KENTUCKY FIFTH
IN PLAGUE TOLL

Washington, Dec. 3.-Only Col
orado, Tennessee, Virginia and Cali
fornia, in that order, had higher tu-
berculosis death rates than Ken
tucky in 1921, according to Census
Bureau figures made public today.
With 3,197 deaths from the disease
during the year, Kentucky's tu-
berculosis death rate is 1866 to ev-
cry 100000 of population. Indiana,
with 2,752 deaths, had a rate of
S9.7.
Statistics were available from on
ly thirty-four States. In this area
there were $4,000 tuberculosis
deaths in 1921, rate of 99.4. The
Census Bureau estimates the total
number of tuberculosis deaths in
the entire country for the year at
about 10000, as compared with
1920 estimate of 10000.
In the States with large negro
populations, the Bureau calculated
the rates separately for whites and
negroes. In this group. Kentucky
showed the highest tuberculosis
death rates for both the white and
negro populations. Kentucky's
white tuberculosis death rate for
the year was 1857 and the negro
death rate 1861.
In spite of Kentucky's showing
for 1921, the figures show health
improving in the State.
There were 3,705 tuberculosis deaths
in 1920 and 3,9S2 in 1919, as against
3 ,197 last year.

be acted upon by the Legislature in
the next three weeks. expressed the
belief that tho date of adjournment,

This date was originally fixed by
three or four men in the two branches
of the Legislature and agreed upon by
both houses without protest because
every one in authority here, from the
Governor down. thought that no New

sidored at the regular session. but

TRENTON, Feb. 21-The disturbed
condition of the New Jersey National
Guard reached .he turning point to-
day when the Senate passed tho Powell
bill over the veto of Governor Edwards.
TIC bill is now law and It's effect is
to abolish the New Jersey National
Guard as it existed in the b7th Brigade
and to provide in its place a complete
reorganization. with changes in per-
sonnel and units.
Guard conditions in New Jersey have
for months been chaotic Since the
selection of General Howard S. Borden,
of Oceanic, as Brgadier General there
has been confusion and disruption
Some cliques of the guard were in IA
vor of General Borden, while others
vigorously attacked the methods by
which he was elevated and his ability
to handle the position, although he
had passed the severe test imposed by
United States army officers The Mac
Kay legislative committee made an in
Quiry into guard activities and recon-
mended that the guard be reorganized.
Following the passage Of the Powell
bill by both the House and Senate.
Governor Edwards vetoed it, alleging
that it would have the effect of throw
ing the National Guard into partisan
politics and that it was unfair to the
faithful men of the service to oust
them because Of the evident desire to
bring about the downfall of General
Borden. General Borden's resignation

Engineers Renew
Plea for [. S. Aid i'm
Foreign Oil Fields
Recommendations Made al
Convention Here to Sup
plement Dwindling Petro-
leum Resources in Country

Renewed demands for governmental
assistance to facilitate the development
of foreign oil fields by American COM
panles were made yesterday 3. the an
nual meeting Of the American Institute
Of Mining and MetalurCical NJ Engineers,
at the Engineering Societies Building
Ralph Arnold, chairman Of the pc
troleum and gas committee, IN opening
discussion in the auditorium, made
four Recommendations for supplement-
ing the dwindling petroleum resources
of the United States. They were:
An appraisal of the oil possibilities Of
all countries; support for the move
ment to bring close cooperation among
American companies in foreign cxplor-
ations and development; modification
Of our domestic oil policy so that bet
ter treatment can be had as to royalties
and bonuses, and the calling Of atten-
tion "to the unjustitiably drastic action
of the pricefXing group of the oil in
dustry during the last year or So with
methods in the future"
With importations from Mexico of
l00,o00,000 gallons year to augment
the dwindling domestic supply, which
faces exhaustion within twenty years
the need for constructive action was
imperat tive, it was declared
at is no longer lese majesty in oil
dom to warn of our waning resources
and call attention to the need of a
foreign supply" Mr.. Arnold said, and
continued:
"Walter Tcagle has endeavorcd tc
show by statistics that the foreign i'm
ports Of oil have little effect upon the
price of our light domestic crude oil
Mr.. Teagle's case is greatly weakened
by the fact that the price fxcr&
knocked 70 per cent from the price
when the great glut of Mexican OF
loomed last winter, but began raising
the price again Immediately it dawned
| on the fXers that most of the proven
Mexican fields were doomed to speedy
| exhaustion"
The result had been the ruin of many
small operators, Mr.. Arnold said ant
hence Congress should give the Presi
dent power to fix an import duty OF
oil which could be made effective when
ever needed to protect the American
! industry.
Officers were elected yesterday. Colo
mel Arthur S. Dwight, Of New York, is
the new president, succeeding Edwin T
