Doctor Henry Vaughn Issues
Report On T. B. Situation


Recent figures compiled by the
Detroit Department of Health
show that more than one-third Of
the residents In the downtown dis
trict bounded by Woodward Avenue
and Dequindre Streets. have had
tuberculin tests from their own
physicians. This very encourag-
ing report and proves. according to
DR.. Henry F. Vaughn. Commission
er Of Health. that Detroit residents
are In earnest in their effort to
eradicate tuberculosis. A fine res
ponse to this program has come
from the colored people. says DR..
Vaughan. and 1t Is evident that the
next few years will show a decid-
ed decrease in the number of cases
and deaths.
Since the beginning OF the cam
paign. 1883 persons have receiv-
ed tuberculin tests and 1895 have
had X-rays OF the chest Among
these people, 326 were found TO
have active tuberculosis and 12o
were suspicious.
The encouraging part Of this pro-
gram. he says, Is the fact that more
than 40 percent OF the active cases
found are in an early stage when
they will recover in a comparative
ly short time and have not been
spreaders OF the disease to others.
The savings from finding the early
case OF tuberculosis are tremend-
Gus and not easily estimated. Some
OF the very evident savings will be
found in the fact that the cost 10
the community will be considerably
less for their care because OF the
necessity for a shorter stay In the
hospital The second saving comes
from the fact that they were dis
covered early enough and did not
become spreaders Of the disease.
The third saving. which is the most
difficult 10 compute comes from
the prevention OF loss OF money
and happiness TO the individual.
These savings do not reckon with
the saving OF lives and the proven
ton OF death which might occur
had they progressed TO later stages
In the disease.
DR.. Vaughan says that much
credit for the results OF the cam
paign TO date can be given TO the
fine cooperation given by the Ne
gro physicians in the city. by min
listers, and by the Daniel II. Will
liams Health Guild. all working
together TO eradicate this serious
menace to the people.
The nurses who are doing house
to house visiting have advanced
north to the district bounded on
the south by the boulevard and on
the north by Highland Park. This
area is known as the Oakland dis
trict and the same intensive work

the downtown district will be fol-
lowed.

ROAD BUILDERS

AS long as there are drivers,
there will be speed and reckless
ness, according to DR.. S. S. Stein
berg, dean of the University of
Maryland engineering school, who
yesterday urged members of the
American Road Builders Associa-
ton to educate the public to the
need Of building safety into roads.
DR.. Steinberg spoke before the
annual May meeting of the as
ISOLATION in the Willard Hotel, as
serting that modern cars are
built for speed and that roads
must be built to meet the present.
day driving tempo.
Pointing out that while only IS
per cent Of the nations traffic
deaths are directly traceable to
faulty highway construction, DR..
Steinberg said that the percent
age was one that could be reduced
to q minimum. Public education,
he said, has made favorable prog
reSs in the other accident cause
groups, while the necessity of safe
highway construction has been a.
lowed to take a back seat in the
public's mind.
The meeting closes today with
q golf outing at the Congressional
Country Club and the setting Of

FIRST SITDOWN

PHILADELPHIA. March To-
(UP)-The first Sit-down strike
on record occurred in the United
States and Was due 10 cold wealth
or, according TO the weekly trade
magazine. Automotive Industries.
The widely-hcld opinion that
such strikes were a European I'M
portatiOn is erroneous, editors OF
the magazine declared after u
survey.
On january 20. 1886, tire
builder employed by the FircStonc
rubber interests became involved
in an argument with u nOn-unlon
worker. When the union man was
discharged. 500 other union work
.ers went on strike, the magazine
said.
The men started out Of the fac
tory late in the afternoon on a
day when the temperature was
near zero and bitter north wind
was blowing. according to the
magazine. They decided it would
be more comfortable waiting in
side the plant. so they went back
TO their machines, sat down, and
did nothing.
Finding il more comfortable in
side than walking q picket line,
they remained all night. Incom-
ing workers joined them. Tho sit
down lasted three days, and was
settled by arbitration.
At that time union leaders
criticized the new method of
striking, but its use became gen
eral when workers realized that
il provided a ready means for a
few men to hold an entire plant.
the magazine reported.
II was from publicity connect
cd with later sit-downs in Good
rich plants. according to the mag
azine. that French and other Eu-
ropean workers first learned Of
the new strike plan.
