As result Of the discovery In
1882 Of the tubercle bacillus by
Robert Koch, q German physician,
medical science was able at that
time to begin its battle against tho
disease which once led all the rest
as the cause of death. In Connecti-
cut, the tuberculosis death rate has
been forced down from 274.6 people
per 100000 residents in rSS2 to
49.4 per 100000 In 1889, DR. Smith
said, but Notwithstanding this
achievement there still too many
tuberculosis deaths because most
people fall to realize the import
ance Of medical care early in the
course OF the disease.
DR. Smith explained that tuber-
culosis might be contracted and
develop into the advance stages
with little or perhaps no evidence
that II Is ut work. When the ris-
ease has progressed into the I'D.
vanced degree. months and even
years Of intensive treatment are
needed to effect q cure. II found
In the early stages, however, the
cure Is comparatively simple.
TO catch tuberculosis before II
becomes serious, the x-ray Is the
most efficient weapon. BY means OF

MYSTERY OF TWO
MURDERS MAY BE
SOON REVEALED
Fingerprints and Foot
prints Found Near Scene
of R0ckpOrt Crime

Rockport, Mass, Oct 2--(UP)-
Fingerprints found In the charred
cottage of Mrs Augusta johnson
will not only lead to her slayer but
also furnish q key to an 1s-month-
old unsolved murder mystery, au-
thorities believed today.
An autopsy performed on the
body of the 55-ycar-old widow last
night found death was caused by
blows from a heavy, sharp instru-
ment. Examination OF a clock IN
the bedroom Of the Pigeon Cove
cottage established that the fire,
with which the killer sought to
hide the Staying, stopped about 3
q. m. Police believed the murder
was committed about o. M, q FEW
hours after the woman had re-
turned from q Halloween party.
Solution Of the killing and burn
Ing Of the cottage, according to
District Attorney Hugh A. Gregg
and state detectives, would provide
o clue to the mysterious battering
TO death Of Arthur r. Oker, tailor
preacher, here q year and holf
ago.
Oker was president of the Swed-
ish Lutheran church at the mouse
Of whose pastor the woll-to-do wild.

on the eve Of her death.
Mrs johnson was tho widow OF q
stone. cutter who by frugal living
had saved a comfortable Compel
ence, according to village stand
ards. He died In 1882, leaving her
q small amount Of cash and three
houses.
While tho motive was not imme-
diately determined, authorities
worked on the theory that the kill
or had robbery as his object.
In addition to the flngerprints

Washington. Nov 2-(UP)--The
government was ready today &c
make It's first purchases of foreign
gold In order to weaken tho Amer.

Chairman Jones Of tho Recon.
struction Finance Corporation re-
vealed In an address last night tina,
tho federal reserve bank OF New
York had been authorized to dis
pose OF II. +. G. notes and take for.
oign gold In payment. This au.

bank of France for the purchase oil
francs, similar to ovortures recent.
" made to the bank of England In
respect to the pound.
The reserve bank will buy for
eign currency and exchange II fol
gold. This Is intended TO raise the
price OF gold and strengthen the
foreign currencies In terms OF the
dollar.
President Roosevelt is proceed
ing on the theory that this will re.
suit In higher commodity prices
here as the dollar weakcns abroad.
He has faith in the theory. 1t was
reiterated at the white House.
Cooperation of the French and
British banks would tend to sup
port an earlier White House state
ment' that interpretations of this
governments foreign gold pur-
chases as the beginning of an in
ternational currency depreciation
race were erroneous.
However, the White House spe-
officially denied that the foreign
gold purchases were discussed
when the president held LONG
conference with Sir Ronald Lind
say, British ambassador, and Sir
Frederick Leith-Ross, British wal
debt negotiator. 1t was said after
ward that only the debt was dis
cussed, and that these discussions
would be continued. Thus avoid
ing. for the time being at least, q
COLLAPSE of debt negotiations which
observers had foreseen as a pos
sible result of the current econ
