Of Christmas mail thought of selling
penny seals to finance hospital for
children. He obtained the indorse-
ment of the King and the people re-
sponded generously. The success of
the scheme attracted the attention of
Jacob Riis, Danish magazine writer
in New York, who wrote about the
plan. His article was seen by Miss
Emily Bissell, leader in tuberculosis
work in Delaware, who adopted the
seal plan with such success in financ-
ing a sanatorium project that the
great national Red Cross organization
then took up the plan and issued seals
for its tuberculosis work. Then, by
friendly agreement, the whole Christ
mas seals method in 1920 was trans
ferred from the American Red Cross
to the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton, which took out its own COPY
right on the idea.
In the quarter Of a century since
the Christmas seal came into active
use in the United States the death

duced one half. During that period

Tiny Christmas Seal Has Been Mighty Force for Goods
Idea Had Its Inception in
Mind of Humble
Postal EmpIoye.

Of 10000 patients and a capitalized
value of over $3.50, 900. In addition
to this a large number of free clinics
have been established and the public
nursing service has been expanded in
every State. Child health work in con-
nection with public and parochial
schools is another activity made pos
sible by the Christmas seal funds and
along with this now goes the tubercu-
lin testing and X-raying OF school
children. The provision of special oc-
cupational training for arrested cases
in hospitals has also been one of the
larger activities conducted by tubercu-
losis workers and the after-care Of
patients discharged from hospitals as
arrested cases, known as rehabilitating
work.
All of these various kinds of work
and in addition the free distribution
of health literature and information
have been carried on by the District
of Columbia tuberculosis Association,
including also the operation of high
~ successful Summer camp for tuber-
culosis children. Each year a group
of boys and girls of both white and
colored races have received special
care, with plenty of good food, rest
and sunshine, with the result that a
number have been completely cured
and all have improved in health and
resistance.
In view of all this helpful and con-
structive action, representing the saw
ing of hundreds of lives and the pre-
vention of untold suffering, and all
made possible by the now almost uni
versal American custom of using the
Christmas seals of the tuberculosis
association, Is it not understandable
that these seals are regarded with
general favor by the people in all
walks of life. They represent intel
ligent self-interest as well as care for
the welfare of others, for the work OF
the tuberculosis association Is planned
to prevent the spread of infection and
thus to protect your own homes and
those dear to you.

time to be seen by many, and exert
wide influence.

and deprivations, his was not "hard

happy as long as paint and heather

One is reminded of this philosophical
statement by the Van Gogh exhibition
in the Museum of Modern Art, New
York, which is at present attracting
so many visitors that it is difficult to
see the exhibits. Van Gogh was the
son of a parson and himself a
preacher-the sense of human brother
hood was strong within him-and also
the love of art, eagerness for express
sion. His poor, tortured, unbalanced
brain held him back, but he was al
ways battling for control-his genius
would not down. During his lifetime
he made no more than 500 by his
painting; the collection of his works
now on view in the Museum of Modern
Art is insured for s1,000,0oo. This
discrepancy is fantastic.
The present vogue for Van Gogh
may be and probably Is an exaggera-
ton. Future generations may not
rank him with the great in art. But
OF his sincerity, his courage, his de-
termination, his genius, whether ef-
fectual or not, there can be no doubt,
and none can stand in the presence
of his paintings without being pro-
foundly moved-as in the presence of
a soul laid bare.
1t is extremely interesting to be
able, in the Van Gogh drawings on
exhibition, to see the influence of
Millet on him originally, and to learn
through extracts from letters quoted
on labels. the enormous study he un-

did were replete with human instinct
interpretations-the Postman, the
Woman of Arie, were his friends-he
makes us like them. He continually
strove for skill to express adequately
the truths in nature that he felt he
had discovered. Alas, it Is not these
profound qualities that exalt his work
today, it would seem, but rather the
eccentricities that he could not con-
quer. It Is these which are lauded
and copied.

his chin after they exchanged light lefts
to the head Louis jabbed with his left
and connected with a short uppercut and
Pauline fought from half crouch and
was careful to leave little for the Brown
Bomber to shoot at. Pauline dug a short
left to the body and Louis countered with
a short right to the face. The Negro
pumped a steady stream of lefts to the
face and Pauline jumped away from hard
right cross. Louis missed right. but con-
nected with a half dozen short blows to the
head as Pauline bored in. The Spaniard
was gamely attempting to carry the fight
