WAR OK TUBERCCLOSTS. COMMITTEE FOR IT? PREVENTION" BEgins INTERVIEW WITH MISS WALD. A definite plan of operation was outlined at the first meeting of the executive branch of the Charity Organization Committee tor the Prevention of Tuberculosis, which was held thir week. An important event of the meeting was a discussion of the feasibility of providing a separate class In the treatment of consumptives, and arrangements were made for interviews With the officer? sf such Institutions. are already such divisions is "eye car." "heart and lungs." etc.

Py a clarification of "throat and lungs" It thought that people who have "hard colds." as ronsumpthes ofter designate their disease, will avail themselves more readily of the privileges rffered them in the hub Ira It would also prevent infection among the patients waiting together in tte subject of sputum ntpe flasks and papers received a large of attention, and people with coughs will be asked to carry them In their pockets and refrain from spitting elsewhere. Japanese paper la small squares, which are incon- Fpicuous and which can be carried In a paper bag tn the pocket, is. it thought, the most practical. a resolution was passed favoring the erection UOder the direction of the Board of Health of a sanatorium for incipient cases of tuberculosis out- Fide the city liiuits. This could be done under the a law passed by the legislature two years ago.

It is expected that the Board of Health will Include in its next estimate the money for tyoh a building. I there are hospital for one thousand tuberculosis patients in this city, there is no provision whatever for people la the early stages of the disease. The committee also arranged for the publication snd general circulation of leaflets giving advice as to the care and treatment of consumptive people those living with them. Edward T. Device, general secretary of the Charity Organization, was authorized to employ four assistants, among 1 them an expert statistician, a trained nurse and a visitor.

About $1,000 for the work has already been raised. Of that sum £59 was given with the provision that be obtained. Miss Lilian Wald, who is a member of th- comxittee at head worker at Nurses' Alumna; settlement, in believes: that the question of tuberculosis Is a very pressing one in the of this hi? city. "No one can work among without, feeling the awfulseas of this rurse." she. said to a Tribune reporter.

"Our aurses have confronted by so much of it that long afo christened the 'tailor's disease. 1 A jiU would come in. a nurse would go to Investitate. and upon her return would say simply. 'Oh, mother case of tailors A us are families that have been is unscathed.

The pad story of tuberculosis in the Ghetto is set thick with splendid, pathetic acts of unselfishness and loving kindness like that. "When the committee begins practical work, shall do what we can through personal precept and example, and perhaps the distribution of printed directions and of sputum cups. We have to look out for the health of the community as well as for the recovery of the patient.

At present the public carelessness is such that the sisters who tend the sick at Si Joseph's Hospital for Consumptives are I have heard It stated, less liable to contract the disease than the average person in the street ar.d streetcar.

Mr Glendower of Boston, made the chief address yesterday morning at the summer school of philanthropy. The subject was "Children's Courts and Probation Schools." and the phase of It which occupied Mrs. Evans's attention was that period of the boy's life after he left reform institutions.

She is connected with the Lyman School for Boys, and in the course of her remarks said-.

Those figures made a revolution In methods of the Lyman School. They should strike home to institutions which retain no supervision whatever ever the children which they have placed out.

We were a reformatory institution and we asked ourselves what we had accomplished. To-day the responsibility of our trustees covers the minority of boys committed to our charge.

GARDEX VARIETY OF HATS. SUGGESTIONS FOR MIDSUMMER MILLINERT MA NT SMART EFFECTS. Fashionable milliners at this- time of the year devote their energies chiefly to the confection of the picturesque garden and piazza hat. to be worn at summer cottages 01 on the verandas of summer hotels. A piazza hit seat) recently was a Leghorn braid with medium low square crown, and brim unfaced.

It was riDped acrosr at the back about two inches below the junction of the brim with the crown, and this portion was and fastened up against the crown with a big of mock turquoise surroundeJ by pearls. At each side of the volute thus formed under the brim was fixed I tuft of wild poppies in several shades of green. An ostrich plume in parrot green swept round the brim from to right, the end restirp upon a pair of green parrot's wings laid flat and pointing back. Another Leghorn hat had a wide and very low crown, rolled inward an around and bent down at the back. It had an Inch wide binding of bias black velvet, and was faced with a velt of Falling over tho edge of the brim was a flounce of novelty lace of an ecru shade, while another flomce, falling from the crown, was held by a garland of shed tea ropes.

A garland of tea roses ran the i' 'm, also, and a large roseti of white satin ribbon under brim at back completed the ornamentation. A quaint shade hat was of km! fibre braid, In lettuce grcn silver tint It had a low. square crown, and the brim, depressed at back, had the inner half of width formed of gnthTfd. open dotted net emerald green. Bands of atii were laid smoothly around both brim a-d crown, md two poppies, one In shaded preen and one in pa!" 1 mauve, were placid at front of the crown, and balanced at either side by sprays of leaves and beads of mignonette.

At the back was a large bow of green net with drooping loops km ends. chic Mack hat was a large shape, in Milan braid, with wide. crown and drooping brim. the crown was a band of hlaek velvet rihbnn lined with white satin, which It turned outward. A made black Amazon ostrich plume covered the brim A knot the black and white ribbon was set under be brim on the left side.

Another big shade h.iT was of white cocoa braid. loosely woven. It hud a wide, low crown ar.d brim depressed the back. Black velvet ribbon passed loosely around tin crDwn and knotted at the back In a triple butterfly how. A heavy wreath of white mountain daisies lay about the brim, and under the latter, on the left was a wide how of the velvet rihbon.

Dainty midsummer models have come out in pure white as they did a year aeo. Black hats are 1n Irish crochet and cut point laces, the trimming being usually lame white ostrich plume, sweeping around the brim anil curling under on the side, where it shadows some dainty of garniture a bow of black velvet ribbon- or tuft of roses, perhaps. A striking hat of this variety was of braid, the crown oval and medium -aide, and the lirirr faced with folds and with whit- chiffon. ctvlnK ii a soft, heavy wreath of whit" chrysanthemums and leaves garlanded rr.mn. and a wide, bow of black velvet ribbon was tucked under the brim th' left side.

A white ric braid had th" brim hem down at hack, ar.d a wide, low crown of white chiffon, covered with rut embroidery. a ruffle of f-m-broldered chiffon overlay the and here was a greur how of the at the hack. The ends were finished with embroidered various fruit trimmings, rather tentatively advanced enrly In the season, have developed surprisingly. The summer hat fruits, grapes, cherries, currants, strawberries, hlackherries and raisins being employed, all closely simulating Lady apples and plums have also been used, and upon a few models lemons have even been seen. iti.l tTTiltp.

Commissioner of Street Cleaning, is experimenting on a process for detecting bacteria in the atmosphere, which is rather loosely described as "air photography." The bacteria which are known to adhere to the countless dust particles floating in the air are gathered on a gelatin plate and allowed to matore. they reach the spore stage and become recognizable they are magnified from 3.000 to 7.000 diameters and photographed.

By this means the department will be able to learn what may be the condition of the air In the streets at any given time, and by continuous observation can keep forewarned of dangers to the publir health. The enterprise concerns the Street Cleaning Department because air bacteria are practically dependent on floating matters In the air for their chances in early life.
