At the January meeting Of the
Lord Baltimore P. T. A., President
Elisha Steele introduced G. Taggart
Evans, executive secretary of the
Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis Society,
who told the group that the Red
Cross seal sale started in Delaware
thirty-three years ago. Since that
time our state has continued to be in
the vanguard of tuberculosis eTadi-
cation. Mr.. Evans went on to say
that the mortality has been reduced
sixty-six per cent; however, much
remains to be done, especially in the
industrial group where the disease
occurs seven times more frequently
than among the professional group.
Moreover, the death rate by tuber-
culosis among Negroes is four times
higher than in the white race. Tu-
berculosis is most prevalent in the
15-45 age group. Girls are more sus-
ceptible than boys. On the other
hand, more men than women have
the disease.
In a typical school there are usu-
ally few in need of the free x-ray |

NEW YORK, April 16--A month spent hopping about the Florida palm and palmetto belt observing the big league baseball clubs in spring training has convinced me that the Tanks and Reds are agam the class of the majors.
 Cincinnati may have a dog-fight all the way with the St. Louis Cardinals, but the Reds should win by nose-maybe Ernie Lombardis schnozzle just as they did last season.
 The Tanks should have an easier triumph but their margin may be smaller than in any re- cent year, for Boston and Cleve- land have strengthened their of fensiVe.

7 HUNTERS
 IM ALASKA
 FOR BEAR
Tom Hughes, George Bar ham Bound for Kod-
 iak for Brownies

Two American big game hunters passed through Juneau today on their way to Kodiak Island to take a crack" at the famed giant Alaska brown bear.
 Tom R. Hughes. s eriff at Shreveport, Louisiana, and George B. Barham, independent oil man, also of Shreveport are aboard the Yukon loaded for bear" and equip ped for an undetermined stay prob ably about two months.
 Hughes and Barham are old part ners and hunted big game in many of the noted hunting areas in the United States and Canada, although this is their first trip to Alaska in an attempt to bag the Kodiak brownies.
 Accompanying her husband as far as Seward, Mrs Barham is aboard the Yukon and is herself an &C., complished hunter, having bagged her limit of deer and fowl in many game areas in the States. She in tends to return to Seattle on the Yukon and go from there to Homo lulu for the duration of her hus- bands hunting trip.
 Hughes and Barham are recently returned from successful moose hunting trip in Canada and have hunted deer and bear in Wyoming and New Mexico.

 The Tanks go to bat with the same club that won the world championship last summer, plus some new young pitchers. Boston expects Dominic DiMaggio, the rockies outfielder, to add power to its attack but the Red Sox's real hope lies in group of young tossers. If Herb Hash, Jim Bagby and Woody Rich come through to aid Joe Cronin's other regulars headed by Old Man Nose Grove, the Bostons might give Joe Mc- Carthy's gang fit.
 Cleveland looks stronger with a fine keystone combination in Ray Mack and Lou Boudreau, an improved outfield and pitching corps that may be hard to beat. The Indians have probably the best pitcher in baseball in Bob Teller, who may hit the 30 mark this ye,.'
 Too Many Ifs At Detroit
 Detroit has too many doubtful spots. Hank Greenberg and Rudy York have yet to prove them selves as big leaguers in the out field and at first base. Charles Gehringer is ailing. Dick Bartell is aging And, after Buck New som and Tommy Bridges, the pitching is uncertain. Chicago and Washington are about in the same class with the Tigers and this trio should battle it out for fourth. fifth and sixth positions. Seventh and eighth positions are reserved for the Athletics and the Browns.
 St. Louis has more power than any other National League club
