Unlike the Canadian mounties, the

n. Y. Doctor Says
tuberculosis Can
BE Eradicated

Tuberculosis can be eradicated
by proper procedure" DR.. Philip P.
jacobs of the National Tuberculos-
Is Association, New York City, sta
ted on his recent trip to Nebraska.
Dr.. Jacobs came to this state to at
tend a tuberculosis survey confer
ence in York.
In outlining the means of cradle
ating the white plague, DR.. Jacobs
listed six important steps; finding
cases; disqualification and isolation:
supervision of ali known cases in
the community; supervision of
those in contact with victims of
the disease; health education of
adults as well as children, and
money necessary to finance the era
dication program.
DIR. Jacobs stated that tubercul-
osis most often spreads from fam
lily c%enters, so health workers must
find the families where there is
tuberculosis and treat it as a fam
lily problem. Through use of X-ray
and other scientific methods tuber-
%eulosis can be discovered in much
earlier stages than in past years.
BY early discovery there is a pos.
slbiiity of cure and a great reduc.
ton in the cost of treatment.
Referring to tuberculosis being 2
disease, costly to the individual
costly to his family and costly tc
the community, DR.. Jacobs estimat.
cd that tuberculosis is costing Ne.
braska $500, 900! This amount is
based on his estimation of there
being 2.200 cases of Tuberculosis:
in the state and that the approx
mate cost of each case is $4,000.
Realizing he great need that ex.
lists, leaders in the Christmas Sea-
campaign, now being conducted ir
this state BY the Nebraska Tuber.
c~ulosis Association, urge citizen:
to respond generously to the APP
peal. They emphasize that only
through buying and using Christ
mts Seals car the cause be advanc-
led.

EDITORIAL PAGE
CkIdren In Court
By Judge Malcolm Hatfield


In seeking the causes for the
United States having three aid
a half million criminals at large,
those who are interested in crime
prevention are now scanning the
of reading material which
our present day criminals read
when they pass through their ado
descent years.
It has been found that a score
or so years ago youngsters were
permitted to attend motion pic
ture theatres and read books and
magazines which not only dealt
with murders, wars, cattle rustl-
ing and Indian m%assacres, but n
many instances the plots were bas-
ed on morbid and depressing sub
jects.
Even the public schools of TWEEN
tE or thirty years ago assigned
outside reading material which,
while although literature, also por-
trayed violence and morbid condi
lions. Among the assigned read
ings were The Black Cat and Gold
Bug by Poe, Les Miserables' by
Hugo, Oliver Twist and Nicholas
Eicholby by Dickens, The Deer
slayer, Spy, and Last of the Mo-
hieans by Cooper, Tvanhoe' by
Scott, Treasure Island by Steven
son and The White God b. Wall
ace.
Educators and others interested
.inpresent day crime prevention are
wondering whether the reading
material Of several decades ago
might have indirectly stimulated
certain present day criminals,
they were adolescent yo1, his. with \
desire to initiate the deeds of dar-
ing which their favorite characters
performed.

The Special Session and Business

When President Roosevelt
called the special session Of
Congress the country was vir
tually IN a boom stage. as com
pared with today's conditions.
Stocks were at high levels. Re
employment was going ahead
on a comfortable scale Though
unfavOrable signs existed. they
were apparently insignificant,
and almost everything pointed
to a highly prosperous win
ter season.
Now, in two months, the pic
ture has changed completely.
Stocks are holding stubbornly
at levels close to the October
lows, IN spite of occasional MP
ward flurries. With few ex-
captions, industrial production
continues to sag. Unemploy-
ment is increasing alarming. IT

An Echo
From Ny Den
BY S. E. Gilbert
BY S. E. Gilbert

As / sit here in my Den with pen
in hand meditating as it were, there
is paramount in my mind a fathers
day service held at Claire Chapel
M. E. church Sunday night and a
banquet held at the Northside Y.
w. C. A. Monday evening at which
the duties of the adult toward
youth was indeed exploded.
At the fathers day program we
found your correspondent serving
as the principle speaker, and in the
course of his address we find him
challenging the fathers of Omaha
to prove their rights to be called
father, Through their action to
create an economic opportunity for
their children by directing their
dollars into an avenue through
! which they shall be able to e a
return in the form of employment
for their sons and daughters. those
precious beings whom they sacrifice
to give an education and then drop
them to face the cruel world. He
wildly pointed out that in the city
of Omaha there we're 10000 Ne
groes and placing their minimum
expenditure at the sun of SLIPS per
day would total approximately
sic, 200 900 per year. He climaxed
his analysis stating that if they
would spend this amount with the
Negro merchants and those who
show their appreciation for their
patronage the worry hat we have
in regards to the future of our
youth would be greatly diminished.
Black Americans let US become
aroused for that state of indiffer.
ence and watch that hard earned
dollar that we spend for the neces-
sites of life. When we need bread
let us stop and think if the COM
pany that puts out the bread we
arc about to purchase employ Ne
grocs, and with this same chain of
thought follow through in the
purchase of milk, coffee, coal.

Of the Midwestern Baptist conven-
ton and j. Westbrook Mcpherson,
president of the Omaha Council of
the National Negro Congress,
speaking at a banquet sponsored
by the Autumn Leaf club of Plea
SAINT Green Baptist church, Mon
day night in which they stressed
tie need of the church to be toler-
with youth and to build an in
c%entive calculated to draw the
church members of tomorrow into
its fold. 1t was also wildly brought
cut that the time is now at hand
when the Negro must if he hopes
to loosen himself from the chain
of economic slavery, begin to
build an economic structure of his
own through individual and cooper
ative efforts there by creating an
opening of employment in enter
prises of u own for those who
arc to be the men and women of
tomorrow, those we claim to love.
Greater love has no man than that

may live.
