TUBERCULOSIS IS NOT
CONFINED TO BIG CITIES
CHICAHO. Dec l:!. Doubt that tu
berculosis is a "city disease" was pre
: settled to the American Public Health
Association convention here today by
I Dr Hurt on It. Rogers of New York.
1 He said the secretary of the Indiana
| state board of health had written hint
i that out of a total population of 13,bon
j in Crawford county. Indiana. 2,000
j had died of tuberculosis within ten
I years.
"Can such a record be even paral
leled in the worst 'lung block' in the
j worst city in America?” asked the
speaker. "Investigation in other
states might reveal even worse con
ditions.”
Dr, Rogers explained that Crawford
county has 3o| square miles and that
the 13.000 residents are scattered on
1.861 farms and in L'l towns and vil
lages: the largest urban center con
taining less than I.L'oo inhabitants.
He added:
"It is doubtful if there is a three
story tenement in the county, and if
every house is not at least ten feet
from every other house and if every
living and sleeping room has not one
or more outside windows These are
certainly not city conditions."

MANUFACTURE
OF DESTROYERS
IS TO CONTINUE
WASHINGTON. Dec. 13—Success
of the navy in solving its war-time
aircraft problems is attributed to the
policy consistently followed of mak
ing this work conform to regular navy
pt active. Rear Admiral David \V.
j Taylor, chief constructor, in his an
j nual report, made public today, says
aircraft production has been handled
like other departmental technical
questions, and despite the great ex
pansion of forces necessary, "direc
tion and control of aircraft questions
have been cared for by officers famil
iar with the methods of the navy de
partment.
“Civilians,” Admiral Taylor contin
ue:-, "have thus been able to carry on
their naval work under the most fa
vorable conditions. This policy has
demonstrated its soundness. The types
of aircraft developed for production
have proved successful, changes have
been a minimum and have been adopt
ed only with a view to improvement."
As the report was prepared prior to
the cessation of hostilities, it does
not go into detail on any part of the
I building operations of the navy. As
to aircraft, however. It shows that
both types of seaplanes used by the
navy are "fundamentally American,"
improved in design on British experi
ence. In October production of the
two types was in excess of require
ments.
Development of balloons for naval
purposes also comes under Admiral
Tr.vlor’s bureau. His report shows
that much experimental work was
done with types of parachutes, an of
ficer of the construction corps having
dropped from an airship in flight and
from a kite balloon to test the design
adopted The same officer also suc
cessfully tried out a new type of
parachute "carrying the basket of the
kite balloon and its occupants."
The original plans of the naval air
craft factory at the Philadelphia yard
called for 1.000 small machines annu
ally. the report says In January.
lfilX. however, the navy's require
ments were suddenly expanded and
the plant was converted into an as
sembling center with four times that
capacity. The original program maxi
mum was reached last March and the
expansion work has .now also vv
completed.
Admiral Taylor gives no details ns
to the ship construction As to the
destroyer program, his most signifi
cant statement is that the govern
meat-owned plant at Squantum, Mass,
is to be continued as a permanent
adjunct of (lie navy.

VETERAN SEATTLEITE
RAISED WAR GARDEN
SKATTLK. Dec. 13- Could Kzra
Meeker, the pioneer who has driven
his ox-team hack to the national cap
ital over the old Oregon trail, have
slipped some of his 87 yearn from
his stooped shoulders, he would have
hren a private at least in the great
American army. This being impos
sible. however, he harked back to
the days when men lived by the toil
of their hands, and raised a war gar
den on an acre and a third of ground
ea d of Lake Washington
.lust the other day the veteran
walked into the Hed Cross rooms ami
laid down SJ.17 so, representing the
sum he had realized from his toil.
"It was a duty, and therefore a
pleasure.' he said, simply. "And I
do not think anyone should take
credit for doing what he considers
a duty.”
"Private" Meeker disdained the
modern tractor, and even the horse
for cultivating his ground He waged
war on the weeds with a hoe. Light
tons of fertilizer donated by a par-k
ing firm enriched the ground. A cili
zen paid for the cost of bringing water
to the land for Irrigation. Two Red
Cross women marketed the produce
At one end of the garden appeared
this sign:
"This garden Is dedicated to the
defenders of liberty."
It was “Private" Meeker’s answer
to the Hun.
