Tuberculosis Death Rate Reduced . I Forty-one less persons died ot tub erculosis In North Carolina In 1923 than In the preceding year. In 1922 ;<! ' * 2,586 persons In the. State died of tu " berlosls. In 1923 2, 646 persons died ot the disease. . Although there are two and a half \ times as many white people as there are negroes In the State, there were only 27 more victims of this disease among the white population than among the colored. The death rate for the whites per 100,000 was 66.3 and ?that for the colored 156.5. t'K;" With 302 white and 68 colored deaths Buncombe County has the lar , ' gest number of deaths from tuberculo sis of any county in the State. This Is explained by the fact that Ashevllle and vicinity is a great resort for the tuberculosis people of the whole coun try. Next to Buncomb Forsyth County leads In both white and colored, with' 107 deaths, 32 white and 75 colored. In each of the counties of Anson, Clay, Currituck, Gates, Graham, Jones, Rowan, and Wake only one white per son died ot tuberculosis. Haywood, Caldwell, Chereokee, and Watauga had only one colored death each. No white people died in Alleghany. Pamlico, and Tyrrell ot the disease In 1923. Alleghany. Ashe, Avery, Carteret, v i Clay, Cleveland, Dare. Graham, Madi son, Orangey Rockingham, Rowan, and Rutherford counties had no colored to die ot tuberculosis last yenr, which Is ik'"-'' Accounted for by the fact that there are very few negroes In these counties. Alleghany County reported no death ?*_; from tuberculosis. Clay. Graham, and Is Rowan had only one death each; these were white .Two Indians died In each ? of the following counties: Wilson, On slow, and Hoke.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Allies and Germans Getting. Together to Put Dawes Plan Into Operation. By EDWARD W. PICKARD CHANCELLOR MARX and his Ger man colleagues, called to London to confer with the allien on measures for putting the Dawes plan Into op eration, showed so sincere a desire to reach an agreement taat hopes for the restoration of Europe were high. After being given a friendly reception by Prime Minister -MacDonald. Pre mier Herrlot and the other allied rep resentatives, the Germans were hand ed the documents comprising the plans adopted before their arrival and were requested to examine them sp?edlly and make reply. This they did, and their "observations" regard ing the work of the conference, 60, 000 words in length,* were submitted the nert day. In general, and so far as the Dawes plan Is concerned, these appeared . quite satisfactory ' for a starter and It was believed the com mittees of experts to which the Ger man documents were handed for care ful examination would be able to re vise and alter them so that they would accord with the British and FrenA proposals. The Germans re served the right to supplement their first statement after more detailed consideration of the allied proposi tion* Accompanying the German docu ments was a covering letter saying that there were certain questions out side the scope of the Dawes plan and the, conference which must be settled. Chief of these were the matter of the military evacuation of the Ruhr and the personnel of the Germkn railways in the occupied territory. Dispatches from London said that the French already had begun negotiating with the Germans concerning the evacua tion of the Ruhr, offering to carry this out If the Germans would agree to the continuance of German armaments by the military control mission. Marx also demanded that persons expelled from the Ruhr be permitted to return, and the French were willing to con cede this if the Berlin government would agree not to persecute those Germans In the occupied region who had co-operated with the forces of oc cupation. David Lloyd George and other po litical opponents of Prime Minister MacDonald have been attacking his policy In the conference, but he has held his own In the debates. He In formed the house of commons that If the conference were finally successful, these three agreements were to be ex pected : 1. An agreement between the Ger man government and the reparations commission regarding matters within I the competence of the reparations commissions. 2. An agreement between the al lied governments and the German gov ernment regarding matters requiring to be settled by direct agreement. 8. An agreement between the allied governments themselves regulating ! matters of interallied concern. In the main Premier Herrlot's course was approved In France, es pecially his refusal to permit any dis cussion of war guilt In the conference. QU I TK unexpectedly, the Anglo- , Russian conference, which ' has been going on In London Intermit- j tently for months, has resulted In a measure of success. Early last week the British foreign office announced the parley had failed and was broken off, but MacDonald at once got Into I action, Invited the Russians to re sume the conference, and brought about an agreement for the signing of two treaties, one of commerce and one general. Rough drafts of these pacts were drawn up and Initialed. | and the prime minister Insisted on j signing them without waiting for the ! approval of parliament. The treaties were bitterly attacked by the opposl- I tlon. David Lloyd Oeorge denounced te as "fakes." It Is understood, at this writing