Newspaper Aid Commented on in Se

Cross Stamp Sale.
By George Martin,
(United Prew Staff Correapondent.)
NEW YORK, March 5. The Na
tional Tuberculosis Association an
nounced today that the holiday Bale
of Red Cross Christmaa seals had
raised $1,000,000 tor the tuberculo
sis campaign.
"Without the co-operation of the
newspapers, these tremendous re
sults from the Red Cross seal sale
would have been Impossible," said
Dr. Charles J. Hatfield.
The association Is proud of the
fact that the slogan of the compatgi
"one seal tor every Inhabitant of the
United States," has been realized.
The sale last fall amounts to a vol
untary tax of one cent tor each man,
women and child In the country, ex
cept the insular possessions.
Seals were sold In every state and
territory of the United States ex
cept Guam, Tahiti and Samoa. Count
ing the school children who sold
Boals numbering approximately 300,-
000, the total number ot agents ap
proaches 600,000.
This includes school teachers, mer
chants, store keepers, and profes
sional men.
The association says the little
Christmas tokens have been respons
ible, not only for the control of tuber
culosis, but also tor tremendous ad
vances in the whole field of public
health work.
Open windows the whole year
through are today the rule rather
than the exception. Tuberculosis is
today generally recognized as curable
and preventable, while ten years ago
a vaBt number of people still held to
the theory that It was Inherited, in
curable and unpreventable.

ot the members of the upper house,
when 77 members favored the meas-i
ure. President Wilson called an extra
session of the Senate for today to
revise tbe rules and prevent further

to call an extra session of Congress
to pass the bill. The army and navy
bill, the military academy bill, and
other measures were defeated
through the filibuster. ,

President Wilson bitterly attacked
the filibustered. "A little group ot
wilful men have made the United
States contemptible before the entire
world," be said. t

safeguard the elementary rights ot
the citizen of the United States in
