Negro Death

infection is almost the same for
both races.
This strange paradox has long
been recognized by health officials,
Now it has been proved by large
scale chest X-ray examinations be-
ing carried on throughout the coun
try, where thousands of persons of
both races are being examined in
the Nationwide fight against tuber
culosis
AT the University of Chicago Gil
mics and affiliated Provident Hospi-
tai, where thousands of patients
each year are given chest X-ray
examination, "a smaller percent of
Negroes (4percent) had tuberculo-
sis than did the white patients (4.17
percenD. However, among the Ne
gro patients, much larger number
had serious tuberculosis in need of
immediate treatment (2.64 percenD
while smaller number of white
patients CAB percenD had active
disease. For the country as a whole
it is estimated that II persons per
1000 have tuberculosis, healed or
active.
The chief reason advanced for
the high death rate from tuberculo-
sis among Negroes is that among
/ nonwhite persons, tuberculosis, once
it starts, progresses rapidly into adj
vanced disease more frequently than
it does in white persons. Many Ne
groeS discover their tuberculosis
only after it has reached serious
proportions, when little can be done
to stop the infection. The delayed
diagnosis means that the patient has
lost his best chance for recovery
| The rapid course of tuberculosis
among egroes, with frequent pre-
mature death, also decreases oppor-
tunity for spreading the disease
! to others over long period of years
This may account for the no-higher-
than-average rate of tuberculosis
among egroes in the general popu-
lation.
The best preventive measures
against the spread of tuberculosis
are: Cd frequent chest X-ray to
find tuberculosis in early stage be-
fore it becomes advanced disease,
90 prompt treatment of early tuber-
culosis, once it has been diagnosed.
Early tuberculosis can be complete
/ ly healed in a short time, if good
medical care is made available i'm
mediately
Frequent chest x-ray examina-
tons are possible through the tuber-
culosis control case-finding pro-
grams of health departments and
tuberculosis associations. Such
agencies operate over 400 portable
chest X-ray units throughout the
country. They bring X-ray right
into the neighborhood. Whenever
such units are set up in local
schools, churches, clinics or factor
les, everyone is urged to report
for a free chest X-ray By taking
advantage of this health service,
thousands of persons have. found
out in time that had early tubercu-
losis. With prompt treatment they
can count on complete recovery in
a short time, and do not run the
risk of unknowingly injecting other
persons with whom they live or
work.
Periodic physical examinations by
the family physician provio,e a
check on the general health. If the
physician, finds signs of possible
tuberculosis, he then can refer the

Watch Twenty-O One States

American polls are open today with
chief interest focused on the contest
for control of the national House Of
Representatives. For some time past
the majority of forecasts have con-
coded the Republicans the twenty-six
additional seats they will repire to hold
hold the balance of power on the lower
branch of Congress.
There is of course no way of know
ing until the votes are counted what
the outcome of today's balloting will
be. Forecasts are not always reliable,
ever when backed by a broad cross
section survey of trends. 1t is only
necessary to recall the Literary Di-
gest's poll and it's forecast based there
on in the first Roosevelt campaign,
which was so far wrong that it drove
the Digest out of existence, to make
one a bit leary of accepting an cleo
ton prophecy as fact.
But we are intrigued by a declara-
ton from Roscoe Drummond, who has
been rowing about the country of late
picking up the views Of politicians and
mere people, and a table he has pre-
pared Of anticipated republican gains
and democratic losses in the House to-
day. He declares the changes will
come in twenty-one states, electing a
total of two hundred, eighty-four rep
resentatives. Returns from the rest
of the country, he says, can be ignored.
It is the outcome in the twenty-one
that should be watched closely. His
table shows:

certain advantages not enjoyed by
New York. San Francisco has a SEN
timental right to the headquarters as
it was there the Security Conference
which gave birth to the United Ma
tons was held. A more important
claim is that in the new world which
will ultimately emerge with the MAX
ing of peace and the growing import
ance of Asia, San Francisco will be
the main crossroads of international
intercourse.
And, while it is not of vital i'm
port, San Francisco's climate is more
equible than New York's. There are
rain and fog in the region but no snow
or billiards.. A winter session of the
General Assembly or any of the lesser
branches of the United Nations or
ganization would be more endurable
dramatically there than in the vicinity
of New York. Furthermore, San
Francisco can offer as wide a variety
of diversion for the delegates during
off hours as New York.

metropolis would serve the needs of
the United Nations capital more salts
factorily than New York.

Disguised Blessing

The rain of Saturday, which post
poned the bicycle cavalcade of school
children to the Legion stadium for
the Kiwanis-sponsored safety demon
STATIONS, may have been a blessing
in disguise. Held over until Deem
Der 7, the intervening time will per-
nit the working out Of several improve
ments in the schedule, one of which
could be the assembling of partici-
pants at their separate schools in
stead of a single point of beginning.
It had been planned to have the
children report at Hemenway school,
which would have required many to
travel without escort from outlying
schools at some danger to themselves
and auto traffic. By the proposed
change, all participating cyclists will
have a traffic officer escort not only
from the general gathering. place but
to it as well.
Another proposed change is COM
petitions among the pupils at their
separate schools for the right to enter
the main events at the stadium. By
This means it is expected to create
keener interest in the event, which
primarily is designed to teach the
greatest number of school children
with bicycles how to ride in traffic
without Ct >ating hazards of accident.
The larger the turnout the greater
the potential value of the demonstra-
tons.

Mr.. Drummond adds the republican
gains here shown represent the con
sensus of neutral judgment. IF the
returns show that they are holding
close to these gains in a number of
the foregoing states, the republican
control of the House can be taken for
granted. Any trend appreciably less
than these gains will mean that the
democrats will retain control of the
House."

correct or amiss his figures turn out.

-Women's hats according to a

Fashion, from the hat down, said
Mrs. Margaret Byrne, could even

A hat, Ms. Byrne said, tells
the world like a billboard of the
personality within it. She says you
can determine a Woman's intelli-
gence, Imagination, sense of
humor and self-confidence by her
hat.
She belives something should be
done about this social problem.
Women buy SO percent of the
merchandise of America, Mrs.
Byrne said, and have had little
or no preparation to do it. The
average housewife and shop gil
needs and wants to be taught how
to buy wisely and with good taste,

United Nations CAPITAL

Because the United States policy of
neutrality in the selection of a perma-
nent headquarters for the United
Nations has complicated rather than
smoothed the choice, the government
probably will move to have the Gen.
eral Assembly consider sites that may
be "available without cost or at re-
asonable cost in all parts of the New
York area, including Westchester, and
in the San Francisco bay area"
"This indicates the choice will lie
between the two main coastal regions
of this country, unless, forsooth, GER

a capital on this side of the Atlantic
are successful in their efforts to trans

. If the original plan to have the
United Nations domiciled in the United
States is carried out, it is obvious that
the many present competing areas will
be out of the running and the area of
the principal city of the Atlantic sea-

out.

General Ben Lear anticipated this sort OF
thing early in the draft when he called back
a group of soldiers from their camp beyond
Memphis and made them march home be-
cause they had hoWled at a group OF Amerl-

women weren't safe from the insults OF Amer
lean soldiers that early in the game they
would have been fair prey after a few years
of this. The wolf CALI of the G. l. has been
treated as an amiable salute of the lonesome
boy but all civilian codes condemn it as
dirty behavior and, in fact it is, no less from
a soldier than from any bum in mutt.
The message of the generals in the Philip

something from the communist desk of the

a plain, ~forceful newspaper dispatch describ-
