THANKSGIVING Day will mark the
beginning of the 28th annual nation
wide Christmas Seal Sale in the in
terest of the warfare against tuber-
culosis. The sale in Maryland will
be conducted under the auspices OF
the Maryland Tuberculosis Associa-
ton. The proceeds will be used for
the support of tuberculosis work in
this State, some of it going toward
the expenses of the clinics conducted
throughout the counties under the
joint auspices of the State Depart
ment of Health and the State Tuber-
culosis Association. Some of it will
go toward special work that is being
done for children who are under
weight, or who have been exposed to
tuberculosis, and some will be used
in educational work to show how the
disease may be warded off, or pre-
vented altogether.
Urging everybody to help in the
fight against tuberculosis by buying
the special Christmas seals, DR.. X.
II. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health said, zone of the
splendid things about the annual
tuberculosis seal sale is the oppor-
tunity it gives everyone of us to have
part in the fight against that dis
ease. The seals are only penny
apiece-so that even the children
can help.
tThe picture of the tiny red
house against the snowy background
of mountains and trees that you see
on the seal this year." DR.. Riley
continued, lis reminder of the
courage and vision of DR.. Edward L..
Trudeau, one of the greatest leaders
this country has had in the warfare
against tuberculosis. He was strick-
very young man, just at the begin
ming of his medical career. He
went to the Adirondack Mountains
to die-his friends thought. But
instead of dying, be began to get
better, and slowly regained strength
and health. He never became COM
pletely well-the disease was too
far gone for that-but his life was
prolonged for many years of great
service.
HE took up his medical work
again, and laugh. others, impressing
upon them the benefits of pure, fresh
air, plenty of sunshine, nourishing
food, long hours of rest and sleep,
and careful medical supervision. The
little red cottage in which some of
his first patients were housed, was
the starting point for the kind of
hospital and sanatorium care, now
available all over the country, for
those who are ill with the disease.
"All methods used in the care of
those who develop tuberculosis have
a two-fold purpose. First, care of
those who are ill, with methods of
treatment that will help arrest the
progress of the disease and bring
back health; second, the prevention
of the spread of the disease to others.
THE money raised by the sale Of
the Christmas seals is used largely
for PREVENTION. When we re-
call the courage and heroism of the
leaders-like DR.. Trudeau-in The
fight against tuberculosis, we realize
that it is a great privilege to do our
part against it.
"The tuberculosis seals give US
this chance. Let's do our utmost. /"

New Play For

the Drama Guild Of Washington
is to present at the Wardman
Park Theater the third week in

This is the second production
Of the Drama Guild season, and
Gerald Miller, who is we'll known
as a director of several successful
plays presented in Washington, is
to direct.
When Both Your Houses" was
presented by the New York Thea
te-' Guild in 1888, it caused a
furore inasmuch as the play is
a stinging indictment of the
United States lawmakers. 1t has
never been presented in Wash
ington either on the professional
or the amateur stage.
When Maxwell Anderson was
in town last week with his new
play, Valley Forge" he COM
mented that he thought the
Drama Guild very brave to do
Both Your Houses" in the midst,
as it were, of the laWmaking
bodies with which the play deals.

Retail Squirt Is Forecast
by Increased Activity
at Factories.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 10.-The dollar
volume of sales in the furniture indus
try, which last Winter fell to hard
times low, has begun to bound up
ward.
Preliminary returns from February
sales, as reported to the National Re
tail Furniture Association, indicate
that the money volume ran far ahead
of the 1888 average in most localities.
In Chicago, leading stores reported
sales up from Is to so per cent and
final totals from New York's retailers
were expected to show their sales
perhaps 40 per cent ahead Of last
years.
The average for the Nation, it was
estimated today by officials Of the as
sociation, should at least equal" the
records of those two cities.
Due to prices averaging about Is
per cent higher than those prevailing
q year ago, however, the increase in
dollar volume does not represent an
equal increase in unit sales.
A more rapid turnover for retail
stores has been forecast by rising Or
ders for manufacturers. From Janu-
ary to February "a, orders received
by furniture factories throughout the
country totaled 1872 per cent Of those
for the corresponding weeks Of last
year.
An improved outlook has been re-
ported to officials of the American
Furniture Mart from such factory CEN
ters as Rockford. ILL.,; Evansville, Ind:
High Point, N. G.; sheboygan, Wis,
and Grand Rapids, Nch. >.
