the treaty is ambiguous and might

A health center in the Northwest
section of the city similar to one
now under construction In South
west Washington and research into
methods to reduce the mortality rate
of persons of middle age or older
were local health needs outlined by
DR.. Daniel l.. Seckinger, assistant
health officer of the District, in an
address yesterday afternoon before
the District Federation of Women's
Clubs at the Roosevelt Hotel
DR.. Seckinger spoke with Col.
Eugene r. Whitmore, physician
who discussed cancer control on a
program arranged by the depart
ment of public welfare of the feder-
alton. The addresses followed the
morning business session, when the
federation adopted a number of res
olutions on pending local and ma
tional legislation.
In discussing health needs here
DR.. Seckinger also expressed the
opinion the Health Department has
facilities which hospitals and pri-
vate health institutions might use
more than in the past"
Investigates New Methods.
He described the department as
organization which must not only
care for the needs of the medically
INDECENT but which must be con-
stantly alert to community needs
and to modern advances in medical
science. In telling how the depart
ment must investigate new methods
in medical science he called atten-
ton to sulphopiridine. the new drug
recently made available to physi-
clans for the treatment of pneu-
monia, and declared the depart
ment already is planning to use
drug IN the care Of the medically
INDECENT.
In the last five years he stated
the general death rate in the Dis
trict has decreased by approximate
ly four persons per 1000 population,
which means, he pointed out, that
approximately 2,5000 lives were
saved" in the year 1888 over 1888.
Studies indicate. however, he
added, that there has been no re-
duction Of the death rate of persons
Of middle age or older, and pointed
out that the Health Department
must study the conditions which
undermine old age. In addition, he
stressed the Importance of estab-
fishing convalescent homes, which,
he said, operated at half the cost
of hospital treatment. In the Dis
trict, he continued, there are y
beds in convalescent homes where
there should be approximately 300.
Expect to Reduce Mortality.
Col. Whitmore, who described
cancer as the second major cause of
death in the United States, declared
that cancer experts expect to do
much in reducing the mortality rate
In the upper age brackets.
Cancer Of the digestive tract, he
continued, is responsible for fully
half of all the cancers and urged
the Importance of preventative
methods and its treatment in the
early stages.
AS far as it is known cancer is
not contagious, he declared, but
it's preventable.
AS chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Womens Field
Army, which opened headquarters
last week to raise funds for cancer
control and to educate the public,
Col. Whitmore took occasion to in
troduce Mrs. Lloyd w. Biddle, State
commander of the Women's Field
Army. She is director to the gen.
eral federation from the District
federation.
