Dear sgd:
J had no idea when left you
and Sally Atherton to take Leslie
home that you we're going to do
your usual vanishing act. ! think
old man. it would have been better
had you stayed here rather than
catching that morning train, You
must have read the accounts IN
The morning paper at the station.
II seems TO me, however, that as
long as you had been here when
The thing started you might as
well have stayed and played the
game until the end,
OF course all The afternoon scan
dial sheets have had interviews with
everybody except the people who
are concerned in the accident
II has become one of my great
est indoor sports TO read In the
daily papers what is being said
about me and my family each day.
My personal life is even more
public than my income tax return
because my income tax returns
were only published once a year in
each newspaper 9nd il seems to mo
that my personal affairs in one
way or another have been publish

Consequently my secretary would
not be down to the Office until the
next morning. You know. sgd, that
Leslie never intcrferes with any OF
my office plans and l was not only
surprised but little peeved when
I found what she had done.
It was past closing time when

Record in Fight on
Bovine tuberculosis
More Tests in October, 1924,
Than Any One Month.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricuture.)
More cattle were tuberculin ties cd
during the month of October, 1924. in
the nationwide campaign to eradicate
bovine tuberculosis than were ever
tested In any previous month, accord
ing to a summary of the work com
piled by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. A total of 642,.
602 cattle were given the tuberculin
test during that month by the force OF
veterinarians engaged by the govern
ment and those cooperating in stamp
ing out this costly cattle plague.
This exceeds by more than sixteen
thousand the previous record number
of cattle tested In one month. In May
1924, there were tested 626,257 cattle
which was the highest number until
the recent month Of October. The
total number of cattle now under su
pervision for the eradication of tuber
eulosis is 9,19S,975. That the work OF
tuberculosis eradication is popularity
supported is shown by the fact that
there Is waiting list of more thar
two and one-half million cattle whose
owners desire to have them tested a:
soon as practicable.
OF the 642,602 cattle tested in Octo
Der there were 24,440 which reacted
to the test, indicating that they wers
tuberculous. Such animals are imme
diately disposed Of in accordance witt
regulations for the prevention Of theil
acting as spreaders of the infection d
tuberculosis.
