HEALTH FOR ALL
The person who has had tuber
culosis is aware of the importance
of a regular check-up with his
doctor, the periodic medical ex
amination he gets to make cer
tain he is keeping his regained
health.
But medical check-up to make
sure tuberculosis isn’t ruining
one’s health are not only a con
cern of the former patient. Every
individual 15 years of age and
over, whether or no he looks and
feels healthy, should get a chest
X-ray as-part of his annual phy
sical examination to make sure
that his lungs are sound.
A person can have tuberculos
is without knowing it, and with
out looking or feeling as if he has
it. For when tuberculosis first
strikes, 1t seldom makes itself
known with obvious symptoms.
Hence, a person unaware that he
is ill with tuberculosis will unwit
tingly allow his illness to progress
until apparent systoms cause him
to visit the doctor. These outward
symptoms rarely appear before the
disease has reached an advanced
stage—when tuberculosis is dif
ficult to cure.
Early Stages
But there is a way of detecting
tuberculosis in an early stage, the
stage that is easiest to cure. It is
by means of the chest X-ray which
can show up evidence of tuber
culosis in the lungs in the earliest
stages.
A chest X-ray shows one of two
things. The chest X-ray film, will
be clear, incdicating that there is
no evidence of disease and a per
son’s lungs are sound. Or, the film
will show up shadows or suspi
cious signs, indicating that some
thing may be wrong and that fur
ther invéstigation is needed. Diag
nosis of tuberculosis is never made
on evidence of a chest X-ray alone.
Other tests are made before final
diagnosis.
One good report on an X-ray
film, however, does not guarantee
a person against tuberculosis for
life. We cannot be certain that
tuberculosis will not strike at a
later date. That is why your doc
tor, your health department, and
your tuberculosis association urge
that every adult have a chest X~
ray at least once a year.
It is estimated that there are
about a quarter of a million ‘“un
known” cases of tuberculosis in
this country—people unknown to
the health authorities, many of
whom do not even know are ill.
1f every adult had a chest X-ray
annually, these unknown cases
would be found and tuberculosis
would be discovered more often
in an early stage when it is easiest
to cure.
CAREFUL COUNT
The currency of the United
States is printed with 68 pounds of
ink on every 100 pounds of paper.
Each - sheet of paper money is
counted 18 times: 15 by hand and
three by machine.
The twilight” glow of early
morning and evening is due to
dust particles blown off comets
vaporized by sunlight.

CAA Book Gives
Hints To Pilots
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Two
hundred questions and answers
providing knowledge which will
enable the private pilot to fly
with greater safety have been
published in booklet form by the
Civil Aeronautics Administration.
Future written examinations for
private pilot ratings will be on
questions taken verbatim from
this booklet.
In an effort to get questions
which are practical and realistic,
the CAA went to the grass roots
of aviation for suggestions. The
Examinations Branch, through
CAA agents in the field, contacted
nearly every flight operator, flight
instructor, flight examiner, and
flight school in the United States
for ideas on the problems facing
private pilots. In addition, a care
ful analysis was made of accidents
involving private pilots, and
questions were written pointing
up proper procedures to eliminate
many dangerous situations. Thus,
the material in the booklet, select
ed from thousands of ideas and
questions submitted, covers essen
tial information which the CAA
feels each private pilot should
krniow. ?
The questions are brief and are
submitted in true-false form.
The booklet, entitled “Questions
and. Answers for Private Pilots,”
is on sale at 15 cents a copy by
the Superintendent of Documents,
U. S. Government Printing Office,
‘Washington 25, D. C.

The first World War changed a lot of things, including lqthing suits. 'These are some California
damsels in the advanced styles of 1920. Stripes were the thing, and you can see a definite trend away
from the form-hiding fashions of earlier years. But there are still some left-overs of the pantaloon
and-long-sleeve era. They all wear some stockings, either long or rolled dov;a below the knee. And
the bathing suits are all skirted (although briefly) with trunks underneath. The low sandal had
just about replaced the high, laced bathing shoe, but the girl at the right hadn’t heard that siory yei

A HORSE ON CONGRESS — Samuel Rosenberg, Washington,

price controls on cattle. He expressed his displeasure by offering
horsemeat “filly mignons” to members of the *“horsemeat Congress.”
Judge Anna Kross Says Crime
Is Strictly A Woman's Problem
By HAL BOYLE I
NEW YORK—(AP)—“Crime is
a woman’s problem,” says Magis- |
trate Anna Kross. ;
And 18 years on the bench have |
convinced her that only women{
can do anything permanent about |
reducing the crime rate in the|
United States. !
“The men can’t do it,” she said
flatly. “They have proved that.
“Today the womanpower of
America should be saddled to‘
clean up the country—physically
and morally. But they can’t do it
b##doing what men have been do
ing for so long—merely paying lip
service to Democracy.” |
How can the ordinary house=|
wife do anything about stopping |
crime? i
“Well, she can‘t check it by
merely seeing that her own chil
dren get home on time,” said
Judge Kross. “She has to be will
ing to do something about the kids
on the other side of the railroad
tracks. You can’t get rid of small
pox just by inoculating the peo
ple who live on the hill.”
Blunt Spoken
The blunt-spoken little jurist—
a mother herself — believes the
whole approach to the problem of
wiping out crime has been wrong.
She believes the basic cure lies
in creating kappy families, and
feels if a family is sick the indivi
duals in it will be sck, too.
“Courts, prsons and police -
what do they do but give society
a sense of security?” she said.
“They are only part of a strait-
jacket at best.
“There isn't a prison in our
country that doesn't become a
post-graduate school for eriminals.
What juvenile court judge in this
ecountry is really trained for his
job? None, He got that job only
because he knew the right person
at the right time. -
“There isn’t one perfect juve
nile court setup in America. The
best of them are inadequately
equipped.”
Judge Kross feels that expo
sures such as those made by the
Kefauver Committee do little real
good.
“I have seen investigation after
investigation make mayors, gov=
ernors or senators,” she said, “but
the problem remains.
“It is all very well to stir up a
community, to let it know what is
really going on. But knowing
what is going on and doing noth
ing about it—that is a real crime,
too.
Must Be Realistic
“We have to become realistic
and face the music. = Politics is
corrupt not because of the politi
cians but because of the apathy
of citizens. We have better gov
ernment than we deserve.”
Crime thrives, she added, be
cause of “hyprocisy--and because
everybody ducks responsibility.
“If there were a really serioué
desire to end crime jn this coun
try it could be done—by women.
The women of any community can
go to their chief of police and
force him to clean it up.”
But years of seeing a human
tide of misery flow in and out of
her court have convinced Judge
Kross the final answer is this:
“We need more education for
living. We are what our family
background made us. Unless you
take that inte consideration, any
other effort is meaningless.”
. “Wise is the child that knows
how to choose his own parents.
Nobody should be permitted to
marry unless he can give proof
I&e I’l"nderstands the responsibili
es.
