more elephants than there are tele-

one elephant to about every It's peo-

one telephone to every 5000 persons.

entirely fair, since the population Of

CREDIT OF ERADICATION OF
TB GOES TO CHRISTMAS SEALS

Predicting greater progress in the
eradication of tuberculosis in the flu
ture, Carl j. Smith, of Seattle, vices
president of the Washington Tuber-
culosis Association, gives due credit
to the annual sale of Christmas seals
for making the necessary educational
campaign possible
Gas the season for the sale OF
Christmas Seals approaches, said
Mr.. Smith, "we can look back VITA
a good deal of satisfaction on the
progress made toward the eradication
of tuberculosis within our state, and
v hen we stop to consider that the ed
ucational work carried on by the vol
untary county leagues is all financed
and paid for by the sale of our little
Christmas health messengers, it be-
comes truly remallsu ole how mighty
and important is the investment OF
our pennies in these emblems.
"The method developed over the
ears" continued tfr. Smith, GOT
bringing the seals through the mail
to thousands of people who have an
interest in the health of their com
munity, has proved not only conven-
lent for the purchaser but has greatly
increased knowledge about tuberculo
sis as well as extended the opportun-
ity to buy.
"I'he people of the State of Wash
ington," he continued" have hereto
fore generously supported our Christ
mas Seal sale and with their contin-
ued generosity we can look for even
greater progress towards our goal
in the future than we have in the
past"
