Of this ' number about three-fourths of the cases are young people between the ** ages of SO and 16 years of age. The y' tr gie part of this is that less than 84 200 of these cases are in sanitoria, thus leaving more than 15,800 cases in the homes throughout the state. w v In most of these homes, the people are ipprant of the methods of prevention and cure, and are not only los- b< ing the fight against tuberculosis but a are greatly endangering the lives of P4 those with, whom they come In con. m tact. 9t Many ef tbese eases are of the am- a bulatory type and are to be found on the street*, in moving picture theatres ^ and other ^public.places where, through n< ignomce -and carelessness, they are w jeopardizing the Uvea of those about OI | them.

This same thing can be done in South Carolina. It would mean the th reduction of the annual number of MM from 16,000 to 5300 in eight years, and in a few additional years ? the disease could be wiped out of the 1q al At the present time the South Car- . oUua Tuberculosis Association with a its related local associations, the Rich. * land Anti-Tuberculosis, the Anderson, ^ Charleston, Greenville and Greenwood County Associations, are cooperating with the state and local boards of health in the fight to rid South Car- ' oHna of thje "Great White Plague." ^ These organisations are principally fiqancel by the sale of Christmas in seals.

H Women in London P? Greatly Outnumber Men dv . vc London, Nov. 25.?A record in- ?* crease in the number of females, as n( compared with males, in the city of de London druing the last year is shown in the census figures. In the interval heiweeu the census of 1911 and that q . of 1921 the female excess in London rose from 1,127 to 1,165 as compared with 1,000 males. In actual figures the females excess in London is 841,866; an increase in j" ten years of 72,862. The effect of the ~f . war on the female population is shown 4 ?. "* thy the fact that nearly 26,000 of this b: * increase, or about 86 par cent, is accounted for by widows. While the enumerated population of London fell ei marly one per cent during this period, widows increased in number to 12 per f( cent. j? Although *them was a considerable h' increase in*th* number ef persons between the ages of 95 and 100 in this ** period, the centenarians fall from 20, m fTVi five males and 16 females, to 16, six nodes and ?ea -females. w . m si nam .1 t _ AppiM rroQ toe urcnara ? ?

From January 1 t ;o September 1, 1922, both imported f :hickens and ducks together amount- f *d to only 607 double centners. t Dairy produce also has been hard c lit by the enforced change in appe- r -ites. The first eight months of the ^ rear registered 10,442 double centners j, >f butter coming in, against 660,000 a innually before the war. The former c rearly import of milk was 330,000 t louble centners and of cream 444,000. t In the eight months ending Septem- ( >er 1, imported milk has amounted to e >2,189, and the inflow of cream c reached the ridiculously low figure of 122 double centners.

Mr. Rice is engineering representative in the American section of the Inter-American High Commission and, it the instance of Secretary Hoover, 'hairman of the American section, he a consulting with the chairmen of other sections of the commission and vith engineering societies in the vari>us countries. As a representative of American engineering societies at the recent International Engineering Conference in Brasil, he urged standardisation there, with the result that resolutions were adopted in support of ;he movement. He then proceeded to Jruguay, where he spoke before the engineers of that country, thence he ame to Argentina where he likewise ias urged upon the local engineers he advantages of standardization. He IVAV V IB I WO VIU1V* "Mr. Hoover's idea is to do away hroughout the countries of the PanImerican Union, just as he is seeking n the United States, with the many ypes of the same manufactured arti>e that are put on the market," said flr. Rice to The Associated Press corespondent, "as well as with the diferent names and measures that are ised for the same product. I have bund during my visit that these diferences exist even in the same counry, as in Brazil for instance, in the ase of coffee, where in Rio de Jaleiro and Santos different units of luantity for quoting the commodity re used. The economic saving of tandardization i? obvious, but the luestion is to obtain its adoption, and his Mr. Hoover hopes can be done hrough the Inter-American High Commission and by interesting the 'ngineering profession in the various ountries in the subject." Canary Business Lucrative in Japan , Tokio, Nov. 25.?Japanese exportrs ajjfs trying to induce breeders of anary birds to go into the business >n a commercial basis instead of as l hobby, as it now.

This 'ear, the value of the birds exported r- almost double that of last year, eith many orders unfilled. Buyers rom Tokio and Yokohama are scourng the nefcrby provinces, principally he prefecture of NMgata for birds, vhich are bought for from one yen to M) sen for the ordinary mixed-breed anary, while the same birds bring irom five yen to six yen in the city.
