T.B. Biggest Death
Cause in State
Disease Takes l Every
IL Hours; Plan Reduc-
ton in Rate

The Benton County Tuberculosis
League held its general meeting on
Wednesday with the president, Mrs.
e. j. Brand, In charge. The meet
ing was held at the county nurses
office in Prosser. Mrs. B. B. Buch-
anan, executive secretary for the
Washington tuberculosis Associa-
ton, was the main speaker. Mrs.
Buchanan emphasized that since
tuberculosis is known preventable
disease 1t could be irradicated. Areas
are being formulated throughout the
u. 8. to further eradicate this
dreaded long illness.
In Washington 822 persons died of
tuberculosis in 1896. That means one
person died every eleven hours. OF
this number 200 were from the ages
Of 1890, or every 18th death from tu-
berculosis is q youth Of our country.
Seventy-nine deaths fell into the S.
60 age group. This Is q high per-
centage and similar data comes
from other states; however, this
condition can be explained first by
prolonged sanitarium care and sec
ond, deprivations during the de-
preston to benefit the young in the
family circle.
The tuberculosis rate for this year
in the state was so deaths per 100,-
600 population, march forward to
be sure from 1910 when 104 deaths
per 100000 population was recorded.
This disease is still high among
communicable disease deaths with
following figures being recorded for
1896:
Influenza 1876. syphilis 15s, En-
cephilitis sleeping sickness) 40.
measles 80, meningitis Is, poliomye-
litis (infantile paralysis) II. typhoid
fever IA. scarlet fever -, diphtheria
6, hmall pox 2, chicken pox 2.
Mrs. Ethel Van Syckle reported
that all teachers, bus drivers and
janitors in Benton County received
the Mantoux skin test and five had
chest X-rays.
The Mantoux skin test shows in
lection Is mos. previous to the x
ray, which in turn shows infection
Is to 10 mos. before physical SYM
toms are paramount.
BY such a preventative program
as this the individual has three
years start on this dreaded disease
and can prevent actually becoming
sick.
Reports were given by Mrs. Frank
Clark, publicity chairman and the
county nurse.
The League voted to give 102
books on Health Activities to the
teachers in Benton County. For the
teachers in Benton county for the
grammar students. Also they made
as their objective for the Christmas
Seal Sale of 1887 the purchasing Of
a movie picture machine and films
for use in Health Education OF
Benton County.

D. Assessment
Values Scored

W. I. swanton, secretary of the
Columbia Heights Citizens Asso-
citation, today charged in a letter
to the House District Committee,
that the District is failing to COM
ply with the law requiring full
value assessments on property.
Explaining that he has made a
careful investigation of the situa,
ton, Swanton pointed out that
population here has increased "a
per cent in the past four years,
while during the same period "the
assessed value of land and i'm
provements have been substan.
TALLY reduced" He added:
Gin the case of large number
Of apartments the reduction has
averaged IA per cent on land
and 8 per cent on buildings. L
have not heard Of any CORES
pOnding reduction in rents"
He suggested that if the proper
ties were assessed at full value
there would be no need of any
increase in the real estate rate.

IN REVOLT

A new adjournment date for
Congress was set today by a group
far more powerful than any polit-
ical leader ever developed in this
country.
The group is composed of the
wives of members of the House
and Senate, and instead of &C.
cepting the tentative goal of Au-
gust IS set by Congressional lead
ers at the time for adjournment,
the wives dictated the deadline at
August Z.
All they will allow time for is
enactment of the bill now being
prepared by Senate Judiciary Com
mittee dealing with the United
States courts. After that, they
say, husbands must go home.
The movement is being led by
Mrs. John N. Garner, wife of the
Vice President, and many of the
Congressional wives are falling
into line.

Ken MURRAY
Says:

Just some advice to guys who
are going on their two weeks
vacation:
l. Simply because you and
three other tenOrs just arrived
at resort, don't think CHERRY
Blossom Lane" will be new to
the rest of the folks there.
2. The best way to get sun
burned is to lie three hours on
the beach in a one piece bathing
suit. For sunstroke, add one
and One.half hours.
3. At most summer resorts
the mosquitoes are big enough
to be slapped with tennis rae
quetS.
4. On picture postcards Of the
hotel where you're stopping, al.
ways let "X" represent your
cOmmOdiOuS front room, even
though you're sleeping in the
back yard in a tent.
5. Don't walk past an autOmO-
bile'S exhaust while wearing
white flannel pants.
6. Even though you're a rib
bon clerk so weeks in the year,
worry over how Steel and Gen.
eral Electric open every morning
you're away.
I. Don't think stunning on
a ukulele at 1880 p. m. will

DISTRICT DAY.
TO BE LAST
OF SESSION
Adoptions, BARRIERS and
Liquor Law Affected
In Other Proposals

The House again today was to
be urged to approve the Kennedy
bill to permit the District govern.
ment to borrow from the Federal
Treasury during the present fiscal
year.
The measure will be brought up
by Representative Vincent L. Pal"
misano CD, of Maryland, chair"
man of the House District Com.
mittee, on what is expected to be
the last District Day" of the pres
ent session of Congress.
Three other local measures also
are scheduled to be called up by
Palmisano. One would compel in"
vestigations before adoptions could
be approved by the courts, an"
other would regulate barber shops
and the third would alter liquor
laws.
Victory Is Forecast
Twice before the House has
registered its disapproval Of the
District borrowing bill, but Dis
trict Committee leaders believe
the large majority of members,
since the last time the bill was
up, have realized the seriousness
of the situation.
A similar provision is contained
in the District tax bill, as approved
by the Senate last week, but Palini"
sano feels that measure may be-
come deadlocked in conference.
Therefore, he will point out, even
If the District Commissioners do
raise the real estate rate in order
to meet the 100000 deficit, it
still will be necessary for the Dis"
trict to borrow from the Federal
Treasury between now and Sep
TENDER, when the taxes begin to
come in, in order to meet current
pay rolls.
Liquor Changes Sought
Virtually all members Of the
District Committee are prepared
to back the Marylander up in his
fight on the floor today.
One of the provisions of the
liquor amendment bill would per-
NIT the drinking of hard liquor at
counters, instead of compelling
the customer to be seated at q
table. Another would permit ap-
peals of those whose licenses are
revoked or suspended to take their
cases to the courts, instead of to
the Commissioners only. The third
change seeks to prevent the i'm.
portation of large quantities Of
taX-free liquor into the District,
