CATHOLIC CHORAL. SOCIETY MAKES
 DEBUT SUNDAY

The Catholic Choral Society will present it's first public program at Polls theatre on Sunday afternoon, January 22. The Catholic Choral So- ciety is one of the clubs connected with the Catholic Community House on Barpum avenue. The Choral So- ciety was organized only last fall but, under the able direction of Prof. M. J. Grattan, is has made such progress as to warrant a public appearance next month.
 The society numbers over 50 voices and includes representatives from nearly all the parishes in the city.
 The primary am of the society is to encourage musical art. It is the wish of the members of the organi- Zation that the proceeds of their public concerts be devoted to relief work among the poor The proceeds of the coming concert will, therefore, be turned over to the Catholic Char ita'ble Bureau for relief purposes.
 S. z. Poli has displayed his usual generosity and his interest in music by donating the use of the theatre for this concert.
 The spirit of charity which pre- vai1s in the Catholic Choral Society was we'll expressed by the large per centage of members who volunteered to go to some of the institutions of

[ the city to sing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve. The institutions wis tied were St. V:ncent's Hospital Hill side Home and the County Jail. In all the institutions the singing was greatly enjoyed by the inmates. It is likely that the singing Of Christmas carols at the institutions on Christ mas Eve will become an annual cus- tom.
 The program to be presented on January P will be varied in charac- ter. Rossinis Stabat Mater is also being prepared for a Lenten pro- gram:
 The regular weekly rehearsals were first held at the Catholic Community House. but is was afterwards found necessary to secure a larger hall. The reEearsals are now being held on Thursday evening at the rooms of the Bridgeport Mus:cfans' Association at Main and State streets. All members who wish to take part in the concert program are urgently requested to be present at the rehearsals as only few more will be held before the con- cert.

COMMUNISTS
 GALL ARMAMENT
 PARLEYS A FARCE

E in, Dec. 3O-''The Washington conference is resolving into a sad farce" said the Communist newspa- per Rote Fahne, today, in its editor ial comment. ''It is already clear that the imperialistic powers will not disarm nor limit armaments but will arm themselves more than ever re- gardless of any agreeents now in the making. Frances wants are unjust, It appears that France will be the potential opponent of England, but a strong political ally of the United States"
 proved anew that French statesmen and diplomats are onlp shoemakers alongside the Anglo-Saxon conferees who have cleverly managed to ex- pose France as the d.sturber of world peace" said the Lokal Anzfeger.
 The whole German press is gloat- ing over the recent developments, Washington revealing Frances de- termination to maintain strong fighting establishment both on land and on sea.

GREAT FIGHT AGAINST T,b, IS vVIPING OUT PLAGUE IN
 BRIDGEPORT EACH YEAR

Tuberculosis is apparently on the decrease according to figures given out recently by Health Officer Will liam H. Coon. Last year there were reported to the Health Department 153 deaths from tuberculosis. This year, to date, 11S deaths wre report cases reported during the rest of the month will change the figures to any great extent. In discussing the question today pr. Coon said that the Health Department is spending very little effort or money in a direct fight against the white plague.
 All the work of the Health De- pawment is directed against the con- Once that the disease has progressed 90 far in an individ ua1 as to become recognized it is too often impossible of cure and it .is then the duty of the department to direct all it's efforts against the conditions and causes, and there are many which are re- sponstble for the appearance of tu- bercuIosis.
 Dr. Coon said that the Health De- partment program is built around the prevention of disease and the up- building of the rss5stence of the in dfvidual to disease. The work com it is born until it goes out into the community through the schools and afterward to the continued educa ton of the individual and the sanitation of his surroundings. t'In fact" said Dr. Coon. "our whole program is
 built around the correction of those conditions responsible for the ap- pearance and spread of tuberculosis in the community.
 About 5000 children have applied at the various clinics for treatment to various ailments and among. these 5000 many were found to be suffer- ing from tuberculosis in one form or other. These children were immed1- ately isolated and their cases given specific treatment. In all the tuber- cular cases treated the majority have recovered. There is only one case considered serious.
 The care of the children attending the schools of the city by the school nurses is another check on tubercu- | losis. If they find any tubercular sus- poets they are immediately sent to | the clinic and given treatment. 1 By controlling communicable df- | seases, often leading to tuberculosis | the disease is kept down to mini | mum.

PRESIDENT IS
 OPTIMISTIC FOR
 1922 BUSINESS

Omaha, Neb, Dec. 8o-Belief that the national business situation Is go- ing to improve in 1922 was expressed Ioy President Harding in a message made public today by the Omaha Chamber of Commerce in connection with an entertainment in honor of Omaha.
 President Harding said it was his hope that travelling men will con- tinue in the coming year the splendid work for American business and na- tiona1 confidence which they have al- ways conducted in the past. It has long been a conviction with me that no group of men do more to spread the spirit and sentiment of optimism than do these ambassadors of busi- ness, as like to call them"

