No. 2. WHAT is TUBERCULOSIS?

Prepared by the
~ TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE

DIX. IAWRASON BROWNS araha LAKE., NY
TUBERCULOSIS is a disease caused by a germ, discovered by Robert
L Koch in 1882, which early in its course produces little modules, called
tuberces. 1t is widely distributed throughout the world, and attacks man
nore severely when he abandons a nomadic or outdoor life and lives In large
center of civilization.
There arr two varieties of the tubercle germ that attack men, the human
germ and the cattle germ. The cattle GERM, while rarely affecting adults.

The germ gains entrance into the body by Inhalation of the fine droplets of

particles OF sputum in the dirt of the streets and houses, from balls, tops
amd other playthings to the mouth.
often he mouths the objects he soils in the dirt in play. BY the age Of
puberty twothirds to threequarers of all children have had the germ in their
bodies but only Il small percentage of these develop the disease. 1t Is eu-
mated that 100000 persons in the United States have tuberculosis today,
and without doubt man. contracted it first in childhood. 1t is not safe, how
ever to conclude as some would have is dc, that adults cannot catch con.
sumption, for Il rather large percentage may W the disease in their lungs

POOR PRINCETON MOTOR LOGIC.

The vision Of Princeton University
seems to have narrowed since Wood
row Wilson dropped the reins, Presi-
dent John Grier Hibben now trying TO
sound the death knell of the automo
bile for college undergraduates. While
the professor feels that no Legislative
action should be taken, he would have
parents discourage the use of the au-
tomobile by their sons, believing that
the value Of simplicity in living and
the elimination Of unnecessary luXu-
ries" should be implanted in the
youthful mind. 1t is a pretty fallacy,
but one that will not take root in the
thinking mind. The automobile is moi
an unnecessary luxury today. 1t is as
much a part OF life as the safety raz-
or. II is a necessity. 1t permits the
workman to live in Gods fresh air
instead OF being housed in the swelter-
ing tenements of the cities. 1t gives
forty league boots to the farmer, and
provides recreation to the hardworked
farmers wife; it brings the convent
ences of The own 10 the doors OF the
villages, and carries the product of
the country freshly 10 the mouths OF
the undernourished child-life of the
nation. College students cannot begin
too soon to know what The automobile
means to civilization, 10 commerce, to
health and TO life, and the best way
to know the automobile and to n
its blessings and its dangers is to own
and operate one. The few days of
youthful joy riding and hilarity soon
pass; indeed, it is doubtful if any
thing is more calculated TO bring the
Earum scarum youth TO his senses
quicker than "A motor car. If the col
lege trains the mind TO analysis as it
properly should, then the student can
have no better influence than his pro
fessors and his little car. The appre-
citation OF simplicity does not mean a
willingness to submit to the i%nconve-
niences of the dark ages. Fancy in
the days of Martha Washington if the
girls had been frowned on because
they liked to own electric washing
machines. Let us hope the day will
soon come when everyone will own a
car. Prof. Hibben should not throw
sand in the gears.

