TUBERCULOSIS STILL
4 GREAT WAR PROBLEM

Continued from Page Onel
dication of what is likely to oc-
cur. None of the beIligerent
countries escaped an increase in
tuberculosis then, and practical
" all of the neutral countries of
Europe suffered either an in
crease in tuberculosis or a slow
mig up of the pre-war rate of
decline.
AS instances of the havoc
wrought by tuberculosis during
the World War, the statisticians
point out that:
Among English women, NOR
tally from pulmonary tubercu-
losis rose steadily to a peak in
1918, when it was more than IS
percent higher than in 1913; in
Germany, the death rate from
that disease among women rose
slowly at first, but after 1915 the
increase was very rapid, SO that
by 1918 the rate was nearly rs
percent above that of 1913. Bad
as these conditions were, the
situation among other belliger-
ent nations was far worse. While
in 1918 the tuberculosis death
rate in France was reported as
20 percent greater than in 1914,
it probably was much higher. In
Italy the recorded deaths from
tuberculosis were at least 40 per-
cent higher in 1918 than in 1914.
In Belgium the conditions were
extremely bad, with the tuber-
culosis death rate in Brussels,
for instance, doubling during the
war, rising from 1T per 100000
in 1914 to 800 in 1918. The rate
rose so percent in Vienna in the
early postwar years as compar-
ed with the prewar rate. In Bel
grade, the tuberculosis death rate
in 1918 reached the almost in
credible figure of l,400 per 100,-
0OO''.
Even in the United States a
slight rise III the tuberculosis
death rate occurred during the
period of our active participation
in the Woflp War;. hK(lss Il
The increase in tuberculosis
during wartime, I Che statisticians
explain, is caused primarily by
the breakdown In resistance to-
the disease, and by the increase
in contacts between those with
active tuberculosis and healthy
individuals. In the present con-
flict, as in the preceding one, the
first of these causes is the most
potent, arising mainly from the
drastic curtaiIment of food sup
plies, and the consequent wide
spread malnutrition".

One morning When the pi1neer
pipe liners came To work, they
found the line broken Team
Isters had hooked log chains to
the pipe and dragged sections
apart. Posted along the line
and IN adjacent communities
were placards angrily protesting
the project.
VanSyckel purchased carbines
and posted an armed patrol.
Guards were established over the
men at work. On October 9 the
line was completed, and the first

two at Pithole and one at Little

received their telegram, but-who was
the fourth?
She put the question to Norah.
cts foreign gentleman" she said.
Staying here, Miss Wendy, since
yesterday. Her Ladyship told Peggy
last night, while she was brushin'
Her Ladyship's hair before bedtime,
that he was a Dutch gentleman what
had come to help catch the people
what's doin' all the harm around here.
They been blowing up things and set
tim fire to things something awful
this last few days, especially military
things"
The maids voice became confiden-
tial and dropped to what could be de-
scribed as stage whisper. 'It amt
for US in the servants hall to say
what we likes and what we don't
like, Miss Wendy, and you'll forgive
me if I tells you that we don't like
this Count de Beers, which is what
he calls himself. He's got a thin,
nasty face that's all cut up with scars,
and a sneakin' manner, and the gar
dener says he's seen lights during the
night comm from the Counts window
when all ought to be BACKED out.
Begin your pardon, Miss Wendy,
for bein' so bold"
Further conversation between the
young mistress and Norah was end
ed by the arrival at that moment of
Lord and Lady Harrowsdale. Their
greeting of Wendy was affectionate,
but, like herself, they refused to show
any outward emotion. While they ap-
peared very grave, their self-control
was perfect example of what peo-
pie of courage, descended from long
lines of patriots, should be.
"Where is the COUNT" His Lord
ship addressed this question to Nora,
after he had embraced his daughter.
"Sir, he went off for a walk fifteen
minutes ago." the maid answered.
"Said he had headache and needed
air, your Lordship, and that he would
be back in time to dress for dinner"
Wendy couldn't help wondering why
the stranger had offered excuses, or
given reasons to a servant for his
comings and goings. This just wasn't
done in England. However, instead
of giving this further thought she
shrugged her shoulders, guessed that
it might be the custom in Holland,
and suggested that it was time for
tea.
Not until Ncrah had left the room

