TUBERCULOSIS DEATH RATE IS DOWN TO HALF Christmas Seals Are Chief Source of Funds in Fighting Disease. P.V Time * Special NEW YORK. Dec. 2.—Twentyfive years ago tuberculosis was claiming 200 lives In each 100.000 annually: today Its toll has been cut to less than half that figure. Within a short time civilization may expect to eliminate the, scourge entirely. These are the facte brought out by Williafn Frederick Bigelow, editor of Good Housekeeping magazine, in an editorial appeal for the generous purchase of the Christmas seals of the National Tuberculosis Association. Where the situation was regarded as hopeless at the beginning of the century, it has now been firmly established that tuberculosis is curable. But the fight Is only half won, Mr. Bigelow points out. Tuberculosis still leads all other diseases as a cause of death among people in the prime of life. Young are Victims "Three years ago it caused i 91,568 deaths in the registration area,” he says, "and of these victims 56,746 were boys and girls, young men and women—more women under 30 than men of the same age period. But whatever the age or sex, a death from tuberculosis is a needless death, for proof is both abundant and positive that tuberculosis can be cured. "Perhaps you helped to save some of these lives. ' 7 ou mast certainly did if you co-operated with the National Tuberculosis Association, which you did if you bought only a single Christmas seal. And if you realized the seriousness of the situation and bought the seals generously. your share was just that much greater.” 800,000 Cases Today What the national campaign has accomplished in its first 25 years can be duplicated in even a shorter time, but only if the war against I the disease is carried on without a halt and without laxity on the part of the supporting public, the Good Housekeeping editor shows. “The road back to health is a long one, long and uncertain unless the patient has rest and an untroubled mind and good food,” he continues. "These must frequently —if not usually—be provided for through sources outside the patient’s family. Hence the necessity for larger sums of money. There j are more than 800,000 tuberculosis j cases in the country today, hence j the need for an ever-increasing j army of seal purchasers.”

They’re new envoys of Uncle Sam on foreign soil. Now counselor to the American embassy in Madrid and long experienced in state department affairs, Sheldon Whitehouse, left, of New York, has been nominated minister to Guatemala. Pictured at the right is a meeting in Washington between Senator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey, who soon will go to France as American ambassador succeeding the late Myron T. Herrick, and Charles G. Dawes (extreme right), who returned to this country on a brief business visit after serving for several months as ambassador to Great Britain.

MRS. ROSS MAY RUN FOR SEAT Former Governor Is Touted as Senate Candidate. /{;/ Seripps-Tlaward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former Democratic Governor of Wyoming, and now head of the women’s division of the Democratic national committee in this city, is being discussed by politicians as the most likely candidate the Democrats can place in the field at the special election to be held in Wyoming to choose a successor to the late Senator Francis E. Warren, Republican. For many years the Republican state legislature of Wyoming, recognizing the advance age of Senator Warren, had endeavored to safeguard Republican succession to his seat. It was for this reason, Democrats openly charged, that the law was passed providing for a special election in case of vacancy in either senate or house. While this alleged partisan measure was adopted to tie the hands of a Democratic Governor, it now operates most effectually to tie the hand of a Republican chief execu-

But for this law, Wyoming's Republican Governor might appoint a Republican senator. 530,000 Loss in Garage Fire Bp United Press EDINBURG, Ind., Dec. 2.—A fire loss estimated at $30,000 was caused by an overheated stove at the Stoughton garage here. The garage and most of its contents were destroyed. Exploding gasoline in automobiles stored in the garage made fire fighting dangerous.

Better Service Costs Less The numerous rate reductions made in recent years have taken a large slice off the bill for railway freight service paid by the American people. The 1928 bill was $152,000,000 less than the same amount of transportation would have cost at the average rate of 1923-24, $416,000,000 less than it would have cost at the average rate of 1922 and $840,000,000 less than it would have cost at the average rate of 1921. But that does not tell the whole story. While the price of railway freight service has been going down, its quality has been going up, and the better service has .saved additional money for shippers and receivers of freight. These additional savings have come chiefly from the improved speed and dependability of railway freight service. Faster service has reduced interest charges on the value of goods in transit, and more dependable service has enabled dealers to reduce the size of their reserve stocks and thus to make savings in the cost of carrying inventories. Better service also has helped to make the flow of business more responsive to changing styles and conditions, and that has meant savings. Further savings have come from the safer handling of freight; shippers have had fewer claims for loss and damage. The savings from lower rates, large as they are, considerably understate the total savings in the costs of business generally for which the railroads “have been responsible. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A. DOWNS, President, Illinois Central System CHICAGO. December 2, 1929. -Good Service Deserves Good Will—-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MISS MEXICO IS FREEDJY JURY Acquitted of Murder; Appea' of Lawyer Eloquent. Bv United Press MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2.—A jury deliberated only forty minutes to reach a verdict of not guilty, freeing Maria Teresa De Lands De Vidal. "Miss Mexico,” of a charge of murdering her husband, the wealthy General Mouses Vidal. The trial attracted wide attention throughout Mexico. The defendant had been chosen "Miss Mexico” at the annual beauty pageant at Galveston a little more than a year ago. Closing sessions of the Sunday were broadcast by radio. The jury’s decision partly was attributed to the eloquent defense appeal of Attorney Jose Maria Lozano who painted a picture of a temporarily crazed Miss Mexico shooting at her husband, when she read he already had an undivorced wife and two children.
