losis hospitals and sanatoria has
been a great factor. In 1907 Miss
Emily P. Bissell launched the first
Christmas seal sale in Delaware.
She raised $4,000 toward building
hospital for children ill with tu-
berculosis.
Remarkable Saving
The annual death toll from tu-
berculosis in the United States
would be $4,000 If the death rate
of the early 1900's still prevailed.
Under present conditions the an
nual death toll is less than 10000.
This certainly is a remarkable saw
ing.
In those 80 years, tuberculosis
has gone from the position of first
rank as cause of death to sew
enth. It still is responsible for the
death Of about 1000 children under
Is years Of age each year, and it
still is the first cause of death dur
ing the age period from Is to 45.
There still is plenty of 1t. for 1t
has been estimated that there are
100000 active cases in the United
States.
But the campaign against tu-
berculosis paid q dividend of S per
cent in lives even in recent years.
because in 1884 the death rate was
forced down from sos per 100000
population to a new minimum
Of $3.50.
Tuberculosis is preventable, as
this shows, and we will not be sat-
isfied until it is entirely eradicated
and is lust as rare disease as ty-
phoid fever or diphtheria. Only
one of the seven leading causes OF
death in the United States showed
q decline in 1884 from 1888. That
disease was tuberculosis, the dis.
ease the Christmas seals are help
ing to control.
Stamp collectors must have 81
seals for a complete set, az there
were two designs in 1907 and four
In 1913.

losers.
A low diamond was ruffed. The
next two tricks were taken with
the Ace and K of spades, clearing
out opposing trumps. The Q of
clubs was taken. Declarer's last
club was led. The Ace won the
trick. Both missing clubs fell,
allowing declarer to discard his
last low heart on the established
8 of clubs. The lone heart was
led from dummy. Declarers G
lost the third and last defensive
trick, leaving declarer nothing en-
cept the good K of hearts and his
two good trunps, just giving him
his doubled and redoubled con-
trcct. Unfortunately the finish
was too close to teach East much
of a lesson. Probably he will need
many and more decisive losses to
teach him not to double too freely.

TOBACCO CROP IN
GEORGIA SPLENDID
But Cotton and Tobacco i'm
Carolinas Very Poor,
Moss Reports

The tobacco crop in Georgia is one
of the finest produced there in sew
eral years, and the growers report it
to be of the best quality they have
raised in a long time, E. G. Moss
superintendent of the tobacco expert
ment farm near Oxford of the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture,
said on his return a few days ago
from trip through Eastern North
Carolina, South Carolina Georgia and
Florida.
1t was not such good news the to-
bacco experimenter brought from
Eastern North Carolina and South
Carolina, however. In both those belts
the crop is bad Mr.. Moss said. The
cotton in those sections is even worse,
he reported. The cotton is just begin
ming to come up and has not even
been chopped, he stated.
Curing in Georgia is now getting
under way, Mr.. Moss said, and he said
he found farmers with whom he talk
ed pleased with their prospects for
good returns from their yields this
season.
Word received here in the past few
days, however, is that hail storms
have played havoc in some sections
of the Georgia belt. Particularly
around MOultrie has there been dam
age from this source, according to the
advices. The localities were restricted
in area, however, and will not be suf-
ficient to affect generally the size of
the crop for the year.

UPWARD TREND Of
BUSINESS GOES ON
Political Conventions Have
Not Halted Climb To-
ward New Peaks

Following is the monthly business
review furnished by the Citizens Bank
q Trust Company:
Business men may be uneasy as the
presidential election approaches, but
the national conventions have not
checked the advance of industry and
trade. Keynote speeches, platforms
and nominations have not affected the
upward trend perceptibly.
June usually brings a decline in
steel ingot production, but last
months output, although slightly be-
low the May peak, held to levels above
those of any other month since April,
1890. Soft coal production was off sea-
sonably and well below the totals for
June of last year, but merchandise
freight loadings were above the May
levels. Production of electric power
was almost at the all-time high of last
December.
Automobile output for June is be
lieved to have Appropriated 45O 900
cars and trucks, as against BIT 900
units in June of last year. May pro-
duction was 100000 units. Rubber con-
sumption exceeded $4,000 tons for the
before-in June, 1933-has the use of
crude rubber reached this volume.
Domestic rubber stocks are now the
smallest since July, 1881.
Even without the stimulus of bonus
money June's retail sales would have
run we'll above those of a year ago
Reports for the first half of the
month showed a volume II percent
above that for the corresponds pc
Rod in 1885, although distribute of
bonds and cash to the veterans only
began on the 18th.
Municipal and state construction
work, much of it financed by federal
grants, continues to broaden the mar
gin of increase over 1885 totals. When
the new PWA grants authorized by
Congress in the new relief bill be-
come available later in the year, still
further stimulus will be provided for
the construction industry.
The Department of Agricultures
bureau of land economies reports that
the number of farms in this country
has increased by not less than half
a million since 1880. The number of
families on farms is now approximate
ly the same as in 1910. At the same
time, it is pointed out that the re-
duction in crop production cost some
two million farm labOrers their jobs
and sent them to the cities to seek re-
lief SO that the actual change in the
distribution of population has not
been important. More than 60 percent
of the owner-operated farms in this
country are free from MORTGAGE 6aht
and the volue of such farms has more
than doubled since 1900
This country's exports continue to
gain, the first half years totals run
ming some II percent above those for
the corresponding period in 1885.
Some of this advance may doubtless
be credited to the new reciprocal
trade treaties, but it should be noted
that our sales to France showed the
greatest gain of all IS percent-and
that the reciprocity treaty with that
country was not signed until May.