to fetch tea did the family speak Of
Philip and offer their mutual con-
dolences. Their loss had hit both par
ents very hard, but of the two Lord
Harrowsdale showed it outwardly ev-
en- more than his wife. He spoke
at some length of his ancestors, point
ing out that Philip was the last male
member, and that the family name
would die with him.
"Well," he added, sit was in a great
cause, the defense Of England. And
we have received word that he shot
down two of the enemy before he died.
Only one less than young Hutchinson.
They paid US five for three, and Stat
ford thinks he got a sixth, but did
not wait to see it hit the ground. I'll
show you his letter, Wendy, after
tea"
This was the first news Wendy had
had of David's three victories, and
she. thought that this might be good
moment to breach the subject. She
felt so proud Of her lover, so bound
lessly proud of his courage. Three of
the enemy had gone down from his
attack before they had been able to
subdue him. Even her father must
be swayed by his admiration for such
bravery.
Father" she said. 1t was not her
habit to take the long road. Once
she had made up her mind to go after
thing she took the straightest way,
the shortest cut.
Lord Harrowsdale looked up from
his tea. eyes, Wendy."
Il want to marry David Hutchin-
son. He has asked me, but not as
long as he is flying. l want your
consent"
The old man knit his heavy eye
brows until they almost came togeth-
er over his nose, and stirred the tea
he was drinking for a very long mo-
ment before replying. When he did
speak his voice was measured and
steady; the voice, Wendy knew, that
he used when he meant his word to be
law, when he brooked no argument.
"My dear daughter" be began.

fine and courageous. I shall not dis

A terrific explosion rent the air,
leaving the sentence unfinished. The
house shook to its very foundations
as though in an earthquake, and sew
eral panes of glass crashed to the
floor, shattered into bits.

you drive me, Wendy?"
Father and daughter rushed out to
the garage, and her Ladyship hurried
across the golf links to the hospital.
There would surely be some wounded
brought in here for first aid treat
ment and she must be ready.
That night at dinner the subject of
the explosion monopolized the con-
versation. Count de Beers, faultless-
ly attired in full evening dress, was
very interested and most sympathetic.
"How dreadful" he said in his excel
lent English. "Over three hundred

College Students Told
To Check Draft Status

Selective service regiStrants who
are prospective college enrollees were
advised today to consult their draft
boards to determine their call status
before committing themselves def
nitely to continue academic studies.
William E. Leahy, District direc-
tor of selective service, said that
while students whose induction call
IS several months away need not
fear that a draft summons will
break into college term, there will
be no blanket deferments of stu
dents this fall as was the case last
year.
Mr.. Leahy said it will be the pol
icy to be as lenient as possible in
cases of young men who are ear
nestly pursuing educational oppor-
tunities." Students in training for
certain specialized professions may
be granted deferments under selec-
tive service regulations.
Where students have entered in
good faith upon an education
course" Mr.. Leahy said, I'VE will
endeavor not to interrupt their
studies, but the burden is on the
registrant to prove the Importance

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Sept. s.
An estimated $50 school children,
all residents of Ferguson Park, now
a 100O-unit Navy housing project
located in Warwick County, were
denied admission to schools in the
county yesterday.
T. Ryland Sanford, Superintend-
ent of schools of Warwick County,
said officials felt it was not fair"
to other tax-paying residents of the
area to allow children of families
residing in a "tax-free naval res
ervation" to attend schools financed
through levies on the residents.
Mr.. Sanford also cited an increase
of 249 in the enrolment in the
Hilton village, Morrison and Den
bigh schools, over the figure for
opening day last year.
Conditions at present are crowd
ed" Mr.. Sanford said. I'VE expect
construction on four new rooms to
the Morrison School, planned to
house elementary school students
only, to be completed within the
next 10 days or two weeks"
When asked if Ferguson Park chill
dren would be admitted when the
rooms were finished, Mr.. Sanford
said he is waiting for "the Navy
Department to make a statement
explaining just what they intend to
do toward providing school facilities
for the Ferguson Park children"
