DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 31. 1919.

I. B. CRUSADE IS ON Accolades for Children Who t Fight the Disease. "Knighthood" Prize for Battle Against White Plague in the United I States. Washington.—-Through the agency of Major B. J. Lloyd of the United States health service, accolades will ba held in virtually every school in the country when the second annual tour nament of the modern health crusade comes to an end this school year. This was the statement made at the National Tuberculosis association offices, where the crusade was organized and where the new tournament was announced. The tournament held simultaneously all over the country for 15 weeks, begins with the opening of the term this fall. Last year, the first in which the annual jousts with disease took place, found many “pages,” “squires” and "knights” ready to be given their ti-; ties of knights banneret, the highest degree of honor to be received by the crusaders. In many cities and towns accolades were held and on the Western coast Major Lloyd personally gave ; the four “blows” to hundreds es “air , knights,” or boys and girls who had faithfully performed 11 health chores for the entire tournament and so became knights banneret. At the capltol In Washington the largest accolade of the crusade was held, with Vice President Marshall acting as league master and conferring the honors on the candidates. The steps of the capitol building were filled with children who had fought a winning fight against disease. There are 3,000,000 children in the crusade, and it is estimated that more than 75 per cent of them will win honors in the tournament. By completing the 11 health chores for the 15 weeks they will not only receive their titles, but will win badges and pins for the lesser ranks of page and squire and gold and silver buttons for the ranks of knights and knights ban neret. They will also win banners showing their class has been 100 per cent successful in the crusade. This is one of the vital phases of the fight against the white plague which will be directly affected by the success of the country-wide campaign of education now being conducted by the National Tuberculosis association.

NEW GERMAN CAPITAL SEEN Berlin Worried Lest Seat of Government Be Shifted to the Rhine. Berlin, Germany.—The Boersen Zeitung, one of the ablest German news, papers, says the fate of the city is in the balance and that it is. perhaps, too late to save it from becoming a i city of the second class, with the reI moval <>f the capital and the activity : in a business and political sense to some Rhineland, city. It is a theory that has beeq gaining ground lately and is causing Berlin to lose sleep. Strikes have followed one another in an endless succession. The uncertainty of the economic situation ali' most'led to a boycotting of Berlin as • the chief work center of Germany. DeI spite the huge expense, one Industry ! ul'ter anoth'-r left Berlin for quieter, steadier fields. Merchants, politicians and industrial leaders have predicted that the transfer of the assembly or reicl. -tag would inflict a severe blow on Berlin, especially if >t should lead to the choice of another capital.

STOLE THE PIES. Some one, either bent on doing mischief or with a. spirit of "getting even” pulled a stunt last evening 'that showed the calibre of the perpetrators of the deed. Meredith Stew|:>rt. gave a Hallowe'en party to some ’of his friends at his home on South Third street and his mother in her efforts to provide a nice luncheon for the guests had spent hours yesterday in baking about thirty small “individ I ual” pumpkin pies. About 8:30 o'clock these were place in a large aluminum I tray and placed on the gas range. She' left the kitchen for a few minute;, ujicl | had made sure that the rear screen door wus hooked. When she returned the pies were gone and, so was the tray. Investigation showed that the
