HOW TUBERCULOSIS SPREADS

Encouraging figures about the fight
against the White plague, were given
at the recent Anti.Tuberculosis asso-
citation meeting at Seattle. The death
rate from this disease has been re-
duced in the past year SO years from
1926 per 100000 to 146. But as 49,
900 people still die early from tuber-
culosis in this country, 1t is still an
ever present dread.
The one great difficulty Is the per-
sistence of the habit of splitting on
the streets. 1t is not a pleasant sub
ject. The newspapers would much
rather write about something cleaner
and more thrilling than this toilsome
crusade against a popular custom.
Formerly almost every one ridicul-
ed the idea OF a campaign against
street expectoration. The citizens
chung to the habit, as II 1t was one
of the choicest of liberties for which
the fathers fought, bled and died. II
city council was asked to pass a
no.spitting ordinance, some local ora
| tor was sure to denounce such a ty-
ranni.al interference with ordinary
habits. Most of the leading citizens
did It, and people who denounced the
practice were called fussy old aun'
ties.
But when science made 1t cleai
that the frightful economic waste
the sorrow and tragedy OF this
scourge, are largely conveyed from
system to system by the habit o.
splitting in the streets, city govern
ments, railroads, and other forces
began to move.
A man may say that he is in per
feet health, and that he can not con

PETTY BUSINESS
DISHONESTY

A friend, speak ng the other day Of
his visit to a certain city, remarked
incidentally that he spent an evening
on trip to a noted amusement park.
He was led to take the trip, which
was one of some distance, by hear.
ing that a certain famous band was
playing there. He asked an agent "
the park company at the city terml.
nal, II the band played concert that
evening. The agent said yes. Ar
rived at the park, he found the band
never played evenings. The agent
had simply believed 1t good policy to
lie to save one fare.
1t is significant that the traveller
on looking up the advertisements OF
the park, found that they merely ad-
vertised day time concerts. This
shows incidentally how much more
truthful advertising is than the word
of individual employees. If an en-
ploye fibs, 1t is easy to explain 1t on
the ground that he did not under
stand. A false advertisement can not
thus be explained away.
It is a satisfaction to observe that
the Associated Advertising Clubs in
Their convention at Chicago, have
again given great prominence to the
idea of the necessity of truthful ad-
vertising. II there is a yellow streak
of misrepresentation running thru
day by day business, It Is much less
present in advertising.
There Is an old saw from the play
ground, "Cheatee, cheatee, never
beatee." Every business firm should
realize what a miserable policy 1t Is
for employees to falsify. That man
who was disappointed on his band
concert probably has told a dozer
people how he was fooled. The incl
dent was a slight one, yet people who
heard 1t would reach the conclusion
that the resort was fake that dit
not live up to its agreements.
1t is not enough for corporation
and business men to condemn dis
honest statements on the part of thei
employees when they learn OF them
They should also warn them In ad
vance OF the irritation and hostilit
that such methods cause In the pull
lie mind.

THE EVOLUTION OF
JULY FOURTH

The celebration of July Fourth, the
nations birthday, has had a check
cred history, illustrating the temper
aments of different eras.
Copies of old newspapers handed
down fifty TO seventy.five years show
a very different kind of observance
from what one sees today. Speeches
and professions were the feature.
The older people were content to sit
in rows all OF hot afternoon and
listen to addresses an hour and
half long on patriotic subjects.
The small boys were much under
subsection In those days. They turn
ed out in full number to the July
Fourth doings. This was partly due
to family discipline. But the album
dant supplies of ice cream and gin
gerbread had no doubt something to
do with 1t.
Il was a day OF spread eagleism
Our orators were sure that our gov
eminent In fifty years of existence
had accompl shed greater triumphs OF
civic virtue and enlightenment than
had all the rest of the world since
the dawn of history.
When these formal July Fourth
speechifyings went out of fashion, the
Small Boy became master OF ceremon
les. His patriotism was greatly IN
spired by the thought that aged sicR
and nervous persons dreaded his
noise. When the discharge OF psf
OILS, caps and fire crackers failed u
express his feelings, he added there
20 the removal OF gates, burning O
fences, wagons, and other more o
less valuable property, thereby den
onstrating the feryent quality OF n
love for country.
During recent years, there has bee
a revival OF effort to make the NJ
tional holiday a more worthy obser'
ance NJ n great event. Historical pi
geantry is resorted to In many pla
es TO teach object lessons OF patrlo
ism. Muse, fireworks and athletic
are useful means by which the e'
ergies OF young America can be q
verified from more harmful acts. ~
the day has gone by when the pc
pie will listen quietly to long speec
es.
