DEATH RATE IS
NOW DECREASING

The tuberculosis death rate has been
steadily decreasing for the past forty
years, and one of the reasons for the
decline in deaths is the improved
technique of discovering cases in their
early stages, it was stated by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association.
early Diagnosis" has been a life
saver to thousands, making cures pos
sible in the early stages Of disease
before it was too late.
tuberculosis is an insidious disease
and oftentimes attacks the body caus-
ing active illness and gives little or
no indication of it's presence. This is
the reason why periodical physical
examinations are advisable, especial
ly if one has been a contact of an
active case.
There are, however, certain "dan-
ger signals" that sometimes accom-
pany the disease which might indi-
cate the presence of tuberculosis, it
was reported. These are: a cough,
chronic Indigestion, loss of weight and
appetite, fever, fatigue, night sweats
and the expectoration of blood.
Any of these signs should send a
person to their physician in order that
, the trouble may be discovered immed-
lately for it might be tuberculosis,
|, and postponting the visit to the doctor
; might be inviting disaster. The fol-
lowing true case history is illustrative
, of this.
"John Doe was .twenty-one. He had
a steady job as a clerk in a shipping
room. AS far as he knew, he had
never been exposed to tuberculosis and
he had had no serious illness.
"About year ago John began to
have a dry cough which often kept
him awake at night. Then he began
to be irritable, to pick at his food in
stead of eating heartily as usual, and
) to lose weight slowly. A neighbor
with a sympathetic ear listened to
his complaints and suggested bottle
of bad tasting medicine. John kept
on working and playing baseball, al
though he felt more and more tired
and his little cough began to get
worse. Nothing dramatic happened !:
he merely became thinner and weaker
gradually.
"After ten months, he had to give
up his job. A doctor was called in
to see him. He was at once sent to
a sanatorium after an X-ray showed
one lung to be badly diseased"
! If this young man had gone to a
doctor when the danger signals" first
appeared, an advanced and dangerous
condition might have been avoided.
Because he didn't he must face long
road to recovery.
"The slogan of the tuberculosis as
sociations for the early diagnosis cam
paigh is Help Find Early Tubercu
lois'," said William B. Matthews, man.
aging director of the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association. eff everyone
one will help it will not be long be-
fore tuberculosis can be brought un-
der control, and the disease will no
longer take 10000 lives in this nation
each year.

about it. In this way the contacts

Rough Time for Riders Likely
As UnschooIed Horses Show
At Fort Myer Tomorrow

Unless there is sharp improve
ment before tomorrow night, the
boys who arrange the jumps are
going to be mighty busy when the
Fort Myer show opens at 7:30 be-
cause most of the horses competing
are far from top form.
When the entry list closed last
night it was evident that quantity
would exceed present quality. While
numerous horses were schooled over
the various courses which will be
used in the show, only a handful
showed anything Ike their best
form. Young and veteran riders
alike had trouble staying on, much
less getting their mounts over the
jumps and a few bit the dust
couple of times.
Susan Rinehart, who will be on
the first Of two teams representing
Arlington Hall in the student team
jumping class, twice tried to take
a young and inexperienced colt
named Hillbilly over the jumps and
twice she came a hard cropper. A
total stranger to the Fort Myer
Riding Hall, Hillbilly acted like a
contrary kid being forced to take
bitter medicine and judging from
his efforts Arlington Hall will have
a tough time winning the Challenge
trophy the school put into competi-
ton three years ago.
Rough Ride for Marsh.
Just to show that it didn't make
any difference who was on his back,
he almost tossed James Marsh, a
young, but veteran rider. Jimmy
stayed on, but that was about all,
because he failed to get the jumper
around in anything like good form.

we'll to give hope that some will per-
form as expected. Capt Charles B.
McClelland's Smacko, which sur
prised by winning the jumper cham
pionship at the shows last winter,
didn't let the fact that he had done
little jumping in the past month
stop him from showing a neat
round. Another to take the train
ing in stride was Fred Hughes, jr.'s
Carrie Knight, the chestnut mare
that won the handicap jumpers
class last December while under the
tutlege of Sam Bogeley.

University of Maryland in the STU

Knight and let a teammate, Sam

First Show for G. w. Team.

to win the Challenge trophy, the
winner of which will not be decided
until the March show. They are

nights schooling showed that they
had a fair chance of upsetting the
dope.
Probably the most interesting
team Is that of three girls and a
boy, each 13 years of age. Ann

highly among the younger riding set
