ASKS FOR FEDERAL AID
IN TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT
National Association Proposes Spe.
cial Division of the u. S. Pub
lie Health Service.

Participation of the federal govern
ment, through the United States pub
lie health service. in the study and con-
troll of tuberculosis is urged Dy a reso-
luton adopted by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis made public today.
The national association proposes
that by act of Congress Il special diyi-
sion of tuberculosis be established in
the United States public health sery-
ice with an adequate appropriation.
This division should be manned by ex-
pertS and should study the tuberculosis
problem from every point of view. and
should. so far as possible, set up stand
ards for the treatment and prevention
of the disease throughout the country.
one OF the problems which il is pro-
posed to study first would he that of
the INDECENT migratory consumpti.e.
particularly in the health resorts of
various parts Of the United States. such
as California. New Mexico, Colorado
and Texas. Another problem which il
is proposed should be studied is that

A bill introduced by REPRESENTATIVE
I
Kent of California in the House and
by Senator Norris OF Nebraska in the
Senate provides for some of the things
which the national association asks
for and also for a federal subsidy TO

SumptiNeS.
Commenting on the resolution. d.
Charles j. Hatfield. executive secretary
of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF Tuperculosis
says: in spite Of the fact that tuDe~-
culoss is costing the United States
from $500. 100000 to $1,000. 900 600 every
year in lives lost. the amount of money
being spent annually by all private and
public agencies is not much more than
$1,000, 900; and while nationwide
crusade to. stamp out tuberculosis has
been organized, we are still ignorant of
many of the factors that produce it. A
few thousand dollars wisely spent in
scientific research under federal super
vision will secure results of incalcula-
BILE benefit to this country"

posed Birthplace of Hercules.

Correspondence of tie Associated Press
ATHENS. January 20.-Some of the
most important archaeological discov-
cries of the past generation have Just
been made around the ancient city of
Tiryns, WHICH, according to one legend
was the birthplace of Hercules. The
walls of the city are ascribed to the
Cyclops, and earlier excavations there
have unearthed some remarkable ex-
amples of Cyclopean architecture.
A number of workmen, digging at the
Greek agricultural school some fifty
yards beyond the walls of the ancient
city, recently came upon some copper
fragments evidently of very early date
The work was promptly stopped and a
guard placed over the spot until Prof.
Arvanitopoulos could be called from
Athens to direct the excavation
On the arrival of the eminent Greek
archeologist the work was conducted
with the utmost care. The first discov-
cry was perfectly preserved cauldron,
near which was copper tripod in eX-
cellent state of conservation, bearing
bas reliefs of animals and birds-a
rare piece. In rapid order followed a
huge copper plaque, three copper han
dies, three great swardS, two copper
brooches and some fragments of My
cenian pottery.
