The war against animal tuberculosis,

goes on wllh Increasing vigor from
BOOth to month. In order that the
country wide situation may ho cleurly

other areas have Infection somewhere
between these two extremes.
The area with 0.B per cent or less
of tuberculosis embraces 2 1 .(KM square
miles, or 0.1 per cent of the entire area
of the country. A large part Of the
United Htates, more than 2.0OO.IMS)
square mites, has less than one per

of the entire areii, and accounts for
the recent statement by the depart

of the dlseuae within eight years. A
little more than 18 per cent of the
country's area has from one to three

ON PLANET MARS
Bun Francisco. An Interpretation
of the recent observations of Mara!
when the planet was at Us closest 1
point to the earth "strengthens the
probability that Mars Is fitted to sup
port life." said Uobert (!. Allken, as

University of California, In a lecture
here.
o went on to explain: "If, a
many observers In lieve, the greenish
tinge ot mil suidice ureas In the
early Murtlnn summer Is due to vege
tat Ion, then undoubtedly animal life,
al least of low form is present, fur the
two are always coexistent on our
earth. This Is not at all improbable,
but It cannot as yet be regarded as
definitely established."