PROPOSE CHANGE OF
YEARLY CALENDAR,

The International Astronomical I'm
ion created in Brussels in July, 1919,
by representatives of Astronomy in
Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy
and the United States, is to hold its
second meeting this Spring, in Rome,
by invitation of Italy:
Calendar reform is one of the i'm
portant measures to come before the
Astronomical Union.
The American committee expects TO
suggest to the international committee
the following reformed calendar: The
year is TO begin with New Years Day,
a day with no other title. 1t is not
January |, nor is it named as a day
Of the week. Sunday, December 81,
comes before New Years; the day fol
lowing New Years will be Monday.
January |. This is followed by four
quarters of three months each, tn
first and second month to consist laI
thirty days and the third of thirtyd y
days. This accounts for the thren
hundred and ~sixty-Ave days of an ordf
nary year In leap year another day
is added preferably al the end of the
year, and may be called leap day
Like New Years it is not a day of the
week or month"; or course, adoption
of a new calendar can only be made
by action of the legislative bodies of
the various countries.
Our present complex calendar has
been in use 1000 years. Some of the
advantages of The proposed calendar
are the same number of week days in
each month, as he 31st always falls
on Sunday. The first, fifteenth and
thirtieth, important business days, al
ways fall OF week days; holidays fix
ed by date, July Fourth, Christmas,
etc, always fall on the same day Of
the week. 1t is likely that if the new
calendar is adopted, Easter will be on
a fixed date.
Another proposition which has been
advanced and which will be given
consideration is TO divide the year
into thirteen months of twenty-eight
days each.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Doesn't ii make you smile when you
hear some irreligious smart Aleck
laughing in his sleeve when he is told
to have faith? He thinks he's wiser
than the crowd, and cant see a thing
in faith. Then he goes his way TO
make a fortune in some business that
he never would start if he didn't have
faith. Faith is the foundation of all
human effort, just as much as Truth
Is the one thing the human ace is
bound to search for, and just Is SURE
as Love is the worlds compelling dy-
namo. Faith, Truth. Loye-three aces.
Add Ideals to inspire. and Courage to
persist, and we have a full hand, it
seems.

NlTRATEs MUST BE PRESERVED.


Before the issue is decided there
may be a hot fight in Congress over
the Muscle Shoals plan, but indica-
lions are that Henry Ford will win,
and that the fertilizer trust will o
be able to Offset the interest OF the
farmer. Congress is apt to view the
situation in the light Of past perform
ances, rather than in the light OF
promises for the future-the past per-
formances of Henry Ford and the
past performances of the fertilizer
ring. Belief is that if the Ford plan
is accepted the farmers will get cheap
fertilizer and if the Ford plan is re-
jected the farmers will get costly fer
tilizer. If this conviction prevails
public opinion will do the rest.
The Secretary OF War, MI. Weeks,
has been careful to point out that
Ford is Offering $1,000, 600 for two
nitrate plants that as scrap are said
to be worth $S,S12,000, and that if the
lFord plan is accepted Congress must
appropriate@approximately $4,000, 900
OF which Ford will have the benefit
for 100 years at 4 per cent. All Of
which sounds terrifying now that Hog
Island and other figures are pushed
gently in the background. 1t would
be interesting to know how many
hundreds OF thousands of dollars if
not millions il would cost the govern
ment to sell these nitrate plants as
scrap. Uncle Sam conducts an eXpen-
sive selling establishment as a rule.
Some one said ii used to cost about
800 to buy a bottle of ink for the
Shipping Board before the order found
its way through all the departments.
The important consideration is not
the cash difference between the offer
ed price and the price to be obtained
for the plants as scrap. Scrapping OF
the plants would be criminal when
they can be developed into almost a
national blessing.
For centuries nitrates have been
wasted in the air. We cant afford
now 10 bury them in the scrap heap.
The people are clamoring for cheaper
fertilizer and The people are crying
for cheaper food.

NONRESIDENT High School Pupils


Editors Pleasantville Press
In the issue of February 16. of the
Atlantic City Daily Press, an article
appeared under the caption, "Out-of-
Town Pupils keep Tax-rate Down.
This article was written as an at
tempt 10 defend the acceptance of
nonresident high-school pupils to the
number of n hundred and fifty-eight
and thus subject that number of our
W grade pupils to halliday sessions.
Besides, the attempt is most objec-
tionable for three reasons, viz, first,
that it takes no notice of part-time
pupils loss in education, resulting
from school accommodations absorbed
by these nonresident pupils; second,
1t ascribes importance to the prenten-
ded reduction of % cents per 500 in
The tax rate, an amount insignificant
in comparison with the loss to so
many of u W pupils crowded out
TO make room for the "out-of-town
pupils; third, it argues by means of
a one-sided array of figures, that it is
a great advantage to accept "Out-of-
Town" pupils, which is not generally
taken with much seriousness.
But matters are not true because
they are said or unsaid; hence. the
following statement of facts is sub
mitted for candid and impartial con
sideration; and, from this statement.
it will be shown that someone has
