National Tuberculosis association.
DR.. Barksdale is an examiner OF
tuberculosis ex-service men for the

ice and is familiar with the difficult
ties of the problem facing the coun-
try in connection with their proper
care and treatment.
At the annual meeting OF the Ma
tional association held recently in
New York city 1t was pointed out
that the best results in the tuber-
culosis hospitals cannot be attained
under the present lack OF suitable
disciplinary regulations 1t was
stated that the chief causes Of this
fatal defect are: first the demoraliz
ing influence upon many Of the
men Of the present compensation
act and its administration; second
the failure of the public, OF Con-
gross, of local posts Of the Ameri-
can Legion and of other organize
tions interested in the welfare Of
tho ex-service man, to familiarlze
themselves with the facts Of the
tuberculosis situation.

This decision was reached fol-

Of separate valuation on the upper

POLICE COURT FINES
. ARE P|L|NG UP
Receipts For The Present
Month Promise To
Set Record

More fines have been collected
in police court SO far this month
than in any other month in years,
and it now seems certain that July,
1921 will not only establish the
highest heat record in years but
will hang up the highest record for
police court fines. Fines amount
ing to SITS were imposed during
the first half of the month, which
II continued, would make the police
department entirely self-support-
ing.
That warm weather induces va
GRANGE and the latter results in
lawlessness is one reason advanced
for the unusual amount Of lawless-
ness in this city in recent years.
The most fines collected in any
previous month were collected in
August, 1920, when the sum Of
$934.03 was turned into the city
treasury.
In the past the police department
has been just about fifty per cent
sef.supporting. Unofficial figures
at the city hall which have not vet
been audited, show that during the
fiscal year just ended, the sum of
Sc, 634.34 was collected in police
court fines. The expenses Of the
police department amounted to
sly 64S.7 rs. Uniforms for the Off
GERS cost S998.6e,
