NJ 3. c. completed arrange
ments today to broadcast
the ceremonies in connec-
\ ton with the lighting of the
national community Christmas tree In
Lafayette Park December a.
Two large choral groups will take
part this year.
A chorus Of so voices, made up Of
singers Of the Franciscan friars at the
monastery in Brookland, augmented
by students at Catholic University,
under the direction of Rev. Bonaven-
ture Simon OF the Franciscan Monas-
terry, will sing the "Adeste Fidelis."
The Lincoln Cathedral Choir of the
University of Nebraska, at the request
of President Roosevelt, also will par
ticipate in the musical part of the
ceremonies. 1t has not yet been de-
cided what numbers the visiting group
will sing.
This ceremony was originated IL
years ago by the Community Center
Department and the American For
estry Association. In 1928 the first ma
tional community Christmas tree was
lighted by President Coolidge. The
tree was spruce, a gift of the Amer
lean Forestry Association, and was set
up on the Monument lot A church
choir sang for the official ceremonies.
The following year living tree was
presented to the Nation and was
planted in Sherman Square. where
the ceremonies were held for a num-
Der Of years. President Coolidge again
lighted the tree and the Marine Band
played the music that year, as they
have each Christmas.
In 1928 President Coolidge, the last
year he was in the White House, added
just word of Christmas greeting to
the people of the Nation. Since that
time it has become the custom for the
President in lighting the tree to wish
the Nation merry Christmas and a
happy New Year" In turn, tokens
are presented to the President and
his wife by a chosen Boy and Girl
Scout, extending best wishes from the
people throughout the country.
Only once has the tree been lighted
by other than the President of the
United States, and that was in 1880
when, In the absence from the city OF
President Hoover, the living tree was
lighted by Vice President Charles Cur
tis.
A DESCRIPTION of the forbidden
city Of Lhassa will be broadcast on
Sunday when Suydam Cutting and
Arthur Vernay, two of the eight white
men to have penetrated the sacred
precincts, tell of their experiences on
a program entitled Tales of Tibet
over the Columbia network.
Cutting and Vernay we're the CO.
leaders of an expedition into the
heart Of Tibet which was sponsored
by the American Museum of Natural
History. They recently returned to
America after several months there
and in the almost equally inaccessible
regions of outer Mongolia. Cutting,
the only American ever to have enter
ed LhaSsa or to have interviewed the
Dala! Lama, head of the Tibetan
Church, spent five years in negotia-
tions with the priesthood of that land
before he could gain permission to
make the visit.

Pumpkin Pie
BY GEORGE ELLISTON.

BY GEORGE ELLISTON.
Hail. golden brown and relished much;
Hail, pumpkin pieI
Your splendors both to taste and sight
None will deny.
Hail, tempting, luscious, where you rest
There on white cloth;
We will extol you as we eat
And nothing 10th.
Hail, pumpkin pie! Some still will say
That cherry pie
Is best Of all delights, and for
This tid-bit sigh.
Some will proclaim the apple brand.
Some peach, but
Will sing my phrases always to
The pumpkin pie.

~ LACKY The CROW is, you
- know, one of the larger of the
feathered folk of the Green
~ Forest. While he does not de-
pend upon smaller people for his liv-
ing, as do the members of the Hawk
and Owl families. he likes his bit Of
fresh meat now and then. I suspect
that, if he would, he could explain the
disappearance of many Mouse and
certainly of many baby bird. Rather
a bold, fearless person is Blacky the
Crow. That is-he is fearless in some
ways. Both his boldness and his fear

War Inspires New Hat.

Paris has new hat inspired by the
war in Ethiopia. A Bersaglieri hat,
trimmed with the traditional cock
feathers. has made its appearance in
the Rue Royale. 1t was worn by tall,
middle-aged woman, who carried the
dashing headgear with great dignity.
It is predicted that Bersagieri hats
will be as popular as they were in
1919, when a regiment of Bersaglieri
was quartered in Paris.

