AMERICANS FIGHT
GERMS IN ITALY
tuberculosis Experts Sent by
Red Cross win Use Lat
est Methods.

Included In the unit of medical and
lay workers which the American Red
Cross has sent to Italy are a number
of the leading anti-tuberculosis work
ers of the country, sponsored by the
National tuberculosis Association.
DR.. William Charles White, who heads
the unit, is medical director of the
tuberculosis League Of Pittsburgh,
and DR.. Robert ii. Bishop, the assist
ant director, is secretary of the Anti
tuberculosis League of Cleveland as
well as health commissioner of that
city. DR.. John II. Lowman of Cleve-
land, a former president of the Ma
tional Association, is another promi-
nent member of the unit. Others are
DIR. Robert q. Patterson, secretary of
the Ohio tuberculosis Association
Seymour II. Stone, until recently sec.
rotary of the Massachusetts Anti-Tu-
berculosis League Or. Gertrude Stur-
gis, secretary of the New York City
Association of tuberculosis Clinics,
and n. A. Nelson, superintendent of the
Cincinnati Anti-Tuberculosis League.
These men and women, at the re-
quest of the Italian government, will
cooperate with that country in apply
ing the latest approved American
methods for combating the spread of
tuberculosis. Some of them will be
charged with the establishment of
clinics where people of all ages may
be examined and treated others will
devote their attention particularly to
preventing tuberculosis among chill
dren. and a third group will develop
health publicity and education.
1t is to the credit of the anti-tuber-
culosis campaign in America that 1t
has produced specialists of such inter-
national standing that Italy wishes to
call them into her service temporarily.
But the campaign will be continued
unremittingly here at home. Its sup
port during the ensuing year win be
derived not as heretofore from the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, but
by a special appropriation made by the
Red Cross to the National Tuberculo-
sis Association. 'berculosis workers
on their side will line up with the Red
Cross in its Christmas Roll Cali for
universal membership.

LABOR DEPARTMENT NOW
PUBLISHES TEXT BOOK
Aliens to Get Instructions In Citi-
zenship, History and Other
Subjects.

The department of labor has just I'M
dertaken It's first venture as a publish
er of text books. A large edition of
these volumes for the use of citizen
ship classes conducted by the bureau
Of naturalization has come off the
press, and several other editions are
likely to be necessary before the de-
mand for the publications is exhaust
ed. With the text book the government
has printed a teachers manual In or
der to assist instructors.
The citizenship classes are now gen.
orally under way. public schools be-
ing utilized for the purpose of Ameri-
canizing the aliens. The process is
very thorough, for beginning with easy
conversational methods of teaching
English, the foreigners are soon in
troduced to the study of reading and
writing.
Once a fair knowledge of English
has been obtained, instruction begins
in more advanced studies, prominent
among which is the history of the
United States. The structure of the
nations government is treated in de-
tail, In order that the candidate for
citizenship may gain as clear an idea
as possible of the nature of the iusti-
tutions among which he has elected
to dwell.
In connection with his study of
academic subjects, the alien Is taught
a great deal that makes his life in
America more pleasant-for example,
how to guard his health and that of
his children; how he can spend his
money most adyantageously for the
household budget; how TO prevent &C
cidents and how to treat injuries or
deal with emergencies.
The text book and manual at no
time lose sight Of the fact that the
average alien comes from q country
whose customs differ widely from
those in common use here, and the
effort is made both to explain the
reasons for American procedure and
TO make the alien thoroughly familiar
with American methods.

where he conducts the ships business
and receives visitors. These quarters
are steam heated against winters cold
and have screens and fans If the ship
is running into southern waters. They
are finished In hard wood.
1t will be seen that the captain of
today therefore is very comfortably
housed. As to his meals, he may exer-
else the privilege of having them
served in his quarters, or he may mess
with the other officers.
The first mate shares the main deck
house with the captain, having a room
directly under the bridge. This is often
IL feet square, with white iron or
brass bed, built-in couch with drawers
under it, and ample clothes lockers
and shelf space. The mate usually
also has a private bath.
The second and third mates and each
of the engineers have a good-sized
stateroom, with a common bathroom
for each rating.
In the main deckhouse Is the dining
saloon or messroom. Here the officers,
from eight to ten In number, have
their meals. On the new ships this is
a bright and cheerful room, finished
In oak or some other hard wood var
nished, having a sideboard and leather
upholstered chairs and lockers.
Engine-room and deck officers share
the mess, and usually there are enough

Little Guessing or Length Of Voyage.
Nor Is the modern officer better OFF
than his p%rogenitor In the matter Of
living alone. He works under better
conditions. Steam has reduced the
length of voyages so that he is no
longer months at sea without a port
to break the monotony.
There is no longer the element of
chance, due to the caprice of wind
and wave to make the duration of his
voyage uncertain. Modern steamers
run almost on railroad schedules, and
the mariner of today can tell within a
day or two when he leaves Liverpool
as to the hour of his release on leave
for a trip to 'see the folks" at New
York Or Boston or Philadelphia.
Furthermore, there is none of the
hard, manwearing work of driving a
ship by the winds alone, and handling
rigging and sails, that existed on the
romantic but unstable sailing ship.
Nowadays so many revolutions of the
screw produce so many miles made
good on the course, while navigation
under these conditions becomes a mat
ter of scientific precision.

Mount Rubber.

Remember Mount Rubber when you
come to Newton" urges the Kansan.
Mount Rubber is a heap of rubber rub
bish OF East Broadway, near Main
street, which, when 1t assumes the de-
sired proportions, will be sold to old
rubber collectors and the proceeds
turned over TO the Red Cross. The
nation needs the rubber, the Red
Cross needs the money and the public
needs its radiance. Anything like an
old auto tire, bicycle tire, rubber boots,
old garden hose, rubber out of your
neck-in fact, anything in the form
of rubber-can be chucked into the
pile and it win be a jolt for the kai-
SER" says the Kansan.
