VETERANS BUREAU
REPORT SUBMITTED
Half of Deaths of Veterans in
Hospitals in 1927 Caused
by tuberculosis.

More veterans in Government hospi-
tails are dying from tuberculosis than
from any other cause, about half of the
total deaths for the past year being
from this disease, according to the
annual report of Director Frank T.
Hines of the United States Veterans
Bureau, made public today.
Deaths from tuberculosis during the
past year totaled 1923. or SO per cent
of the total deaths in all hospitals dur
ing the period. The large group of
general medical and surgical patients
stood second in number of deaths, with
Ala, or 80 per cent.
Organic diseases of the heart caused
deaths which increased from SO, or
1892 per cent of the total deaths in
1924, to 318, or 8.3 per cent, in 1928.
Deaths from cancer and other malig-
nant tumors are on the increase, Gen.
Hines said. advancing from 55 in 1924
to 220 in 1923.
Diseases of the respiratory system
exclusive of tuberculosis, and diseases
of the digestive system as causes of
death are rapidly increasing, having
more than doubled since 1924. The
number of deaths from Brights dis
ease continues to mount in the same
manner as those from cerebral hem
orrhageS, which Is attributed to the ad-
missions for treatment in large num-
bers of Spanish-American War veter-
ans, whose average age is much higher
than that of the World War veterans.
The general activities of the bureau
were increased during the past fiscal
year, Gen. Hines explained, by the
emergency officers retirement act.
During the year." he said, much at
tention has been given to the improve
ment of the administrative procedure
dealing with existing laws. and the de-
velopment of medical program to the
end that the physical Improvement OF
bureau benef1ciaries may be carried out
to a greater degree, to eXpediting and
and to the continuation of the policy of
dealing sympathetically and generous
ly in all matters of veterans relief"
Gen. Hines reiterated his recently an
nounced proposal that there be estab-
lished a separate department to handle
all matters affecting the extension of
direct benefits to veterans and to the
dependents of veterans. He said he
would vigorously support any legisla-
ton that has for its object this uni
fled plan of control"
Gen. Hines also said he was deep
ly interested in the question of en-
ployment of veterans" adding that
this responsibility should be vested in
the Veterans Bureau alone instead of
being divided as at present" Legisla-
ton would be necessary to do this, he
said, explaining. steps will be taken to

AMERICAN TOBACCO COMP ANY AGAIN
 INCREASES G AIN

NEW YORK, May S--For the year 1927, the annual report of The American Tobacco Company, just issued, shows a net profit of $23,309, ,GS9.16, or an increase of S76C, C,594.93. The year 1926 was, up 10 that time, the banner year in profit.
 It has been generally known that many of The American To baeeo Company brands, particular ly the brand Lucky Strike Gig arettes, have shown a large in- crease in sales during the year 1927, and it has been known also that very large increased amounts have been spent by The American Tobacco Company in advertising. The total earnings on the Com mon Stock of The American To bacco Company (S50.O0 par value) were, in 1927, S1029 per share as against $990 in 1926, thus carry ing. after the payment of $500 per share of dividends, $4,472,- 964.87 as an addition to surplus. The surplus at the end of 1926 was $34,94S, ,27640, and this addi- ton brings it up to $39.421,241.27 at the end of 1927.
 The statement reflects very strong position in cash and quick assets.
 The stock of Leaf Tobacco, Man. ufactured Stock, Operating Sup plies, etc, at cost, is SS5.S20,- S29.72 as against S72,764,2S2.S6 at the end of 1926, thus reflecting large increase in Operating Sup plies necessitated by the increas- ed volume of business. Notwith- standing this addition of more than ,000,000.00 to Operating Supplies, the Cash has decreased less than $2.000, 100000, or from SIG. 6.450,19O. at the end of 1926, to $14,759,972 at the end of 1927.

PhNSI0N OF PANAMA FIELD
 NOW PLANNED

CRISTORAL. Panama, May & A minimum expenditure in the near future of $5.0O0,o60 on avia- ton Improvements in Panama, to safeguard the Panama Canal from attack by any enemy from air or water, is foreseen by military au- thorities here since the flight of Assistant Secretary of War F. Trubee Davison and Gen. James C. Fechet from Washington.
 Of foremost concern is the de- velopment of Albrook Field. which before Uncle Sam came to Pana- ma was a boggy swamp. When completed it is to have five mod ern hangars. a runway 4,400 feet long and 1900 feet wide and ac- commodations for 1,500 persons, including families of enlisted men and officers.
 Air forces on the I5thmus now are practically all on the Atlantic side, which boasts of France Field, the armys, and the Coco Solo naval air base Equalization of the air bases would be partially achieved by development of Al brock Field, on the Pacific side.
 The United States also intends to spend between $2,000,000 and S3,000,000 on the Coco Solo naval air base, dredging a small bay, filling in land near France Field and extending a sea wall which provides calm water landing space for scaplanes.

Fifty-eight Women
 Now College Heads

WASHINGTON, May S-One hundred percent increase in the number of women college presi- dents in the past 12 years has been noted by the United States Bureau of Education. In its new educational directory, the bureau lists 57 women college and uni versity presidents in office in 1928.
 The directory for 12 years ago lists but "A women college ex- ecutives and most of them were heads of women's seminaries and finishing schools that gave a col lege degree. Almost .all the large Eastern women's collges now are presided over by women execu- tives.
 This years list shows that there are seven women in the position of state superintendent of public instruction, 40 who are city superintendents of schools and 900 who are county or dis trict superintendents of schools. The number of women county superintendents has doubled in the past 12 years. There is only one State that does not have at least one woman school execu- tive.
 There is one woman head of a division of the Bureau of Educa- tion, one who heads a law school and one a school of medicine.
 While many of the schools of theology, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine have women on their faculties, none has a woman as chief executive.
