NEED MORE FUNDS FOR
TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL
[cOHtiun<d from Firm Pssrl

CoHfiEnSd from Firm Psasl
little more than a decade the annual
death rate had fallen to about two
thirds its first figure. But since 1890
the improvement has been slowed,
despite the fact that other states are
attaining new lows and the national
loss continues to lessen.
There is a crying need for addi-
tional beds in the State Sanatoria at
Brandywin and EdgewOod, respec-
lively. For some months now there
have been fifty to seventy persons
on the waiting lists of the two san
atoria, which are filled to capacity
with one hundred and fifty patients" q"
Sufficient construction should be
undertaken to provide beds for all
on these waiting lists. 1t is our
hope to secure sufficient funds from
the next Legislature to make pos
sible this increase"
The extreme danger to other mem
bers of the family. who are almost
certain to contract the disease un-
less scrupulOus care is exercised, is
given by DR.. JOst as the reason for
his desire that patients be cared for
in a hospital and not in a home.
Since treatment early in the dis
ease is essential" he also said. the
delay occasioned by the patients
waiting for his turn on the list may
prevent complete cure, or have even
more serious results. 1t is our hope
that the next Legislature will real
ize the crying need for this en-
largement, and appropriate the nee
essary fund"

Saturday was an eventful day
for the Girl Reserves. At seven
o'clock, with the bus belonging
to John Annette waiting for
them, they came in all direc-
tions, waiting to be off for a
sightseeing trip. Their first
stopping place was Washing
toms Headquarters at Valley
Forge. They all were much in
terested in the priceless things
that are to be seen by all visit
ors. After observing most ev-
erything there, they went to The
Memorial Chapel, and it was the
Girl Reserves lucky day, for
they were invited to be wit
nesses at a wedding, which was
thrilling to everyone of them.
The Park, with all of the inter
esting landmarks were all visit
ed before lunch, which the girls
had taken along. Time came for
the trip to be turning south and
the Longwood Gardens were
visited. They were never more
beautiful, with chrysanthemums
of every hue and size. Luck was
still with the girls for the grand
organ was being played. The
movies in Wilmington, where
they saw "The Pursuit of Hap
piness" and the trip home
brought to a close a day which
will stand out as a special"
one in the memory of Girl Re-
serves. The concern of Mr.. An
nette for the comfort and pleas
ure of the girls is always appre-
ciated by them, and the trips
are made safe and enjoyable by
him taking them. Those who
went were Anna Adams, Jean

thing is being made
yA \ ready for the nation
~ al Thanksgiving Day.
- and it will be no time
at all before the same prepara-
tions will be going on for an
other holiday. This brings to
our minds the thought upper
most with Miss Ida Roosa these
days. Miss RoOsa is the chair
man for December of the Lady
Board of Directors of Delaware
Colony, and each year she
strives to have a remembrance
or gift for each of the folks who
live at the Colony at Stockley.
The effort will have to be great
er than ever before. Last year
with a hundred packages too
few, and with a hundred more
children than at that time, Miss
Roosa is asking in this way for
help from everyone who finds it
possible to do so. Most anything
can be used. The workshops at
the Colony do wonderful things
in repairing and many toys are
made usable in this manner.
Miss Roosa was emphatic in
saying that the gifts need not be
over fifty cents, and on her day
at the Milford New Century Club
they can be brought there or
taken to the home of Mrs. Rob-
ert Griffith. They will be taken
to Stockley a few days later, but
in plenty of time for the day
that means so much to all. Re-
membering that it is more bles-
sed to give than to receive, there
should be enough packages for
all at the Colony.

shifted around in his chair, and
replied to many questions by "well,

these replies, demanding a direct

He also testified that he had
loaned $1,000 of the Jameson

was done at the suggestion Of Mr..
Jameson and the money was not
repaid. Later he refunded this
money to himself as chairman OF
the committee out Of the other
funds sent him by Mr.. Jameson.
AS he extended his answers,
counsel became impatient and de-
manded that he be brief. To this
he replied:
"'I am o Methodist preacher
and mot accustomed to say any
thing as briefly as you want me
TO-"
On cross examination, Mr.. Will
son questioned him at length
about the sale of a Richmond
newspaper for $4,000. The Bishop
said he turned the money over to
the late Rev. j. Sidney Peters and
J. w. Huff, but when asked to ac-
count for the money he said he
could not remember the details.

from the witness stand that he is
