INHERITED IT. b. IMMUNITY
Erie (Pa.) Dispatch.


DR. Antonio Stella, a New York
tuberculosis expert who represented
the United States at the last Interna-
tional tuberculosis congress at
Rome. says that not only is con-
sumption not inherited. but the chill
dren of cOnsumptives seem actually
10 inherit a strong tendency TO i'm
munity against consumption. This
theory was first advanced ten years
ago. and had been confirmed, DR..
Stella says, by the observation of
such great specialists as Sanarell
and Maffucci in Italy, LandOuzy in
France. and Metchnikoff in Russia
IL is OF course a matter of COM
mon observation that the children OF
tubercular victims often succumb 70
the disease. The old idea was that
this plague was actually transmitted
by inheritance from parent 10 child.
That wse followed by the belief that
the child merely inherits physical
characteristics which make il un-
usually susceptible. The net result
OF these two theories was about the
same-the child Of tubercular par
ents was likely 10 develop tubercu-
losis.
But according 10 the new theory.
the child simply catches the disease
because ne lives in house infected
with tuberculosis germs And he
catches IL not because Of the physi-
cue that his parents have bestowed
on him. bat in spite OF il. Nature
has given him more than a fair
chance. and he succumbs merely be-
cause his parents ignorantly force
the disease on him.

fists believe that there is in such
cases progressive immunization"
from generation to generation.
Thus with a fair chance, the chill
dren Of parents having such a dis
ease are safe. And with a fair
chance successive generations of hu-
man beings become less and less
liable TO tuberculosis, as they do TO
other contagious and infectious all
ments. This theory seems support

PAY RAISE INDORSED
BY REV. S. H. GREENE

Rev. Samuel H. Greene, pastor of Cal
vary Baptist Church, unreservedly in
dorses the movement for higher salaries
for government clerks
"Anybody who knows conditions under
which government employees receiving
less than $1,000 a year live, must indorse
the movement to give them higher sal
aries" he said
"A contented employe is a more effi-
Cicnt employe. An employe who must
continually consider ways and means to
make both ends meet and then gets only
a partial solution Of the problem can't
give his best effort to the government.
Il do not favor any wholesale increase
in government payrOlls, but I do favor
an increase that will give a little extra
to those who need it most. 1t will make
them more useful to the government.
Happier and contented employees in any
line Of work are more efficient"
This is a humanitarian movement and
Congress will look at it from that per-
sPoctve. The practical solution is high
cr wages"

HERALD ACKNOWLEDGED
CHAMPION OF WORKERS
Interior Department Branch. Federal
Employees Union. Adopts Resolution.

The Interior Department Branch Of the
Federal Employees Union adopted a reso-
luton last night at a meeting in Pythisn
Temple. acknowledging the faithful
work of The Washington Herald in our
behalf' for increased salaries.
The resolution, which stressed the
great service of The Washington Herald
In the cause Of the Federal Employees
Union and Of all government employees"
was presented by Miss. Florence Ethe-
ridge and was adopted unanimously.
An address was delivered by Repre-
sentative James A. Hamill, of New Jer-
sey, on Retirement" He favored a COM
plete pension system for all government
employees.
If the government employees are en-
titled to anything. they are entitled to
all from the government" he said.
"A straight pension system is the most
desirable from the standpoint of the gov
ernment and the employe."
A resolution was adopted indorsing the
action Of the unions board Of repro
sentatives In naming H. NJ McLarin.
president Of the union, as legislative rep
resentative in the interests Of Federal
employees at a salary Of 5000 a year.
Another resolution adopted directed that
the unions magazine should be conserva-
tive IN dealing with the interests for the
government service.
A constitution was adopted and officers
were nominated

drawn up that will give the members
of the District police force a substantial
increase in salary.
This bill is now being considered by
subcommittee of the policemen and
will be presented to Congress with
in q few days. 1t provides for q
graded increase. the largest amount
being for policemen.
Call to Thank Herald.
Delegations from various branches
of the Federal Employees Union visit
ed the Herald office last night to ex-
press their thanks for the support
which the Herald has given to the
movement for higher wages.
There is no doubt that We would
have gone along living in hopes and
getting nothing but promises unless
our case was brought forcibly to the
attention of Congress" said the spokes-
man for a delegation from the Govern
ment Printing ONCE.
I'VE thought Congress would do
more, but as long as those who need
lit most are on the track to get it.
we may all feel hopeful for higher
salaries.
The Herald has taken up the fight
let them continue 1t. The little man
who has a voice like a big newspaper
to speak for him becomes a big man.
Fight it out to the end. Congress
has begun something. Let them finish
| it as it should be finished"

Wife SAYS JOB MAKES
POSTAL CLERK CROSS
Writes to Herald Telling of Struggle Of
Husband to Keep Up Efficiency

That the work OF the average postal
clerk is such that his disposition becomes
irritable and cross is the statement Of
the wife Of one Of the local postof3ce
employees as expressed in the following
letter:
Editor The Washington Herald: Your
editorial appearing in Sundays Herald
relative to the postal clerks was good.
The public seem to think that IL a man
Is working for the government he has a
sinecure. But should they go to the
homes of these postal clerks and ask
their wives and children how well they
liked their husband and 'daddie's' job.
they would learn a few things.
THE incessant worry over scheme and
scheme changes, the confinement of the
work, the eye strain, the study of postal
rates, and the tension and rapidity at
which man has to work undoubtedly
works on his nerves to such an extent
that when he returns to his home he is
irritable and cross and has but little
time to give to his wife and kiddies. He
must study with his cards and practice
and his wife and children see him shut
himself UP in a room and remain there
with his work until bedtime.
THE average postal clerk has but lit
tie time OF his own for any purpose, for
he must be ready for two examinations
year on his work, and as the schemes
are constantly changing, he is forever
studying. and his wife and children grow
away from him and hardly dare speak
to him for fear he will bite their heads
of. Do they need an increase? Far
more than those who oppose It.

Representatives Will Argue Before Con-

Members Of the Washington fire depart

nounced he had obtained permission from
Commissioner Brownlow to call on the
different members of the two committees
TO interest them in the proposal.
For some time the F'iremen't Associa-
ton has been compiling statistics gather
ed IN more than 100 cities supporting paid
IRE departments. The Washington de-

Secretary Smith, under whose supervi-
sion these figures have been compiled,
says II IS the intention of the committee
to present this data with a hope of con-

their request is just and fair.
