PARIS, Aug. 3 <U.R)—The French
National Committee for Protection
Against Tuberculosis has announc-
ed that its 10th International Con-
gress would be held in Lisbon on
Stjpt. 5-9. Prof Lopo de Carvalho
has been elected president of the
congress, which will be attended by
lung specialists from all over the
world.
An official of the organization
said that choice of Lisbon as seat of
the meeting had been made as
tribute to remarkable progress
made in anti-tuberculosis war in
Portugal during the past few
years., it was pointed out, was one
of the fi«t European countries to
organize controlled prophylatic cen
ters against this disease in 1901
under the inspiration of the French
specialist, Albert Calmette.
At present every important town
in Portugal has its local tubercu-
losis center known as dispensario
districal, all of which have been ex-
cellently equipped with X-ray and
ultra-violet ray apparatus where
patients are received free and
treated without charge.
At the same time, the number of
sanatorium# has increased. The
castle at Outao, which was a gift to
the nation of King Carlos, has been
transformed into a seaside sanator.
ium, while at Carcavelos there ii
a clinic for women and children. At
Portalegre there is a sanatorium
I in the mountains, while in Iisbon
itself there is the Ajuda hospital,
which makes a specialty of tuber-
cular surgery.
In all, Portugal now has seven
sanatoriums in full activity, while
three more are being constructed.
There also are 63 dispensaries-and
two preventoria.
At the beginning of the present
century there was an organization
similar to the present International
Union against Tuberculosis in Ber-
lin, but that came to an end in
1914. It was not until October,
1920, that the first International
Congress was held in Paris in the
Sorbonne. At that time war against
tuberculossis was launched onH
international basis.
In the interest of a commer-
cial orchard project over 50 far-
mers and business men of Van
visited here Tuesday to inspect
the orchards of several ( Mexia
growers.
The group was headed by C. B.
Senter, head of the vocation agri-
culture department of the Van
High school and J. E. Roberts,
his assistant, The agriculture de-
partment of the Van school is the
sponsor of the project.
The Mexia visit was the third
of its kind made by the Van ag-
gregation.

Please Pass Pop..
I Mean 'Hoppers
DALHART, Aug. 3 <U,R)-C. V.
Hartshorn of the. Dalhart county
agent's office is afraid of catching
himself asking, "Please pass the
popcorn —I mean the 'hopers."
Reading that Dr. Roger C. Smith,
Kansas State College entomologist,
says grasshoppers, properly pre-
pared, are a good substitute for
popcorn, Hartshon has been urging
his firends to test Smith's theory.
He said he is going to eat some
"hoppers but he is going to let oth-
ers pull off their legs, keep them
without food eight to nine hours,
sprinkle with salt, oil or butter and
serve.
