DO WE TAKE CARE
OF OUR COMMUNITY?

Are you interested in the eradica-
ton of disease that is a scourge to
our state-the disease of tuberculo-
sis? Did you know that in the State
Of Louisiana hundreds are dying
yearly for lack Of proper care and
medical treatment That IN our per-
ish-in our own city-many cages
are uncared for because Of our lack
of institutional
Did you know that the charity hos
pitfalls can accommodate only small
per centage of the tubereular pa
tients who appeal to them? And
then only those in the last stages Of
the disease. Did you know, that in
this section of the country the death
rate from tuberculosis, in relation to
all other deaths, is higher than in any
other section of the country?
When we realize that Louisiana
has not sufficient hospital space for
advanced cases to die in, much less
for the cure of incipient cases, the
need for the establishment of hos
pitfalls is obvious The Anti-Tubercu-
losis League Of Louisiana has plans
for a state hospital well under way.
Every parish has been asked 20 raise
$500 for the building and mainte-
nance fund. Many parishes have al
ready responded. What viii Wash
ington Parish do?
Come to the Y. w. c. A. Monday,
August 20, at 4:30 p. M, and have
a cup Of tea and hear Miss Louise
Shredder explain the purpose of the
movement.

Firm Seeks Mortgage
On Jersey Tunnel Work
N. Y. Commissioners Term
Ridiculous Plea 10 Move
Equipment Nov

An attempt to obtain a mortgage on
Contract No. of the New York New
Jersey Tunnel by the Sha Construc-
ton Company, the firm favored by the
New Jersey commissioners, was brought
to light yesterday at conference of
Jersey members Of the Interstate Com
mission.
Correspondence addressed to Cliff
ford M. Holland, chief engineer for
the commission and referred by him
to the mmissioners, disclosed re-
quest OF the competing company for
permission to move its equipment ON
the site of operations pending the
award of the contract The reason
given by the Shaft Construction Com
pany for the request Of this favor was
the edsire to expidite work in the
event Of the contract being awarded it.
The letter specified that the company
would bear all expenses connected with
the movement and with vacating the
site in case it was not chosen for the
work.
The request was admitted to file by
the Jersey Commission, but not acted
upon.
New York commissioners, when In
formed of the facts in the case branded
1T as an attempt to obtain foothold
on the contract. They declared it un-
ethical, and in view of the fact that
the agreement with the Erie Railroad
has not been completed, ridiculous.
Until the signing of tho Erie agree
ment the commission has no right to
grant permission to any one to occupy
the site, and the New York commits
sioncrs say that as soon as the agree
ment is signed Contract No. will be
let without delay.
Denials made by John o. Devln,
Commissioner of Public Safety of Bay
onne, and published in New York pa
pers, that he was not connected with
the Shaft Construction Company, were
confuted by the files of the tunnel com
mission.
