Actors urge [ FURTHER STUDY jiiich Research Work Done n n Problem Os Tuber- ■ culosis Among Young K) tl problem of tuberculosis among K school pupils and young men ami Him women in industry between the K of fifteen to twenty-five has been Hught into sharp relief recently by and clinical research. Much work is to be done in the field definite conclusions can be Helied. but anti-tuberculosis authorithe country now are emphasizes the dire need of further study of of this disease and others ■ persons at "the neglected age.” ■'he National Tuberculosis Assoc ia K: of which the Indiana Tnberculo- ■ Association and 92 county associaKis throughout the state are constituSt parts, is attacking the problem of Kth in high schools in several ways ■ceutly a pamphlet has been issued ■which is summarized some of the ■coveries already available. Jessa■ne S. Whitney points out in this Zfai.phlet that while "the mortalitv Kin tuberculisis in general had declinK only half that amount, or eighteen K cent in the same period." ■What made this comparison the Kre striking,” she says, “were the ■ge declines which have taken place in all other age-grcups. The greatest Kline was shown for children under ■e. their tuberculosis mortality having declined over one-half in the deKi-. In the age-period twenty-five to Ktyfour, when the hazards of life are Kat for both men and women, the ®fenace of death from tuberculosis had ■ lined forty-two per cent. For chikl■n ages five to fourteen, the decline n- almost the same, forty-one per Ifcnt. Even the mortality of older perKia past sixty-five, showed a decline ■ thirty-one per cent. The young ■cup, fifteen to twenty-four, alone had *nde little progress in overcoming tujbei'i ulosis. ■‘‘There is great disparity between males and feipales. For the fifteen to ■jicteen group, the death rate for girls is about seventy-five per cent higher ■an that for boys, and at ages twenty ■ye per cent higher than the men. ■‘‘The problems of mortality of this Buung group are not peculiar to tuber|l|losis alone. A recent analysis of Sart disease figures shows that in e last ten years heart disease has Declined in every age-group up to age icity-five, except in the one we are ■scussing; viz., young people aged fifteen to twenty-four. ■•“ What is the answer? Nobody knows j ■frious causes are adduced. The in-1 ■eased industrialization of women ■ Inch took place during the war, fears, the extra-curriculum activities if'high school and college students, a lifterent and more virulent type of dislase at the younger ages, jazz parties ate hours, the scanty clothing of preent day young women, the physiologi:al changes following the adolescent period the dieting fad—all these in 'arying degree may have had their tart in the result." Results of an experimental study, iccording to the tuberculosis associaion‘s pamphlet, show that “a rela-i ively large percentage of active aesesl of tuberculosis) was found among ath etes engaged in the major sports." ‘Wide use of the X-ray is necessary n school examinations, “the pamphlet lays. “If funds are available, every stu-1 flent should be pictured. Such a jtolicv | will prove to be a wise investiment of i public funds. The public school is one of the most important fields in the control of I tuberculosis," the namphlet-eoutinues. i

and It's potential resources of Cltniial material should be thoroughly exploited. Every anti-tuberculosis association and organization should include in its pr. gram ample provision lor Intensive work among school chlld>en. When such a policy Is universally adopted and is considered as essenHal then we will approach with greater strides that day whim the “Great White Plague" is mastered and Is no I nger a menace to human kind. Dr. Linsley K. Williams, of the National Tuberculosis Association, points out that considerable difficulty is being expel ienceii in finding a technique lot teaching health to the high school group. Much work Is planned by the National ami its constituent associations in this field. Financing all this work is the tuberculosis Christmas Seal in sale in this community nt 1 hiistmas time. Without adequate support of this little health emblem, the high school health problem, as well as the tuberculosis problem in all its oth et phases, cannot be attacked properly. It is good citizenship to buy Christmas Seals and keep the war against tuberculosis at full speed. RACKETEERING COSTS CHICAGO (Continued from paok one) smaller concerns have raised the price of cleaning and pressing a suit' from a dollar to two dollars. It costs just twice as much to have a nat cleaned today as it did in the anteracketeer days. Cleaners were forced to join mythical “associations" at the threat of hat ing their shops bombed, or their clothing ruined by acid or molasses. The majority conceded defeat. Those few who have held out are in constant danger. The price of a haircut has risen from 35 cents to 75 cents since racketeers began organization of “Barber's Associations." Next came the shoe repair trade. The majority of shop owners in this trade preferred raising their prices and paying tribute to the racketeers than having their shops wrecked by bombs or their lives endangered by personal attacks. Garage men, surrendered to the racketeer only after cars had been stripped, tires slashed and windows broken in. Storage prices immediately rose from an average of $lO Per month to as high as $25 in order that the racketeer might have his “cuit." Candy dealers, florists, porters, even Kosher butchers, all were the

targets of violence as racketeers sought new means of tribute. Kosher meat packetrs were intimidated by having purls green thrown ill their sausage vats; grocers found their produce damaged, and in all cases the Individual who openly defied the racketeers was subject to being “taken for a ridel." A dozen or more unsolved slayings have been blamed upon the wur of the racketeers. The racketeer's tribute .usually consists of a joining fee which the tradesman must pay to get immunity from attack. In every instance the public pays the racketeer’s fee in increased cost of living necessities. State's Attorney-elect John A. Swanson, and the new commissioner of police, William F. Russell have promised the public that racketeering shall cease. The long suffering public hopes so. o Similarity in Diseases Silicosis, a disease caused by the in halation of dust, gives rise to symptoms exactly similar to tuberculosis l’o moke a differential diagnosis be tween the two is extremely difficult • — Let *Er Go, Professor “To be a successful tap dancer,’’ on I authority announces, “you must put everything you’ve got Into your work.” In other words you must put your heart and sole into it.—Farm and Fireside.
