The steamer Is in charge ot physicians and others select ed by a number of prominent Wash- ingtonians who are backing the pro ject ana it carries as passengers a number of tuberculosis patients. The plan Is to visit certain sterile and dustless areas which lie under perpetual summer sunshine within the Arctic circle, for the cure of early cases of the disease.
