COUNTY IN DRIVE
ON TUBERCULOSIS
Arlington Health Officer Out.
lines Plan for Separate
Clinics.
BY a stan Correspondent Of The Star.

BY a Sta n Correspondent Of The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va. October Having almost
obliterated diphtheria in the county
during the past four years. DR.. P. M.
Chichester, county health offcer. has
completed plans for drive against tu-
bcrculosis, he announced today.
The drive will start with series OF
clinics, which, with the exception of the
first. which will be held next Thursday
at the Clarendon Health Center, will be
held on the second Wednesday Of each
month, alternating among the three
health centers in the county.
DR.. H. A. Latane of Alexandria, who
has been holding the chest clinics. will
b. in charge of the tuberculosis clinics.
In explaining separate tuberculosis
clinics DR.. Chichester stated that it is
difficult to determine whether patient
has tuberculosis from the superficial
chest examination.
Arrangements have been made, he
explained, for X-ray pictures and tu-
berculin tests for all persons suspected
of having the disease.
The clinics are to be held especially
for children, in order that the presence
of the disease among them may be dis
covered at an early age and overcome
before it has had time to reach seri-
Gus stage. Adults will, however. be
given the benefit CT the clinics.
While it is not to be expected that
the results will be as startling as in the
prevention of diphtheria. DR.. Chiches-
ter said, it Is reasonable to believe that
the health department. with the CO.
operation OF the many physicians prac-
ticing in the county, can greatly curb
the disease.
1t will be the purpose of the health
department to find the cases. prevent
their spread and teach proper methods
of living. Actual treatment will be left
to other physicians.

Success as Farmer
 Aids Woman Banker

BONNEVILLE, Ark, Dec. 5.-The only woman bank president in Ar kansas, thinks that the simple rules of business she employed to make her farm success have helped her along in the banking business.
 Entering the business world at a time when woman's place generally was thought to be in the home, Mrs. Matte Edwards, head of the Farmers and Merchants National bank here, is regarded as one of the best bankers in the state.
 Widowed 30 years ago with three small children, Mrs. Edwards, now 60, assumed management of the Edwards farm near here. She made the farm pay dividends. In 1910, through a bank reorganization, she became assistant cashier and vice president. In 1921 she was chosen president, resigned in 1924 but was called back to the presidency year later.
