GROUP ENDS DRIVE
GN TUBERCULOSIS
Second Annual Campaign Is
Closed. With Results
Cited in Letter.
. The second annual campaign of (he
Washington Tuberculosis Association to
show the life-saving value of early dis
covery in the fight against tuberculosis
closed officially yesterday when letters
of thanks and a report of the campaign
were sent to all members of the com
mittee in charge by Dr. George M.
Kober. president of the association, and
Dr. J. W. Peabody, chairman of the
OcroT.c.Htee
The letter calls attention to one of
the immediate results of the campaign,
namely, the increase in the number of
persons going to the Health Depart
ment tuberculosis clinic at 512 I street
He examination or advice during the
month of April, r.s compared with pre
tlcris periods. The official figures in
clude the work of both the adult and
the children's clinics, the latter hav
ing been organized and financed by the
Tuberculosis Association from Christ
mas Seal funds and conducted under
the supervision of the Health Depart
ment.
More than 600 posters carrying the
campaign slogan, ‘'Tuberculosis Can Be
Cured." - "Early Discovery—Early Re j
covery,’* were displayed during the j
month and several thousand pieces of
educational literature distributed.
Reports show that 901 examinations
of old and new patients were made at
these clinics during April, an increase !
of 160 over the number made in March, j
and 420 more than during April. 1929.
While it. is too soon to estimate the
additional examinations which have
been given by private physicians during
the campaign, it is known that a large
number have given their hearty co
operation.
The Children's Tuberculosis Clinic, j
the storting of which coincided with the
opening of the early diagnosis cam
paign. is to be continued indefinitely at j
the Health Department clinic, with re
ception hours from 9 to 11 on Mondays
and Fridays.
SUBSIST ON DOLES.
Educated Germans Are Dependent
on Government.
tellectuals” are dependent upon public
unemployment doles for their subsist
ence, according to the department of
intellectual workers of the government
labor office.
Among these poverty-stricken, edu
cated men and women are many doctors |
of medicine. Teachers, too, form a large j
part of the group and artists and .
draughtsmen are numerous. That the !
journalistic profession is overcrowded
would appear from the increasing num- i
ber of newspaper men who must accept
doles.
The labor office also runs an employ- :
ment bureau and from time to time sue- .
ceeds In finding a job for an Intel- I
lectual. It Is not an easy process, how- |
ever.

SILHOUETTE ARTIST MAKING
PROFILES OF CAPITAL PEOPLE
‘ !
Only Cutter Recognized by
the Society of Arts
and Crafts.
Outstanding Work That of
Vice President Curtis,
Senators and Others.
Charles E. White, jr„ silhouette cutter ;
of Brookline, Mass., and a member of i
the Society of Arts and Crafts of Bos
ton. has arrived in Washington, where
he is engaged in cutting the silhouettes
of many prominent residents of the
Capital. He is the oniy silhouette cut
ter recognized as such by the Society
of Arts and Crafts.
The more outstanding of his silhouettes
done In Washington are those of Vice
President Curtis, Senator Watson of
Indiana. Senator Walsh of Montana,
JgiMgSSHHL
VICE CURTIS.
Dr. George P. Merrill of the Smithsonian
Institution, and that of John Dewey,
done for Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. Mr.
White’s work is performed entirely by
cutting with a delicate pair of scissors,
which enables him to bring the profile
of his subjects Into relief against a
white background.
Origin Ancient Egypt.
The art of silhouettes found Its origin
in the days of ancient Egypt, when all
portraits were done in silhouettes. In
the time of the Romans candlelight
pictures were drawn from the reflection
of profiles outlined against a wall, and
this art is believed to have come from
the early Etruscans. The interest in
stlhouettes declined to some extent dur- i
ing the Middle Ages, but was revived
at the time of the French revolution,
by a Gen. Silhouette, from whom the
art derives its name.
There was a steady growth of
popularity for silhouettes which eul- .
minated in the first exhibition of the
subject in Paris in 1825. Many of thp i
early pieces of work In the nineteenth
century were done on china or glass.
