CONTROLLING TUBERCULOSIS
Demonstrations to BE Made in New York
with Aid of NIilbank Fund.

A large part of the income from $l0,-
100000 for the next few years has been
set aside by the Milbank fund to demon
stratc in several New York state dis
tricts how tuberculosis can be controlled
in American communities. Between
100000 and 100000 annually for the
next five or more years will be available
for the demonstrations.
This announcement was made today
by John A. Kingsbury, secretary of the
Milbank fund, at the annual meeting of
the National tuberculosis association.
Mrs. Elizabeth Milbank Anderson of
New York city and the demonstrations
are to be in the nature of a memorial
to her. Edward W. Sheldon, of New
York, is president of the board of trustees
of the fund and has associated with him
several prominent New York financicrs
and lawyers.
NJ. said the ffttr4
proposed to initiate a series of not more
than three demonstrations in New York
state cities and communities which
would assist in their operation and sup,
port. The demonstrations will be based
upon the successful experience of the
tuberculosis demonstrations conducted
for the last five years at birmingham
Mass. by the National tuberculosis as
ISOLATION and the Home hospital expert
ment conducted in New York.
The purpose is to determine whether
any American community. with proper
organization and at reasonable expense,
can reduce its tuberculosis death rate, as
has been done in Framin oham to nom
inal minimum: and TO ascertain the
proper organization and per capita costs
of such undertakings anplied to large
cities end rural communities.
In New York state any community
will be eligible for consideration but it
is announced that only those whose
health agencies. public or private, are
willing to combine in assuring the great
ost possible assistance will be selected
for the demonstration The work will
be done through local tuberculosis:
health authorities and agencies.

RUBBER ROADS.
a Rubber Compound May BE Big Factor
in Road Building

Although there has been much discus
sion in the past respecting the utility
and availability OF rubber for road max
ing little or nothing has come of any
projects developed in that direction.
Either the expense of solid rubber
road has been prohibitive or insufficient
initiative has been aroused to give this
form of highway serious trial, says a
recent Firestone ship-by-truck bulletin.
Now. in the municipality of Colombo,
on the island of Ceylon, significant ex-
pcrimcntS have been in operation for
some time dealing with road dressing
having rubber for its base and a kind of
bark utilized as a filler.
This road dressing or surface, first
was tried on the private highway of a
rubber plantation in the Colombo vicin-
ity with good success. 1t stood up well
even after q years continual service al
though it is admitted that the highway
in question did not have TO bear the
ponderous truck loads and incessant
motor travelling which the average roads
experience today. Now good stretch
of Colombos highways has been paved
with il and experts are watching the re-
suits with great interest, according tc
the FirestOne experts.
While the cost of the dressing, at this
stage of experimentation, is 30 per cent
more than that of macadam and materia
of the kind, it is expected that the rub
Der surface will stand up much longer
naturally it is more resilient and tn,
filler protects it from conditions due tC
heat friction. Labor cost in laying the
rubber surface also is less than in Other
similar road work.
Many are optimistic enough TO pre-
dict that if durability can be proved thu
new rubber surface is likely to revolu
tionize the entire problem of road build

Hiram ATKINS BOOSTERS.

1t seems to me that politics
Have dwindled some Of late.
We sort of miss the olden days
OF good red-hot debate,
The rally and the campaign speech,
The bowling of the boosters
And oh ! the thing i miss the most
Is Hiram Atkins ROSTERS.
Along about Election time
Those cocks began to crow
You didn't have to read the text
The days result to know,
For when Democrat came in
They told it mighty quick
llhal let the other party win
SNlny but they looked sick.
WIFE r,ifltd feathers. dropping heads.
And nnuseated mien.
They told the world of their defeat
Like actors on n screen;
And only one there was who claimed
4 game he did not win.
Still shouting "Tilden elected,
But Hayes is counted in r.
Firm dyed-in-wool Republicans
We're all my worthy sires.
And many Il platform was discussed
Beside our evening fires:
But IIiram's Democratic birds
Were always welcome there,
TIL" Argus and the Tribune shared
My Granddad's easy-chair
The fun that blessed those good old day
We seem to miss by half
For those were times when men coul
fight.
But men could also laugh!
Bring back the campaign song an
speech.
And when Election day comes round
oh bring back Hiram's ROSTERS.

Irish Moss from France.

The trade in crude drugs in the Brest
district consists in the preparation and
expectation of Irish moss. This plant,
one of the marine algae is gathered by
coast during the summer neap tides. The
moss is spread out to dry, being washed
by frequent rains. 1t is then sold to
dealers, who pack it in tightly com
pressed bales after second cleansing
and sorting according to quality. Pre-
vious to the war the moss was largely
exported to Germany. In 1921 the es.
