Since the finding of the body of Billy
Dansey last week, several new the
ories have sprung up. One is that
the boy was not murdered, that he
wandered away and in delirium, tore
off his clothes and died alone. An
other is that the body is not that of
Billy, and that the boy is still alive.
The funeral had been set for this
morning. Immediately alter the
services the remains were to have
been placed aboard an express train
for shipment to Pittsburgh for
burial. Bate yesterday afternoon,
after a personal survey of the
ground and a conference with the

VARNISH TREE OF CHINA
Varnish is produced in China Horn
a tree commonly spoken of as the
varnish tree, but known botanicully
as rhus verniciferu, which is found
in abundance in the mountains of
Hupeh, Kwe'.chew and Szei hwiin.
The varnish is taken from the tree
after it is about six inches in di
ameter by tapping at intervals of
from five to seven years, until the
tree is fifty or- sixty years old. A
erood-sized tree will yield from five
to seven potinds of varnish.
The natural color of the crude
varnish im applied is black. It i
considered the most Indestructible
varnish known. n ne peculiarity is
that it hardens only in a moist at
mosphere.
In China It is erroneously known
amonft the foreign communities as
"Ninsrpo varnish." probably because
it first came Into contact with for
eign trade there.
Many persons are poisoned when

contact with this varnish, which fact,
unfortunately, reduces its trade pos
silvlltles enormously. As yet no
method has been discovered whereby

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
URGES SUPPORT
OF SEAL SALES
State Health Commissioner
Calls For Aid in Tuber
culosis Fight
County health councils, dispen
sary physicians, school medical in
spectors, county medical directors
and all other agencies coming under
the State Department of Health to
day were called upon by Dr. Ed
ward Martin, State Commissioner of
Health, to aid in the Christmas Seal
Campaign. Colonel Martin declares
a successful fight on the white
plague is dependent upon "com
plete, cordial and intelligent co-ordi
nation" of State and civic agencies.
Dr. Karl Scliaffie, director of the
tuberculosis division of the State De
partment of Health, has already sent
a letter to the doctors under his di
rection urging them to help the seal
campaign. Dr. John D. McLean,
Deputy Commissioner of Health, at
the direction of Colonel Martin, is
also sending a letter to doctors un
der the State Department of Health
ashing active aid in the seal sale.
Colonel Martin enumerates several
very practical methods that can be
employed to combat tuberculosis.
His statement follows:
"The fight against tuberculosis is
so large and is of such vital impor
tance to the State that it can only
be successfully accomplished by a
complete, cordial and intelligent co
ordination of both State and private
agencies. The Christmas Seal Cam
paign is the most potential means of
bringing about this co-ordination.
"Education as based on theory and
practice. The theory regarding con
sumption and the avoidance of it
implies the maintenance of health
at its highest standard, since thus
the invasion of all bacterial diseases
ia best combatted. A second point,
of np less importance, is the avoid
ance* of direct and intimate contact
with the carriers of the tuberculosis
germs and this is particularly im
portant during infancy and child
hood.
"Thc> practical application lies in
securing in each municipality of this
State housing such as allows of full
physical development and this is a
problem for each municipality to
take up itself, and one which it is
perfectly competent to settle. This
should be done and will be done
by the local health committees.
"The second practical point is pro
viding proper nutrition; this also can
be managed by the local health com
mittee, but it implies—indeed re
quires, a study of the environment
of each child so placed that the com
munity is not assured it has either
adequate or proper food.
"The third practical point is the
listing of all cases of consumption
and an assurance on the part of
local health committees that these
cases are not a menace to others.
The sufferers can be so trained that
the menace is reduced to a minimum
as far as the public is concerned;
they cannot be so trained that the
menace is not an ever threatening
one in so far as children living in
tlie same house are concerned, if
this housing be only just adequate,
or, as is too often the case, entirely
inadequate. Under such circum
stances the community is deliberate
ly breeding future consumptives.
"Another practical point lies in
the fact that those with enlarged
tonsils, adenoids, and defective teeth
have their resistance to infection
(hereby lessened and are easy vic
tims to any infection, the tubercu
losis form among the rest, Hence
it. again becomes incumbent on these
local committees to see that every
child thus handicapped for life re
ceives treatment to render him more
resistant during childhood, so that
later in life he may be able to throw
off these infections.
"As a part of the practical work
of the campaign there must be
clinics and meetings especially de
voted to the study of tuberculosis
and to the carrying out of the plan
previously outlined above; this
through the medium of social work
ers, of nurses, of doctors, and of co
operation of the various civic agen
cies."
EXPERIENCED
"Have you ever had any exper
ence in handling high class ware?"
asked a deuler in bric-a-brac of an
applicant for work.
"No, sir," was the reply, "but I
think I can do it."
"Suppose," said the dealer, "you
accidentally broke a very valuable
porcelain vase, what would you do?"
"I should put it cnrefullv to
gether,' replied the man, "and set
it where a wealthy customer would
be sure to knock It over ngn'n."
"Consider yourself engaged." said
the denier. "Now, tell me where you
learned that trick of the trade."
"A few years ago," answered the
other, "T was one of the 'wealthy
customer' class." —Pittsburgh Chron

SAYS GOD CAN
UTILIZE "JAZZ"
Minister Holds He Will Bring
World Through Even This
Restless Age
Philadelphia. Americans are
living in "a jazz age." the Rev. Dr.
John Allan Blair told a congregation
here at the centenial exercises in the
Tabernacle Presbyterian Church.
The clergyman intimated that the
church was meeting with difficulties
owing to the ragtime proclivities of
the present generation, but, lie said,
can use even a jazz age to work
out the salvation of mankind.
"Someone has said that Americans
axe worshipers of the great god
Jazz," Dr. Blair told hi 3 congregation,
which included many University of
Pennsylvania students. "It may be
true that we are living in a jazz age.
We are living in an age where every
thing goes. We are impatient under
restraints. There is a moral loose
ness, a lack of steadiness.
"In Bolshevism we have in extreme
form the thing which affects all of
us.
"Jazz empitomizes the spirit of the
age. Jazz is the most popular dance
and jazz is the most popular music."
With jazz in the atmosphere, and
even the moral structure jazzing. Dr.
Blair said, the question confronting
the church was whether it should
"quit or go on." The clergyman did
not take a pessimistic view of the
situation: on the contrary, he said
the church has its greatest task be
fore it.
