Dictators Have Sad Fates

They may have had fun in their
heydays, but dictators come to no
goo end, according to summary
released by the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA of the last days and deaths of
three famous totalitarians.
Tsar Shot
Tsar Nicholas II was executed with
out trial, shot by a Russian commits
sar, and his entire family was lined
up before firing squad.
When the st. Petersburg Govern
ment failed to agree to British pro-
posal to put the Tsar and his family
in asylums and while the counter
revolutionary forces were moving to
rescue the dictator and his family,
local authorities at Ekaterinburg,
where the ruler was confined, agreed
to a. quick execution.
BOnaparte's Fate
Napoleon Bonaparte spent his last
days in small farm house on the
island of St. Henela, deprived of all
contact with the outside world. Not
even kis family could communicate

The Kaiser, who was burned in
efigy nearly every day during World
War /, met his death in exile in Hol-
land, and when he died Hitler
ordered military funeral for tie old
German Emperor who had been the
most hated man alive during World
War /.
Hitler's number is yet to be post
ed, and just what has become OF
Mussolini?

FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS WITH

"War has always been an excellent
culture medium for the bacillus OF
tuberculosis, said DR.. Victor F. Gull

tuberculosis Association, Superih-
tendent OF State Sanatoria, and a
member of the Executive Committee
of the Maryland tuberculosis Associ-
alton, in statement issued regard

Facing tkis country today is the
problem of whether the improvement
in technique of tuberculosis control

Great effort has been made to
prevent any rise in the disease in this
country" DR.. Cullen said, "but al
ready a number of cities show a
slight increase in the tuberculosis
death rates. This" he said, was
probably due to the speed-up in in
dustry, the increased strain on the
people, plus the over-crowded hous-
ing conditions"
One of the biggest problems facing
this country is fighting infectious
diseases whick, in both the Army and
the Navy of the United States during
World War I, were responsible for
more hospital admissions, deaths and
days lost than were battle injuries,
DR.. Cullen pointed out.
