Buy Christmas Seals
To Fight tuberculosis

BisseH in Delaware in 1907. She
raised $4,000 toward building a
hospital for children sick with tu-
berculosls. In 1910 the National
tuberculosis association took this
idea up and made it a nationwide
thing. So buy your Christmas
seals as generously as circum-
stances will permit.
Of course, other factors have
operated to bring about the decline
in the incidence of tuberculosis.
The general nutrition Of the world
is better than it was so years ago.
Food is more wholesome, it has
better government supervision, 1t
is distributed more evenly, and
there are not the ups and downs
in the food supply which used to-
occur in the course of year. Nor
any more do we have perlods OF
famine. If the whole world goes
to war we might expect a period
of famine, and we also might ex-
pect a tremendous increase in the
percentage Of cases of tuberculosis
During the World war in countries
where food rationing was neces-
sary, the incidence Of tuberculosis
went up, as might be expected.
Certainly a very important fea-
ture, which it seems to me cannot
be disregarded in preventing the
spread of tuberculosis, is the cam
paign which was inaugurated
against splitting in public places
many years ago. I remember very
wildly the first lesson l ever
learned in preventive medicine was
in Colorado Springs. and although
I was quite young child 1 can
see quite wildly the picture OF q
Young man coming out on a porch
and coughing and expectorating on
the ground. He was evidently q
consumptive, as they were called
in those days, and the wife Of q
doctor who was present, gave me
a little lecture on how wicked such
a performance was; that the spu-
tum would dry and the germs
which cause tuberculosis would
fly around and be breathed into
other lungs.

from foreign soils are examined for
deadly pests to prevent further inva-
sion and destruction.
In early America there were only
two important plant crops-corn and
tobacco. The Bureau of Plant In
dustry constantly introduces new
plants. tests them for survival and
productiveness on our soil and cli-
mate, experiments with new varieties
by crossing and grating, and tests old
and new varieties for disease resist
ance, improved quality and better
production.
ONE of the early tasks of the de-
partment was to collect crop sta
tistics. The Bureau of Agricultural
Economics still maintains this service,
which now includes all economic
phases of griculture-marketing data,
taxation and credit. Trading on ex-
changes all over the country in grain,
cotton. mill feed. butter. eggs, pota-
toes and rice is regulated by the Com
modify Exchange Administration to
prevent harmful market practices and
sudden and unreasonable price fluc-
tuations.
Radio and newspaper weather re-
ports are supplied by the departments
Weather Bureau. With the aid of 200
field stations, the bureau collects rain
fall and temperature recordings and
issues storm. forest-fire, frost and
flood warnings. These data, primar-
lily for agriculture, are also supplied
to aviation, commerce and navigation.
Destitute farmers, wondering where
the next months rent is coming from,
are aided by the Farm Security Ad-
ministration, successor to Resettle-
ment. Loans are made to farm ten
ants to enable them to become farm
owners. Grants are made for re-
storing and improving living condi-
tions of low-income families, and
farmers on poor land are relocated on
good farm land in better homes.
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, through marketing
agreements with handlers of farm
commodities, aims to improve and
stabilize market and economic con-
ditions.

1t used to be love that made the
world go round. Now it's the no.

When the ammeter fails to show
charge, it usually happens that one Of
the brushes of the generator has jump
ed away from the commuter. 1t is
an easy matter to free the brush or
its holder and restore action to normal,
but your service man will also want to
find out why the brush acted that way.
He will rightly suspect that there is =
high spot on the commutator, which
causes the brush to be forced away.
One proof of this is constant sparkling
at the commutator. Another is un-
steady action of the ammeter pointer
when the engine is running evenly.
Why 1t Needs Checking.
am often asked just what there is
about the distributors action that calls
for such comparatively frequent atten-
ton. Why should this small unit,
which is under. no special strain. be
subject to so many ills. and why doesn't
it function over long periods of time
without losing its efficiency?
The distributor is a bit deceiving.
1t works much harder than it appears
to be. Constant rotation of its shaft
causes wear on the breaker arm rub
bing block. This changes the breaker
point setting, invariably affecting the
engine adversely. Then there is the
actual wear of the breaker points
themselves, due to the action of the
electrical current passing between
them. Here the efficiency of the con-
denser has much to do with the rate
of wear on these points. Finally, there
is the tendency the distributor has to
change its position, with the effect OF

the slaughtered animals are carefully

contagious diseases which cost the
public millions of dollars each year are
being stamped out through knowledge
developed by this bureau.

