Higher Rate Is Attributed to
Effect of Depression
Intelligent Interest of
' Public Is Held Big Need
NEW YORK (UP) -Juat u the
pott-war d&ys of 1018 precipitated a
decided Increase in tuberculoslt mor
tality in the United States, ao has
tha recent years of economlo depres
sion brought about a climbing rate
of deaths from the same malady in
this country. In the opinion of Dr.
Kendall Emerson, managing director
of the National Tuberculosis associa
tion. After a careful survey of figures
gleaned from the records of the state
boards of health Just submitted to
the National Tuberculosis association,
Dr. Emerson found that 24 states
and the District of Columbia showed
higher death rate for last year than
Id 193S. The lowest mark was O.J per
eent In New Jersey. Oklahoma top
ped the field with 22.7. Since the In
crease had been expected, according
to Dr. Emerson, a great deal of em
phasis has been placed on a health
program to halt this spreading dis
ease. The death rate from tubercu
losis was approximately only 4 per
cent during the years 1025-1033.
Delaware Record Best
The g reft test headway made against
tuberculosis was In Delaware, where
the original Christmas Seals were sold
to years ago. Nebraska and Wyoming
follow close behind. Delaware reported
drop In deaths per 100,000 persons
from 61.S In 1939 to 48 8 In 1030, or
t decrease of 157 to 126 In the num
ber of deaths as against 300 In 1938.
Wyoming shows a drop from 32.4 to
16.0.
According to btate statistics, the
total tuberculosis death rate for the
United States rose from 64.5 per cent
In 1935 to 66.4 In 1936. A total Of 89.
471 persons, for the most part be
tween the ages of 16 and 45, died of
tuberculosis In 1935 In the United
attatei, while the total rone to 70,907
Hi 1936. With the exception of New
Hampshire, all other sections of the
country showed Increased death rate
New York Toll 7.040
In New York state, 7,640 people
died of tuberculosis in 1936 as com
pared with 7.427 in 1935. the death
rate per 100,000 population Increas
ing from 57.6 per cent to 69.1.
Hawaii and Puerto Rico reported
Increases for last year, in Hawaii,
there were 330 deaths with a rate of
7 per 100,000 population. In 1935,
the rate was 76.0. In Puerto Rico, the
rate jumped from 207.8 In 1935 to
600. 8 the following year, the number
of deaths going from 6,094 to 5,182.
"With the Improvement In our
technic for handling tuberculosis, It
should be possible to prevent any ma
terial rise In the death rate," Dr.
Emerson aald. "By a concentration of
ffore we hope to start the annual
mortality from this disease once more
on the downward trend.
Must Anticipate Epidemics.
"Epidemics vary with different sea
sons of the year and according to
certain laws of perlodtty. One of the
many Important duties of public
health education la to anticipate
auch accidents and to be prepared to
decrease their seriousness by speed
ing up known methods of prevention.-
An aroused and Intelligent public
Interest Is the greatest aid In organ
ised prevention of dlseaae. In Dr.
Emerson's opinion.
"A people alert to a threatened
danger will cooperate to avert It." he
said. "Though the rise In tubercu
losis mortality la slight at the mo
ment, It should be taken as a call to
arms and the people of the country
should rally around the publio health
service as a well-trained army of vol
unteers to aid In turning back this
ruthless enemy of human health be

haa been forced progressively to re

idly. And tha; has created the need
for "development of a social studies
program."
For a year and a half, under Dr.
Morrison's direction, 200 schools
have been doing some experimenting
to see what the new program should
be like. By next spring, he predicts,
10,000 teachers with 200,000 pupils
from primary to sixth grade will
be engaged In the experiment.
No complete change in the cur
riculum should be made until ex
periment have gone on three or
four years, Dr. Morrison feels. But
here's what he's aiming at:
Abandoning history, geography.
sociology and economics as stereo
typed subjects and blending them
so they will fit the child's needs.
"Why should a child in the fourth
grade, for example, learn about tbe

SPEAKS THE
Prophet of Profit
THE crystal is clearing:. I see a dark man. A very
dark man. You are paying- him some money, and he
is giving you something. No, I can't see what it is.
Sometimes it looks like a thimble. Sometimes it looks
like an automobile. I see by your smile that you think
you have a bargain. I know by his smile that you
have not.
Now he is leaving his store. He is going to dinner
and the theater. Then he will go to the club. He is
doing himself well on your money. The article you
bought? Too bad. A blind bargain.
But the scene changes. The dark man is gone. You
are reading the advertisements in this paper. You
know the honest prices, the quality brands. You are
finding where to buy. You are getting your money's
worth . . . and more. You have discovered that adver
tisements are your true prophets of profit!
