years later the local boys make
good in amateur and semi pro
baseball.
The pupils of Mrs. Adele NJ.
Evans Of this city were featured
in the annual Pianoforte recital
last week at the N. E. Conserva-
tory, Thursday evening. Among
Medford youthful artists were
Shirley and Eleanor Jones and
their brother, Joseph; Gloria
Bosfield, Zebra Rose, Mabel and
Marie Josey, Elmer Kountze Jr.,
Ann Hayes, and Patricia Evans.
All did themselves proud, and we
are proud of them. The Civic
Affairs Committee, Mr.. Edmund
son, chairman, held meeting on
public Improvements here last
week with Alderman Mrs. Ann
Roberts invited guests. Mrs.
Bessie Robinson and Mrs. FUR
recently returned from a stay in
Virginia, Mrs. Mabel Lewis Of
Sherman Street recently returned
home from the hospital. Negotia-
tions are underway for a return
game of softball between the w.
Medford Bombers and Fort
Devens, at Devens, early next
month. The soldiers had such a
great time on their last visit that
they hope to invite the locals up
to the camp and may even provide
special transportation if possible.
And the "big game" Sunday be-
tween the local veterans was
halted because of rain but it
looked like every man in the
service was on the field with a
big crowd on hand. About every
branch of the service was repre-
scented. Among those in baseball
toys, ready to play, was Chief
Petty Officer Charles ]. Anderson
of the Navy who will be married
day June 9th at church wedding
to Barbara Ann Digger on Sun
day, une 8, at church wedding,
at Shiloh. The community is base
ball minded and plans are under
way to revive the championship
girls softball team and the
housewives have neither husbands
nor children on baseball days. So
how about a four inning July
Fourth softball game between
local housewives and another
game between the girl softball
team and the veterans? Anyone

Circumstances of Curran's death

the ship or that he may have ended

Police said both theories were
possible but that the exact cause
of death would not be known until

Giovanni Battista Janssens Of

Father Janssens received all
but n of the votes of 1859 Jesuit
electors who cast their ballots
this morning after 10 days of alb
solute seclusion in the old Jesuit
college near st. Peters basilica.
The only vote he did not receive
was his own.
Vatican circles explained that,
according to tradition, the new
superior general always is pick
ed from a small nation during
delicate historical periods to pre-
vent any possible influence Of a
big power inside the order.

Close to 200 residents of New
Hanover county probably have tu-

their Eases have SO far gone undis-
covered, according to estimates re.
leased yesterday by DR.. Thomas
H. Vestal, director of the states
Division of tuberculosis control.
If anything, that estimate is low.
The county has over $1,000 people.
and DR.. Vestal reports that chest
x-rays taken recently by the divis-
ion show three persons out of every
thousand have active tuberculosis
still the deadliest of the COM
municable diseases.
Yesterday the state announced a
program to combat tuberculosis
with an x-ray picture Of every
North Carolinian's chest as its
prime objective. Last month, the
tuberculosis division completed a
survey of some $1,000 persons in

education both for schools and the
general public.
Deaths In County
But its job is far from done. In
1915, Mss Nash points out, tuber-
cuIosis killed 81 residents of New
Hanover county = more than any
other contagious disease. So far
in 1916 it's victims have totaled 10.
b Which leaves the association
with an expanding responsibility.
So far as the individual is concern
ed, Miss Nash sums up his share
of the responsibility in these terms:
to- visit the associations x-ray elm
les and to buy his share OF its
Christmas seals.
So far as the local health and
tuberculosis association is con-
cerned, its goals can be expressed
in the words Of DR.. Kendall Emer-
son, managing director of the Ma.
tional Tuberculosis association.

| detecting tuberculosis in it's first
stages on a countrywide basis.
Miss Lucy Nash, the associations
executive secretary, outlines its
basic objective in is words: "to
get everyone to have an x-rayy pic
ture made at least one every two
years."
The associations clinic, located
in the Health departments base
ment here, will give x-ras to any
person who requests one, from 10
a. m. to noon on Mondays and
from II a. m. to moor on Thurs
days. The x-ray room also re-
mains open for special occasions
like last weeks general study
of New Hanover school teachers.
Busiest In History
The last nine months have been
the busiest in the history of tuber-
cular examination in the county.
Between January l and Sept. l,
1916, the clinic x-rayed 2,042 per-
sons.
OF this number, 1850 were what
Miss Nash terms routine and they
proved true to state health depart
ment estimates by showing three
cases of mininal tuberculosis.
Costs of the x-rays, which are
free to subjects, are borne by pro-
ceeds of the associations annual
sale of Christmas Seals which will
be launched this year at a kick
off luncheon at St. Johns Parish
house next Sept. rs.
But, even. though they make W
the largest part of the local asso
cations So, $50 budget, the x-ray:
are worth much more than theil
cost both to the individual and the
public. State health experts re
port that IS per cent of the tuber
cular persons discovered in rou
tine x-rays have the disease ii
its early stages, a time when i
can be cured both quickly ant
cheaply.
Nor does the local association
stop with this job of detection
alone. Pending the establishment
of a new county tubercular sani
tarium, it has the duty of caring
for persons who cannot or will no
be admitted to other state institu
tons.
The association cannot. Miss
Nash points out, really treat either

FIGHT LOOMING
OVER SELECTION
Geneva May Win Out AS
Headquarters For
United Nations

PARIS, Sept. l5--Wp-An all
out tight is expected at the forth
coming general assembly to switch
United Nations from its temporary
headquarters at New York to a
permanent home in Geneva peace
conference delegates said Sunday.
When the question of a perma-
nent site is again discussed at the
Oct. % assembly session in New
York, delegate here predicted a
three-cornered fight between New
York, San Francisco and Geneva,
with the odds on Geneva. They
based their forecast on the Soviet
Unions sudden liking for the Swiss
city.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Vishinsky reasoned last
year that, first, Russia had no
diplomatic relations with Switzer-
land and therefore the choice of
Geneva would not please his gov
eminent and, second, that a new
world organization should be
established in the new world.
Since that time Russia has re-
sumed its diplomatic link with
Switzerland and Vishinsky recent
ly told his Big Three colleagues
that Geneva would be s'conven-
lent for the next general assem-
bly,. at.
