THROUGH THE SENTINEL RERISCOPE

The special session of the 18th Territorial Legislature became his tory last Saturday and Monday the lawmakers convened in reguIa biennial session at Juneau for 50 days. By previous agreement. Stan McCutcheon of Anchorage was nov ed up to Speaker of the House. succeeding James Nolan of Wran gell who had the chair during the special, and Gunnard Enge- breth, also of Anchorage, became President of the Senate. replacing who had presided at the special. Howard Lyng of Nome. Democratic National Committeeman, was elect ed President pro tenn of the Senate. He succeeds Engebreth.
 Major action of the IT day spe- cial session was the enactment of a Territorial net income tax which is effective as of the first of the year and leyies 10 percent of the amount the taxpayer pays the Federal government under the h. ternal Revenue Act. There are no exemptions and provision is made for withholding from wages. Pay ments are due at the same time payments are made under the Federal act. The act is first of the three-point basic tax legislation to be enacted. The other two, pro- perty tax and business license tax, have already been introduced in SC license tax, if enacted by the Leg .islature, will not become effective until such time as the Congress repeals the present business license tax law.
 %& <
 All the tax bills which failed in the special have been reintro- duced in the regular session and there promises to be a flood of others dealing with virtually every subject known to man. and possibly some man isn't quite sure about With the passage of the income tax law, the tempo is down somewhat on other proposed tax measures and it's probable some bright ideas will fall by the wayside.
 z @#
 A bill is expected to be intro duced shortly asking cancellation of the s11.000 balance owing the Territory by the Town of Wran- gell on the old $40. 900 school bond loan. In addition to paying s29, 900 on the principal the town had paid s25.32O in interest alone. a total considerable more than the original loan No interest has been paid since 1915 when then Repre- sentative Fred Hanford was able 10 get through a bill cancelling the interest It is expected Repre- sentatives Nolan and Barnes will ask for write-off of the whole thing. Some Territorial officials feel it should have been done years ago.

KEEPING HEALTHY
tuberculosis Is Still Common
By Dr.. james W. Barton

BEFORE THE X-ray was in gen.
- eral use for examination of the
chest for tuberculosis, the physi-
clan had to strike the chest wall
with his fingers, listen to sounds of
the chest by aid of the stethoscope,
and then look through microscope
to try to find the tubercle bacillus
in the patients sputum.
While these methods of examina-
ton, together with the temperature
taken three times daily, discovered
most cases of tuberculosis, it was
not until X-ray examination of the
chest was used that tuberculosis
and its location and extent we're
really made known.
Just before the X-ray examina-
ton of the chest for tuberculosis
came into use, it was believed that
practically all of US had tubercu-
losis at some time in our lives, but
that most of us outgrew it or else
it was in a quiet stage and so
was causing no symptoms. Today,
lung specialists state that tuber-
culosis is present in an active or in
"quiet" state in about rs per cent
of the population.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1949-05-27

While it would take much time
and money to obtain an X-ray of
the chests of everybody, it is GER
tainly worth it as it would save
many useful lives. To save time
and money, and thus get individuals
and whole communities to have
their chests examined, it has been
suggested that the Horoscope be
used in mass surveys.
The advantages of the Horoscope
where the examining physician, by
means of the X-ray machine, can
look directly into the chest is that
it shows the extent of the move
ment of the lungs, and the size,
rhythm and position of the heart.
The entire chest can be examined,
by moving the Horoscope and the
patient. The disadvantage of the
Horoscope is that no permanent
study record is made for the physi-
clan or X-ray specialist. While
X-ray of the chest is considered
the best single detection method,
the physical examination and tuber-
culin test also are used.

Of the living room and to the dining
porch. Sink and storage shelves are
along the outside wall, with the
stove and additional storage area
on the inside wall. This arrange
ment provides numerous econo-
mics.
The work room is adjacent to
the dining room porch but far
enough from the living and bed
rooms to confine disturbing noises.
The two bedrooms, each with two
exposures, contain ample closet
space and are close to the bath
room.
The garage is separated from the
house by breezeway, which can
also serve as an outside porch.
The basement includes several
features considered essential to
comfortable living on farm. 1t is

Answer: You can't possibly help
getting angry any time that you
are frightened or hurt, and telling
yourself you are "above such feel
mgs" only leads you to repress
your anger out of consciousness
and perhaps take it out on your
SELF" But whether you'll give way
to a fit of temper depends upon
your emotional maturity-your abil-
ity to stop and think whether the
consequences will be worth it, in
the long run, as they rather seldom
will be. The old rule of counting
ten before you speak" is both good
psychology and good sense.
