figured that for every death from
tuberculosis there are five active
cases. From these figures it can
be easily seen what a loss in
wages results to the State from
this disease.
This year when DR.. Parramore,
who was some time before reap
pointed as director of the Monroe
County Health Unit and Com
munity Clinic, tested the children
in the high schools to determine
the number who had, at some time
of their lives taken tuberculosis
germs into their bodies, he found
16 white children at Division
Street high who gave positive re.
actions. This was a small per
cent considering the 1872 children
We're given the test. There were
62 colored children out of 226
given the tests at Douglass colored
school, who had positive reactions.
All cases found positive were
given special chest examination
by DR.. Parramore, but no active
cases were found. Nevertheless
all positive reactors later will have
an X-ray examination of the chest,
for it is possible to detect early
tuberculosis with the aid of tho
X-ray when it is impossible to dis.
cover it by physical examination.

which sea level atmospheric con-

tudes up to six miles. This elimi-
mates the effect of altitude on
pilots and avoids perils of mental
numbness, confusion and loss of
judgment. A sealed cabin plane,
on a recent trip from California
to Ohio, easily demonstrated its
ability at an altitude of $4,000
feet, where it would be out of the
