PHYSICAL INVENTORY IS
URGED FOR ONCE A YEAR
National Tuberculosis Association
Gives Startling Facts
in Bulletin.

In a plea for every man and woman
in the United States of adult age to
join in a movement for annual or other
periodic medical examination of them
selves, which will be launched Deem
Der 8, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
presents figures in bulletin issued to-
day which show that practically 100
per cent of the supposedly well people
of the United States over thirty years
of age have some physical defect or
impairment. About 70 per cent of these
impairments are to some extent of a
serious nature. There were besides
about 30 per cent of defects of a minor
character.
The figures which the national asso-
citation presents are based upon the
Life Extension Institute among two
highly specialized groups Of people, the
first group consisting of workers in
the Ford Motor Company of Detroit,
and the second group consisting of en-
ployes of commercial houses, banks
and trust companies in New York.
None Is Strictly Normal.
Inc RECORDS OIL THESE
show that practically none of those
examined, men and women, is normal
in the strict sense of the word. An
other striking fact in the examination
is that only 10 per cent Of those who
were impaired were aware that there
was anything the matter with them.
This fact alone, the National Tuber-
culos4s Association points out, is suff1-
Client to make every man and woman In
the United States give careful consId-
GRAFTON to the necessity for at least
one physical inventory of his entire
body d year
The largest group of more or less Sc
rious impairments discovered were
those showing sugar, aibumen or casts
IN the urine. More than 40 per cent Of
the aforementioned groups showed de-
fects of this nature. In the same
groups about % per cent showed alb
normal blood pressure, while nearly II
per cent showed combined disturbances
Of circulation and kidneys.
Many Diseases Escape Notice.
Organic heart disease, thickened ar
teries, lung trouble leading to possible
tuberculosis, nervous affections, diges-
tive troubles and venereal disease
were among the other impairments dis
covered, practically all of which had
escaped the notice of the individuals
examined.
During tuberculosis week, which will
be celebrated throughout the United
states from December to Decem DER
u, national medical examination day
Will be observed on december 3. Groups
and individuals will be urged to make
Arrangements for physical examination
on that day. A circular describing in
detail now the advantages OF medical
examination day may be obtained, and
indicating certain physical inn pair
ments which every one should look for.

The utter inability OF anti-aircraft

similar inability on the part of avia-

accident, were emphasized by Edward

Visit to forbidden City,"

Visits to a camp in England for Ger
man prisoners and to the so-called
forbidden city" on the English chan
mel, where night after night the Brit
ish wounded are brought from Flanders
for distribution throughout the coun-
try's hospitals. were also graphically
described by Mr.. Clark.
Mrs. Clark accompanied her husband
on this trip abroad last March and,
previous to his appearance on the plat
form, read a paper containing her i'm
pressions of the ground traverssd from
woman's standpoint. That American
women living in England are still a
great factor in the relief work of that
nation and that their activities are far
wider in scope than is commonly sup
posed here was the opinion given by
Mrs. Clark.
There is a mountain of work" to be
done by the women of Paris, said the
speaker, and despite that, they are
reaching out for more. She gave tesu-
mony of the highest sort to the spirit
of the women both of the French cap
ital and the country a whole, and
declared that the work in which nearly
every one is engaged in one form or
another is a good thing not only for
the destitute and wounded. but for the
women themselves.
Hopes to Ring Rheims Bells
Mrs. Clark told of meeting, in the
Hospital of ST. Sulpice, the widow of
the bellringer of Rheims Cathedral.
For fiftytwo years he had rung the
bells and she had had charge of the
pews.
Il hear the bells are still uniniured,'
she told Mrs. Clark, and when the war

Part of Federal Family.u

Mr.. seibold insisted that the govern
ment Of the District was part of the
federal family and should be SUM-
ported out of the federal Treasury lust
as any other branch OF the United States
government Is supported He declared
that taxation in the United States by
the federal government must be un form.
II Congress was given the right to tax
the people Of the District without limit.
he said, II can tax the shirts off our
backs" He said that the people Of the
United States at the time the Constitu-
ton was adopted would never have con-
sented that Congress should have any
such power over the residents OF the
federal District.
Congress. early in the history of the
District, said Mr.. Se!bold, viola ted the
provisions of the Constitution when IL
permitted the municipalities OF Alex
andria and Georgetown to continue and
TO legislate for themselves. Congress
had no right. he said, to delegate the
power OF legislation to these municipal
tiles.
THAT was the first congressional gold
brick game played by Congress w tn
the District" he said 1.-The government
got the gold and the people of the Dis
trict the brick"
He said that at that time Congress
! dared not tax the people of the Disrr CT
to pay for the improvement of the Ma
tional Capital and at the same time 1t
ital. He contended that Congress should
never have permitted foot of ground in
the District TO get into the hands of land
spectators, but that 1t should have sold
land only to home builders and only in
quantities sufficient for home building.

To find out, and TO get a clear and

First. What financial obligation has
the Constitution of the United States
put upon the federal government for
the support of a federal district Sc

Second. What has induced the in

the most valuable right of America n
citizens. the right to govern them
selves. to become the willing sub

pany. ~. ..@......> -" H.. ~
"The only point Of interest in the
matter is whether this advertising is
to be put in the class of live advertis-
ing or of a donation. Much so-called
advertising, it is contended, in pro-
grams that go the rounds for Homo
lulu events is nothing more or less
than a straight donation. And it was
to do away with such donations that
the Carnival company was financed.
'If the buyers regard it as good adj
vertising, an advertising club could
have no objection" said harrington.
"But if it is merely another method
of getting donations it ought not to
have the approval of business men
who believe in live advertising. The
Carnival company has enough money
to keep It going without resOrting to
form of donation, labeled advertis-
ing, which a steadily increasing num-
Der of business men are putting in its
