GOING neutrality-suspicious.

With the annual Christmas Seal
sale beginning in few weeks under
the auspices of the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association, it is especially
worthwhile to take look at the
records of the State Department of
Health, concerning that disease.
Very encouraging contrasts are re-
vealed. For some years, the rates
for deaths from tuberculosis have
been steadily going down. And by
rates" are meant the proportion of
deaths in each hundred thousand of
the total population.
Going back to the records of
thirty years ago, we find that in 1904
when there were 475,000 fewer peo-
pie living in the State than are in it
today, there were 2,915 deaths from
tuberculosis in Maryland, or 236 in
each hundred thousand of the total
population. Twenty years later
in 1924-there were 1,847 deaths
from tuberculosis in Maryland, or
121 in each hundred thousand.
Last year, 1888, when the popula-
ton of the State had reached total
of 1,6S9,190 there were 1876 deaths
from tuberculosis in Maryland, or 81
n each hundred thousand persons
living in the State. OF these deaths,
729 occurred in the counties, and
CAT in Baltimore City, giving rate
of IS per hundred thousand in the
counties and IS in Baltimore City.
These rates are the most favorable
that have ever been reached in this
State.
Speaking of the gradual decrease
in the deaths from tuberculosis, DR..
R. H. Riley Director of the State
Department of Health, said, eve
have come long way in the fight
against tuberculosis, in Maryland, as
the figures quoted above will show,
but we have a long way to go before
we can relax any of our efforts in the
warfare against this disease, which
still constitutes one of the greatest
problems in relation to community
health and well-being, which con-
front every health officer.
What we are trying to do now, is
to get at the disease when it is in
it's earliest stages, and when the
chances for arresting it are most
favorable.
"Clinics for the care and treat
ment of tuberculosis have been held
in Baltimore City, in connection with
hospitals and dispensaries, for over
a quarter of century. Since 1924,
similar clinics have been held
throughout the counties, under the
joint auspices of the State Depart
ment of Health and the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, with the
cooperation of the county medical
societies. The money derived from
the sale of the tuberculosis Christ
mas Seals makes these clinics pos
sible.
I'm the clinics, and in everything
else that is done now for the care or
prevention of tuberculosis, the aim
is not only to give all possible care
to those in whom the disease has de-
veloped, but to find those who have
been exposed to the disease or in
whom the disease is just starting.
Last year, 1S6 of these chest clinics
AS they are called-were held
throughout the counties. They were
attended by 1892 persons, the ma
jority if whom were referred 20 the
clinics by the attending physicians

sAvE-A-LIFE CAMPAIGN

The Sixth Annual Save-A-Life
Campaign comes this year az time
when fatal and other accidents on
the highways of the state are at a
more or less peak and should, there
fore, receive even greater co-opera-
ton from the public than during the
campaigns in the past, according 20
Colonel E. Austin Baughman, Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles The
campaign will extend over period
of one month starting November l
and ending November 81,
The Save-A-Life Campaign is
sponsored by the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles and is designed to
eliminate, through thorough inspec-
ton and repair, all of the mechan-
ical imperfections in motor vehicles
of the state.
cit is a fact" said Colonel Baugh-
man, "that about IL % of all motor
vehicle fatalities are caused by the
conditions of the highways; about
2SGo of the fatalities are caused by
faulty mechanism, and the remainder
are caused by the human equation.
obviously by constantly improv-
ing the state road system and remov-
ing sharp turns, improperly banked
turns, and other potential hazards
the 11% figure can be reduced. T.
is the aim and purpose of the Save
A-Life Campaign to reduce, if not
eliminate altogether, the $50 of the
fatalities caused by imperfect mech
anism through inspection. AS for
the human equation, no method has

The inspection of his car can be
forced by Maryland Law. But when
we start combating sleepiness at the
wheel, fast driving, drunkenness, and
other purely human factors we mus
depend on the attendant publicity to
impress upon the minds of the mo-
florists of the state the drastic need
for more careful driving.
Approximately 400 inspection
atoms have been appointed
throughout the state to carry on the
work of seeking out imperfections in
the vehicles of Maryland. Each of
The persons who do the actual inspec-
ton of the vehicles have been eau
toned to make thorough checks of
the steering, brakes, windshield
wiper, mufiier, discolored glass,
headlights and other safety factors.
An intensive campaign of publicity
has been launched which includes the
posting of billboards throughout the
state, radio talks and spot announce
ments over seven radio stations,
newspaper releases, motion picture
trailers and special publicity stunts.
When a satisfactory inspection of
motor vehicle has been made a
blue and white sticker will be pasted
on the windshield in the lower right
hand corner. These stickers can be
obtained only at an official inspec-
ton station, appointed by the Com
missioner Vehicles of the state

ton will be denied registration for.
the coming year and according to the
law, any vehicle failing to display
sticker of inspection approval after
the time limit of the campaign can
be denied the use of the highways
and thoroughfares of the state for
the balance of this year.

man concluded, sis designed to save
human lives on the highways of the
state and deserves the whole-hearted
cooperation of every motorist and

LOWER MARK

NEW YORK, Jan. 90. U.p) =
The American attack on the world
indoor mile record will be resumed
in dead earnest Saturday night
when Glenn Cunningham and Gene
Venzke revive their 1893 board
track feud in the Wanamaker mile
at Madison Square Garden.
The Wanamaker classic, feature
of the Millrose games, will be the
first of series of four big in
door races in which Cunningham,
Kansas flyer, and Venzke, tall,
stream-lined Pennsylvania sopho-
more, are to match strides.
Secretary Dan Ferris of the A.
A. U. believes that Venzke's world
mark of 4:10 for the indoor mile
will be lowered before the season
is over.
Venzke and Cunningham will
complete in the Wanamaker mile;
the Hunter mile of the Boston A.
A. meet; the Baxter mile of the
New York A. c. games, and in
the so-called Olympic mile" of
the National A. A. U. champion
ships which actually is 1900 meters.
If they fail to break the record
in the first two events, they may
be forced to do SO in their third
meeting, the Baxter mile, when
they are certain to be pressed, il
not beaten, by Bill Bonthorn of
Princeton. He is the chap who
forced Jack Lovelock of New Zea-
land to his sensational 4:076 out
door mark last summer.

Another method was to dump the
