ARMGUR TECH EEWS To Wipe Glut Dreaded flieeaoe Every year millions of Christmas seals are sold in this countryvto con— trol and prevent tuberculosis. They have become a sym- !. bol oi :the great-woe that is being waged u. disease. But in 1904 the Christmas seal {012 ,iginat’ed in a small way to give a . chance «for health "‘ to a group of tuber- culous children in a In that year a foreign country. children’s hospital was needed in Com penhagen, Denmark. A postal clerk in that city named Einar Holboell heard of this and conceived the idea that stamps, especially designed to decorate Christmas letters and pack- ages, could be'made to «finance the cost of the building. His enthusiasm won for him'the endorsement of the Danish royal family, and the first Christmas seal was designed and placed on sale in the post offices. The good citizens of Denmark purchased enough of them to insure for the sick children the best medical and nursing; care available. A pioneer in the field of social service in America received a letter from his mother country bearing one of, the bright~coloréd little stamps. His name was Jacob Riis, and, his curiosity aroused by this new decora— tion, he inquired about its purpose. The possibilities of its use in the United States impressed him. He wrote an article that was published in the ”Outlook” in which be de- scribed what the stamp had achieved in Denmark. In that article, Miss Emily P. Bis- sell of Wilmington, Delaware, found the solution of her own problem; namely, how to raise $3,000 for a raise $3,000 for a tuberculosis pavil- ion in her state. organized the sale of seals in the States and as a salt the was built. In Miss Bissell able to induce authorities of the American Red Cross to undertake a nation-wide sale of tuberculosis Christmas stamps. Wo- ' men’s clubs, religious bodies and lo— cal Red Cross chapters assisted in the campaign. From then on until 1920 the Red Cross conducted the sale of the seals. From 1907 to 1910 the National Tuberculosis (Association had been organizing its warfare against the disease with the support of foremost scientists, but with little funds. To strengthen the organization’s work, the American Red Cross joined with it in the Christmas seal sale. The partnership between these two great welfare bodies lasted for ten years. Then, in 1920, it was dissolved be-_ ,cause the American Red Cross de- sired to continue its annual Roll Call, begun in the years of the Great War, and it did not wish to appeal to the public for funds twice a year. Since that time only the double—barred cross, emblem of the tube1culosis movement, has appeared on Christ— mns seals. , T been in linusual Way New Millions $0M Yearly 1gainst an ancient, - - I Wallis At Assembly ROBER_T H TAIT__— MOVIES ARE M} BE FEATURE 0F ASSEMBLY TALK The annual assembly sponsored by the Bureau of Commercial Economics will be held tomorrow at 10:30 in the Assembly Hall, The lecture, to be given by Robert H.