Medical Men Warned
 Of Possible Danger
Falling Birth Rate Contributes to Tuberculosis Con- trol Physicians Told Today at Saranac Lake Confab

CTS are availlng themselves of in- tra-pleural pneumolysis, and yet here is a method that converts over 7s per cent of partial col- lapse cases into complete, and turns failure into success for the given patient"
 Citing statistics based upon their records, the doctors showed that of those patients in whom 1t had been necessary to sever adhesions sur- glcally in order ito secure complete collapse, only nine per cent were foupd not suitable for operation. They reported alo that the x-ray was not nearly as valuable in de- termining operative type as was di- rect exploration. In the final anal ysis, they said, the x-ray's chief value is determining the 1t of ap- proach.
 "Tuberculosis is still an impor- tant cause of death," pr. Louis |. Dublin, third vice-president and statistician of the Metrop olitan Life Insurance company told the Na- tional Conference of Tuberculosis Secretaries which is meeting joint ly with the American Sanatorium association. Citing thirty years ex. perience of his company, he said: For the period 1926.1930 1t was the leading cause in the age range 26-44 years for white males, 16.34 for white femals, 15-44 among col- ored males, and b-34 among col. ored females.
 "The tuberculosis death rate among colored persons during the period 101l-1930 exceeded that among the white by 7S per cent for males and 169 per cent among females. The death rate among the color was higher than that among the white persons at every age per. iod, the excess colored ove whirte ate being most pronounced in the childhood and adolescent years of life."
 Prompt Treatment Needed
 Dr. Dublin stressed the impor. tance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment in restoring rec spiratory tuberculosis patients to health and normal working capac. fly. "ln the sanatorium maintained for Metropolitan employees" he said, "the cases which were far ad. vanced on admission to the sana- torium recorded subsequent death rate thirteen time the rate for incipient caes. More than 71 per cent of the incipient patients were able to return to work as compared with 30 per cent of those far advanced.
 Many factors have contributed to the control of tuberculosis" Dr. Dublin said. Among these are: extension and improvement of medical and nursing care, rapid de. velopment of the sanatorium move. ment, newer methods of thorapy, growth of industrial hygiene, i'm. proved standard of living, the fall- ing birth rate, and the check on immigration"
 The District of Columbia Tuber. cuiosis association was announced as the winner of the contest among the 1000 affiliated tuberculosis as- sociations to increase their aver- age per capita Christmas seal sale over the years 1e31-33. The prize was the original painting for the 24 sheet poster used during the 1884 campaign.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-06-24
(spcciol to The Democrat) }


 Saranac Lake, N. r., June 24- Several warnings to the medical pI .fession were sounded in a paper presented here today on the use of artificial pneumothorax in the treatment of tuberculosis by Drs. Leroy s. Peters and P. H. Cornish, of Albuquerque, New Mexcio. The physicians were addressing tho thirtieth annual meeting of the American Sanatorium Association.
 Recapitulating twenty threc years experience in speeding up cures by intra- pleural pneumolysis (severing adhesions that prevent collapse of the lung) and artificial pneumothorax (collapsing the lung by injecting air into the pleural cavity) they said, "In the begin- ningning, probably not more than five per cent of the patients were considered safe risks. Now many eighty per cent, under some types of compression therapy. This high percentage can be safely handled in sanatoria where the patient is under careful supervision, but in our opinion Is not warranted in pri vate practice. The odds are too much against e successful outcome. When long chances are to be taken, institutional care should be oblig- atory. There is too much optimism in the current literature and too many men in small communities are becoming compression special- ists, depending on an occasional tue berculosis patient to provide the necessary experience to make their work successful"
 Operation Discussed
 Discussing technical details of the operation, they emphasized the fact that in order for 1t to be considered successful 1t must re. suit in the cavity being closed and the patient rendered bacillus free. Unless this has been accomplish ed," they said, Tt Is c waste of the physician's time and the money to drag out a partial collapse over months and years. A positive sputum is the tuberculous invalid's death sentence, either by extension in the pulmonary area, or by the complication of a laryngeal or in- testinal tuberculosis.
 It Is dangerous to hope that ad- hesions to the chest wall that pre-. vent complete collapse may be stretched or broken, they declared, and pointed out that many ad- heions may be severed with little or no inconvenience to the patient and with far less serious complica- tions.
 Tt is appalling" they declared, "how few pneumothorax work.
