TUBERCUL|N TESTS
FOR STUDENTS SET
High School Pupils Will Be
Examined-HeaIth De-
partment in CHARGE.

1uberculin tests, financed by funds
from the Christmas seal sale of the
District tuberculosis Association, will
begin at am. tomorrow among senior
students of Mckinley, Eastern Dun
bar and Cardozo High Schools. The
tests will continue until an opportu-
nifty has been given all senior high
students of the city to take the test
which detects the presence of tuber-
cular infection.
The association points out that
these students fall within the age
group from which the disease takes
Its greatest toll of victims.
This Is the third year the tests have
been given. They will be held, as in
the past, under the direction of the
Health Department. DR.. Joseph A.
Murphy, chief medical inspector of
the public schools, will supervise to-
morrows tests.
The tests, to be made only with the
written permission of the pupils par
entS or guardian, are simple and pain-
less. AS described by the association,
. drop of prepared liquid is placed on
the outer surface of the skin. If a
positive reaction is obtained-that is,
If the spot touched by the liquid turns
red within few days-tuberculosis
germs are present somewhere in the
body.
Students whose reaction is positive
Will be given free X-ray examinations
to determine the progress of the dis
ease, thus paving the way for preven-
Eve and curative measures.
Meantime, a number of the citv's
hotels began placing seals or repro
ductions on their dinner menus hoping
to stimulate their sale. Although no
cash totals are available as yet on the
sale OF seals, seal headquarters esti-
mated the receipts for the first three
days of the campaign as considerably
ahead Of the same period last year.
