Tuberculosis Cost In United States
 Was $35O,OOO,OOO
By DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American
 Medical AssOciatiOn)

While people talk in large figures about the national budgets and the cost of relief, they fail to realize that some diseases take a terrible toll of dollars each year from the American people
 Figures just made available indi- cate that the yearly cost to the 650,- 900 Amerians who suffer with tuber culosis is three hundred and fifty million dollars.
 Average duration of the disease is such an expensive disease for the state is the fact that it kills more people in early adult and middle age than does any other disease. Tub erculosis warrants far more atten- tion than has been given to it, not withstandng the fact that the cam paign is extensive.
 Death rates during the last 50 years have been cut from 275 to 300 thousand to as low as 75 to 100 a thousand. However, it should be possible to reduce the number of l deaths even more.
 Nowadays the great campaign on tuberculosis takes cognizance of the fact that early attention and partic- ularly early discovery of the disease, are the most significant factors in it's control. Seen early, cure is frequent seen late, cure is difficult, if not inn possible.
 Figures show that the right kind of treatment given within months of the time when the symptoms first appear reduces the average expense of handling the disease about $250 patient. On the other hand, if there is a delay of one year in find ing out about the disease, the av- craze cost of handling is more than $3900 patient or $500 above the av- craze cost of treatment
 Of course, the best way to take care of tuberculosis, particularly that which is rather advanced, is to have the patient in a properly con- ducted sanatorium or similar insti- tuition. Cost in such institution ap- proximates $3.5O a day.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 30.- I nat supposedly rare combination beauty and brains accounted for Thelma Todds individuality in the film world

She had no illusions about art and fewer about the su- periority of so-called drama over good. honest comedy. It was her willingness eagerness-to play in comedy that helped to continue her popularity where other players merely beautiful, dropped from the cameras eye.
 T like a good laugh she said And comedy? Say, love it. Its fun"
 On the Hal Roach lot, where she made two-reelers first with zasu Pitts and later with Patsy Kelly, everybody swore by--not at-Thel- ma Todd. She was around when any body needed help. and she always had time to pass the time of day with prop boys or wardrobe mistress es as with executives and fellow stars. She thought they were all im- portant even though it was she who happened to get her face on the screen. The best instance of her un- usual popularity is the fact that both zasu Pitts and Patsy Kelly counted her as a close friend.

Compromise Is Bound to
Defeat a Fighter

Ramsay Macdonald stands today as a tragic ex-
ample OF the thing that can happen to a man who
stops fighting and starts to compromise.
His party has disowned him. his old supporters are
his bitterest enemies. and he is no longer a member
Of Parliament-this man who. only a decade ago, sent
his voice across England like a horn OF Roland to
rally people for a better social order.
During the war MacDonald's name was one with
which good patriots could frighten small children.
Macdonald saw the war as a racket, from the start,
said SO, and paid for it heavily.
All the scorn and unpopularity that a united nation
can visit upon a dissenter we're poured on his head.
When he sought to 20 to Sweden to discuss peace with
workers representatives from the central powers.
English seamen went on strike and refused to carry
him. He was an outcast.
But he was also a fighter. He stuck by his guns,
refusing to give up his principles. no matter how hard
the storm. And in a few years he had his reward.
Wartime hatred turned to peace-time admiration.
He led his Labor Party to great gains; and at last
he became prime minister Of England. first repre-
sentative Of his class to sit where Pitt and Gladstone
had sat.
And then something happened. Ramsay Mac
Donald, who had fought like grim death for his prin-
ciples a short time before began, now, to compromise.
A Socialist, he began to act like a conservative rep
resentative Of the properted class; a pacifist. he fol-
lowed as premier policies indistinguishable from
those OF MS predecessors VINO mad mated pacllSm.
English Laborites accused him Of selling out The
words are too harsh. It is 50 fatally easy to justify
a policy Of compromise; to point out that half a loaf
is better than no bread. and that the leader Of a
minority party must proceed very slowly, when he
attains a position Of power.
SO Macdonald compromised, and what happened
after that is something that no politician can af-
ford to overlook.
His party deserted him. In the recent campaign he
was hecked so ~viciously that he was never able TO
complete a speech. He was showed under, at last,
failing Of reelection to Parliament by a vote Of more
than two to one. Today his career is ended, to all
intents and purposes.
once he stood alone against the world for a prin-
%ciple-and his nation came to love him for it. Later
on he compromised. and forgot that magnificent
ability to tell the world to 90 to blazes if it didn't
like him-and the result is complete and lasting de-
feat.
He is the most tragic political figure Of the day
an unforgettable example OF the disaster which comes
upon a fighter who stops fighting.
