The general remarked reVerently:

Roughly. before the armi1icc
stopped the fighting, American sol
diers had been scattered, during 10
months. along $50 miles of the French
front from Belgium TO Alsace. The
men need nobody 10 tell them where

But it is interesting TO remember who
the Americans Were-that is to say,
from what part of our own country
came those who fought in each sector.
The very first division called into
action soon gave name to the
"American Sector" Ii was north

AS soon as they had the lie Of the

swift-moving picture mind of Erich

cidentally Pommer seeks to discourage
this new talk of camera angles as

''The camera is doing its duty well

"a person is entering a room. Put
the camera in that persons place and

Is your kitchen bright and sunny
a cheerful place TO work? Do you like
the view from the window, or would
you rather shut it out? Is the room
easy to ventiIate? Or does it present
such problems as the shadow cast by
an overhanging porch roof, or the too
close proximity Of your next-door
neighbor's entry, or a northern expo
sure, seldom visited by the sun? The
question OF curtains for the Kitchen
If one decides to curtain it at all
hinges on such points as these.
You are tempted to have curtains OF
some sort because they add a note Of
cheerfulness and gayety that somehow
makes the work seem easier. Any
type Of curtain you select will need
fairly frequent laundering because
cookery tends TO saturate draperies
with greasy steam. Sturdy, washable
materials are therefore best. In max
ing up the curtains it is well to run
in a tuck near the upper casing to al
low for shrinkage. Good fabrics to
use are unbleached muslin. Bingham,
glass toweling, English prints or Jap
anese crepe. Curtains made Of any OF
these may be hung at the sides Of the
window only. or arranged TO draw

Milk From Other States.
Some states, of which Florida Is a
typical example, receive large guam
titles of milk from other states. Flor

risdiction of local inspectors. In sew
eral small towns tuberculin testing Of
cattle is conducted In response to
demand of patrons, though no official
ordinance requires such tests.
These sidelights appear to show the
strength of public opinion and the ex-
tent to which milk consumers demand
safety with respect to their milk sup
plies The condition appears to be
especially true In states to which tour
lists and homeseekers go for their
health.
Several states have issued educa-
tional literature dealing with bovine
tuberculosis, the evidence of transmits
sion to human beings, plans for eradi-
cation, and laws and regulations for
suppressing the disease.
Besides this means Of stimulating in

state officials have drafted sample
milk ordinances based on successful
ordinances elsewhere. In these are
embodied effective and practical pro-
visions for dealing with the tubercu-
losis problem.

action than others, but evidence Is
abundant that city fathers" are be-
coming more and more concerned in

Ordinances Are Adopted in
Many Towns Demanding
Tuberculin Test.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Extensive interest of cities in the
nationwide campaign against tuber-
c1losis Of live stock is seen in results
OF survey recently conducted by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. A total of S74 cities and towns
have ordinances requiring the tuber-
culin testing of cattle furnishing milk
for consumption. Official reports indi-
cate that with the exception of about 1
per cent the ordinances are fairly well
eaforced.
The action Of such cities as Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit and Louisville, in
promulgating tuberculin-test require
ments has stimulated recent interest
in this subject. The survey showed.
however, that the smaller communities
also are fully as active in safeguard
Ing their milk supplies.
Steps Taken to Safeguard.
In addition to the s74 cities having
tuberculin-test ordinances, 735 pro-
vide an option between tuberculin test
Ing and pasturiZation. Thus a total
Of 1.249 municipalities have taken
steps TO safeguard their milk supplies
from possibility Of disease transmits
sion.
Fourteen states also have enacted
laws or have issued regulations au-
thorized by law requiring the tuber-
culin testing Of cattle. Though vary
Ing in details, the laws have the same
general purpose-to safeguard the
Wholesomeness Of milk supplies. In
all cases tuberculin tests must be ap-
piled by approved graduate veteri-
narians.
As basis for skilled tuberculin
testing in which the public may have
confidence, the federal and state vet
Urinary officials have prepared lists OF
accredited" and approved veteri-
narians. These terms apply to private
practitioners who have satisfied fed
eral and state authorities as to their
qualifications
Forms of Supervision.
An examination of the forms of SUI
pervisiOn over the tuberculin testing
of cattle supplying cities with milk
shows the large extent to which cities
have accepted the so-called uniform
plan Of drinking. This plan provides
federal and state indemRitfes for cat
tie which prove to be tuberculous and
which are removed from the herd and
slaughtered. The plan Is followed by
ga cities. Cities that rely on mu-
nicipal inspection alone number 49S,
while III other cities and towns use
combination of the two safeguards
or make some other provision for tu-
berculin testing.
A study of reports from the various
states explains the rather general
adoption of pasteurization as an addi-
tiOnal safeguard even when the cattle
are tuberculin tested. Proper pas
teurization, as is well known, destroys
any infection from other disease-pro-
