And this Is much more Of q pos

he added. Seattle and King Coun-
ty, for the first time In history,
have enough hospital beds to care
for every person discovered with

Lien what causes tuberculosis and
how 1t Is spread"
IF we concentrate on finding

tuberculosis Is communicable,
spread from tho sick to the well.
It depends on each and everyone
of us whether or not we want to
see tuberculosis eradicated in our
life span," Anderson challenged.
To rid the community of tubercu-
losis, each person can do his share
by making it his responsibility to
have chest x-ray during the COM

Solve Sheep Theft.
Indicative of the widespread use
being made Of the laboratory's fa-
cilities is a recent case involving
theft of 270 sheep in Big Horn coun-
ty, Montana.
Investigation had disclosed that a
suspect was selling large number
of sheep whose wool bore evidence
of efforts to obliterate brand mark
ings. Specimens of the brand paint
remaining on the sheep wool and
samples of the brand paint, used by
the true owner of the sheep in mark
ing his animals, were forwarded to
the laboratory.
A spectrographic examination
conducted by FBI technicians re-
vealed the presence in all the SAM
pies of Prussian blue paint, identi-
cal in both color and texture. In
addition, it was found by checking
with the manufacturer that only one
shipment of this particular lot had
been made to Montana. After being
tried and found guilty, the accused
was fined and sentenced to serve
three years and four months for the
theft.
