GOOD NEWS FOR
CHRISTMAS
Home coinings are happy times
for everyone but gayest of all are
those that re-unite the family at
the Christmas season. With the
approaching festivities of Christ
mas at hand mothers and fathers
are planning surprises that will
gladden the hearts of their boys
and girls. All about the home is
the delightfully mysterious air of
Christmas.
Soon thousands of our nation’s
youth will be leaving schools and
colleges to enjoy Christmas at
home. They will bring with them
a knowledge of new things and
thousands of them -will be able
to tell their parents that they are
feeling fit and are in the best of
health. Thousands can say proud
ly that they passed a perfect phy
sical examination and that the
doctor congratulated them when
they were given the tuberculin
test and showed no signs of hav
ing tuberculosis.
No news should thrill the hearts
of fathers and mothers like this
news because tuberculosis claims
more victims between the ages of
15 and 25 years than any other
disease. That is why we need
tuberculin tests periodically for
all our young men and women
and especially for young women
in this age group because the
death rate for them is one and
one-half times that of young men
of the same age. Scientists have
!
not yet discovered the exact rea
son for this tragic situation, but
we have it to face. •
Our newer knowledge of tuber
culosis which includes tuberculin
tests and X-rays is now making
it possible to discover cases early
so that young men and women
can live long and useful lives. By
your purchase of Christmas Seals
you are helping to build better
health for our nation’s youth. By
your purchase of Christmas Seals
you are helping to preserve Am
erican family life.

money that could be put to work

forward promptly the screws of

There appears to be legislative
opinion that the country is aiding
'Japan in the war in the far east,
unintentionally but effectively
nevertheless, by supplying too
much war material, and the old

Such, generally stated, believe

capitol dome and the territory
that can be seen from its pinnacle
The Brussels conference, con
vened in the hope of doing some
thing for China, seems likely to
I expire peacefully and be buried
with decorum, at no very distant
date. There is an almost forgot
ten college song which begins:
“When you hear the roll of the
big bass drum, then you may
know that the Dutch have come.”
The reference to the Dutch or
Germans, has nothing to do with
the situation and was quoted
merely to finish the couplet. The
Brussels meeting had no more
' potent weapon than sound, the
roll of the big bass drum, behind
it. The lack of substantial means
toward an acknowledged end
made the conference an affair
that ranged from formal and dip
lomatic chatter to what Shakes
peare calls "angry parle”, and
when all was over the Chinese
found themselves right where
they were when the confag be
