fspeclaI 10 The Democrat)

Saranac Lake, June 2S-Failure of capital and labor to recognize a joint responsibility has resulted in the silica dust industries, such as granite cutting and mining, having the highest tuberculosis death rate in the country. This charge was made here today by Dr. Alton S.. Pope, Director of the Division of Tuberculosis, Massachusetts De- partment of Public Health, during the closing session of the National Tuberculosis Association's four day annual meeting.
 Changes in the methods of treat. ing tuberculosis during the next decade were predicted by Dr. Clar- ence L. Hyde, of East Akron, ohio. He prophesied that more patients would be treated in their homes rather than in sanatoriums and that patients requiring institutional treatment would be confined in special types of establishments to fit their conditions: sanatoriums, childrens' cottages at sanatoriums, homes for chronic hopeless cases, and reception hospitals or tuber- culosis departments of general hos. pitals.
 tuberculosis is probably the most serious disease of industrial workers today. and the one in which the least progress has been made" Dr. Pope said. In certain industries, as granite cutting and mining involving silicious dusts. the tuberculosis death rate Is higher than in any other part of the popu- lotion. Yet employees prefer the hazards of silicosis and tuberculosis to the loss of their jobs, and em. ployers refuse the expense of in- stalling proved dust elimination de- vices and of providing adequate compensation insurance. Only mu- tual recognition of responsibility by industry and labor, embodied in some form of social legislation, Is likely to lead to tuberculosis con- trol in this important field"
 Discussing means of reducing the general tuberculosis death rate Dr. Pope said, "rhe real need today for the discovery of incipient pulmon- ary tuberculosis is not so much the improvement of technical diagnos- tic procedures as the moro discrim- mating and effective application of accepted principles. Despite the tuberculin test. X-ray and sputum examination, which have made 1t possible to recognize the disease even in the minimal stage, the pro- portion of such cases coming to sanatoriums is but little higher than twenty-five years ago."
 He pointed out that this was due chiefly to the fact that patients rarely go to their physicians for advice until they are actually sick, and that by the time tuberculosis gives rise to symptoms, three.quar- ters of the cases are in a modei- ately advanced or far advanced stage. Examination of household contacts of known cases. Dr. Pope said, was the most productive field for results.
 Dr. John B. Hawes, 2nd, of Bos- ton, praised the properly run sum. mer camp or preventorlum for tu- berculous children as Ian educa- tional factor of very great value"

and reported a study of two groups of children, one of which had nt- tended preventorium and one that had not. The value of the preventorium, he said, lay not only in the physical improvement and training each child received. but also in the fact that 1t served as 4 medium of education in hygiene and the rules of health for the chii- dren's parents.
 The study revealed the follow- ing facts: The children who had attended a preventorium received institutional care that included good food, fresh air, rest, school every day in the open air. and no worries. Defects such as bad ton sils, teeth, etc., were remedied at the preventorium and health de- partment clinics. After being dis. charged they were all under con- stant high grade medical care and supervision. Parents meetings were held at the preventorium all year round and nutrition and other classes for parents were held at the headquarters of the tuberculosis us. sociation.
 The group of children who did not attend the preventorium pro- vided startling contrast: The'r home conditions were often very bad and in many instances they lacked the necessities of life. They were frequently under the care of private physicians who were unable to diagnose tuberculosis and who often withheld sanatorium care for them. even when they were sick, although children under the super vision of the city clinics had good medical care. The children under Board of Health care had defects remedied, but those under the care of private physicians did not.

BY HAROLD B. HINTON

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Uut Of the
confusion and political chickering's of the
Ty lngs committees investigation of
conditions in the Virgin Islands. only
one indisputable fact has thus far been
estanIished--indeed, conceded by all
bands. This is that the %. 600 inhabit-
ants of these Caribbean possessions of
ours are badly governed under archaic
laws of taxation and suffrage which
need overhauling.
Whatever may be the outcome Of the
personal fortunes of the principal figures
involved, it is likely that the airing these
conditions have received and will receive
ae the investigation adjourned for the
time being continues will result in
thorough revision of the laws for the
Virgin Islands and possibly our other
Territories and insular possessions.
Members of the investigating committee
have repeatedly remarked that we have
much to learn from the British ia colo.
NAL administration.
BASIC LAW INADEQUATE

basic law of the islands, was hastily
drawn TO carry out the terms of the

the colonial councils of the two munich

has always been too busy with other

Without entering in t o t h
justification for this unpopularity it is
plain that with such massed opposition
the Pearson regime can do little better
than mark time,
That there is open opposition and
desperate efforts on the part of the op

be admitted. That the administration

would dispute but that our people would
