LACK OF ROOM CAUSE OF DELAY IN ADMITTING OF PATIENTS State Of Georgia Loses $9,000,000 Ae Result Of Death From Tuberculosis Because the present Sanatorium haa only 100 beds. There is at present a waiting list of 60 patients begging that they be admit ted to treatment. There are seldom less than 35 on this list. During the past 18 months we have averaged admission of 19 patients per month. If we continue to be able to do this, it will take over 3 months to reach and admit to treatment the 60th patient. These months of suffering to the patient and heartaches for the fam ily, not to mention the time lost in curing the patient, and the advance of the disease, many cases lose all chances of cure in three months. The average time between receipt of application and admission of the patient during the past year was 5 weeks. Approximately 3,000 patients die ol Tuberculosis in Georgia annually. For every death, It is estimated that there are 10 other persons 111 with Tubercu losis. Sociologists value human life at $3,- 000. If this figure is correct, Georgia has a loss of $9,000,000 a year by reason of deaths by Tuberculosis alone! The loss from sickness from Tuberculosis amounts to such a figure as to almost stagger comprehension. Georgia Is furnishing not a single bed for the care of Tubercular Negroes, and yet 45% of our population are Ne groes, and Tuberculosis is two or three times more frequent among the Ne groes, who are brought in close contact with the White race as cooks, and ser vants, and what is more serious, as nurse girls for our children, and thus spreading the disease to the White race, The larger-ilanatorium would make it possible to take care of 100 Negroes and 300 White. $500,000 would build a modern Sanatorium to accomplish this, The number of patients rejected In 1921 was 56, some because they were too far advanced to be benefited by the Sanatorium as equipped at pres ent; some were discouraged by the length of the wait and went elsewhere for treatment: some died while wait ing to be admitted. A larger, more modern Sanatorium would reduce the number of rejected patients and deaths There are no accommodations fox the care of children, they cannot be properly treated under the present conditions. The new Sanatorium would be built with this problem In mind, for it Is In children that the disease la found in Its earliest stages, and most can be done for Tuberculosis, both as a disease and as a problem in Public* Health and Public Welfare. DOCTOR DOES NOT SIGN DEATH CERTIFICATE We have been told that about 30% of the death certificates filed with the State Board of Health are signed by others than physicians. Does this mean that about one-third of our peo ple who die are not attended by a doctor? THE Mascot Combination Coal or gas, or both— Switches from one to the other without change of a plate.

MILLION DOLLAR INCOMES DECLINE FROM 206 TO 33 War Period Shows Peak of Money Earning. Washington, D. C.—Million dollar in comes are growing steadily scarcer, ac cording to a report made public by the Treasury department.

In 1920 the num ber was 33, wlille in 1913, at the peak of the war time prosperity, the num ber w as 206. The number of incomes of almost every class showed a falling off. Those in tlie class of $500,009 to $1,090,00 dropped from 123 in 1920 to 63 in 1921. In all the classes above SIOO,OOO a year the number decreased from 3,649 in 1920 to 2,352 in 1921.

Museum Seeking Last of Cigar Store Indians New York.—John Cotton Dana, di rector of the Newark museum, Is hav ing some diffiaalty in finding one of the ancient race of wooden Indians, who up until ten years ago used to stand at the door of almost every to bacconist In the city, a tomahawk raised in one hand, a bunch of cigars clutched In the other. James Campbell, who died on Feb. 12, 1928, was the man who carved many of those figures. He cut most •f them out with a hatchet. He never explained why the big chief was al ways represented In such a menacing attitude. Perhaps he was after the man who gave him the cigars, per haps he was defending them. There are five known cigar-store Indians in New York city at the pres ent time. 150 Burglaries a Day Committed in Berlin Berlin.—A meeting of criminal tech nologists was held recently In the Berlin city hall, at which Mr. Goll ner, engineer-in-chief, spoke on mod ern methods of protection against bur glary. He drew a comparison !>etween crime before and since the war. In 1900 there were on an average two burglaries a day in Berlin, whereas in 1922 not less thnn 150 a day were recorded. The burglars go about each day In gangs of from 20 to 10. A few weeks ago in Lttehenhurg a gang of 00 had been established, and in Ham burg a gang of 100. Berlin, with its astounding number of hurglnrie| a day, does not lead the crime list for German cities. Munich and Dresden are ahead of it. Although Berlin’s force of criminal police lias been greatly increased dur ing the last 20 years from 480 men in 1900 to several thousand today, it is not sufficient, even though working in co-operation wi’h the protective or ganizations of the imperial post and imperial railway board. In closing. Mr. Gollner said that the public showed amazing confidence. In spite of the appalling number of bur glaries that are taking place every day. The crafty methods of the bur glars have baffled even the most ex perienced detectives, and it has been difficult to find effective methods of defense. The electric system had proved to he more successful than any other. He urged that every resident of a large city have some kind of ar rangement in his house to defend him self in some measure against these un pleasant visitors. Girl Hikes 5,000 Miles In Africa.
