/
DR.. G. Candy Robinson was elected

losis Association, at the Annual

against the White Plague on all
fronts. Other officers elected were
William H. Staub, 1st Vice-presi-
dent; William F. Schluderberg, End
vice-president; William Bowie, Sec
rotary, and Philip S. Morgan, trea-
surer.
DR.. Robinsn succeeds DR.. Samuel
Wolman, who had served as Presi-
dent of TIE Association for Is years,
during which time great strides were
made in the Associations anti-tuber-
culosis program, mainly in free elm
les and x-raying.
A member of the Executive Com
mittee of the Association since 1889,
DR.. Robinson has been active in tu-
berculosis work for many years. At
present, he is National Director Of
the Blood Donor Service of the
American Red Cross and after the

the Medical Clinics of Johns Hopkins

Director of Medical Clinics of Johns
Hopkins Hospital and Lecturer in
Medicine and Preventative Medicine
at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Among His many activities, DR..
Robinson served one year in China
as Advisory Professor at Peiping
Medical College. He was also Balti-
more Representative to the American
Bureau of Medical Aid to China, for
which work he received a medal from
the Chinese Government
In accepting the Presidency of the
Association, DR.. Robinson said, "The
Associations program of clinics, X
raging, Medical Research, Health
Education, Tuberculin Testing, and
Rehabilitation must and will be in
creased. Working with the Official
Health Departments we shall see the
tumbling of the death rate until we
cannot only say that the disease is
under control but eradicated. This,
of course, will not happen over night
but by increasing our mass x-raying
we are assisting in finding the early
and unsupported case which means
they can be cured quickly. Through
Health Education we are informing
the public as to the nature of the dis
ease in order that everyone will
know the truth that it can be cured
and prevented. Through Rehabilita-
ton, we shall train those who have
been cured in job that they are
able to TO so that they will again be-
come well respected citizens who are
an ecoE omic asset to the commu-
nifty"
Besides the officers, the following
were elected to the Executive Com
mittee: DR.. Victor F. Cullen, DR.. v.
l.. Ellicott, Mr. Jonas Hamburger,
Mr.. Martin B. Kohn, DR.. Robert H.

The Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation as voluntary organization
of physician and laymen, has since
1904 been combating tuberculosis
throughout teh State. 1t is supported
through the sale of Christmas Seals
which is now in progress.

CHRISTMAS SEALS ON GREETING
CARDS

The use OF tuberculosis Christ
mas Seals on all Christmas cards
gives them gayer appearance, it
was stated by William B. Matthews,
Jr., Acting Executive Secretary of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association
as he urged everyone to make re-
turns for the seals sent them.
with Christmas almost here, ("
said Mr.. Matthews, 1--WE are all send
ing out many cards of greeting and
cheer. Everyone should be sure that
each envelope has stamped on 1t a
Christmas Seal as sign that you are
Tor good health.
"The money raised by these penny
seals is used to finance the anti-tu-
oerculosis program of the Maryland
Tuberculosis Association and it's
County units. This program includes
Free Clinics, X-raying, Medical Re-
search Tuberculin Testing, and
Health Education Mr.. Matthews
concluded
Earlier Governor Herbert r. o.
Conor had Endorsed the Christmas
Seal Sale and called on all citizens
of Maryland to support it by purchas-
ing the seals. Although many returns
have been made this years sale is
running 15% per cent behind the
1914, the Association announced.
The Sale will close on Christmas
Day.

certain that the card chosen reflects
the degree of intimacy that exists.
Using first names, or even affec-
tomato nicknames is permissible
on Christmas cards for close friends
and relatives. Some married couples
still retain the formal "Mr. (or
Captain) and Mrs. Jones. Most
younger couples, however, prefer the
friendlier "John and Alice Jones'"
1t is perfectly proper to include the
children's names and even the name
of the family Scottie. Or make the
signature all-inclusive and simpler
by writing "The John Lanes"
Because Christmas cards are the
personal expression of your regard
for the person to whom they are
sent, you should double check to be
certain that all cards are correctly
signed and addressed. The best Ell
quette directs that they be mailed
with first-class postage. When you
use first-class postage on your
Christmas cards, you are, in effect,
saying to your friends, "I'm not TAX
ing any chances that this greeting
will be delayed on it's way to you"

Woodrow Phillips, taxi driver
of Aberdeen, was robbed one night
last week of $134 and his taxi. He
was driving to Baltimore with two
passengers in his cab, on the Old
Philadelphia Road, he said, when one
of the men placed something hard
against his back and ordered the cab
halted.
Phillips said that the men then
made him get out of the cab and one
of the pair went through his pockets
removing the money. The pair then
drove off in the cab. He described
one of his assailants as being about
23 years old and the other about So.
