DOUBLE BARRED CROSS
ADOPTED II YEARS AGO

The double barred Red Cross is
seventeen years old this month. In
October, 1902, the International Anti
tuberculosis Association, then meeting
in Berlin, adopted the cross as the
emblem Of the worldwide fight against
tuberculosis. II was proposed by DIR.
G.. Sersiron. of Paris. 1t is a com
bination of the Croix de Lorraine and
the cross of the Greek Catholic
church. Both crosses are symbolic Of
charity and help 10 humanity. Their
combined features were selected and
adopted as the symbol OF the hope OF
civilization. -Four years later, in @
the double barred Red Cross was car
ried into this country. 1t was in 1906
the National tuberculosis Association
was formed, and FOR the thfee inter
vening years the cross has peer car
ried owe the United States by the
National tuberculosis Association and
its affiliated bodies, which now NUN

scores of his pictures and whose at
tractive faces and -orms have won
gasps of admiration from blase pic

object in doing this was two-fold.
First, he wished to grant the thou
