SHADOWS TELL THE STORY
By J. Arthur Myers, M. D. Profes
sor, Preventive Medicine U.
of Minnesota
Persons who have tuberculosis
in the contagious form do not
necessarily appear ill. That is, they
may be in excellent general health
and have good working capacities.
Many a boy or girl has gone away
from home to attend college and
has either been assigned to, or
has innocently selected, a room
mate with tuberculosis in the con
tagious stage.
This is not occurring as frequent
ly as it did a few years ago be
cause many of the colleges and

universities are requiring adequate
examinations for tuberculosis of
all their entering students, and
anyone who is found to have the
disease in the contagious stage is
treated immediately or not permit*
ted to register. There are still
schools, however, that have not
provided such facilities and others
that do not have their examina
tions made promptly at the begin
ning of the school year.
In such institutions the indivi
dual must guard his own health. It
is entirely reasonable that he
should require that his room-mate
be adequately examined for tuber
culosis. This should extend much
further. In fact, it should include
one’s entire environment. In one
rather extensive study of tubereu
loiss in a county in this country
it was found that 65 per cent of
the young adults who contracted
tuberculosis did so through con
tact with associates outside their
homes.
Inasmuch as there is the possi
bility of the development of tuber
culosis in a destructive form during
adult life in those who have been
infected with tuberculosis germs,
it behooves us to determine just
who among the young adults in
our schools, industries, and other

groups have been infected with
tubercle bacilli. This is easily ac
complished through the adminis
tration of the tuberculin test and
the chest X-ray.
If the individual reacts positive
ly to the tuberculin test, it does
not necessarily mean that he is ill
at the moment or will ever become
ill from active tuberculosis. How
ever, with the test indicating the
presence of germs of tuberculosis
in the body, the individual should
have a desire to determine, in so
far as possible, whether areas of
disease are developing or have de
veloped which will cause illness
and which, if untreated, will be
come contagious to others.
The X-ray examination of the
chest serves as a second and most
important screen. That is, the tu
berculin test has screened out all
potential cases of destructive
forms of tuberculosis. The X-ray
screens out those who have areas
of disease in the lungs that are
so located or have sufficient size
to cast a shadow that can be seen
with the naked eye. Not all sha
dows so cast on the X-ray film are
due to tuberculosis of the lungs.
Therefore, the X-ray examination
is not the final step in determin
ing whether destructive forms of
tuberculosis are present.
All persons who do have sha
dows on the film should immediate
ly place themselves under the care
of competent physicians who are
trained to complete the examina
tion and determine whether tuber
culosis actually exists and, if so,
whether it is in a progressive stage
that requires treatment.
1 he young adult need no longer
fear having chronic tuberculosis
of the lungs detected, provided it
is found in an early stage and be
fore much destruction has occur
red. Methods of treatment of the
disease have advanced as rapidly
as can usually be brought under
control with very little inconven
ience to the individual.
When it is controlled in this
manner, it is prevented from caus
ing significant illness and from
becoming contagious. The truth is
that we know enough to eradicate
it completely from any community
o' any nation. The methods of de
tection, treatment and prevention
are simple. They can be carried
out in any community.
If the young adults of America
would take advantage of the num
erous opportunities offered them
by local tuberculosis associations—
especially during the nationwide
Early Diagnosis Campaign con
ducted every Spring by these as
sociations— to become informed
about tuberculosis and wolud de
mand that the places where they
live and work be rendered free
from tuberculosis in the contagious
stage, the disease would be almost
completely controlled within their
generation.

A city of a quarter of a million

visitors from all over the nation.
The visitors themselves will

showmanship—and the midwest
will get another boost during
Golden Spike Days of 1940!

RECORDER OF DEEDS, WASH
INGTON, I). C„ GIVES INTER
VIEW ON THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE BOOKER T. WASHING
TON STAMP TO THE
AMERICAN NEGRO
By Frederick S. Weaver
Dr. William J. Thompkins had
this to say: “In seventy-five years
of freedom no honor as significant
as the issue of the Booker T. Wash
ington Stamp by Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley has been re
ceived by the Negro race. In form
er administrations it was a cus
tom of that party in power to
honor a Negro as Registrar of the
Treasury of the United States. In
this capacity, a Negro’s name was
inscribed on all United States pa
per money. In a previous adminis
tration, the American Negro lost
this key position of national dis
tinction.”
The Race Was Depressed
“The race as a whole regarded
it as a great loss which was fol
lowed by wide-spread apprehen
sion, lamentation and depression.
Well did they realize the national
significance of a Negro’s signature
inscribed on this important nation
al document—the medium of ex
change. Every Negro bowed his
head despondently when mention
was made of this serious set-back
in their forward, but peaceful
march toward higher cultural,
economic and political levels. No
wonder that this week, Negro
America swells with pride as hun
dreds of thousands of mail car
riers deliver envelopes, packages,
etc., bearing the Booker T. Wash
ington Stamp in every town, city
and hamlet in the United States.
Moreover, they realize that this
historical stamp is being carried
today by train, steamship, and
airplane to the four corners of
the earth.”
The Race Feels Intolerance
“No one knows better than the
American Negro that intolerance
towards minority groups is ram
pant throughout the world—parti
cularly in Nazi Germany. With the
face of Booker T. Washington dis
played on the United States pos
tage stamp, much of the propagan
da of Facism concerning the servi
tude of the Negroes of America
will disappear. The world will
know that an American Negro has
been recognized and placed on the
honor roll among the patriots,
presidents, statesmen, educators,
and other great Americans in the
“Hall of Fame.”
Postmaster General Farley
Pays Tribute
“Postmaster General Farley’s
personal visit to the Institution
was met with a multitude of citi
zens of every section of the United
States and his portrayal of the
life of Booker T. Washington will
become an American classic.
Happy was the thought when he
gave the first sheet of stamps
to the members of Booker Wash
ington’s family. This honor gives
evidence to the world that Ameri
can Democracy is marching up
ward, today as always, and con
tinues its momentum to a dynamic
living force in letter as well as in
the spirit of America.”
Dr. Thompkins concluded by
saying: “General James A. Far
ley deserves every consideration
and I am convinced that he will
receive the applause not only of
every Negro, but of the millions
of White Americans who believe
in efficiency and give credit to
merit of all people.”

Woman Praises Mme.C.J.
Walker’s Preparations
i
* "I use Mme. C. J. Walker's
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation,” stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where. .
* Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
