A. B. Phillips Is Cooperating with
 I. B. Association

A. B. Phillips, Superintendent ot the Juneau Public Schools, an- nounced today that all children ot the Juneau Public Schools from kindergarten to post graduates, whose parents are willing and who will sign the consent blanks, will be given the tuberculosis test some time in January. 1939 These tests are not compulsory but are given as a service to the school, the commun- itv and the Territory, to say nothing of the benefit to the child and par ents. These tuberculin test clinics conducted throughout Alaska by the Department of Public Health are partially financed by the annual sale of Christmas Seals.
 MT. Phillips stated that I've can not say to ourselves that there is no tuberculosis here. That is some thing we do not know. It may appear that the child seems strong and healthy - he may not show any symptoms of this greatest of all di- seases but he may be the very one who has the disease Tuberculosis spreads from one person tc the other
 No Cause for Alarm
 He also stated that there is lit tie or no cause for alarm. Medical science can now test you or your child and can determine whether or not you have the disease, Tuber- culosis is curable but in order to affect a cure it is necessary to dis cover the disease in it's early stages. For this reason school children everywhere are being tested where parental consent is given. Juneau Public Schools are fortunate in that they now are offered the test and consent blanks have been sent home by all children. No child will be given the test without parents con- sent.
 Test Is Simple
 The doctors tell us that the test is simple and harmless. There is little or no pain connected with ad- ministering it--comparable to a

NEW YORK, April There
will be blood on the moon tonight
as Fred Apostoli. revelling in the
fond belief that he is the un-
crowned middleweight champion,
squares off against Glen Lee, who
gave him quite an argument in
February, in a 15-round Set-to at
Madison Square Garden.
In the last encounter between
the two gladiators, the officials
gave Fred the nod, but the fans
greeted the verdict with resound-
ing boos, for Lee had given at
least as much as he had received
during the II CORY rounds.
The San Francisco bellhop
Chats ApostolD has much to

Corbett, 3d., on the coast less than
a month ago. To regain his lost
prestige he will have to kayo Lee

But the young man from Ne.

showing last time out, intends to
pick up not where he left, but
where Young Corbett left off on

Plans for a $1,OOO,OoO apartment

Council in acting on the applica-

was before the City Council last

The apartment development was
planned for a 14-acre site bounded
by Washington Ave-, Glebe Rd.
and Ashby st. It was to house 800
families.
Residents of the area objected
to rezoning the land to permit
erection Of the apartment houses
at the meeting of the council last

Gil delayed action on all applica-

MARSHALLS BAN
CAREER WOES
International News Photo

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Therell
be NO more career trouble" in the
marital life of Everett Marshall.
His bride said so yesterday when
she and the Metropolitan baritone
arrived from Fort Worth, Texas,
where she married Marshall last
Friday.
"Everett's happiness is the
main thing" said 20-year-old
Edna Strong Marshall, who
danced with Rudy Vallee's Or
chestra. my dancing is i'm
portant to me, but marriage is
much more important"
Marshall blamed career trouble"
for his marital difficulties with
Caroline Segrera Marshall, his
first wife, who had threatened to
have him arrested if he came to
New York. She contends his
Texas divorce, which he obtained
last February, is invalid in this
State.
80 far as I know, the New
York courts have never passed
on the validity of my. divorce"
he said. Anyhow, my attorneys
have advised me that the Texas
decree is absolutely air-tight."
The new Mrs. Marshall was born
in Cuba, the daughter of United
States Army major. The first was
a Cuban soprano whom Marshall
met when he was studying singing
in Milan, Italy.
