CHRISTMAS SEALS AIO TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT SENATOR NORRIS Knowledge and Practice of the Rules of Health Greatest •. Need. In 1924, 593 Oregon people died with tuberculosis. Best estimates in dicate that probably 5000 are afflicted with the disease. Careful studies show that between ths ages of 15 and 40, which may be called the best years of life, more Oregonians die of tuber culosis than from any other cause of death and the same Is true through out the United States as a whole. All this is in spite of the fact tuberculosis is known to be preventable and cure able. “We know enough about tubercu losis to scotch it within a generation. It is hot lack of knowledge, it is lack of application of knowledge that im pedes our. progress.” These were the words of Dr. Allen K. Krause, leading American authority on tuberculosis, when he visited Oregon last summer. He also pointed out that the knowl edge which makes physicians confi dently assert that “tuberculosis is pre ventable and cureable’' is not knowl edge regarding medicines or treat ments that can be called “specific cures.” It Is knowedge regarding the fundamental rules of healthy living. It Is disregard of the rules of healthy living that permits tuberculosis to con tinue as so great a menace to humane life. It Is knowledge of these rules, and care in their application which will eventually overcome tuberculosis It is the tremendous progress In thia direction which has made possible thr- 50% reduction in the tuberculosis death rate in the United States within the last 15 years, and the 28% reduction in Oregon’s rate within the last ten years.

C.—After a delay of nearly throe years, the senate heeded the repeated urging» of the White House and began debate on a resolu tion proposing American membership tn the World Court. Even In its beginnings, the discus sion took on many of the same char acteristics that vitalized the senate’s long struggle over the league of na tions. Once more the mantle of lead ership for favorable senate action fell upon the shoulders of a democratic spokesman. In opposition stood a de termined phalanx ot Irreconcflables under the captaincy of a republican chairman of the foreign relations com mittee. Holding the balance was a group whose leaders had been the “mild reservationists” of the fight over the league. The resolution of adherence upon which debate began was offered by Senator Swanson of Virginia, ranking democrat on the foreign relations com mittee, without the approval of Chair man Borah. Chairman Borah, of the foreign rela tions committee, fired the first salvo Into the pro-court ranks. Replying to the opening shots from Senator Swanson, democrat, Virginia, and Lenroot, republican, Wisconsin, the Idaho senator undertook to estab lish what relation the world court bears "to the political Institution known as the league of nations."
