Although the double red cross has been used in America for more than Xour years as the International em blem of the crusade against tubercu loslfl, few people have known how it originated until announcement of the history of the symbol was made pub lic today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu berculosis. It has been ascertained that the double red cross was first suggested as the symbol of the International Anti-Tuberculosis Association in Ber lin In October, 1902. The proposer of the symbol was Dr. G. Sersiron of aris who 4s now Associate Secre tary of L 'Association Centrale Fran chise Contre la Tuberculose. Dr. Sersiron's proposal was adopted at the Berlin meeting and a movement was at once started to secure official recognition and protection for the double cross from European govern ments. The double red cross is similar in shape to a cross used frequently in the Greek Catholic Churches, and al so to the Lorraine Cross of France. The National Association for the Study and prevention of Tuberculo sis in the United States has adopted the proportions of nine for the lengtn or the cross to five. for the width of the arms, with a space one nintn or the length between the arms. in 1902, when the double red cross was adopted, there were not more than a half-dozen associations for the prevention of tuberculosis organized on a wide basis. Today vnder the banner of the anti-tuber- culosls crusade, associations have been formed in almost every civilii ea country in the world. Even Chi na is beginning to take action along this line, while in Turkey, India, Ja pan, the Philippines, South Africa, Australia, Iceland, and aP of the Eu ropean' countries active societies are at work. In the United States, from four independent assnrfntinna in, 1 QflO ,k. 1.1, i uuuuib rea cross now en lists a carefully organized national movement tinder which are affiliated morethan thirty state bodies and 420 local societies. If to these agen cies are added the local. State, and national governments enrolled In anti-tuberculosis work, the double red cross becomes the symbol of the greatest organized campaign for the prevention of disease that the world has ever known. Misses Mattle Caldwell, of Clo ver, and Rose Lindsay, of Yorkvllle, are the guests this week of Mrs. J.
