Alabama Tuberculosis AssO- citation Concludes Busi- ness SessiOn-WOrk In
 State Association

At the business session of the Anti-Tu- bercuosis League yesterday, the recom- mendation of the board of directors that the name be changed to the Alabama Tu- berculosis Association was adopted.
 The change was made because it is under this name that the other societies in the country are known, and the diff ference in Alabama caused a great deal Of confusion.
 The feature of the afternoon session or the convention was talk by pr. 5. w.. W elch, state health officer on the prac- tical cooperation between the state county and city health departments and the voluntary tuberculosis organiza- tICns.
 pr. Welch showed by telling the function of each of these organizations how they supplemented each other, and that they should work together for the best results In his opinion, the work of the Tuberculosis Association was that which could not be done if the assoeia- tion would cease to exist He paid a fine tribute to the workers under the di- rection of the association who had done so much to prevent the spread or ,u' berculoss in the state.
 short review of the work that mas been accomplished by the Tuberculosis Association in Alabama since it's begin ming about fifteen years ago was gwen by Dr. George Eaves. Dr. Eaves was one of the pioneers in the anti-tupef- culosis movement in Alabama, and has been active in the fight ever since the organization.
 Miss Bertha Clements, R. N gave a talk on the work of the tuherculosis field nurse which was followed By gen eral discussion by the delegates. Miss Clements has been nurse in Alabama for some time and is thoroughly ac- ouainted with tuberculosis conditions here.
 Charles NJ. DeForest, national crusader executive gave a short talk on The Modern Crusade--Its Mission At the close of his talk. he offered to answer all questions which were asked him about work in the prevention and treat ment of tuberculosis.
 The meeting closed with some practi- cal suggestions by the members and delegates which might be of service i1 the work of the Tuberculosis Associa- tion in the state.