that the treaty of commerce gives British goods most favored nation treatment In Russia and that Great Britain recognizes the soviet trade monopoly- and agrees to give diplo matic lmipunlty to a certain number of Russian trade representatives. De tails of the general treaty are not knowti, but It Is believed It provides for British guarantee of a loan to Russia of between ?30,000,000 and ?40,000,000. Undersecretary Ponscnby told the house that, regarding the claims of British bondholders, the soviet government had given an ex pression of liability and an assurance that the Russians would negotlute with the bondholders. Prime Minister Macl5onald 1b ex ceedingly anxious for consummation of these treaties with Russia, for the trade unions believe that they will mean more work and greater prosper ity for the British worklngman. They constitute an Important part of the labor government's foreign pol icy, which Is being vigorously at tacked by the opposition. Re-estubllshuent of relations with Russia Is a very live question In France. It Is favored by certain financial Interests which seek control of the Chinese Eastern railway, and of course by the Communists. But the Socialists of France are against It and Premier Herrlot has become lukewarm toward Russian negotia tions, presumably to obtain and keep Socialist votes. The' Communist press blames Secretary of State Hughes, repeating the denied story that he told the premiers In London that so long as Europe countenanced boluhev ilsm, America could not help It. r> ULGARIA on one side $nd Yugo " Slavla and Greece on the other r are still sniping at each other across the borders, and the danger of an out break of war has not been removed. Last week Bulgaria called 8,000 re servists to the colors and Serbia put up a loud wall. . The French and British governments are doing their best to prevent actual hostilities. AMERICA'S globe-c 1 r c 1 1 n g air squadron had both good and bad luck last week. First, Lieut.- Erik Nelson successfully flew from the Orkneys to Hoefn. Hornafjord, Ice land, but Lleuts. Lowell Smith and Leigh Wade were forced by dense fogs to turn back. Next day Lieu tentant Smith made the flight all right, but Wade's machine was forced down by engine trouble when about hnlf tlu distance lir.ci been traveled, and then was hopelessly wrecked during attempts to salvage It. Wade and his mechanic were taken aboard the cruiser Richmond, and It has been decided In Washington to send another plane to Tictou Harbor, Nova Scotia, so that they may continue the flight from there with the squadron. From Hornafjord the two planes still In commission flew to Reykjavik, capital of Iceland, 310 miles. In the face of a 50-mlle wind and over land and water where a forced landing would have meant disaster and death. Their course from there takes them to Angmagsallk, Greenland, but Ice conditions along the const of Green- ; j land are ?nch that It was announced j [ that the aviators might be 'compelled [ to wait In Reykjavik for a week. j THERE are Indications that the I-a- I Follette- Wheeler ticket will not I get the unanimous support of organ- | lzed labor by a long ways, hut it Is considered formidable enough to oc- j cup.v a major place in the strategy j i of both the Republicans and the Democrats. The former have adopt- : ed a policy of conceding nothing to i LaFollette even In the several states > of the middle Northwest which many i [ have conceded to him. In these states the Coolidge leaders will make I perhaps their hardest flghL Samuel Gompers, president of the I American Federation of Labor, added 1 to bis indorsement of the I.aFollette- i Wheeler ticket last week by further praise of the Wisconsin senator as the , friend of organized labor, and made j a lively attack on John W. Peris. Pem- ' ocrstlc Presidential candidate. He denied that any acts of Mr. Davis have shown him as friendly to the wage earner, and told how Mr Davis last month sought secret Interviews with lilm and asked him to file with Gompers a "statement of questions In which labor U chiefly Interested at this moment." All this, and more, was In a reply from Gompers to Wll lam B, Wilson, former secretary of labor, who had asked that the fed eration's executive council defer ac tion on the proposed Indorsement of LaFollete. Matthew Woll, spokesman for Gom pers, followed up this with a broad side directed at Charles G, Dawes, Republican vice presidential candi date, whom he denounced for alleged anti-union activity and especially for bis organization of the Minute Men of the Constitution. "This organiza tion," said Woll, "lias concerned itself chiefly fighting the organizations of labor and in upholding the right of Judges to Issue injunctions which have no warrant In law or In the Con stitution, and which, as used In In dustrial disputes, order workers to do what they have a lawful right to re frain from doing, and order them not to do things which they have a lawful right ;to do." Returns from the Oklahoma pri maries at this time Indicate that for mer Gov. J. C. Walton has won the Democratic nomination for senator over Congressman E. B. Hownrd. The latter was supported by the Ku Klux Khin and Walton says he will demand an investigation of alleged corruption by the Kian. W. B. Pine was nom inated for senator by the Republicans. ^^fR8.

