For example, economic and social
studies have long ago shown that
tuberculosis is disease Of poverty.
1t Is comparatively rare among the
wellto-do. Not only does 1t thus vary
among the different classes of any
community, but 1t varies directly with
the general prosperity as itTaffects the

insurance mortality tables, based on
the histories of over 100000 men.
These statistics show that the death
rate from pulmonary tuberculosis Is
much less among overweights than
among underweights. For every over
weight man of this group who passed
away from this disease. a little over
nine Of the underweights died.

WHENEVER famine has stalked
" through a community, or even
when crop failures or economic de-
preston have deprived the people OF
sufficient food for a considerable
length Of time. there tuberculosis has
increased. One of the most striking
examples Of this fact was the expert
ence Of various European nations dur
ing the great war.
In England and the greater part Of
France the people did not lack food to
the point of being insufficient1y nour.
ished. But in occupied France and
Belgium, In Germany and Austria
Hungary. in the Balkans, in Poland
and in Russia, the food problem was
very acute. and greater part Of the
people were undernourished during
afterward. The difference in the ex-
perience of these two groups of coun-
tries az regards tuberculosis IL very
striking. In England and France the
disease did not increase during the
war. In the other countries the in
crease was astonishingly great, two
or even three times what II had been
previously. The chief reason for this
difference was the lack Of food, espe.
cially of fats.
1t is also important to note that this
great increase of mortality was among
young people. 1t did not occur among
the armies OF Germany, for example.

RESULT OF POTASH
TESTS FAVORABLE
Officials Encouraged After
Investigation of Deposits
in New Mexico.

Encoura ging results have been OBJ
tanned by experts of the Commerce
and Interior Departments in their
first tests to determine the extent of
potash deposits in the United States,
according to an Interior Department
announcement, which added, how
ever, that the beds studied ARE
probably not rich enough TO have
present commercial value"
The tests We're undertaken under
the 100000 appropriation to inVesti-
gale domestic potash bearing lands
with view TO making this country
less dependent on foreign potash, and
the first core drilling operation took
place on public land in Eddy County,
New Mexico.
About so beds or groups of beds
containing per cent or more of
potash We're found between depths
of S3S to 1,170 feet. it was said. The
hole was 1.S47 feet. Fourteen beds
ranged in thickness from l inch to
feet > inches and i'll potash content
from $40 to 1917 per cent.
Polyhalite Most Abundant.
Polyhalite was the most abundant
potash bearing mineral found in the
cores, occurring in II Of the II beds.
Carnall lite. one of the principal pot
ash bearing minerals in the German
fields, was encountered in three of
the beds, marking the first time this
mineral has been noted IN samples
from the Texas New Mexico field.
Its occurrence in New Mexico III
definite beds, even though the thick
est shown in the core was only
inches, leads to the hope. IT was SAID,
that. as exploration progresses. beds
of minable thickness will be found.
Further examination of cuttings
from wells drilled for oil in potential
potash territory in the Southwest, the
department said. has shown potash
content in 20 wells in Texas ranging
from S.91 to 12.i0 per cent and in
3 wells in New Mexico from I'll
to 1041 per cent. The cuttings were
taken from wells in Crane. Crockett,
Ector. Martin. Upton and Winkler
counties. Texas. and from Eddy ana
Lea counties, New Mexico.
Refuse to Sign Contract.
Inasmuch as land owners or lessees
within l mile of the potash drill site
in New Mexico declined to sign a
contract, as provided in the potash
act, to reimburse the Government for
the expense of exploration. the two
were said to have been
automatically excluded from areas
where better showings had been in
dicated by drill cuttings
Under the conditions named, the
announcement said, lit is surprising
that the results obtained are as

Presidents POUer

James Buchanan, as fifteenth
president of the United States, oc-
Icupied the White House when the
question of slavery and states
rights were dangerously fermenting.
His administration, from 1857 to
fffl. saw the prelude TO the Civil
war.
Buchanan was born April %
1871. As Pennsylvania he dis
approved of slavery, but being a
strict constitutionalist and a demo
crat, he held to official convictions
He publicly denied the right of Sc
cession, and refused to treat South

delegates.
His chief difficulty was an un-
sympathetic congress.
The Dred Scott decision and John
Browns raid on Harper's Ferry Sc

ministration that those events some

Tracing Ancestry
Is All the Bunk Says
PdySOH TerIlune

Tracing ones ancestry is a rank
fallacy," declares Albert Payson
Terhune, who has Just completed a
years study of genealogical re-
search for the American Magazine
and is now attacking the growing
fad.
"ln the first place the people rea-
lize that perhaps millions of anceS-
tors, good and bad, have interviewed
between themselves and the illuStri-
GUS person from whom they claim
to have descended" ne says in sum-
ing up to his duties. Secondly,
several million other people, if they
took the trouble, could boost of the
same lineage. Thirdly. boaSting of
great ancestor is a confession. of
inferiority if the descendant has not
lived up to the repute of his fore
bear.
"The most common ancestral
claim" says Mr.. Terhune, illustrat-
ing the weakness of the average
case, "is relationship TO William the
Conquer. Simple arithmetic shows
these facts:
Science allows about thirty three
years to each generation. which
shows that there have been twenty
six of more generations between a
person living today and William the
Conquer, who was in his prime in
1906.
THE defendant had two parents,
! four grand parents, eight great
grand parents and so so. Continuing
to double twenty-six times, il will
show about forty million ancestors
since 1866. SO the defendant would
have only forty-millionth of the
Concueror'S time and earlier.
in all Great Britain an d France
in 1865 there were not forty million
/ people, SO if anyone has had forty
million ancestors since that date, he
is certainly descended from William.
Also he is descended from almost
every robber and homicide and
mendicant and genius and celebrity
who happened to be alive in the
ConfuerOr's time and earlier.
THE common fallacy is the result
of tracing one particular line and
ignoring a thousand other branches
of family. | know of one New
Englander who succeeded in tracing
his ancestry directly to Adam with
just as much accuracy as many have
traced theirs back to Charlemagn,
or other historical figures.
Another barrier to effectiv,
genealogical research is the ole
time system of family names, adopt
ed from residence or occupation
Thus John Hill. who lived ON hill
and John Church, who lived by tn
) church may have been the closes
relatives, yet their defendants go of
on wide tangents in tracing two
families"
IT is far better, says Mr. Terhune
TO degree: Il had no ancestors tC
boast of, but YOU can bet my des-
cendants are going TO have"
