County Anti-Tuberculosis Soci-
ETY. Asks Help for Families
in Distress

The Escambia County Anti -Tuber-
culosis Society asks that 100 people
subscribe two dollars a month to a
fund to be used in supplying the
wants of victims of tuberculosis. The
society will furnish a house for the
victims and asks the people of the
county to come to the rescue with
funds to provide for those who are
in distress.
I In speaking before the Professional
and Business Women's Club a few
days ago, state and federal health
officials asserted that the danger from
is far greater than from
bubonic plague. ...
The anti-tuberculosis society has
made arrangements with the banks of
the city to receive contributions to
the fund which it asks and contribu-
.tions can be paid at any bank.
Miss Morier, the Red Cross nurse,
has discovered two especially dis
tressing cases while making her
rounds, where the sickness is compli
Gated by lack of funds and informa-
ton for fighting the disease, and in
each case the patients themselves are
not only suffering greatly but they
are also communicating the disease
to their families and possibly others
in their neighborhood.
In one case the family has lived
in four different houses since the
patient has reached the more ad-
yanced stages of the disease, and it
is probable that none of these places
were fumigated before the next fam
lily moved in.
A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Escambia County Tu-
berculosis Association was held yes
terdav afternoon for the purpose of
discussing tn possibility of a sani-
tarium for the county In the near fu-
ture. to care for such cases, and il
was decided that even if this dream
can he made to materialize some pro-
vision should be made Immediately
for such cases as those mentioned
above.
Mr. Perkins told the committee that
he and Miss Morier had already made
every effort to get something along
tbis line started, and that they knew
of a small house where they could
care for at least four people which
the owners were willing to rent for
this purpose at the rate of SIS per
month. and which is in very favor
able location. He also said that the
Red Cross would guarantee this
amount for the rent until such time
as the sanitarium might be finished
if funds to care for the patients could
he raised through other channels.
IT was calculated that for sum
of 5000 a month four or five patients
could be comfortably taken care Of
and six of the committee immedI-
ately offered 10 subscribe 81 each per
month for this temporary relief fund,
which. it is hoped, will not be needed
for more than a year at the out
side. -
1t is hoped that there will be little
difficulty in getting subscriptions for
the rest of this amount, for, to quote

Nation Which Controls Worlds
Crude Oil Output Will Be
Supreme At Sea
BRITISH ARE ACTIVE
Government Has Stepped In To
Prevent Monopoly From
Gaining Upper Hand
BY MILTON BRoNNER.

London, July THE nation that
controls the fuel oil of the world Will
also control the mercantile shipping
and the offensive and defensive
navies of the word
England and France know this and
are not asleep even if the United
States government is. One can't
imagine the legal department of either
Great Britain or France allowing oil
lands to slip out of control of the
government.
In former times nations competed
with each other to get gold Today
they compete for fuel oil. 1t is more
valuable than gold. You may have
most of the gold "of the world and
yet not be able to do better than
have ships of commerce and war in
which coal is the fuel.
And ships in which oil is the fuel
can beat the coal ships all hollow.
Not long ago the British govern
ment became alarmed about the prices
that were being charged for gaso-
line here. Accordingly a governmental
committee investigated the matter
motor fuel is rapidly becoming of vital
importance to practically every in
dustry, not excluding agriculture, in
civilized countries. Then il said:
"The concentration of control, over
the price and disposition of motor
fuel, in the hands of two enormously
powerful capitalistic combines, prac-
tically world wide in their scope. con-
or dan =.
happens to be Improperly used, that
it is imperative that the governments
of the world should give some atten-
tion to it"
A member of the United States
shipping board in Washington once
showed me a map displaying all the
places in the world where ships touch
for commerce and, more important,
for coal. The bulk of these coaling sta
tions were under British ownership
or control.
That" he said. "is why Britain is
supreme in the worlds, commerce"
But now oil is coming in as the ship
great Cunnard line has Just finished
the second of 20 great new ocean lin
ers which are to be oil burners Ana
both at Glasgow and Liverpool l re-
Gently saw other liners being con-
verted into oil burners The same is
true of the newer ships of war.
And do you know what these wide
awake British are doing They have
just formed a company which de-
signs to have oil fuel stations all over
the world where ships touch.
More than that: while America is
allowing private concerns to exploit
her oil resources and ship the ma
terial all over the world, thus in some
instances depriving the navy Of its
reserves, wi de awake Britain is
the world for new oil fields
that it can bring under the British
flag.

done so and have seen the car every

About ten days later Chief Ellis dis
