children who live in homes where there is no disease present" This statement was made by Charles l.. Newcomb, of the National Tuber- culOsis Association in opening the conference of Christmas Sead work CTS held at the Hotel Taft in New Haven yesterday under the auspices of the State Tuberculosis Commis- sion.
 Examination of several hundred thousand children in recent years shows that whereas tuberculosis does appear at intervals even among children who have had no apparent contact with the disease in their homes, among those children who have had known contact with some person in the home who has the disease, there is a steadily increased percentage of disease developed as the children grow older.
 Tuberculosis" says MT. Newcomb, "is an insidious disease. The seeds may be sOwn in childhood and the disease may not develop until the soil is properly fertilized due, some- times, to overwork, lack of proper hygiene and other causes in young adult life and late adolescence. That Is very why we. have so much more tnuberculosis in the age group from fifteen to thirty than in any other period of life.
 "The annual sale of Christmas Seals, now in its 30th year, has giv- en the national, state and local tuberculosis. associations in this city and elsewhere the money with which to spread knowledge of tuber- culosis. More than that, it has stimplated these communities to inc vest money to hte extent of millions of dollars in safatoria, public health nurses, clinics and other facilities for the prevention and treatment of this disease.
 ''The death rate from tuberculosis goes down. Today 1t is not more than one-third what it was twenty i've years ago, but the battle Is far from won.. We can see the goal in sight but if we are going to attain it we must have the weapons to fight and whose weapons are Christmas Seals"
 Mayor John w. Murphy, president of the New Haven Tuberculosis Re- lief association. and local seal sale chairman spoke at the luncheon session and reviewed the develop ment of the tuberculosis campaign in New Haven and in the state. Following Mayor Murphy's talk, there was a showing of a new sound motion picture film entitled Be- hind the Shadows" dealing with the problem of tuberculosis in the teen age group as revealed by the shadows of the x-ray. The film and sound equipment is part of the educational program of the State Tuberculosis commission, and &C., cording to a statement made by Miss Mabel Baird state campaign director, will be available for use of schools and clubs throughout the state.
