I Relief Society Luncheon Told
Tuberculosis DriUe Is Success
By Gretchen Smith,
womsn's Club Editor.

Two outstanding features con-
tributed to the success OF the an
nual donor luncheon of the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the Jewish Consump-
tives' Relief Society of Denver yes
terday at the Mayfiower Hotel.
First was announcement that the
affair realized approximately So, 800
for the. support of the sanatorium
for tuberculosis sufferers in Denver
and second, the message brought to
the organization by Assistant Sec
retary of Agriculture Charles F..
Brannon, guest speaker for the
occasion.
Mr.. Brannon emphasized the I'M
portance of world effort in COM
batting disease, declaring that
health is now as much world
problem as peace.
There can be no peace in the
world without health, q he asserted
while on the other hand, we cannot
enjoy health if we do not live in
a peaceful world"
Mr.. Brannon also pointed out
how modern means of transporta-
tion have made disease more easily
communicable thus imposing great
er responsibility upon all to help
in its conquest.
ut is meetings of organizations
like this which ultimately conquor
disease and poverty" he added. "The
action of each and every individual
here can set in motion chain of
events which may effect the future
of the world"
A native of Denver, the speaker
described the sanatorium located in
that city and supported by the Jew
ish Consumptiyes Relief Society as
one of the finest institutions of its
kind in the world. f
He cited characters in history
whose early death through tubercu-
losis had deprived the world of a
rich heritage in arts, letters and
music.
Look back century or two" he
commented. Great men like Emer-
son, Scott, Shelley, Milton, Rafael
Stevens, Mozart, and Chopin had
their lives cut off at an early
age through tuberculosis. We are
told that Shakespeare was the
greatest writer of all times. Those
who knew said that had John Keats
lived, he might have been the great
est writer of time. He died oi
tberculosis at the age Of 25."
Losses in human life from tuber-
culosis would probably exceed the
casualties of many wars, the speaker
| added.
"The loss in human resources
through tuberculosis is inestimable
in value" he declared.
The program included vocal solos

Building for Each Nation.
Above the Pan-American hotel
and extending up to Rockefeller
Center, Col. Jenkins plans Fl new
buildings. one for each country
The edifices would house exhibits
OF the chief products of each nation,
as we'll as the office of the consul
general and other officiais. Re-
cessed corners and other free areas
around the buildings would be
graced with trees and fountains, and
sidewalk cafes would be inter-
spersed in the general Worlds Fair
effect.
To finish the Avenue of the Amer
icas off with solid hemisphere
flourish, Col Jenkins wants a new
entrance to Central Park at seth
street, in the form of a colonnade
with figures Tor each of the nations
Traffic would zoom underneath the
colonnade, which would feature the
equestrian statute of Simon Bolivar
South American liberator, which
now stands on Central Park West.
Part of larger and thorough idea
to give Sixth avenue a whole new
face, the Observation-Disclosures plan
is at least six years old, jenkins
says. Complete refacing OF the
avenue is planned by the association,
which has an idea for almost every
block from Church and White
streets up to Central Park. All in
all, Col. Jenkins estimates, the bill
will be about SITS ,0OO, 900.
