From Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

U. S. Recruits Found Suffering
From Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
By Science Service
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept 28.--
The advisability of a general x-ray
chest survey of United States Army
recruits was discussed by DR..
Charles L. Maxwell of Washington
D. c., at the meeting of the Amerl
can Roentgen Ray Society here to-
day. The discussion was based OIL
an analysis of the latest fifty cases
of pulmonary tuberculosis admitted
to FitzSimonS General Hospital.
Denver, in recruits of the United
States Army with less than one
years service at the time diagnoses
of tuberculosis were made on them
At the same session DR.. Ralph h.
Kinsella of st. Louis, outlined a
plan for having X-ray pictures
made of the chests of all patients
admitted to the medical service of
hospitals. The cast to hospital and
patient, objections to the plan and
beneficial results, such as diScov-
ering unsuspected cases off tuber-
culosiS, were discussed by DR.. Kin

that she could not swim, when the
six-feet-deep cold water closed over
her head.
Afterward she told Tony how
amazingly clear her mind was as she
sank.
"As went under 1 thought, I'd
rather die any other way than by
drowning, because I'd look such a
sight-wet and draggled, with the
curl all out of my hair
"And then I prayed: Please God,
let Dick Talbot save me from
drowning. Maybe he'll like me better
if he saves my life But, oh, Tony,
it was awful-that terrible choking
and fioundering, with no bottom to
touch"
The first time Crystal rose to the
surface she screamed, a Shrill, raSp-
ing scream that seemed to tear off
the top of her head. And, just as she
sank the second time, strong hands
grasped at her, caught her, hands
which she Historically tried to fight
off"

When Tony and Crystal ran down
to the locker rooms to change from
evening dress to bathing suits they
were both a little relieved to find six
or eight other girls engaged in the
same way.
Lets hurry" Tony tossed over
her shoulder, as she twirled the dial
of her locker. Believe I'll wear my
blue and white suit. The little fan
mel shorts make me feel so Swag-
ger.
"Oh, your suits lovely, Crys. You'll
look gorgeous in that emerald green.
And green cap with a big yellow
sunf1ower! Be sure to tuck in your
marcel. Want some of my water
proof lip rouge? There in my van
ity. Don't you wish you knew?"
she broke off to call banteringly in
answer to question from one of
the other girls. isn't he sweet?
Name of Harry Blaine, but no
poaching, girls. And you're all too
late, anyway. He's already got a
crush on Crystal. This vamp steals
all my beaux," she shouted joy
ouSly.
"You were just kidding about
Harry Blaine's liking me, weren't
you, Tony?" Crystal painted in a
low voice.
mot bit of til" Tony denied.
HE wanted to know if you'd be
likely to give him a date. He's a
lamb, really-clever, too. You don't
need to be afraid to admit to him
that you read Cabell and Havelock
Ellis.
Hes guilty of the same highbrow
offense Hail, gents! On your
knees! The bathing queens are
coming!" she sang out as they
neared the pool, on the rim of
which half dozen young men were
sitting, their bare legs dangling in
the water.
Harry Blaine, minus his spec
tacleS and looking extremely tall
and lean in a very short black suit,
sprang to his feet and came to
meet them, but Dick Talbot re-
mained insolently seated.
Race you for the springboard,
Harry!" Tony challenged, and was
off, the man loping long-leggedly
after her.
Crystal, miserably oppressed by
the knowledge that she could not
swim, and by Dicks somber ignor-
ing of her, hesitated for long,
agonizing minute, then, fortified by
the knowledge that her legs and
arms looked as white as marble in
the moonlight, she took her seat
beside Dick Talbot on the concrete
rim of the pool, squealing as her
bare feet plunged into the cold
water.
Dick was not paying the slightest
attention to her. His scowling eyes
were following Tony's beautiful, slim
body as it reached the springboard
bounced and shot into the water.
Come onl" he commanded sharp

looking at her, for his eyes were

TWO weeks after Sybil left the

she admitted. But this is some

She bought a christening robe
two yards long, and borrowed a
silver brazier for a font. Craig

with Jack Moore.
1t was an evening when Valerie
was playing bridge, and Mrs. Thorne
had gone to church.
Sybil wore a brief little dress
of Woodsy green, with violets at
her waist. And the baby, over his
baptiSmal gown, wore daisy
chain.
Mabel held him, and Sybil, Dip

sprinkled his fuzzy little head.
"I baptize thee," she cried,

COLUMBIA, Pa, Sept. 28.-
The bee sat on the pretzel, held
in Miss Marie's hand. She put
the pretzel in her mouth and it
stung to beat the band.
All this came to pass when
Marie Banner held a bunch of
flowers in one hand and a
thirst-producer in the other.
In between bites a honey
bee quit his perch on a flower
and proceeded to sample the
pretzel-without Marie's knowl-

And he waved his little arms, and
smiled his first small smile, and
cooed in triumph. Sybil caught him
to her and kissed him wildly.

reverently.
Then they passed him around,
and each of them, like fairies at a
christening, made a wish for him.
Luck, and love and gold-until
Craig handed him back to Sybil and
she cried, like the bad witch in an
Irish fairy tale. bad cess to your

Letters urging Washington resi-

sums daily, were mailed today by
Louis Rothschild, director of the
Better Business Bureau.
The communications pointed espe-
cially TO reports that some sales

switching game. Rothschild referred
tn that scheme as lone of the
oldest and most reprehensibie forrn;
of financial trickery."
He explained that in one Of the
MANY instances that have come to
his attention a salesman sold a
washington woman a bond fot

The salesman involved in thl:
and other similar cases was inter

was motivated by commission h
collected with each transfer. Fur