starch from sweet potatoes, wine from

cane and various new commodities
from soy beans and other farm prod

An important phase of rural life
is the rural road system which IA
cilitates transportation of products
to market and brings the farm home
nearer the city. The Bureau Of Pub
lie Roads, in cooperation with State
highway departments, builds approx
imately 10000 miles of highways each
year, including all national park
roads. There are. today. about 221,-
600 miles of roads on which the De-

Fire Led to Idea.
Some of the remedies used by serv-
ice men are not designed for their
own protection, nor for that of the
car. A case in point is that of using
gasoline to free sticky generator
brush. One experienced mechanic
had done this trick hundreds of
times without apparent danger. When
he tried it on my car the generator
burst into flames. But it gave him
an idea. A little fluid from the fire
extinguisher would have limbered up
the brushes just as effectively and
with no possible chance of fire.
Mechanic Joe Speaking:
TITS quite natural that motorists
who have paid the penalty for having
the valves set too close should go to
the opposite extreme of allowing too
much tappet clearance Yet there Is
plenty of room for damage if the
valves do not have sufficient working
space.
Excessive clearance causes the
valves to open late and close early.
This is sure way to waste power
and increase the consumption of fuel.
This matter of clearance is more i'm
portant than it has ever been be-
cause engines have never been as ac-
curately adjusted as they are today.
And important also is the matter of
observing the manufacturers speci-
fications as to the engine tempera-
ture when the tappets are adjusted
If the engine is supposed to be hot
at the time the clearances are checked
it should be hot, not merely warm

A LETTER from a worried
~ mother asks me what l
think about the propriety Of col
lege boys and girls going on trips
together-such as driving home
for the holidays from quite a dis
tance, or going to football games
so far away that the trip involves
staying at hotels.
Now in the first place, what l
think, and what Is infallibly cor
hect, may be two entirely differ
INT things. I do not set myself
up as being the ultimate criterion
of taste. 1 merely try to smooth
some of the rough places in the
travels of my friends. Fashions
in etiquette change just as much
as they do in hats, and sometimes
with as little reason.
Fifteen, or even ten years ago,
our parents would have been hor-
rified at the thought Of young
men and women of college age
going unchaperoned on overnight
trips. Even in the wild days of
upheaval and unrest in the early
twenties, when the Jazz Age was
at its height, the question Of
driving half way across the states
with no chaperon seldom came
up. Now it is becoming quite an

this season? So naive are these
patterns, often huge flowers
posed against a stark white back
ground, that they achieve the
height of sophistication when
used for the slim gowns of a mod
ern elegante.
The striking dress pictured on
this page is Of a very fine waffle
weave pique, a fabric about which
the most important designers of
this country and France are par
ticularly enthusiastic. It has body
enough to tailor beautifully, 1t Is
cool and delightfully."- fresh for the
summer season, and 1t takes color
in a most brilliant and satisfac-
tory way. The design shown here
is Of huge modernistic red flowers
with bright blue flowers backing
them up, and the effect on the
white ground is dazzlingly lovely.

accepted event. My younger sis
ter drove out from New York
last summer with three of her
young friends. They saw a great
deal Of the country that they
would not have seen if they had
had to come by train; they shared
expenses, and all saved money,
and they had a healthy, pleasant
trip in exchange for what might
have been a stuffy, hot train ride.
AS to one couple doing this
same sort of thing Il can not
say that I approve so highly Of
that. And the only reason I can
find for my disapproval is that
it does not 'look right" That is
perhaps a silly reason, but one
that has pretty well ruled my life.
You know yourself that there are
some things that you don't have
to think twice about-and others
that for no apparent reason make
you feel wrong about them. This
is one Of them.
For two couples to drive to a
far-away football game, or other
intersectional sport, I think is
perfectly all right-basing my
approval, Of course, on the par
ents' acceptance of the young
men doing the driving. Too often
this sort Of thing leads to reck-
less driving and bad accidents.

THIS season bids now to be
known as the one which COM
pletely glorified the peasant in
fashion. Begun last year with the
world of chic intent upon Tyro-
lean designs and motifs, the idea
has been carried further by the
well-publicized cruises of impor-
tant people along the Dalmatian
coast, and now all the designers
have taken up the peasant theme.
Most of their originations are a
very far cry, indeed, from the
simple costumes which were their
inspiration, but the influence is
unmistakable.

chief which is prevalent not only
in Dalmatia but in other southern
countries. Who can deny that its
