DR.. Frank stated there are 5,000,-
900 Americans who are without a

IF the desperation of all these poor

1T is vital that we keep the church

TUBERCULOSIS DRIVE
TO BROOK NO DELAY
Association to Push Campaign
Without Waiting on Health
Budget.

Without waiting for the decision Of
Congress as to the pending health
budget for Washington, the Tubercu-
losis Association announced last night
its purpose to go ahead with plans for
its early diagnosis campaign" from
April l to May /.
Mrs. Ernest r. Grant, however,
wished it understood that the effec-
tiveness of the essential educational
work would be largely lost unless funds
are made available by Congress to
enable the District government to
supply the necessary hospital. nursing
and other public health services.
DR.. A. Barklie Coulter, director of
the tuberculosis Bureau of the Health
Department, has consented to serve as
chairman of a Speakers Bureau
which will furnish capable tuberculosis
specialists to address meetings during
the campaign.
The national slogan for the cam
paign is Fight tuberculosis With
Modern Weapons" Expenses of the
campaign will be met by drawing on
funds from the sale of Christmas
seals.
Specil May day activities for health
will include, it was said. health talks
to schools and industrial groups. using
pictures. There will also be radio
talks. free health literature will be dis
tributed and clinics conducted for the
examination of persons suspected of
being infected with the disease.

In seven appropriation bills passed
thus far by the House, it has adhered
closely to budget estimates. The Sem

Senate TO Begin Work.
Meanwhile, Senate Democratic
leaders, realizing that the disposition
of tax legislation and relief appropria-
tons furnish the key to early adjourn
ment, have decided to begin work on
the tax bill before it is completed in
the House.
BY this procedure, Chairman Har-
rison of the Finance Committee ex-
poets to lay a bill before the Senate
not long after 1t has been passed by
the House, and at the same time be
in position to recommend a revenue
raising program more in line with the
Senate's present spending tendency
than indicated by the measure likely
to be passed by the House.
In this course, Senator Harrison
has been moved by two developments:
first, the letter from President Roose-
welt warning against the steady course
of the Senate in disregarding budget
estimates and, second, the growing
suspicion that the tax program as
developed by the House subcommittee
will not yield as much as estimated.
Harrison intends to explore all reve-
nue. sources to provide new funds,
needed to close the gap caused by the
invalidation of the A. A. A. processing
taxes, to pay the veterans bonus and
to meet the propensity of the Senate
to hike the appropriation measures as
fast as they come from the House.

hemophiliacs," meaning patients who
bleed profusively.
The amazing growth of plastic and
maxillo-facial surgery during the
World War was marked, he said, by
the development of two great organi-
cations. the Queens Hospital at Sid
coup, England, and the Maxillo-facial
service of the medical department Of
the United States Army.
There we're developed" he said,
"the principles upon which the organi-
zation for plastic surgery in our next
war will probably be built"
Harmony in mobilizing for the next
war will come sooner in the fields of
surgery and dentistry, he claimed, be-
cause the practitioners of these spe-
cialties will carry on their usual work
and soon become adjusted to military
conditions.
Cooperation Needed.
However. he warned In the middle

dentists must learn to work together

But this was an easy declaration to

fact, Hitler was told beforehand what
the official declaration of the British

offer no criticism.

from the canal shore to the island,
was damaged, but is being salvaged
The clubs privately-owned iron bridge
across the canal was partly submerged

Organized in 1885 as the Syca-
more Island Pleasure Club by a
group of Washngtonians of German
extraction. the club originally catered
to fishermen who ferried kegs of beer
over to the island for weekend stag
parties Most of the members went
from Georgetown by steamer on the
c. g. o. Canal to the ferry landing.
The club was reorganized in 1914
to admit women and ban intoXi-

ball are the principal sports.
Hit by Flood in 'S9.
The club received its first setback
from the river when the big '89 flood
shifted the old club house to one
end of the island. The structure was
not seriously damaged, however, and
was moved back 10 its foundations.
Subsequent floods had inundated
lower parts OF the island but had
failed to reach the main club house
until this year.
At a meeting of the Executive
Committee and some of the older
members of the club last week, it was
decided to have plans drawn at once
for the first unit of new club house,
to contain a club room. dining room.

Capt. johnson preceded his discus
sion of plastic and maxillo-facial sur

DR.. Kober, ex-Army surgeon and hon.
orary life member of the Association OF
Military Surgeons.
"a man both good and great, his
benefcent influence will long be felt
and the memory of DR.. Kober will
flourish far beyond our times" he said
While discussing plastic surgery in
relation to past and future wars, Capt.
johnson dealt with its early history as
we'll as. modern tendencies. and con-
cluded by offering some pertinent ad-
vice to young surgeons out to make
reputation in that field Of medical
science.
This advice was:
do not practice your speciality on
friends or associates.
Beware of homophiliacs.
always keep the premiums on your
malpractice insurance paid well in ad-
vance.
Practice plastic surgery as one OF q
group and affiliate with the Reserves of
the Army or Navy"

Opportunity to build reputation
and gain at the same time an appre-
ciative clientele is offered to young
surgeons, he suggested. in the "caui-
flower" ears dreaded so much by pugi-
lists.
"I suggest that you pass the word
among the orderlies and other hospital
employees, that you can prevent tin ears
if you see the patient during the first
"a hours after injury and can greatly
improve them after they have reached
the contracted stage" he said.
The science of plastic surgery is re-
corded, Capt. Johnson explained, 1000
to 3, 500 years before Christ. Both the
Ebers papyrus and the Hindu Vedas,
he said, contain descriptions of plastic
operations similar to those in use to-
day.
Plastic surgery is a strange entity"
he added. There is no agreement
as to its limitations. Those who prac-
tice it contend that its field is from
the scalp to the soles of the feet. but

ments.