The British government, through the American State depart ment, made upon the Mexican gov ernment the demands usual in such cases, and President Obregon ordered that the assassins be apprehended. It Is now announced that the murderers, 17 In number, have been captured and' Jailed in Puebla. The incident, how ever, Is not yet closed. Mrs. Evans' sister, wife of an American marine officer, has gone to Mexico to carry oh the fight for retention of the es tate. Charles B. Warren hag resigned as American ambassador to Mexico, and his successor will soon be appointed. Mr. Warren in his letter of resigna tion blamed the Wilson administration for much of our recent troubles with Mexico, and added that relations be tween the two countries have now been "readjusted to the satisfaction of both governments, and I feel that means have been found to protect American property and rights In Mex ico, without offending the Mexican people or Interfering In any way In her domestic policies and affairs."

BETTER HEALTH C* VEItYONIS admits the value o 1 good ruuUs, liut what possible con nection In there between good rouds aud hen|th V Uood rouds have always been re guided as one of the neceKSl Leu o< a civilized mute. The old Romans were famous roud builders nr.- J some of their highwuys are still exist ence. Mucnulay, in his "History of Eng laud," says: "Of all Inventions of the human mind, the alphabet und the printing press alone excepted, those inventions which have bridged dis tance huve done most for the civiliza tion of man." Steamboats and rail roads made possible the exploration of the civilized world In the Nineteenth century. The automobile, airplane, and the radio are going to complete Its clvlllzutlon by bringing all nations and races together. But whut. have good roads to do with health? The state board of health of Kan sas says that good roads prevent disease. HowT In many ways. The removal of weeds and trash and the drainage which follows road building -destroy breeding places for mosquitoes', flies and other Insects which are known as d/sease carriers, not to mention chlnchbugs, grasshop pers, and other pests which hurt the cropg. Hard roads and oiled roads also promote drainage and prevent Insect breeding. Dry roads offer pedestrians and especially children who are com pelled Jo walk to and from school, a dry path. Good roads promote travel and make It easier for the farmer to move his produce, to' get his supplies and to take ( his family to town. Goo4 roads and automobiles have Improved health by making It possible for the doctor to see more patients and to see them more promptly, to send his patients, when necessary, to a hos pital and to give-.them better care. Good roads have made It possible for townships to unite In building cen tral high schools and so provide as good education for 'country children as for city children. Good roads have done away with the Isolation of the farmer and his family. Anything which contributes to the physical or mental wellbetng of the Individual helps prevent disease and prolongs life. Good roads have reduced the amount of dust and so have decreased the irritation to the nose, the throat, the eyes, and ttie ears. Dust catches disease germs and the less dust we Inhale, the better off we are. Good roads, either In the city or In the country, mean healthier, happier, and longer lives for- all of us. ' OPENING DEAF EARS THE radio Is the wonder of the present. It has practically annihi lated space. It has Increused a speak er's audience for beyond the capacity of any building on earth. It Is esti mated that over a million American citizens heard President Coolldge In his address befoi* congress last De cember. This was probably the largest audience which has ever listened to one man. Yet It is small compared to what the audiences of the future may be. In a few years radios will be as common as telephones. ? But the radio has done something else thnt Is greuter than annihilating distance or making all of our citizens one vast audience. It has opened the ears of the deaf. Not all deaf persons can hear the ra dio. but some so deaf that they have not heard the human voice for years are able to hear over the radio with perfect ease. The New York League for the Hard of Hearing is so enthu siastic over the radio that It has equipped Its clubrooms with radio ap paratus carrying 24 head sets. War ren Pond, the president of the New York league, writing In the Volta Re view. a" magazine for the deaf, says. "When my radio was Installed and. sitting In my home, 1 heard clearly the notes of a song, the tears came to my eyes. After living In silent land for 45 years, the spell was broken and 1 found a new heaven and a new earth." Think what this means to the man or woman whose ability to hear has practically disappeared, to whom not only the human voice but all forms of music are forever silent. What Is It that makes It possible for the ear. deaf to ordinary sounds, to respond to radio waves? Is there something about the radio wave that Is different from the ordinary sound wave and that pro duces a vibration In the ear that Is dead to ordinary sounds? We do not know, hut we do know that the devel opment of the radio jind Its wide spread use hat brought happiness to thousands of men and women who have been cut off from the world of ?ounrt for rears No one could antici pate that such a miracle would lake rare The unexpected results of <cieare are sometimes the most mar t elous Say Bayer Aspirin" INSISTl Unless you see tHfc "Bayer Cross" on tablets you are not getting the genuine 4 Bayer Aspirin proved safe by millions and prescribed by phy sicians for 24 years.
