CATCHING TUBERCULOSIS
FROM A COW

TT HAS been known for many years
4 that tuberculosis was carried by
milk. But it is not often that a plain.
~clear-cut connection can be shown be-
tween the infected COW and the infect
ed child. The Connecticut state de-
partment of health. in a recent bulle-
tin. reports an instance of infection or
four children by milk from tu%bercular
cows.
A Connecticut dairyman kept about
twenty cows. Most of the milk from
these cows he sold to a large distribu-
TOR. who ~pasteurized his milk before
delivering 1t to his customers. But he
also sold milk to two families, neigh
bors. who were supplied with fresh
raw milk, direct from the COWS with
out pasteurizing.
One family began to purchase milk
in July, 1922, and continued until
April. 1924. The other began using
milk In February. 1922, and continued
until February, 1924.
In the first family, there were W
children, nine and eleven. In Novem-
Der. 1928, after drinking the raw milk
for a little over a year, the older child
developed tubercular meningitis and
died. The younger child also became
III but recovered as 0 o as the mother
stopped giving her the milk from the
neighbours COW.
In the other family. there were also
two children, ten and twelve years old
They both became III in December,
1928. The younger child developed
tubercular glands in the neck as we'll
as consumption and died in April, 1924
The older child had tuberculosis Of the
bowels. as well as enlarged glands.
The child was operated on and the. use
Of the infected milk stopped. It Is
now slowly recovering.
-Four children III and two of them
dead out Of four children naturally
led TO an investigation. The state
agricultural commission sent a vet
Urinary to examine the herd. The
cows looked well but all reacted TO the
tuberculin test. When killed. every
cow was found to be diseased.
Cows have tuberculosis, just the
same as human beings. The germs
reach the milk either from the lungs
OF from the diseased udders. Cows
with tuberculosis Of the lungs cough
up the germs and then swallow them.
The germs then get from the manure
into the milk.
Where does your milk come FRONT
Unless II Is ~pasteurized II is danger
GUS. especially to children.
Raw milk should be heated to 40
degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes be-
fore being fed to children.

Watch Headlights

A slight fender collision at the front
of the car may throw one or both of
the headlights out Of focus. Head
lights are frequently attached TO the
tenders, or at least to a cross rod
braced from the tenders. Thus it re-
quires but q slight change In the posi-
ton of either fender to throw a head
light out OF adjustment. If a front
fender has been struck and straight
ened out again. better test the head
lights to make sure that everything is
In order.

First Glass Driver Is
Known by Good Merits

Are you a good automobile driver?
You may think you are, but to quail
ify the following tests must be passed,
according to experts of the AutomO-
bile Club of Southern California.
A really first-class driver is known
by:
His skillful steering.
His ease of handling.
His thoughtfulness of pedestrians.
His properly adjusted steering APP
paratus.
His strict obedience to every traffic
regulation.
His extensive and intelligent use Of
arm signals.
His use of the brakes before he gets
to the curve.
His protection of his motor; his use
of second and first speeds.
His alternate use of foot and hand
brakes on long grades and in emergen-
cies.
His respect for railway crossings;
he stops, looks, and shifts gear before
he is actually on the tracks.

UNIFORM CODE IS
VERY NECESSARY
Motorists Encounter Much
Confusion in Touring
Various States.

The Washington Post remarks that
In driving from Washington to New
York, the motorist encounters five diff
ferent highway codes. He may be
driving in exact accordance with the
laws in the District of Columbia or
any one of the five states concerned,
but If he continues driving in exactly
the same way he will encounter much
confusion because of the many differ
emit traffic laws in the various states.
Uniform Laws Needed.
The need of uniform laws to make
1t easier alike for motorists and pub
lie authorities, is very evident. Mo
toring is no longer local. 1t is ma
tional in scope for business and pleas
ure. Uniformity is needed particu-
larly because Of the eyergrOwing army
of automobile tourists. to whom the
traffic unit is the country. not the state
or city.
Federal action on this subject may
be impossible, but there is no good
a why the states should not all
cooperate with the aid of the automo-
bile associations in working out a uni
form system. The least that might be
done is to provide some logical and eff
fectiye method for informing the tour
list regarding the laws in effect as he
enters their jurisdiction.
Suggestions Offered.
For years the various states have
been talking about uniform traffic
laws. but 1925 finds this situation just
as much OF a question as heretofore.
Among the suggestions for co-opera-
tive efforts by automobile dealers and
municipal and state officials in aiding
tourists, are the following:
/. That states should erect a sign
board at the state boundary line on
every main highway, giving a brief
digest OF state laws tourists should
know. Maryland is already doing this
with great success.
2. Every town should post a brief
survey as to r~ight-of-way rules and
speed Traits several miles out Of each
community and again on entering the
town.
8. Automobile dealers should also
quote the laws in effect in their COM
munities by means of signboards,
printed in their salesrooms. Every ga
rage ami gasoline station should help
perfect this system.

Spring shackle play or looseness be-
tween the spring end and the shackle,

president of church society, an aux

reign in spite of his successor.
At the meeting Friday night he
took the chair mainly by a deter

by actual force. Once the gavel was
in his hand, however, he threatened
to crack his opponents head as well

Patrolman Mills was sought, who
in turn summoned Detectives Higgins

On the officers advice, the meet
ing was dispersed with the opposition
