over heard Of the Island OF zap. This re-
mote and barron little spcck on tho Pacific
Ocean appeared on few maps. 1t was never
trading post. 1t was never the refuge of
pirates. 1t was not on any OF the great
steamship lanes. 1t was OF no consequence
except as cable relay point. All trans
Pacific communication centered there solely
because 1t was so situated that messages
might be transmitted by way of it to adj
vantage from purely mechanical stand
point.
One day. however, the league of nations,
acting under delegated authority from the
peace conference, issued mandate giving
zap 10 the japanese Little notice
taken Of the circumstance at the time, but
some time after Mr. Wilson returned to
America he took notice of the zap mandate
and entered Il protest against it. The an
swcr came back that the mandate was ir-
revocable and that the records indicated
that America had agreed to il. y rcjondcr
went forth that whether rcvocable or ire
vocable, tho United States would not rccog
nizc tho mandate, but would assert its right
to have a hand in the future of the island.
Thcrcupon. zap became all international
sensation. Folks began to explore their
aliases in the hope Of finding it, There

land and it would be we'll to know where it
might be and what it might be worth. Not

scarcely enough vegetable life on the island

employees. But this did not matter. Japan
claimed the island; the United States dis

After MIR. Harding succeeded Mr.. Wilson
and Mr. Hughes succeeded MIR. Colby. the
new Secretary of State took up the contest
whore his predecessor had left off. He de-
manded withdrawal OF the mandate. The
league OF nations stood pat. Then Mr..
Hughes turned to Japan direct and negOtia-
lions were initiated. These negotiations
have been in progress for months and are
now about TO be consummated, are told.
Tho contamination is to be n compromise. as
most OF them are. Neither Japan nor
America is TO have a dominant voice in the
government OF the island. All The powers are

when these diplomatic conversations are
ended the world may speedily return to an
unconsciousness OF the fact that there is an

there is n sanitarum supported by tho state.
where only incipicnt cases OF tuberculosis arc
admitted. And these incipicnt or very carly
stage eases admitted only after duly
designated physician or two representing the
sanitarum shall have examined the candidate
and decided that the tuberculosis Is not far
advanced Advanced cases arc not wanted.
why should tho state spend money like
thatc In tho FIRST place, good many pa
tients arc admitted to the sanitarium who
have no tuberculosis at all. No doctor can posi-
lively say and no test will definitely prove.
that a patient has incipient tuberculosis OF
the lungs. when the affection Is in it's earliest
stage and health as yet not npprcciably i'm
paired. II is merely matter of optnion-and
the physicians duly designated to pass upon
the admissibiiity OF patients arc as likely to
error in judgment any ordinary physicians
anywhere. In the next place. n patient with
incipent tuberculosis of the lungs is not n
menace to the community in which he lives
or to associate among whom he works or
plays-hc cannot infect anybody. because there
is no elimination of tubcrclc bacilli in tho
incipicnt stage OF the disease. no breaking
down OF lung tissue.
On tho other hand. there arc hundreds Of
victims OF lung tuberculosis whose disease Is
well advanced, who are sorrly In need of sani-
tarium care. who may be cndanGerinE the
health and lives of those about them yet who
cannot obtain proper sasitarium care. simply
because there is no suitable provision made TO

spend giving free care and treatment to wards
who are meDnce to anybody. 1t is a dis
grace that other wards who may, and do
cndangcr those about them. cannot be proper
~ provided for.
Speaking OF incipicnt cases only, the sani-
tarium authorities do use that rule in practice
exclude undesirable patients. but ncvcrthc-

that in practice II amounts to n public insti-

yet tho State furnishes institutional care for

An institution open to incipicnt tuhercn-
losis is Of the greatest value as n center for
