Tuberculosis Takes
Number OF Deaths
Every Year
Christmas Seol Sole
In County Will Aid
Relentless Fight

The average person Is much more
likely to die of tuberculosis than to
be killed by an automobile accident,
according to a comparison released
by Mrs. r. M. Gwin, in charge Of the
Christmas Seal sale in Holmes Coun-
ty, who says:
In the past five years 2074 per-
IONS in Mississippi were killed By
automobiles, but 6,206 by tuberculo-
sis. That this disease can be con-
trolled is shown by reduction in its
death toll from 2798 in 1918 to ex-
actly 1900 last year, four less T. B.
deaths every day now than 20 years
ago. But all tuberculosis deaths are
p~reventable. and those 1900 annual
deaths present a severe indictment
for not having prevented them"
It was said that heart disease,
cancer, nephritis, cerebral hemor-
rhage, pneumonia and accidents (alI
classes combined) now take a greater
toll Of life in the general population
than tuberculosis, but mostly among
the aged, while T. B. remains the
greatest foe Of youth. For example,
among young women between the
ages Of 20 and 80, the most impor-
tant of an human groups, tubercu-
losis causes more deaths than the
above six killers combined.
$50 the fight against T.. B. is not
finished" the statement adds, "and
it is q fight that ncern everyone.
Besides aid to needy sufferers, case
finding clinics and other preventive
measures, education and more edu-
cation is needed. That Is why,
through the Christmas Seal campaign,
give every person the opportun-
to help in preventing these need
less Deaths"

PIERCE STOPS SHOW

The eminent Jan Peerce joined
the forces Of the National Opera
Company last night at the Be.
1aSco to lend the virtues of a fin
iShed vocal art to a performance
that had many lesser virtues.
The opera was la Traviata, -
which joins much gay music to a
tragic story and ends by pleasing
the multitude.
Peerce stopped the show with
his account Of the second acts
aria, no new experience for him.
Acting, even in the limited oper-
attic sense is, however, still a de-
partment of the art in which he
adventures tentatively. He has ex-
cellent collaboration from Januce
Davenport in the lugubriouS last
act. This young woman sings
with a wealth of feeling but tends
to abuse voice Of natural sweet
ness.
Anthony Nell, the elder Ger
mont of the cast, finds his ex-
cellent baritone similarly ham
pered by technical problems. Yet
he. too, shared in the success of
the evening as did Raoul Carrere.
The baton of Otto Luhmann did
all that could be expected Of the
choral and symphonic forces
which are not Of distinguished
caliber.
