Well folks, ready or not. here
comes Christmas. Good old

The children think the pres

Many are purchasing Christ

the fur stores are crowded.
And the spirit has evidently
reached even Ethiopia, from the

HEALTH CHIEF
URGES YEARLY
INSPECTION
Cites Survey Made
Last Year to Back
His Contention

Annual medical inspection Of
high school students for tuber.
culosis was urged by Health OF.
ficer George C. Rutland today
as necessary to any important re.
duction in the Districts high
mortality rate from this disease.
At the same time DR.. Rutland
declared prospects of achieving
such an inspection are dim. He
pointed out that last spring an
inspection was made of 1000 high
school students. Because of lack
of municipal funds, it had to be
financed through the District
tuberculosis Association.
Results of last springs examina-
tions first showed the need for
an annual physical examination.
Half of those examined were
found to have tuberculosis, but
in the great majority of cases the
disease was in the arrested stage.
DR.. Rutland said 36 active cases
were found.
Staff Inadequate
DR.. Rutland pointed out that
his staff is unable to devote time
from regular inspections to test
ing for tuberculosis, nor can the
current case finding survey of the
department, financed through a
$4,000 WPA project, be enlarged
to carry on another test of the
high school students.
The staff of medical school ex-
aminerS is ID physicians, who
work part time, and IL nurses.
They examine as best they can
the $4,000 public school students
for all classes of diseases. DR..
Rutland repeatedly has asked
funds to enlarge the staff ard
emphasized need for the annual
high school inspection at recent
hearings before the Budget Bu-
reau on the coming municipal
budget, but holds no hope of OBJ
tanning his recommendations.
DR.. Rutland, at a recent confer
ence with DrS. Charles R. HALEY,
Daniel L. Finucane. James G.
Cumming and Joseph A. Murphy,
on tuberculosis among children at.
tending public schools, recon.
mended a policy of removing from
schools to sanitarium or giving
home treatment to children who
are found with active symptoms of
progressive tuberculosis infection
Of the lungs or having positive
sputum. The health officer said
this policy has generally been fol.
lowed, but should be made a per
manent guide.
Pre-SchOOl Cases
In urging the need for the an
nual high school examinations, DR..
Rutland pointed out that the
regular medical school tests and
clinics for pre-school children were
uncovering cases Of tuberculosis.
He pointed out that the death
rates from tuberculosis, especially
among girls, was unusually high
among the ages of IA to 25. The
average child is in high school
at age IA. He declared these an.
nual inspections should be given
through use of X-rays and in the
younger students, X-ray and tuber.

1t Doesn't Come Out Even

The Democratic National Commit
tees clip sheet for July "a goes into
rhapsodies over the prosperity which
has come to farm hands by reason of
the New Deal. 1t states that wages
of farm hands on July /, 1885, were
exactly 80 per cent of pre-war levels"
and the highest in four years.
During the week of July "a, State
administrators, representing the Fed
eral Relief Administration, in order
to find an excuse for the refusal of in
dividuals on relief rolls to accept work
in the harvest fields, repeatedly made
the statement that farm wages are
"below subsistence" levels.
The two official explanations do not
jibe. Mr.. Farley and Mr.. Hopkins
should create another New Deal
alphabetical bureau for the purpose
of announcing the same general state
ments from both organizations.

Since all these whispering cam
paigns have been started about the
President, we might as well get one
started. We whisper to everyone that
Roosevelt will not be reelected-may
not even be nominated.
Now don't speak about this out loud
as this is a whispering campaign, but
you can whisper as hard as you want,
and the harder the better.
There's been a great deal of worry
lately over the possibility that many
of those now on relief will never want
to work in the future.
Sorry instances are cited where men
receiving SIS a week in relief have
rejected offers of jobs for $18 week
on the ground that they would be fool
ish to work for SO a week.
Obviously they would be even less
inclined to accept legitimate employ
ment for SIS a week.
Once the shiftless find that they can
live without working, trying to pu;
them to work will be job in itself.

Troubles of a Cattle Dealer

Recently an Oakland cattle dealer
had thirty-fve head of milk cows and
wanted someone to take some of them
for pasture, as his pasture had be-
come short.
The dealer received a letter from a
farmer promising to take care of two
COWS, providing everything was all
right. The farmer wanted everything
but a nursemaid, but the letter speaks
for itself. The parenthesis marks do
not belong to the farmer:
Dear Sir:-I am told you have 35
head of milk cows and some of them
real good ones. Now if this is so and
YOU want to do this you can bring me
2 good milk COWS. But they must be
perfectly gentle and broke to milk by
hand and they must not be kickers or
jumpers. (What about high step
pers?)
l would like to buy two good milk
cows, but there are SO many that are
no good that I am afraid to buy. So
you can bring me good, gentle milk
COWS not over six or seven years old
and I will pasture them until fall, just
so they will give me milk enough to
pay for the pasture. (He's bigheart-
ed)
If they suit me I will bind myself in
a note to pay for one this fall and
will keep them both and give you an
other note to pay for the other one
next spring, but you must be willing
to exchange cows with me until I get
2 COWS that suits me and l can tell
you inside of 10 days whether they
suit me or not. (Sort of quick that
way.

German refugees, today sub
mitted a report demanding the

sponsibility for their rehabilita-
ton.
Covering two years Of investl-
cation and activity in the in
tereSts of German refugees, the
report declared their plight con-
tinues to be extremely grave as
1.-The German government has
taken drastic measures against
those returning, not only pre-
venting them from taking EN-
ployment, but combining them in
're-education' camps.

Mr.. MacDonald's report, read
to q governing body of the High
Commission for German Refu-
gees, revealed that a refugee eco
nomic corporation, with a capt.
tai Of ten million dollars, has
been formed in the United States.
The report said:
"Since April, 1888, when the
Hitler regime came into power
in Germany, causing the flight
of thousands of men, women
and children for racial and
political reasons, there has been
raised throughout the world
approximately $1O,OOO,OOO for
I the relief and rehabilitation Of
these refugees.
ITO this amount, the Jews
of the United States contributed
the largest amount, with three
million dollars, and the Jews OF
Great Britain, $2,5OO,OOO."

any case any person who had
left Germany to return"
OF the exiles from Germany
