firmed by the Senate. This commits
sioner, it is provided, shall be chair
man of the Public Utilities Commits
sion. The cher new commissioner
would be an officer of the Engineer
Corps of the Army whose rank is
above that of captain.
Present Situation Cited.
1t is argued in support of this
measure that the District Commits
sioners, who constitute the Public
Utilities Commission today, are al
ready overburdened with the work of
administering the government OF the

There should be members of the
Public Utilities Commission who are
able to give their entire time and
attention to matter affecting the pub
lie utilities in the District. it is said.
Two other bills ordered favorably
reported to the Senate by the COM
rrittee were those to enable the Rock

HOLD TUBERCULOSIS DAY.
Philadelphia Speaks at MONDAY
Meeting.

tuberculosis day of Health week
was observed today. Prior to the noon
day meeting at Keith's Theater n float
representing the health crusade and
carrying children of the Dennison
School in costume started from Zero
milestone, passed through the bust
ness center of the city and then park
ed opposite the theater.
Harvey Dee Brown, director of the
Philadelphia health council and tu-
berculosis committee, delivered the
principal address. Senator Ball pre-
sided. Boys and girls from the Denni-
son School sang in chorus and mo-
ton picture film, "Jinks," prepared
by the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton, was shown.
Many Advances Made.
Mr.. Brown in his address declared
he could speak of the prevention of
tuberculosis with great assurance to-
day as compared with what would have
been possible to, say ten years ago.
For this change of attitude he gave
four reasons:
First. The actual results obtained
from organized voluntary tuberculosis
and public health work; the decline of
the death rate in the whole nation
from 1913 per thousand to ninety-seven
per thousand since 1908.
Second. The change of public opinion
due to educational work of tuber-
cUloSis associations throughout the
onstration of preventive methods
such as clinics, open air classes in
schools. preventoria, camps and occu-
pational therapy in hospitals.
Third. This change of attitude may
be traced to the immense sums of
money now available throughout the
nation obtained by the almost univer-
sal habit of buying Christmas seals,
these large funds making possible
the above mentioned demonstrations.
Fourth. The assurance that tuber-
culosis is preventable, which has
given the campaign the spirit of a
winning highland the speaker said
that all that was needed now were
more and better demonstrations of
preventive measures all along the
line.