GOOD PRICES FOR

and exporters. Mr.. Jameson has just

One of the best informed men in
this section on the tobacco industry,
MIR. Jameson estimates about 80 per-
cent of the crop out in the Middle
Belt. He was uncertain about the per-
centage of the stand of the crops, but
said an unfavorable season apparently
has cut the size sufficiently to pre-
vent an reproduction, as was fear
ed in early spring, and this should
keep the price at least as high as dur

 Geneva, May H. (UP)-- Halle Selassie, exiled emperor of Ethiopia, today telegraph the League of Na- tions from his refuge in Jerusalem that he remains determined to "con- tinue the fight against Italy" The Negus injected himself personally into the Geneva situation just as League Council leaders, in secret conferences moved to postpone for a month action on Italy's conquest and Germany's denunciation of the Locarno treaty. Breaking the silence he has maintained officially for more than week Halle Selassie in- formed the league he left Ethiopia to save his people from extermina- ton.

INVENTOR MAKES
 CATAPULT BOAT

New York, May 1l-(UP)-The successful 30-foot flight" of a new automatic safety lifeboat so tm- pressed its inventor, Menotti Nanni, today that he predicted the next test leap would be from George Washington bridge. A little later, he allowed that that "the top deck of the biggest steamship" would pro- vide sufficient height.
 Nanni predicted that the catapult- ing lifeboat would make ships davits obsolete. He said 1t eliminated the danger of escaping from a ship in case of fire, explosion. "or any other reason why anybody should want to leave a ship in hurry"
 A successful demonstration took place at the Battery yesterday. Nanni's boat was an ordinary snub- nosed broad -beamed lifeboat. II was supported from the ground by two long rods about three inches in diameter, which fitted into two round chambers in the hull.
 One end of the rods was imbed. ded in a metal turFet. The boat wal slid onto the other end of the rodi so that the rods filled the chamber from stern to bow.

 we are a party of social trans formation and can not participate in a left wing government which 1t would be stupid to call revolution ary." Socialists at a meeting last night voted to form the government alone If necessary, though 1t was emphasized that they strongly pre- ferred the active collaboration in the cabinet of all groups of the popu- lar front. including the communists.

A petition for a similar general order was also filed in the receivership of the Naugatuck Bank &S Trust Go.
 the Naugatuck Bank & Trust Co.
 Tho motions for permission to dispose of stocks and bonds will be heard in superior court Friday by Judge Edwin 0. Dickenson at the short calendar session. The two motions filed today were drawn up by Assistant Attorney General Fred- crick W. Dauch of this city. They also bore the names of Comfnis- sioner Perry, as successor r-rcceiver for the two closed banks, and State Attorney-d General Edward J. Daly.
 When Market Is Favorable
 If granted by tho court, the orders will enable the receiver to dispose of stocks and bonds when he be- lieves that the market prices arc favorable. Such procedure will en- able the receiver to liquidatc good part of the assets of tho two banks much more rapidly than otherwise.
 Permission to sell stocks and bonds of tho Naugatuck Bank & Trust Go. will make probable an early dividend for depositors of that institution and may even bring fin- al liquidation of assets within not too long @ time. The Naugatuck bank receivership has considerable amount of cash on hand, according to the semi-annual receivers report of last month.

Quadruplets Visited Quintuplets Today
Only Quartet of Children to Grow to Maturity-2l' Year.Old Keys Sisters of Hollis, OkIa., Were
 More Than Thrilled Over Quintet

Callender, Ont, May 1i-CUP)-- The only quadruplets ever to live to maturity, the 2l-year-old Keys sis- ters of Hollis, Okla, today visited the only quintuplets, the Dionne sisters
 we are almost too thrilled to say anything about those lovely babies, said Leota, spokesman for her three sisters, Mona, Mary and Roberta, af- ter they had watched the quinS playing in the Dafoe hospital nur- sery here.
 m Babies Really Swell
 "Thc babies are really swcll,' tn, four sisters agreed.
 The Keys sisters were welcomed at the hospital by Dr. Allan Ro! Dafoe, the quins' physician. Thel gave him a huge sombrero and othel presents, and also brought dolls dressed in blue, for the quirls.
 "They certainly are lovely girls, Dr. Dafoe said after being intro. duced to the quads. "I only hope our quintuplets will be as charming when they grow up."
 President Patrick M. Neff of Bay. Tor university, where the quads arc undergraduates, was in the visiting party.
 Scrap Book Since Birth
 We are really terribly thrilled tc sec the quintuplets," Leota said. We have kept Q scrapbook about them since they were born. and have followed their lives with the great est interest. Dr. Dafoc is a real hero of ours, and after meeting him we arc even more keen than ever about him and his lovely charges"
 Leota said she was the weakest and smallest of the four sisters at birth, so had naturally" taken more personal interest in Marie tiniest of the five Dionno sisters.
 The quads were taken on tour of the hospital by Dr. Dafoe. They were not allowed to handle the ba- bies, but watched them playing through the windows of the nursery

 "Many members who signed the petition to bring the bill to the floor feel honor-bound to vote to dis charge the committee so that 1t can be considered, Byrns said.
 "There will be @ much larger vote for discharging the committee than for adopting the rule permitting six hours of debate," Byfns said. "The bill has no more chance of passage In the house than anything in the worldl. You may gamble safely on that"
