GENERAL HEALTH

Americans Not Physical Weddings Claims State
 Medical Society

New Haven, Jan. 8-The first of ficial report on results of physical examinations by U. s. Selective Ser vice Boards shows that on the basis Of existing knowledge we are not a nation of physical weddings" &C., cording to word received by The Connecticut State Medical Society today from the American Medical ASSocia ton.
 Using New York City as a base for preliminary estimates, medical authorities are convinced that, con- trary to reports in some quarters no national health program is immed- lately necessary to improve our phy- slcal well being. By comparison with previous records, the examina- ton of potential draftees shows that the general health of our nation is good.
 The standards of evaluation to- day are far more rigid than those which were utilized in 1917," said a spokesman for the State Medical Society, in commenting on the re- port. The X-ray for determining the presence or absence of diseases or the lung, modern methods for examining various parts of the body, and extensive laboratory tests were not used in examining the recruits during the World War"
 In. New York City 12O local draft boards examined total of 1.643 registrants. Of thls number, l,213 were accepted for general military service and 4S0 were rejected or marked "ht for limited duty only" Weight height deficiencies, poor

It is interesting to note that this collection like many other inn portant ones of its period, particu- larlv the Haveplayer collection DoU in the Metropolitan museum of art is due almost entirely to the advice and selection of Mary Cassat and to her enthusiasm in bringing the best work of her contemporaries the attention of her friends in America The exhibition will be open daily from 10 a. m. to D. m, except Sun day and Monday when it will be open to p. m.
 The exhibition was arranged by the Mattatuck Historical society's committe on special exhibits.

tuberculosis in community. It has been estimated that there should be five known active cases of tuberculosis under supervision for each annual death and approxi- mately three contacts to each of these five active cases. Accurate records disclose the number of deaths and new cases, the number Of patients entering or leaving san- atoria and the number of hospital days. From this data an effective tuberculosis control program can be planned and the approximate cost to the community for sanator- ium care calculated.
 c linic Facilities
 Doctor Phelps pointed out that in some communities clinic facilities are availavle, in others itinerant consultation clinics may be made available. The out-patient depart ment of the nearest State Tubercu- loSiS Sanatorium may be used for examination of cases and contacts who are unable to afford adequate examinations elsewhere. Such pa- tients must be referred and appoint ments made through the local health officer or the family phySic- ian. In small communities the pub- lie health nurse with the consent of the family physician may arrange through whatever facilities may be available for the periodic examina- tion of indigent tuberculosis pa- tients and contacts.

vision, heart ailments and the effects of infantile paralysis were the primary causes of rejection of those who failed to meet army require mentS of fitness.
 The Connecticut State Medical Society points out that from the point of view of the national health and of physical fitness the Ameri- can people can place their record well up beside that of any other nation in the world. Those who argue that this record is due primarily to the superior living conditions which have long prevailed in the United States cannot discount the achieve mentS of modern medicine or the part played by public health move ment and medical organizatinos in this country.

tuberculosis Fight
 Demands Cooperation
Various Agencies Must Unite In Work Declares Health
 Director In Radio BrOadcast-Face Problem

The tuberculosis problem in a community concerns twenty four people for each annual death from the disease, according to Paul s. Phelps, M. D., Director of the Case Finding Division of the State Tuberculosis Commission in an raticle written for the monthly bull letin published by the State De- partment of Health. To prevent ex- tensive spread of this malady it is imperative that all related agencies cooperate in the early examination of contacts and prompt diagnosis, treatment and folloW-up care of ac- tive cases.
 Accurate Records
 The maintenance of accurate rec- ords and the use of this informa- tion in coordinated activity by all official and nonofficial agencies con- cerned with the control of tuber- culoSis makes it possible. Doctor Phelps stressed, to determine whether there is any section, race, industry and age group in which the disease is particularly prevalent. This is important if the control pro- gram is to be adequate, and con- centrated on those groups of the population in which it is most needed.
 In households where there are open or positive Sputum cases, it is concurrent and terminal disin- lection should be carried out and the patients hospitalized. Where disqualification is not possible such cases should be under constant supervision. The population of the community should be educated as to the prevalence and seriousness of the disease and the available means of prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.
 Up-tO-Date File
 The keeping of an up-to-date file of all tuberculosis patients and their contacts is simple procedure, Doc tor Phelps explained, and it is, es- sential to systematic control Of
