TUBERCULOSIS MOST
PREVALENT IN GREECE

ATHENS, Oct. 20.-(A. P.)-Tuber-
culosis is more prevalent in Greece
than in any other European country
for which reliable figures are avail
able. with the possible exception of
Serbia. There is no governmentaly or
private program for the control of the
disease. The number of physicians In
proportion to the population, which
is about twice as high as the rate In
the United States. The other forms
of the disease also are present, maxi
ing the total tuberculosis death-rate
s65 per 100O0 of population. One
death in every six is due to tubercul-
oss.
To deal with the disease the exist
ing agencies are very inadequate.
There is little or no hospital provision
for the care of the bulk of the popu-
lation of 100000 There are less
than score of general hospitals In
the country
There is also an alarming prevail
ence of typhoid fever, which at times
rises to the proportion of an epidemic.
Even in the larger cities as Athens
the typoid death-rate Is strikingiy
high. In the last three-year period
for which statistics are available the
rate was So per 100000 of population,
about five times as high as the rate
in the United States.
The prevalence Of this diseases is
due largely to the absence of sewers
and of adequate and safe water sup
ply. No improvements In the water
supply OF sewerage systems have been
made since 1908. The rudimentary
sewage system. where any exists af-
fords little or no protection against
surface or underground contamination
of water supply. and no safe guard
against conveyance Of infection.
In Athens plans have been drawn
by the national government to provide
the city with adequate and modern
water and sewerage systems But the
execution of these plans has been de-
layed BY the war. The water supply
in Athens is at present brought in thru
an acqueduct built by the Emperor
Hadrian nearly 1000 years ago. In !
the summer months the water is in
sufficient to carry off the sewage.

AT THE REpUBLIC TONIGHT

Many screen actors who are FOND
of doing stunts can stop runaway
horse by running along with the
horse and leaping to the animal S
5ack-a matter comparatively simple
for an expert horseman. But Tom
Mix. whom William Fox will present
in "The Feud" tonight at the Repub-
lie Theatre, is the first with sufficient
courage to bow to the demands of the
scenario, leap to the back of the
horse, and then permit the horse to
throw him off while the animal is gal
Looping at full speed.
This stunt is called for by an cpl
sode in the action in which Mix saves
the life of enemy feudists by stopping
the runaway horse, but is thrown from
the animal and redered unconscious.
This paves the way for the others to
discover a locket around his neck
in which he carries the portrait of the
daughter of the enemy
When Mix first read the story he
liked the idea of stopping the run
away. but baked at letting the horst
throw him off lest his admirers think
he had failed in a stunt. But 1t was
pointed out that all would recognize
that the fall was necessary for the
sake of the story. So Mix agreed,
thus making this scene in his newest
feature more dramatic.
Eva Novak plays the girl whose pic
ture is found in the locket. Others in
the strong supporting cast including
Claire Mcdowell. ]. Arthur Mackley,
John Cossar. Mollie Mcconnell, Lloyd

Continental u. S. Has
1O5,638,108 People

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8-The total
population of the continental United
States is los, 63S,10S an Increase of
13,7IO,842, or 40 Per cent.
This figure does not include approx
imately 12,500,O0O people living in
the country's outlaying possessions.
The population of Alaska and the to-
tai classed under the military and
naval service abroad are yet to be an
nounced.
The relative growth of the nation
from 1900 to 1910 was q per cent
but this rate was cut this year, chief
ly, census bureau officials say
through stoppage of immigration dur
ing the war and by the heavy emigra-
ton during that period.
One Of the striking developments
of this years census was the rela-
tive growth of cities and industrial
centers as compared with the farm
ing regions. Rural growth in the last
ten years was only one-third as great
as it was in the previous decade
while the cities nearly maintained
their 1900-1910 rate of growth.
