Cooperation of Parents and
Students Sought; Rutland
Cites Prevention Need

Several hundred high school
students in Eastern and Mckinley
High Schools were given skin
tests today to determine whether
they have tuberculosis inspection.
Small portions Of tuberculin
were injected into the skin Of the
students by physicians as the
latest development of an enlarged
District health program. The in
lection, according to District
health officials, is harmless and
produces no i'll effects.
Parents of the students were
assured that the tests are being
given to determine whether the
students have been at any time
infected with tuberculosis. If
symptoms of the disease are
found, X-ray pictures will be
taken of the students found to
react to the tests.
300 In Senior Glasses
There are about 300 members
of June graduating classes in the
two high schools. A written state
ment from the parents of the
students requesting the tests is
required by the health authorities
before the injection can be given.
Next week the graduating
classes of other local high schools
will be given the same injection,
subject to the consent of their
parents and themselves. Similar
tests of students in other cities
have revealed a high percentage
OF injection, physicians stated.
Parents Aid Asked
DR.. George c. Rutland, District
health officer, urged parents to
cooperate by requesting the tests
for their children. He stated:
"This is the first time par.
ents have been given the OppOr-
tunity to learn whether their
children have ever been in.
fected with the disease. These
tests will be of great impOr-
lance because many of the chill
dren may be found to suffer
slightly from the disease.
"By learning this at the be-
ginning Of the dangerous age
for the disease, a quick and
easy cure can be made. BY
curing quickly early cases, pos
sibility of injecting others also
will be overcome"

and ring. Joan Blondell is thin
like match these days and look
ing too elegant as is Mary
Carlisle, who after years of starv-
ing for the cinema suddenly
overnight dropped off her baby
fat and now doesn't have to diet
anymore. Speaking of baby fat,
some years ago Molly O'Day
(whom you'll remember with
Richard Barthelmess in "T h e
Patent Leather Kid"), suddenly
blew up like a ballon.
Diet did nothing so she rushed
off to a plastic surgeon who
carved out all the offending
avoidupoo. But even that didn't
help for in a month or so it all
came back, so she gave the
cinema back to the Indians and
then on her next birthday, like a
gift from the Gods, her baby fat
completely disappeared and she
became slim like an eel, so she
resumed her career but imme-
diately.
We discover in our midst one,
Ann Grey, who has the distinc-
tion Of being kissed by General
Pershing. She was but a twit Of

Then comes his marriage by
proxy to the lovely Berengaria,
daughter of the impoverished
King of Navarro. It seems that
Richard needed fodder for his
horses, supplies for his army and
the most convenient way securing
these essentials was by marriage
to Berengaria. His indifference

into real affection and the prob

success of his sword.
Good Love Story
According to history the Crusade
failed because of these quarrels
among the leaders. Berengaria
is visioned as a forceful disciple
of an honorable peace and Saladin
as a magnanimouS conqueror.
Henry Wilcoxson, good English
actor, plays the wayward and
human Richard, who was not
afraid of any man, impetuous in
love, more interester in fighting
than the Holy Cause. AS Actor
Wilcoxson portrays him he is
bluff and hearty, but tender as a
