1856 TUBERCULOSIS
VICTIMS IN COUNTY

One hundred fifty-fve Redwood
county men, women and children
have been killed by tuberculosis dur
ing the last % years. In the same
period nearly $4,000 deaths from this
disease have been reported through
out Minnesota. These facts are con-
tanned in Christmas Seal bulletin
issued by the Minnesota Public
Health association in connection with
the seal drive now in progress.
With more than 100 Tuberculosis
deaths occurring in the state for the
year 1888 alone, the actual death
rate has decreased slightly from the
previous year. Deaths reported in
1888 were 1908 as compared with
1,049 in 1882.
Minnesota has maintained it's
place in the nation as eighth lowest
in the number of deaths per popula-
ton, according to report issued by
the National tuberculosis associa-
ton. Arizona has the highest death
rate of any state with 1868 per 1O0,-
600 population which is a decrease
from the states showing for 1882 of
$50, per 100000. Minnesota had 1877
last year compared with 40.8 per
100000 in 1882.
While the percentage of deaths
from this plague has decreased re-
markably during the past years, it is
still a leading cause of death be-
tween the ages of Is and As, the bull
letin shows. A constant battle
against the disease has been waged
in every state and county including
a program of public health, nursing,
tuberculin testing, clinics for school
children, and health education for
both children and adults, all carried
on by funds from the annual sale OF
Christmas Seals.

the board OF the first.
People at the bank and the as
ISOLATION are planning to do
great things for Mr.. Edison when
his birthday rolls around.
They remember, and most other
Washingtonians do, that Mr..
Edison has a tremendous vitality.
Several years ago he was struck
down by an automobile and when
taken to a hospital all physicians
gave him up as dead.
Mr.. Edison, however, came back
with a tremendous rebound and
two weeks afterwards walked out
Of the hospital, his head still
bandaged.
With that in the background,
everyone expects and hopes that
Mr.. Edison will enjoy many, many
more birthdays.
In event you do not know Just
who he is it's called to mind that
he was in the Civil War, after
wards q Treasury Department en-
ploye and later was admitted to
the District of Columbia bar.
For a time after that, Mr.. Ed
son practiced patent law; then he
organized the building association.
That was In 1879, and that COM
pany is still going strong with
assets Of more than $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Edison repeatedly has re-
fused honorS which various Presi-
dents have sought to bestow upon
him. He feels, so people intimate
with him say, that the most sig
nal honor in his career came
about in 1921. He was rs years
old then, and residents Of Wash
ington gave him q banquet.
These tricky new automatic
boards, which four Of the local
brokerage establishments have in
stalled, balk on dust. II they are
operating and someone's sweeping
the floor, it's just too bad. The
board stops.
At E. A. Pierce & Company,
Thomas w. Brahany, manager,
has looked the situation over.
He's decided that regardless Of
how dirty the floor gets during
the course Of the days trading,
theren be no effort to clean up.
Says Mr.. Brahany:
"Sure we want to keep our
shop meticulOus in appearance
when we can, but If it's going
to throw the board off every
time We sweep the floor we
won't do it for the time being"
The Pierce company, like all the
other offices where the new boards
have been installed, is undergoing
O lot of notifications.
At Clark, Childs g. Keech the
new board necessitated an entire
change in the set-up Of telephones.
The result, George A, Garrett, resi-
dent manager, and John Caswell,
jr., manager, have been moving
furniture. Imagine that?
Michael F. Calnan, vice presi.
dent and cashier Of Liberty Ma
tional Bank, is one Of the men,
h0rs Of the Early Birds Club. He's
50 enthusiastic he does not miss
o single meeting.
The breakfast, weekly, is SEIZED
uled for o'clock-Mr. Calnan is
there. He's one of the few Wash
tngton bankers who arise at that
hour, except Avon Nevius, of the
Riggs National Bank, who likes to
get up in the morning and do a
trek.
Frank Morse, of Charles D.
Barney & Co., and incidentally
one of the best fellows in the local
financial field, thinks that we are
trying to put him on the spot.
Mr. Morse is president of the
Bond Club of Washington. After
that recent Ticker Club party, the
Bond boys are Fostering him.
He, however, says that there
will be no party now. That's
final.

FOR SAVING PLANE
Commerce Bureau Operator at

Oficial commendation of the pres

F. Haviland, radio operator at the
Bureau of Air Commerce airways
radio station at Charleston, S. c.,
credited with having saved an airmail
plane which was fogbound and run
ming out of fuel, was expressed in
letter sent him today by Rex Martin,

The plane Haviland was instru-
mental in saving was carrying the
mail south from Washington in the

r. K. Smith. Smith had battled
headwinds which exhausted his fuel
supply and, when a dense fog bank
swept In at Charleston he did not
have fuel enough to go on to Sa-
vannah, Ga, or return to Flor
ence, S. c.
Haviland, by radio. attempted to
lead the pilot to landing through
the fog, without success. Haviland
then telephoned the navy yard field,
four miles away, and found it clear
of fog. He told Smith how to reach
the yard and warned him of obstruc-
tions in the vicinity Although no air.
line planes ever had landed there,
Smith was able, by Haviland's in
structions, to locate the field and make
o safe landing.
