminghan-where so many negroes live, where so many of them are afflicted with tueberculosis in all it's stages, practically no effort Is being made to save tEem or to help them.
 There is but little use in taking care of the negroes after all the white peo- pie have been cared for. There will be white people to care for in an increasing degree so long as the negroes are neg lected The white man who is ever SC careful of his health and his family S health is no more immune from tuber- culosis than l and my family were, so long as so many of our people are neg lected and continue to do the chores and the laundry and the like.
 I should like to urge, without being con. sjdered ''out of my place. that the ne- groes be considered in Birmingham anG throughout the south in the campaign POW being launched. It should not all be left to them. Their children in the schools should be considered, and even if the leaders in the tuberculosis move ment in Birmingham do not feel that "the time is ripe'' to help the negroes, it is greatly to be hoped that the leaders among the colored people will take it upon themselves to push tuberculosis week this year so that some money will be on hand in somebody's care to take care of needy people of our race who aelt. I .lf stages.
 It is sad commentary on the injustice of things that the very people who need help most to fight this disease are de- nied it because no arrangements are made for them on account of their color The colored person in Birmingham who gets any treatment for tuberculosis at all must pick himself up bag and baggage and go to far-off Colorado, away from friends and loved ones, simply because of his color.

 v~~~~~~~ Tut he's afraird. I have one advantage there I open his mouth so widely that he is forced to close 1t little before he could get purchase enough to crush my head. This gives me time to withdraw my head. Frequently the lion will pinch you with his teeth. and about half the
 time I have sores on my face where his teeth have broken the skin.' MT. Schweyer Is protege of old Karl
 Hagenbeck of Hamburg, and has spent the greater part of his life with the ani- mals. He came to the United States in 1902 with the Hagenbeck show which ap- peared at the St. Louis and Chicago worlds fairs. and has been in this coun- try since. He did considerable training in Germany before coming to this coun- try, appearing all over Germany as young as he was.
 Animals do not necessarily have to know you to work well,' he said in answer to a question. "Often in Germany Hagenbeck sent me to some city where the trainer was i'll, and arrived only 10 minutes before the performance be- gan. Tt is only necessary to know what the animals do and one can generally tell this from the properties" 1t was almost time for the performance to begin and Mir. Schweyer started for his dressing room, pausing for a part l ing word.
 "The best way to handle animals is by kindness No one except myself puts a hand on these animals, not even to pet them. But remember what have tod you. A wild animal. a carnivora, may
 be trained but tamed-never."

There Is a lot of kicking about the pri-

them a nuisance which must be put up with

venting its own displeasure it quotes the

David Lloyd George, who has proved
himself about the biggest man in England
during the stress and trials of the past
year, has substantial reason for the CON
viction expressed in the preface to his
book that his country could not have kept
out Of the war without imperihng its Sc
curity and honor. The British minister of
munitions realizes today that without
Brltain's help France long ago would have
been overrun by the Germans. and the de-
moralization of Russia would have been
even greater than it Is today. 1t would
then have been Great Britains turn. and
what Great Britain, wholly unprepared ex-
cept on the sea, could have done practi-
cally single handed, against the victorious
and highly trained and thoroughly equipped
Ieutonic armies can be imagined. To
many Englishmen it seemed at first mat
ter OF honor. They all realize now that it
was matter of national security.

Free Entertainments Good Advertising

Along with Brattleboro, Rutland
should be given credit for no little en-
terprise in putting mp a carnival which
attracted q great many people to that
city last week. To ba sure, there were
perhaps not so many - free bosses as
there were in Brattleboro a few weeks
ago. but it seems there We're enough
of the free shows to make the visitors
feel themselves repaid for attending
The carnival cost the people of Rut-
land, according to the estimate of the
Rutland News, between $4,000 and ST.
900; but the outlay, in the opinion
of the contemporary, is effective
advertising because it attracts new
population, establishes new fields OF
trade, boosts mercantile and manufac-
turing interests and helps the values
of real estate The opinion III Rut-
land is that it pays to spend the money
which the carnival costs the people OF
that city. Bellows Falls is another
community which is putting on an an
nual show and is well pleased with
the results of its get-together effort
And there are other communities which
are doing something on a smaller scale
to advance the interests of Vermont.
