Annual Xmas
Seal Campaign

Lansing, Oct October third
marked the formal opening Of the
Christmas seal for 1921 in Michigan.
The Michigan tuberculosis associa-
ton has been at work for some time
getting ready for the campaign, but
the first week in October, sees the
opening Of a special office in Lansing
and the beginning Of organizing for
the sale.
The sale proper, so far as the peo-
pie of Michigan are concerned, will
begin the day after Thanksgiving and
will continue until Christmas, but for
nearly two months before the active
selling Of the Christmas stickers be-
gins the work Of getting ready for
the big push will be in progress.
The seal sale will not be allowed to
interfere with the normal work Of the
Michigan tuberculosis association
For that reason the campaign will be
conducted from special headquarters.
All the usual lines Of work of the as
ISOLATION will go on as before, and
the fight against tuberculosis will be
as vigorously pushed during the in
tensive sale Of Christmas seals as at
other times Of the year. This policy
has been followed in Michigan the
past few years.
The seal sale for 1920, which was
the largest ever held in Michigan up
to that time, was 1888 seals per cap
tia, which means that every man, wo-
man, and child in the state invested
little less than three and half
cents in the campaign against tuber-
culosis. The Michigan association is
year by year climbing to a higher
goal, and it hopes to increase this
per capita amount materially during
the present seal sale.
With the death rate from tubercu.
losis association points to the coming
seal sale as an uneXampled oppor
tunity on the part Of the people OF
Michigan to do a piece of constructiv,
health work by backing the sale anC
giving the health forces a chance t.
reduce the death rate still further
during 1922. The association has pre-
pared constructive program Of worl
for that year, the success of which
will depend on the coming sale.

four" understanding to this effect
has been reached with the other
powers according to a White House
announcement.
Only the big four delegations from
each of the five allied and associated
powers will sit in the general CON
ference on armament limitation. The

After the announcement Of the
four American delegates it was said
the next step would be the selection
Of advisory bodies. This personnel
at least so far as the United States
is concerned probably will be limited
to u or 10 including a staff Of army

personnel also will include one or
more women.
The American advisory bodies
would include representatives of
American womanhood, labor and 9th.
er American interests peculiarly
interested in armament problems. y
The advisory delegation, it was ex-
planned, would not operate separate
ly as a group but as outstanding in
terests to be given voice in the
proceedings.
Foreign governments may have
more or less members in their ad.
yisory or supplementary bodies no
limit having been placed on their

ary to Tariff Laws.

A joint resolution designed to pre-
vent wholesale importation Of foreign
goods preliminary to the enactment
of tariff law by Congress was intro
duced yesterday by Chairman Little

dent to limit importations for ninety
days if he should determine that i'm
ports were about to be made in ex-
cess of necessities "for the purpose of
escaping payment of taxes about to
be levied"
This measure is apart from that
which republican leaders still are
hopeful of getting through to meet a
situation that may arise after the
proposed new permanent tariff law is
introduced. These leaders indica ted
today that they had not abandoned
the fight to make new import duties

resolution embodying the same pro-
visions would be offered after the
bill had been reported by the ways
