YOUTH'S MOST DEADLY FOE "Tuberculosis has been' called the foe of youth," said Doctor Samuel Wolman, president of the Maryland Tuberculosis Association, "but one could go even further and call it the enemy of girls and young women as nearly one and one-half times as ie from the disease as do males in he same age group. "The tuberculosis death rate has een reduced by almost two-thirds ince the organized fight against it vas commenced thirty years ago. Studying figures closely, however, we find that tuberculosis is still the lead- ng cause of death between the ages 16 and 45. "We also discover," Docor Wolman continued, "that one out if every four deaths among young women between the ages of 15 and 30 caused by tuberculosis." The reason for this extremely high leath rate among young women is not known. It is one of the major mysteries of public health.

In an investigation made by the National Tuberculosis Association to iscover the reason for this a careful tudy of the life histories of all girls etween these ages who died of tubcr- ulosis in a single year in Detroit and New York City was made. It was ound that industrialization was not he cause as approximately 35 per ent of them had never been employed outside their homes and 20 per cent tad been employed less than a year. Meting, scanty clothing and educa- ional levels were all discarded in urn. A recent study in New York has shown that young women, with tuberculosis in their homes, were very remiss in getting the proper examina- for themselves. "Every case comes from another case," Doctor Wolman added.

"Every case can be traced back to a parent, grandparent, relative, friend or someone with whom the patient has been contact. The chief concern of everyone should be to teach the parents of daughters the importance of frequent physical examinations. If this is done the disease can be discovered early, and when it is discovered early it is nearly always oured. Young women themselves," Doctor Wolman concluded, "should make an effort to consult a physician frequently, especially if at any time they have been in contact with tuberculosis." Grange that a spelling contest instead of a play would be held at the annual meeting of the State Grange to be held at Westminster the first week in December. This will bo a three-day meeting.

In the cities there has been a noticeable decrease in the number of youth panhandling, and on the down-and-out lists of social service relief organizations.

Reports from the highways show remarkable decreases in the number of hitch-hikers.
