BERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION AIMS
OFFENSIVE AGAINST DISEASE
Success of New Movement
Forecast by Achievements
in Past s Months.
Part of Fund Raised From
Sale of Seals Will Be
Used in Work.

A new offensive in WaShington'S
winning fight against tuberculosis is
planned for the coming year with part
of the funds raised from the sale Of
Christmas seals now in progress by the
local Association for the Prevention OF
tuberculosis. The success of the new
movement, supporters say, is forecast
by the results achieved in the past eight
months by the newly-organized chill
dren's tuberculosis clinic of the health
department. The clinic is stated and
financed by the association. under
medical direction of Dr. Viola Russell
Anderson, head of the child health
education department of the association.
In this connection it was announced
yesterday that 200, 900 seals had been
disposed Of toward the goal of 100000
necessary to finance the anti-tubercu-
losis campaign for another year.
1900 Visits Made.
DR.. Anderson, whose Offices are a.
the Social Service Home, 1922 Eleventh
street. said yesterday that 1900 visits
were made by the staff of the 'children's
clinic in the last eight months, and
that 500 childhood contact cases of
tuberculosis not previously suspected
were examined.
These are called contact cases. Dr.
Anderson said because they are either
living in close contact with tubercu-
lous child having the disease in COM
municable form or because there is in
the home some other person having
tuberculosis in a catching form. One
of the first steps in our work is to have
these contact cases examined. Half of
the children who, upon this eXamina-
ton in the past few months. have been
found to have a tuberculosis infection
have been brought into the clinic by
our workers"
DR.. Anderson explained her workers
have access to the families of the chill
dren sent to the health camp conducted
by the association during the Summer
and that various other families are re-
ferred to the clinic by the general clinic
of the health department and by other
social agencies as we'll as by the Tuber
culosis Hospital.
Examination Need Stressed.
"The initial visit of one of our
workers to one of these families re-
veals not only contact cases but starts
the educational program for that fam
lily. Need for an immediate physical
examination for all contact cases is
stressed and also the necessity there
after for adequate and continuous
medical supervision If there is an
open case of pulmonary tuberculosis
living in or visiting the home of the
family under consideration, plan is
made which will help to protect the
children in that home from exposure.
In later visits proper health habits are
stressed, with emphasis on rest, sleep
and diet
THE health regime of these children
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-12-15

is emphasized as of prime Importance.
The essentials are plenty of rest and
food which is high in its growth-pro-
noting and resistance maintaining pow
erS. We explain that plenty of rest
means more than enough sleep. 1t
means that the child must not become
overtired from too much play activity
or too much excitement. These essen
tials have been taught in the schools
in the past as part of the weighing
and measuring activities. But carrying
the health program into the homes of
this group of children inSures applica-
ton of the essentials to the care of the
particular child. This means. among
other things, also parental education.
Families Visited Monthly.
"All families where there are known
contact cases are visited monthly or
oftener by our staff, if the need exists.
In the month of November, sci home
visits were thus made and the number
of childhood tuberculosis cases we are
working with was SOB on December J..
The list is constantly growing"
Dr. Anderson said that las soon as
public funds become available the chill
dren's clinic will become a part of the
District Health Department. where it
properly DeIOUSS. one dQQeQ CfldI uIlJll
funds are available I'VE must carry on
this method of attack on childhood
tuberculosis, for when we discover the
tuberculosis infection at it's beginning
or better yet, when we prevent the child
from contracting the infection-then We
are controlling the disease at its source"
Field Secretary Coming.
Arthur J. Strawson, field secretary of
the National tuberculosis Association
New York City, will come here January
to act as conSultant to the local tuber-
culosis association pending the selection
of a new executive to succeed Walter
S. Ufford, who recently resigned as sec
rotary in order to devote his whole time
to the work of the Associated Charities,
it was announced yesterday by Dr.
George NJ. Kober, president of the
Washington tuberculosis Association.
Mr. Strawson, it was said, comes with
wide range of experience as the adj
visor of State and city associations en-
gagged in tuberculosis work and in enab-
ling them to make their work more eff
fective.

ance of hostilities by the Russians was
sent by a Rengo news agency cor
respondent from a train bearing con-
sular officials of Japan, the United
States. Great Britain, France and Ger
many toward the Russian occupied

not guarantee the safety of those aboard
the train if they proceeded beyond
Mientuho.

FAMOUS BOWERY
THEATER BURNS
Cradle of American Stage
Destroyed in New York.

NEW YORK, June 6.-The old
Bowery theater, where once Booth,
Forrest and Gilbert played, was de-
stroyed Wednesday by a spectacular
fire that could be seen over a wide
area in Manhattan, Brooklyn and
New Jersey.
With the passing of this decrepit
structure, New York loses one Of its
most historic lank marks, for the
theater had been devoted to the
drama for more than 100 years.

all American actors and actresses of
the early nineteenth century.
Once called the Thalia theater,
the old Bowery institution was
known in recent times as the Chi

When the four alarm fire was
