HEALTH TO ALL

Good old Santa Claus is bach .~.ir
with load OF Christmas Tuberculosis
Seals, wishing Health to All The
seals will be on sale under The aus
pieces of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association, between Thanksgiving
Day and Christmas, and until the end
OF the year-an appropriate time as
everybody realizes who thinks back
to the time when these littls messengers
of health and hope we're first used,
nearly quarter of century ago, in
the fight against the disease that has
taken such heavy toll of precious
lives.
THE fight against tuberculosis start
ed over fifty years ago." DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart.
ment of Health said in calling atten.
ton to the opening of the Christmas
seal sale and in urging every Mary
lander 70 buy generously of them. at
has kept up steadily ever since" he
continued. Twenty five years ago,
tuberculosis was responsible for one
death out of every eight. Last year,
it was the cause of one death in every
thirteen. For many years tuberculosis
led all diseases as cause of death.
As a result of the combined attacks
against it, it has gradually been
brought down to fourth or fifth place,
with diseases of the heart, or of the
kidneys, and cancer, taking the lead
ing places.
The Christmas seals have helped
to bring this about, because the money
derived from their sale has been used
to show people how to prevent the di.
sease by right living, with attention to
the rules of health, the value of sun
shine and fresh air, wholesome food,
and healthy exercise, and by the early
recognition of dangerous symptoms
and prompt care
Free chest clinics financed throu. h
the sale of the Christmas seals. were
started in the counties under the Joint
auspices of the State Department of
Health and the Maryland Tuberculosis
Association, in 1924. In the seven
years since then, q, 900 persons, an
average of 5000 each year, have been
examined and many cases in the early
stages of the disease have been
found and helpful treatment has been
started.
Precautionary building up re-
sistance to disease through wholesome
food, sunshine, fresh air, plenty sleep
and good care has been the motive
underlying the work for children and
young women, during the summer and
fall at the Preventorium at Claiboune.
the Miracle House, as it is called
because of what 1t has accomplished,
These are some of the things the
Christmas seals have made possible.
So, buy your share early, and then
buy another share, remembering that
every seal you buy helps 10 make real
its message OF Health 10 ALL"

sun glass and field glass. The com
pass was of no value. The throwing
away of the sack of provisions as well
rs the dangers encountered by noun
tain peaks were also tests of this cour-
age. But courage was rewarded, for
it was momentous occasion when
Commander Byrd threw over the
South pole the American flag weight
ed down with stone taken from the
grave of the man in whose honor the
airplane was named.
1t was very happy and significant
fact that no lives were lost on the ex-
pediion. Every man, got home safely.
Commander Byrd speaks of these re-
suits in very modest way, giving
credit for the success of the under.
taking to his men and his profound
gratitude to Proyidence-credit where
credit is due.
Now that the South pole problem
has just been solved, doubtless the
next great adventure will be an at
tempt to delve more deeply into the
nature of the stars. A plane has been
made in Germany capable of speed
Of 95 miles per hour driven by powder
rockets. A German scientist (Gott,
lieb Esnenlaub) recently made aerial
flight using three rockets, each burn
ing six seconds. Might it not be pos.
sible to invent an apparatus capable
Of recording definite facts; to be pro
jected on these rockets into the plan
cts of our own solar systems? Are
any of these plants inhabited? If so,
would communication ever be pos
sible?
Nothing seems Impossible of accom-
plishment when the human mind can
command the most exact scientific
data, the spirit of the adventurer, and
last hut doubtless the most important
of all-the courage, bravery and forth
tude of men who have learned how ID
endure.

STEEL INDUSTRY
GROWING MORE
CHEERFUL

Growing feeling that the steel
industry had seen the worst for
the year was indicated In today's
Iron Age survey. Cheered by the
squirt in tin plate demand, greater
takings by road machinery manu-.
facturers and the hardening In
prices, steel men looked forward
to the autumn with renewed
hope. Ingot production for the
country at large was slightly
higher at 54 per cent as compared
with 50 per cent last week and So
per cent two weeks ago. The
survey follows:
Business in iron and steel has
shown only q slight change for
the better, but sentiment in the
trade, though chaste1ed by the
protracted depression, Is cautious
~ more hopeful. The passing Of
pessimiSm m engendered by the
drought, scattered evidences of
greater interest on the part of
steel buyers and additional ad-
vances in scrap prices are among
the factors that are influencing
current appraisals of the future.
It is true that the industry, in It's
present conservative mood, can
see little chance for marked
recovery In business this year.
but there is growing adherence to
the belief that the Autumn
months will at least bring some
measure Of seasonal improvement.
In view of the inconsequential
change in actual mill bookings,
no general upturn In steel plant
operations is yet manifest, but
gains exceed declines and average
ingot output for the country al
large has risen to 81 per cent,
compared with SO per cent fort
night ago.

Prices of finished steel have

ginning to think in terms of

consumers are attempting to close

tions. Mills, on the other hand,
are reluctant to obligate them
selves beyond the end of the
quarter, and at least one producer
has notified customers that it
will advance prices on bars,
shapes and plates September Is.
Good Structural Demand
Road machinery manufacturers
are also reported to be taking
more steel. and business from the
oil and gas industry is holding
up.
The Iron Age composite price
for finished steel fell to 2.142c a
pound from 215c last week. The
pig iron composite. price remains
at $16.88 gross ton.

A strong market with some
profit taking was predicted in
