not emily as a deadly scourge to be

est economic enemies, declared Wal
ter S. Ufford. OF Washington. who
addressed the closing session OF the

berculosis Association here today.
sickness" he said. lis the great
est single factor in bringing about
poverty and dependency. Among the
various ills found in dependent fami-
lies none plays so big a part as tu-
berculosis.
SThe public must be aroused to
grapple with the problem Of tuber-
cuIosis as it now affects our civil
ian population. on broad lines OF
health reconstruction.
Should Have Funds To Work WITH.
"Fcr this purpose departments Of
health everywhere should be charged
with the control OF tuberculosis as
q contagious disease. These depart
ments should not only be given legal
authority to cope with the problem.
but should be provided also with the
necessary funds to deal with the dis
ease, in. its contagious stages. as q
menace TO the family and the neigh
borhood."
In a plea for health insurance John
A. Lapp, former director of the Ohio
health insurance commission, pointed
out that there can be no solution OF
the tuberculosis problem among
working men without IL.
Men cannot stop work long enough
to take treatment" he said. because,
as is well known. the great mass OF
working men are living only q few
days or a few weeks away from actual
want Some means must be devised to
enable people to stop work and to re-
ceive adequate medical treatment
There are only two possible ways to
do it-one, through charity; the other,
through health insurance"

experts revealed many cases not
found by the routine examinations OF
local physicians and visiting nurses.
The public attitude toward tubercu-
losis must be changed. said Miss Mary
A. Meyers, OF Indianapolis, who talked
on educational campaigns. She point
ed out that formerly the masses OF
people thought the disease was hered-
itary and that nothing could be done
about it.

NATIONAL.

One short peep through the peri
scope Of perspicacity at "a Young
Mans Fancy" the third Of the George
c. Tyler Company presentations at
the National this week, is sufficient
to warrant the prediction that it will
be thoroughly enjoyed here and else
where. Indeed, the three-act fantas-
tic comedy with twelve scenes, by
John 7. Mcintyre. stamps that worthy
as one OF our coming playwrights. II
he has not already arrived"
"A Young Mans Fancy might al
most be called a satire because. de-
spite its slender plot, 1t quite takes
off-if you will permit the slight play
on wofds-many of our cherished ira
dtttons, some Of our customs, some Of
our idiosyneracies and not a few Of
our ideals. And all so cleverly worked
out and so feelingly delineated by Al
fred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne and the
exceptionally brilliant cast assembled
by George c. Tyler.
A bedroom scene is almost newt
able these days. For awhile we wero
almost fearful that we would be de-
