PRESIDENT HARDING

President Harding received at the
White House this afternoon the Of
ficers and about 200 members of the
National tuberculosis Association,
which closed it's eighteenth annual
meeting at the First Congregational
Church.
Among those greeted by the Presi-
dent were DR.. Lawrason Brown of
Saranac Lake, N. Y, newly elected
president of the association; DR..
George NJ Kober of tlis city, secre-
tary; H. v. Platt, New York city,
treasurer, and DR.. Charles j. Hatfield,
Philadelphia, and DR.. J. w. Petit,
Ottawa, ILL.,, vice presidents.
President Harding was unable to
greet the nearly 1000 members of the
association who attend the three
day convention here, so the officers
and 200 members were admitted by
card.
Sectional Meetings Close.
Sectional meetings of the conven-
ton came to a close this morning,
the meeting of the sociological sec
ton in the auditorium OF the church
attracting large attendance. "A
Tuberculosis Children" was discussed,
special papers being delivered by
Miss Murphy. assistant director Of the

said that ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS rooms
were to be found alongside of the
open window" rooms, whereas every
schoolroom should be an open win

problem is to keep the well child
well. the malnouriShed child being an
especial and fundamental problem.
Fairgrounds, she said, are failing to
contribute to the health of the chill
dren to the fullest extent if they do not
realize the great number of chill
dren who are physically unable to
take part in the games.
Health standards. she continued,

should be established at all play
grounds, SO that children would work
to become healthy in order to be al
lowed to take part in the games
DR.. Rich outlined a medical basis
for a program Of treatment and pre-
vention Of tuberculosis in childhood,
declaring that while infants OF tuber-
cular mothers are usually neaitny
enough, the infants are so susceptible
that they catch the disease In lew
days unless removed.
.The mortality rate for tubercu-
losis in infants is 100 per cent. DIR.
Rich stated He therefore urged
that every child born of tubercular
mother be separated from the mother
at its birth, and that though this
might seem cruel, it was less cruel
than the inevitable death which
awaited the child if kept near the
mother. .....
w. 8. Unord Presides.
Walter S. Ufford, secretary Of the
Washington tuberculosis Association,
presided. The program drew a large
attendance of local tuberculosis
workers, since the development OF
the local tuberculosis association
having been requested to appoint
special committee by the Council of
Social Agencies.
DR.. w. d. Tewksburysis chairman
of this special committee, which al
ready has made a preliminary report
to the local asspciation, showing that
there are at the present time more
than $50 children in the District
diagnosed as actively tubercular. The
association is trying to find out just
how many children there are IN
Washington at the present time who
are exposed to the disease because or
it's presence in their own families.
The problem of the malnourlsneu
child is being met here by the con-
duct of twelve nutrition clinics.
Brig. Gen. Amos A. Fries. chief OF
the chemical warfare service, U. s..
A., told the conference this after
noon that he is convinced that no
serious tuberculosis after-effects can
be attributed to warfare gases, and
that the number of cases suffering
from any other serious after-efects
from warfare gases is small.
Would Prevent MalnutritiOn.
The prevention of malnutrition
means to a great extent the preven-
ton of tuberculosis, DR.. r. p. Elmer
son of Boston told members of the
association at a meeting yesterday
afternoon. DR.. Emerson is president
Of the Nutrition Clinics for Delicate
Children, in Boston.
