TO C.. W. Il. CUTS AID
FOR SOME ON RELIEF ROLLS

to take the work home and thus only
required to pay two car fares per week.
Under the old relief system the
amount of work each woman was given
was based on the number of depend
ents she was supporting and on other
factors. Thus, women with large fam
lilies in many cases received more than
the SO which they now get. The change
to the G. w. A. has also had the erect
of increasing the compensation paid to
those with few dependents.
When the case was put up to Com
missioner Allen today, he Immediately
got in touch with Federal authorities
and received permission to take care of
the worst cases temporarily until the
question can be permanently solved.
The women transferred from the re-
lief to the c. w. A. rolls cannot now
receive any money for relief In addition
to their pay from the c. w. A., since
relief is supposed to be available only to
those without jobs. It is understood
that this rule will be temporarily sus-
pended

The present status is that the star

Mr.. Lanham is curious to see II the

elsewhere, Mr. Lanham said today, just
swing old telephone books over their

ON SALE OF SEALS
Permanent Equipment and
Services in tuberculosis

Permanent equipment and services
needed for curtailment and prevention
of tuberculosis in connection with the
opening of the annual Christmas Seal
sale were discussed in a radio address
last night by DR.. William Charles
White. president of the District Tuber-
culosis Association and chairman of
the Research Committee of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association.
The three main features needed for
control of tuberculosis he outlined as
follows:
"A One public health nurse to every
1000 individuals A public health
nurse is able to advise each family
IN which tuberculosis may occur on
how to protect other members of the
family what curative measures should
be inaugurated for the family, how to
use their budget, the kind of food to

tuberculosis so that the statistical
knowledge OF the community is COM
plete, she provides for the examina-
ton of contacts for the problem OF
finding early cases and she acts as the
unit building stone of complete public
health and welfare knowledge.
b. One or more dispensary services
for each 250,OOO population manned
by physicians who understand the
problems of tuberculosis, its diagnosis
measures for obtaining cure, protec-
ton of other members Of the family
and examination Of contacts. In larger
communities these clinics should be
supplemented by sitting clinics. which
will make the preliminary examination
on request Of the visiting nurse, by
appointment with the physician. This
has two distinct advantages. 1t con-
serves the physicians time in his con-
tribution to the public welfare and il
conserves the time of the family mem
bers, wedding out those who require
more especial care from those who re-
Quire no care.
&C. A sufficient number of hospita
beds usually reckoned at one per
death from tuberculosis m the com

possible. a part of the general hospital
equipment of the community. so that
physicians and nurses are in daily CON
tact with the methods of treatmen'
and prevention In the control Of thi:

GOOD NEWS

Here is a piece Of excellent news for
Utah, Arizona, Nevada and other
mining states: The price Of copper,
which has shown firmness Of late, il
expected to rise appreciably in the
near future.
Knowing persons will translate
that into jobs, employment, purchas-
ing power. In a number of states, in
days gone by, the copper mines were
"the" industry. They provided most
Of the jobs and paid the bulk Of taxes.
The storekeeper, the banker, the
farmer, the salesman-directly or in
directly, copper controlled his eco
nomic destiny And the influence was
felt far beyond the borders Of the
mining states, in every business in
the land
Copper is coming back, and it may
not be long before the mines are
again. That's worth locking
forward to.
