Realizing that the man was in
no condition TO go home, 20 miles

across the street to the hotel.

Census Bureau
Figures Population
Above l67 Million
BY the Associated Press

The Census Bureau estimates
the United States population
on April l at l67,44O,000 in
GLIDING armed forces overseas.
The bureau said yesterday this
was a gain of 16,30S,0O0. or 1913
per cent over the l5l,132, 900 on
April !, 1850, when the latest
census was taken.
1t estimated that about 10
per cent Of the net population
gain in the last six years was
accounted for by a net civilian
immigration of II million.
The bureau said approxi-
mately 235 million babies were
born in the period 1850 through
1855. This was almost as many
as the total births in the decade
l930-l940. A total Of 4,09l 900
births last year was a record
high, the bureau said.
During the six-year period
there we're more than nine mil
lion deaths. The total last year
was 1881 900, or 9.3 deaths per
1000 population. This was a
slight rise over the the record
low mortality rate OF 81 deaths
per 1000 population in 1854.

Over-Anxiety on Contogion
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

| Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Is there
any danger of infection from
lung tuberculosis from household
goods received from house
where someone died of this
disease five years ago?
I am a reader of your column
Would you have a minute to
answer this question which has
had my worry department
working overtime?
Some of the articles Curtains,
dishes, etc. I have left packed
as they came. and stored them
in fruit cellar where I keep
other food for my family. Could
these be a source of infection?
To date no one in my family
has contracted tuberculosis.
My aunt had been dead about
two years when 1 received these
articles. Many of them l have
washed well, or aired outdoors
and used. An ivy plant bothered
me most, since I wondered if
the germs could have been car
ried in the moisture of roots and
so forth. boiled the pot and
kept the plant until it died. Now
the silly idea persists that the
germs may have gotten into
other plants in the event that
slips from the ivy plant con-
tacted them.
had all but argued myself
free of this notion on the basis
of an article by Dr.. Perkins
managing director of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association
He stated that personal contact

has TB in an active stage, OF

milk from tuberculous cows are
main sources of contact.
Makes Phone Inquiry
I inquired recently by tele-
phone, from a chest clinic, about
this plant idea. The nurse dis
cussed the question with some
one and finally came up with the
answer they don't think so" and
suggested that I sterilize the pot
in some manner.
However, told this individual
my relative was dead two years
when 1 received the plant, but
she did not know that my aunt
was actually dead five years. Hel
reply started my doubts all over
again about the articles 1 am
using or intend to use.
Various individuals among the
laity. men and women alike, say
Forget it," Is this your opinion
doctor?
1t would be greatly appreciated
if you would reply to this re-
quest. 1t must be silly since
even writing this seems silly
However, 1 wish to recover peace
of mind on this issue. Evidently
1 have already given it too much
thought. What do you think?
Sincerely, Mrs. A. A.

that majority control Is placed

Delegates also emphasized

when asked a specific question
by a reader: This is only my
opinion. Remember that l am
hundreds of miles away from the
actual evidence. Nevertheless,
believe you can go to bed to-
night and look forward to an un-
troubled sleep.
1t is not surprising 10 me that
so many persons become APP
prehenSive about contagiouSness
of various diseases. We, as ply
Sicians, keep warning you against
unnecessary exposure to an
others infection.
We tell you not to cough OF
sneeze into your neighbours face
otherwise he will surely catch
cold" We tell you to keep your
hands ScrupulouSly clean; and
you. in turn, tell little Johnnie
or Mary to "be sure you wash
your hands before you come to
the table" For years we have
been telling you that typhoid is
easily transmitted by water, milk
vegetables and other things we
INCEST: if they harbor the typhoid
bacillus.
The same holds true for small
pox, diphtheria, pneumonia, po-
lilo, meningitis and dozens of
other conditions.
Therefore, I believe Mrs. A. A.
has been far from silly" She
has been wise to inquire. But
having received SO many answers
in the negative, it is time she
accepted these as being likely
evidence. Otherwise, for the rest
of her life she will live under a
dark cloud Of anxiety.

The Details
Ruth-My sister, Clara, is
proving a terrible trial to my
parents and to me, and I can't
understand her at all. I see her
in school, where I am in the
senior class and she is a sopho-
more. and she is the model of
courtesy, agreeableness and good
behavior. But at home, she is a
terror. No one dares ask her
to do anything. and if she does
condescend to help in the house.
work, she invariably does some
damage.
Clara manages to have a lot
of dates and spends most of her
time away from home. But am
stuck at home and seldom can
go out. never have a date, and
1t seems l am never expected to.
I'd like to get away from it by
going to college out of town, but
l am afraid that if I am not at
home, Clara and my parents will
never get along at all,
Clara-I would like to help at
home, but 1 cannot endure the
fault-finding. Ruth simply does
those things better than I, but
| do not see why l should always
be nagged and compared to my
disadvantage.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
In school, Clara is DESTROYS of
establishing and maintaining a
good reputation so she will be
accepted and looked up to; at
home Clara must feel she is al
ready damned by reputation and
therefore in a hopeless position.
Comparison is an odious proc
ess. and it has been painfully so
to Clara. AS the younger of two
sisters, she was naturally less
skillful in household duties. The
parents might have avoided
comparisons that would wound
the sensibilities of the younger
child. and might have trained
her in some little speciality of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-22

household work so her pride
would be appeaSed.
Ruth could do a great deal
during the coming months to
ease this tension and prepare
Clara to adjust herself to her
home next year, when she will
be alone with her parents. Ruth
has an opportunity not only to
prepare Clara for the future, but
to establish a closer relationship
with her. In the process, Ruth
would also be gaining a little
more freedom for herself.
Ruth should make a direct APP
proach to Clara, explaining the
fact that circumstances had
tended to crowd Clara out of
things at home and Offering TO
help train her in some house
hold arts. She must diSpel any
motions of stigma or disfavor
attaching to Clara. and put the
whole situation on a rational
basis.
