THE WHITE PLAGUE

That there are approyimately
$4,000 persons in Virginia today sui
terlng from active tuberculosis, and
that this large number of cases of an
infectious disease constitutes a real
menace to the Commonwealth, is the
conclusion reached BY the Tubercuio-
SIS Committee appointed by the Leg
lSlature of 1920" said j. Sinclair
Brown, of Roanoke, chairman, in an
interview today.
Mr.. Brown stated that an idea Of
the losses due to tuberculosis might
be CLEANED from the fact that al
though 1920 showed the lowest tu
berculosis death rate, there were in
that year two and one-half times as
many deaths from that disease alone
as there were from the next seven
most dangerous infectious diseases
smallpox, diphtheria, measles,
whooping cough, scarlet fever, ma
laria and typhoid fever combined.
An economic paper translated the
deaths from tuberculosis during a
seVen-year period into dollars and
cents. At 4 conservative estimate
the total reached to S195, 1000, 100000
Mr.. Brown stated that the Report
of the Committee was rapidly reach
ing completion and would be ready to
transmit to the General Assembly
when it convenes next January.
Every available source Of informa>
ton was used in the preparation Of
the Report, which is q comprehensive
record of findings. The committee sat
at each of the sanatoria, interviewed
the staff Of each, consulted experts
and others interested, examined NOR
tally tables, and had prepared for
it statistical and economic papers.
Studies Of the amount Of tubercu-
losis in the general population were
made from the morbidity statistics
and from reports of field clinic con-
Quoted by the State Boart. OF Health
in cooperation with the Virginia
tuberculosis Association Mr.. Brown
said that the evidence mad convinced
the Committee that there were prob
ably $4,000 tuberculous persons in
the State today. Better registration
Of cases is, in the opinion of the

DISQUE HIGH SCHOOL
 PROSPECTS BRIGHT

Gadsden, September 21.--(Special.) League park is the scene of unusual activity now, as Coach Jones is pre- pairing his warriors for one of the hardest schedules ever faced by Disque High school, and with the fine material that is reporting for practice he expects to turn out the best machine that has ever repre- sented the local High on the grld- iron.
 Practically all of last years men are back and fighting hard to re- tain their old places. but that is quite unlikely as some of the most promising new material that has ever been on the local field has reported to Coach Jones, and are working hard to win berth over number of last years regulars. Several scrubs have shown wonderful inn provement and promise to make it hot for other members of the team.
 Eight games have been booked and the ninth is trying to be arranged with Central High of Birmingham.
 The line will be one of the heav-
