$500 TO PROVIDE
TUBERCUL|N TESTS
Christmas Seal Fund Aids
Plan for High School
Graduates.

The District tuberculosis Associa.
ton has appropriated $4,000 from its
Christmas seal fund to provide tuber-
culin and chest X-ray examinations
for all pupils in the city's senior high
school graduating classes. Mrs. Ernest

ton, Mrs Grant said that 30 persons
out of 100000 die Of tuberculosis be-
tween the ages of IS and 90.
THE period between the ages OF
is and 25 is an especially dangerous
time for development Of tuberculosis,"
she said. yet at that time, when
young people are in high school, coll
lege or just entering into business, tu-
berculosis can be most easily pre-.
vented"
In asking for the appropriation, DR..
Rutland said the plan Of examining
the high school senior classes should
be permanently established. He added
that the health department Is unable,
at the present, to finance the pro-
gram, which was recommended by the

W|TCHCRAF FEAR.
ALLAYE|DBYPR|EST
Story Accusing Woman With
Sorcery Charged to
Rival PeddIer.
sx the Aasocisted Press.

WOODBRIDGE. N. j., October D.
An itinerant brewer Of herbal potions
was blamed tonight for sowing wild
tales Of witchcraft, sorcery and black
magic among credulous and involving
one Of their neighbors.
Rev. Vincent Lenyi, the little parish
priest who succeeded in convincing
the women Of the absurdity Of their
superstition, said "fakir" had in
vented the stories to discredit the
woman accused of witchcraft, be-
cause she, too. concocted and sold
herbal brews. 81.
The peddler, the priest said, had
canvassed the Hungarian neighbor-
hood two years ago. He found this
woman was a commercial rival, SELL
ing her own preparations, and spread
the stories, the priest said. to i'm
prove his own trade. The stories
became more fantastic as they were
passed from mouth to mouth like
folk lore.
As Father Lenyi started his search
for the peddler ito give him q good
talking to-" he was praised by Police
Recorder Brown for the way he dis
abused the Franklin street house.
wives Of the conviction that their
neighbor was q witch and q sorcerer.
Brown. himself, tried unsuccessfully
to alter their beliefs when the
"witchcraft" case came before him in
court the other day.
Going from house to house through
out the neighborhood. Father Lenyi
sought out not only the five women
who had voiced the "witchcraft"
charges in court but their friends
and acqusintances who shared the
same eerie notions.
In . kindly way, often speaking In
the women's native Hungarian tongue
he chided them for their mental
folly.
"Witchcraft is a rubbish heap of
wornout creeds and superstitions. he
told them. 1T is all the product Of
fevered imagination"
Heads nodded and there were re-
spectful murmurs of "Yes, father"
Neighbors said the atmosphere and
general feeling in the "bewitched"
Franklin street neighborhood was bet
ter today, but the woman charged
with witchcraft remained in seclu-
sion behind the drawn blinds of her
home
Recorder Brown meanwhile lifted
the months suspension he imposed
on the three women who annoyed
the woman they called witch"

she smelled gas fumes around 2:3o
O'Clock, but did not investigate at the
time. Two hours later. when the odor
became stronger, she said she went out
in the hallway and found Miss Wander
slice trying to open her apartment
door.
Miss Vanderslice Informed police
Miss Welker returned from a visit to
her home in Colorado about $50 I'm.
While they were ca ting breakfast to-
gether. she said Miss Welker remarked
that she was "homesick already" She
was to have returned to work tomor-
row.
Miss Vanderslice moved into the
apartment On Thursday, when Miss
Gladys Ellison, who had been living
there, left for Missouri on her vacation
Miss Welker had been employed at the
Retirement Board since last May, Miss
Vanderslice said.

used with pronounced success. The
radio sends down its cryptic signals
which the observers translate into de-
grees of moisture. air pressures and
temperatures. If the weather is clear,
station men follow the course Of the
balloon through theodolites. thus
gathering the reports of wind direc-
tions and velocities. When the balloon
disappears in the clouds, delicate di-
rection finders will keep the observers
informed as to its course and thus
will be obtained the wind directions
and velocities aloft.
The airplanes are scheduled to go to
1900 feet. Lack OF proper flying
equipment. expense and frequently the
state of the weather make this i'm
possible. The balloons can be followed
to four and five miles and there have
been balloon flights which have been
watched through theodolites to alti-
tudes of 10 miles and more.
As they mount, the balloons expand
until they burst. Then the parachute
goes into action letting the instru-
ments gently to earth. Each set is
labeled with directions for sending 1t
back to the ground station from which
1t departs. OF course, certain num-
Der will never be found. but the prob
lem of expense Is being solved by max
ing them as economically as possible.
Flights Are Expensive.
The airplane observations are ex-
pensive even with the whole e-hearted
cooperation of the Air Corps and the
Navy, and the balloon flights, it is be-
lieved, can be made more often at
exactly the same hour, thus providing a
more complete and accurate picture Of
conditions than ever before obtained.
Moreover, they can be made from ships
at sea which will make possible more
exact weather charting of the upper
air over the ocean. OF course, the
instruments will almost never be re-
covered over water, but the news these
automatic reporters send back will be
far more valuable than the instru-
ments that are lost.
No one knows what the results will
be when there are hundred such
stations functioning in place of about
one-flfth that number of airplane sta
tions, but the meteorologists are hope
full that with more information air
mass analysis may not only give the
world the story Of tomorrow's weather,
but OF weather weeks and perhaps
months ahead.

to a set Of circumstances we cannot
understand without knowing how the
winds are aloft, pilots often cannot
60 up without altogether too much
risk. Thus when we need the infor-
nation most. the flights cannot be
made and when with good weather
and clear skies we can find out more
from the ground it is easy to make
the flights.
Another thing. We need more air
plane stations Their number should
be doubled. We need them especially
in Canadian Labrador in order to
study these polar continental fronts
as they move down from the north
We are pretty well supplied in Alaska
and the Canadians are helping. but
we should have many more stations
than are likely to be established If
we are to do thorough job We
expect great things from these new
balloons and the micro-meteoro-
graphs"
Four Automatic Pens Busy.

electrically controlled pen connected
with a switch in the cockpit which
the pilot turns on at specific times
during his flight. In addition to these
automatic records. the pilot himself
makes a set Of observations which he
radios to the ground station giving
with each message his altitude at the
time.
A development from this method is
to be used with the balloons A small
hydrogen balloon, perhaps feet in
diameter from which is suspended
