plane. Boats traversing the same dis
lance as that purposed for the new air

$SI ,576. 900 IS LOST
BY TUBERCULOSIS
That Was Economic Effect in
1918, Says DR.. Biggs.

New Yorks economic loss in 1918
from tuberculosis was approximately
$S1.57 900, according to statement
made last night by DR.. Herman NJ.
Biggs, State Commissioner Of Health.
Considering the fact that the city budget
last year was S2SS.123,759 the loss from
tuberculosis in that year was more than
one-third of the cost OF running the en-
tire city government.
There were 10,197 deaths from tuber-
culosis in Its various forms last year,
said DR.. Biggs, who has Just been made
chairman of the executive committee of
the Greater New York Red Cross Christ
night In New York against tuberculosis.
According to DR.. Blggs the c.tys eco
nomic loss is greater from tn rculosis
than from any other form OF disease, be-
cause of its prevalence among workers
between the ages Of is and so. Most
Of the victims die at the average age of
35 years, losing seventeen years which
would be ordinarily employed in produc-
tive work.
Dr. Biggs said the death rate from
pulmonary tuberculosis has been re-
duced from 236 per 100.0 in 1898 to
$50 per 100000. which Is the figure for
last year. This should encourage the
city. he believes, TO end this economic
waste. Many agencies, one Of the chief
of which is the Red Cross Christmas seal
campaign, viii be asked this year, he
said, TO cooperate in a movement to
lessen this drain on New York's re-
sources, since the disease Is both pre-
ventable and durable.

For the first time in three years the

The others finished their work and re-
ported back TO the prison three-quarters
of an hour later. The keeper who
checked up found Marshall unaccounted
for and none of the men would admit
they knew anything about his disappear
ance.
At the blowing of the siren relief
guards turned out and thorough search
OF the prison grounds was made No
trace was found OF the missing man,
and parties went out into the country
side and in automobiles covered the
roads in both directions from the prison.
Marshall had vanished without leaving
a trail of any kind and two hours later
the prison authorities admitted the es-
cape and asked the police here to look
out for the fugitive.
