friendship with the presidents SON.
There were, OF course. many can
didates for the Lowell vacancy, in

state judges. Mr. Sweeney has had
little legal experience In recent years
and few expected him to get the
job. In fact. the president turned

The bill makes no changes on the normal taxes in

present surtax schedules up to 100000 and to in
crease them thereafter. The House sought to boost
inheritance taxes. but the Senate boosted the estate
tax schedules instead, with a levy beginning at 2 per

Editor, Journal OF the American Medical Association.
and Of Hygeia, the Health Magazine
For some time 1t has been emphasized that the
rays Of the sun are q highly significant factor in
treatment OF tuberculosis. and thousands OF patients
have gone s~currying to the southwest to gain these
countries have exceedingly high tuberculosis death
rates.
In Puerto Rico at present the death rate from tu-
berculosis Is five times rs high as 1t Is at this time
In the United States. The authorities in Puerto Rico
are convinced that the reason for the high tubercu-
losis incidence In that island Is the tremendous
crowding in the slum areas
tuberculosis is a disease transmitted from one per-
son to another. When there Ia great crowding. the
child comes In contact with the older person who Is
a source Of the germs.
Because OF questions raised as to whether ultra
violet rays are especially useful In treatment OF pull
monary tuberculosis diseases. Drs. John S. Coulter
and Howard A. Carter recently made an ~investiga-
ton in the Municipal tuberculosis Sanitarium OF
Chicago.
They found that ultraviolet rays do not produce
any beneficial effects in cases Of active pulmonary
tuberculosis and that there was no uniform effect Of
the rays on the red blood cell count, the amount Of
red coloring matter In the blood. or number Of white
blood cells.
It has been argued BY some Investigators that the
ultraviolet rays are dangerous to those with tuber-
culosis. but again investigations showed that the
dangers have been greatly exaggerated and that there
is little II any danger when the dosage OF ultravio-
let rays is suitably regulated.
In addition TO these scientific Investigations there
are. of course, the opinions Of doctors who regularly
treat patients with tuberculosis diseases.
An analysis Of the publications OF those who have
written upon the subject indicates that as Of 10 COM
petent observers reported favorable results and "a
reported poor results or none at al following use OF
ultraviolet rays in treatment Of tuberculosis.
This does not mean that the principles established
III the past in relationship to the care Of those with
tuberculosis are now to be discarded.
II IS a well recognized fact that removal OF a patient
to a sanitarium where he can be treated under con-
trolled conditions. have plenty Of rest and fresh air
and everything included under good hygiene is ex-
~ceedingly useful.
In the southwestern part Of the United States par
ticuIarly, the routine treatment OF pulmonary tuber-
culosis has been developed on a high scientific scale
and good results are secured regardless Of the
amount Of sunlight involved.
Actually, modern physicians place much more re-
lance on use Of artificial pneumothorax. or the in
lection Of air into the chest cavity to bring about col
lapse Of the lung. than they do on almost any other
method.
