Winning the War
No appeascmcnt has been suc-
ce-tcd nor can any thought Of
amusement in this conflict Toe toll
Grated, because we are winning
the war. The death rate from
tuberculosis has been steadily de-
cIinIug since the year 1850. That
wear was the first IN which reliable
statistics were obtainable. In 1850
the death rate from tuberculosis
was 500 per 100000; in 1870 it
was 40 per 100000; in 1850 it
was so per 100000; in 1890 it
was 800; in 1920 it was liz and
in 1910 it was 80 per 100000, less
than ten per cent of the rate Of
1850.
Of course it was probably de-
c1ining before 1850 and we can not
assume that u active campaign
against tuberculosis which only
started in about 1900 is respon-
sible for all of this decline. The
great increase in the worlds food
supply and better nutrition are
probably responsible for most of
it. But if we take a period from
1850 to 1899 during which no
active campaign against tubcrcu-
losis was in force, the death rate
declined from 444 per 100, 600 to
25i-a decrease of $50.
From 1900 to 1889, during which
our campaign was in force, the
drop was from 253 per 1O0.0 to
SO per 100, 000-a decrease of S6rc.
SO we must assume that the cam
paign itself is indeed having some
effect.
The Campaign
There are still about 100000
patients with tuberculosis in the
United States.
The campaign against tUlarcV-
losis in its first stages forts years
ago was for better treatment for
the already developed case. Today

protect the future taxpayer from
unnecessary pension burdens.
Largely this means eliminating at
the source, candidates with tuber-
culosis and mental personality dis
orders.
The United States Treasury
paid out $400,O90,1 76 in compen-
sation to World War veterans
from 1923 to 1882, which is about
a third of the total compensation
paid on this score. These men
should never have been accepted.
They had tuberculosis before they
went into the army, in practically
all cases. and most of them broke
down before they ever saw active
service.
During the present emergency,
the selection is much better, but
still leaves much to be desired. In
an Army Hospital recently the
largest group of patients | saw IN
the contagious ward had tuber-
culosis.
Mental Disorders
Mental and personality disorder
is even more of a problem, because
it is not so easy to detect. 1t IS os-
timated that every such soldier
costs the Government $4,000 IN
disqualification and pensions.
Some mistakes are in~eXcusablc.
A California board certified a man
who was in Jail as a homicidal ma
MAC. He was released, and after
entering the army beat up some of
his mates, was removed to an army
hospital where he beat up the ward
attendants, and finally required
the time of a medical officer and
two enlisted men to take him to the
Letterman General Hospital.
Most of the psychotic applicants
get by because they don't realize
their own condition and because in
civil life there is not enough stress
to bring out their Weaknesses.

Five Gallons of Gas Per Week

Oil Industry Stotisticions Declare
Suggested l5-GoIon Plan Won't HeIo

Last year the Is Eastern States,
with the District of Columbia, used
So per cent of all the gasoline con-
sumed in the United States. That is
of 24,756, 100000 gallons used, the
East used 8,508,612,000.
The. East used that amount with
llA million motor vehicles, making
the average yearly consumption
788 gallons per vehicle.
The vehicle total includes about
one-and-ope-half million trucks and
buses, the heaviest gasoline users
and, at the same time, the most
commercially important. Oil men
said they thought it likely the aver
age operations of trucks and buses
would constantly increase during the
emergency period, pairing still farther
the ratio available to passenger
cars.
Consequently, some authorities
suggested even the low figure of five
gallons-or 100 miles of motoring
per week for passenger cars might
be considered somewhat high.
Two large oil companies, it was
learned, already have started deliv-
cries of crude oil to their Eastern re-
fineries by motor tank trucks in an
effort to supplement supplies being
delivered by ocean tankers and rail-
road tank cars.
The cost of delivery by rail and
highway, however. is running as
much as 10 times ahead Of ocean
transportation.

Sergeant Over Acting

In surprise moR. Secretary of

Sergt. Mark H. Raspberry to be
acting superintendent of Park Po-
lice, effective Monday.
Sergt. Raspberry is to be acting
chief until the retirement Septem-
ber 18 of Capt Henry Helms, the
present superintendent. 1t is as
sumed that Sergt. Raspberry then
will become superintendent.
Sergt. Raspberry, 81, is a graduate
of the National Police Academy of
the Federal Bureau OF Investiga-
ton. He has ben a member of the
force since 1881 and was promoted
to sergeant in July. 1910.
His elevation to the acting super
intendency comes as a surprise in
view of the fact that since Capt
Helms went on leave, July Is, his
place has been taken by 1t. Henry
T. Miskell, veteran of % years ex-
perience and his logical successor in
point of service.
Sergt. Raspberry is married and
makes his home at 1881 Orchid street
NV. A native of Birmingham,
Ala, he has been a resident of
Washington some 20 years. Before
joining the park police force he held
secretarial position with the

For many years he was desk clerk

NEW YORK, Aug. "a prob
ability that not more than five GAL
Ions OF gasoline week will be avail
able to the average passenger car
driver in the East this winter was
foreseen today by statistical experts
in the oil industry.
Commenting on a suggestion that
Eastern motorists should be limited
to IS gallons of gasoline each week
to prevent the gasoline shortage
which now is threatening the Allan
tic seaboard, one executive asserted:
THAT limit wouldn't do any good.
The average consumption in this
section of the country was IS GAL
Ions per car each week last year.
There isn't going to be that much
gas around this winter"
The industry was regarded as con-
vinced that petroleum products will
be delivered to the East from the
Southwest this winter on a priorities
basis-with gasoline for automobiles
in fourth place in list of four.
Heavy industrial oils for defense
factories were ranked first, heating
oils second and crude oil supplies
third.
Since the shortage situation was
brought about by the transfer of
East Coast tankers to the British
and since the tanker fleet now is
supposed to be about half of its
previous size, gasoline supplies, it
was said, may be expected to be
curtailed by at least half.

Substantial Increase

While taking exception to some
Treasury suggestions for adding
approximately $1,000 100000 to the
House-approved tax bill, Chairman
George predicted today the Senate
Finance Committee would make a
substantial increase in the $3,206,-
200 900 measure.
Although the figure approved by
the House is the highest in history,
Senator George said that I'VE should
raise at least SO 500, 900 900, and as
much more as we can justify with
out too great jar to the economic
system"
The Georgia Senator told report
ers the Treasury proposal to increase
the starting rate for surtaxes on
individual incomes from 5 to II per
cent would provide "an exceedingly
high tax"
"While the committee may be will
ing to 60 in the direction of in
creased surtaxes, it is questionable
that it would go to a starting rate
of II per cent" he added.
Senator George indicated too that
the committee would reject Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthaus pro-
posal for a modified requirement
that husbands and wives file joint
income tax returns, when both earn
income outside the home. The House
struck out a joint return clause
from the bill.

bers, including Majority Leader