Coone also keeps down the deadly plague. It is the duty of these in spectors to forbid the sale of food, if the protection afforded the food and the conditions surrounding it, do not come up to health department stand ards.
 Restaurants are also visited and if the sanitation of the place is not as it ought to be the place is ordered closed as a menace to the public health. Another spreader of the di- sease is cracked crockery. Here in the cracks of the cups and dishes be gobbled up by some hungry person who unsuspectingly takes into his system the deadly germs.
 If the person is in strong physical condition he can ward off the attack whereas a person in poor health is liable to contract the disease. The inspectors are very cautious not to allow cracked crockery in public eat ing houses because the cracks afford the germs a place from which to launch an attack.
 The keeping of the city. clean is another means to the end. The con- stan< removal of ashes, garbage and other refuse and it's destruction re- moves another fort from the tuber- cular germs are able to penetrate into She human system.
 Milk, one of the greatest necessi- ties of life is another favorable sub- stance through which the germs are apt to enter a broken down system and give tuberculosis %0 the indi- vidueL Extra precautions are taken by the Health department to guard the milk supply of the city. Cows are examined twice yearly 60 ascer- tain if they are tubercular or not. and if they are found to have the dis ease they are either ordered killed or
 heir. milk pasteurfzed. Raw milk can only be obtained from cows which have been certified by the de- partnent to be free from tubercu- losis in all it's forms. By pasteuriz- ing the milk, the tuberculosis germs, if there are any, in the milk, arc killed and rendered harmless.
 Tuberculosis germs can easily be distinguished when placed under a powerful microscope. They resemble very much short red sliYers. Exam nations are made fss:y in the Health department laboratory for tu- bercu1osis. There are enough germs | in the laboratory to kill the entire city but they are absolutely harmless l after being heated until ihey arc | dead. Terrific heat is required tc render the germs harmless.

 She comes as a revelation to a jad- ed public, surfeited with sex pictures. Her vivacious personality, her roug- 1sh, entreating smile and her intel igent handling of the flip fapper'' role of Nan Rut1edge, assures the success of her first dramatic offering
 The story is by Percival Wilde, a form it was called .srhe Bufterfiy'" ut ial a title which exactly pictures the Nan Rutledge type.
 King Baggot did a notable piece of work in the direction Of the produc- tion.
 Clyde F'illmore's portrayal of Tony Griswold, the strong-armed lover, will add to his screen reputation. Lio- nel Belmore, as Major Rutledge, a tempestuous old shorter, is excellent. Rene, the interior decorator and cro- quet champion, is handled with com mendable reserve by George Fisher. Marie Crisp adds distinction to small part.
 The story deals with the history of Nan Rutledge-a baby vamp-from men so easily that she doesn't want them. This is, all with the exception of Tony-who-but there's no use giving away a good story.

For Good of
 the Community

it is better
 Memory is not yet cold of the trying delays in the receipt of shipments ot goods from faraway brokers and manu lecturers in those fat days when the pur chasing public clamored for everything at any price.
 A Birmingham sporting goods firm whose order for child's velocipedes was placed in the spring, did not receive then until Christmas trade was gone. There was the agony of prosperity in those days. Money hung in great festoonS from the ceiling of belated transporta tion just above the grasping.
 Murray Brown, of the Goodall-Browr company, said:
 Never before in the history of Bir- mingham were there as forceful reasons for the trade territory naturally that of Birmingham to do business with Birmingham Never before has greater meaning clung about the expression, Getting what you want when you want 1t.
 Freight rates are high. Yes, high everywhere. The greater the distance from which one gets goods, the heavier the freight toll Busi- ness is done today on neighbor- hood basis.
 You can't go out and have goods hauled all over the continent for a song. He who does not study freight rates at the zenith of their career is emitting consideration of the life blood of his profits.
 Prices have been shifting about like an uneasy weathervane. Whole salers have not felt like ordering large stocks for future delivery. Re- tailers have not been indifferent to the passage of time being ordering and receiving goods. They have patronized the nearby jobber and wholesaler because they could get what they wanted when they want ed it.
 We have battled for years for rates that were fair to Birmingham rates that did not cut us out of our own territory by allowing places further off to enter at rates under ours. Thanks to the efforts of our shippers, principally through the Traffic Bureau, our rates in terri tory naturally ours have been so re- aligned that golden oppo1 tunity for our wholesalers and manufacturers to annex that trade exists.
 With fine crops near at hand, autumn bringing on a good coal busi- ness and iron and steel reviving, there is a prospect ahead that should satisfy any reasonable man. In this new era of prosperity the citizens of our trade territory are going to find it to their profit to do business with us more than ever be- fore and we will reach them at rates precluding lot of business that has heretofore gone to the outside. Getting what you want when you want it iron nearby Birmingham, at rates under those obtain ing on shipments from far away and subject t, delay is to be the order of business this fall ant winter.
 O.L. Bum, manager of the Traffic Bureau, wa asked if MT. Brown was right about freight rates He said:
 Mr. Brown is right. For instance: Nash villes former rail rate from the east has been raised from $1.66 to $2.10. Birmingham's water rate from the east is $175. The diff ference between $2. 10 and Sl.75 let's us into that trade territory to the north which Nash vile formerly had on her $1.66 base com pared with our $2.18
