TUBERCULOSIS UNITS
$4,000 DRAFTED MEN
$50, ,OOO, 600 Red Cross Seals to Be
Sold Just Before Christmas
to Fight Disease.

When the United States asked the
young men Of the country to rally to
the national standard during the war.
the draft was found to be one of the
best medical detectives that could be
health among the young men Of the
country was quickly and surely ascer-
tanned.
Altogether, out Of the nearly 3.ooo.-
900 men who were picked by the
draft, 5000 were found to be tuber-
culous. These men. enough to make
up more than two divisions of SOL
diers, had to be rejected. They were
unfit to take up arms for their coun-
try and, in fact, were a danger to
their comrades.
tuberculosis is one of the gravest
problems America has to solve today.
its death toll is enormous. Its sick
least 10000 die of tuberculosis in the
United States. For every death there
are eight open tuberculous cases re-
ported. That means over 100000 per-
sons have the disease.
tuberculosis can be prevented and
II can be cured. That is the burden Of
the great educational campaign now

HIGHER SUGAR PRICES
IN JANUARY PREDICTED

Failure Of the President to author
ize purchase of the Cuban sugar crop
for 1920 makes it practically certain
that sugar prices will increase after
next January 1. a Senate subcommit-
tee was told today by George A.
Zabriskie, president OF the sugar
equalization board, and Judge w. A.
Glasgow, counsel for the food admin
istration.
The committee completed its hear
ing and expected to consider later to-
day legislation that may be proposed
in order to meet what Chairman Nc
Nary styled a desperate situation"
Whether anything more can be done
to correct the situation more than a
continuance Of the board, which au-
tomatically ceases to function after
the close of the year, was regarded
as questionable.
The improbability of acquiring the
1920 crop was pointed out by Mr..
Zabriskie, although only little more
than a quarter of it has been con-
tracted.
The prospect now is. he said. that
sharp increases in prices may be ex-
pected in January. February and
March, but until that time he antfci-
pates no radical change.

| IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Exceeds by 800 Highest
Number Attending at Any
Time Last Year.

Although the public schools have
been open only two weeks. the en-
rollment already is 56.427. or 800 more
than the highest number that attend
ed the schools at any time last year.
The heaviest enrolment during the
last school year was in April and
only reached 56.100.
Ernest L: Thurston, superintendent
Of schools, IS studying carefully the
conditions in all the school buildings
to see thai congestion does not be-
come too acute.
Increase Evenly Distributed.
Mr.. Thurston pointed out today that
one thing which has helped to prevent
overcrowding in spite Of the heavy en-
rollment this year is the fact That the
increase in pupils has been evenly dis
tributed throughout the%city and In all
branches of study.
There are 1000 more children in the
schools today than there were on this
date last year. In the high schools
the increase already is 1,400 over last
year.
Mr. Thurston said he could not say
at this time whether 1t will be neces-
sary to ask for an emergency appro-
priation for more portable buildings.
In view of the fact that enrolment
Of pupils usually continues throughout
October and into November. 1t is re-
garded as possible by school officials
that additional temporary structures
may be needed later on.
