TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION
MEETE IN ATLANTA MAY 6-10
Austin, Texas.—Unusual interest
in the Twentieth Annual Meet'ng of
the National Tuberculosis Associa-
tion to be held in Atlanta, Ga., May
P to 10, is excited by the announce-
ment of the Nationa' Tuberculosis
Association that the death rate from
tuberculosis in C-eory!a is below b0
pel 100,000. Georgia is the first
southern stnI'c to achieve this dis-
tincition.
% According to United States census
figures for 1922, the tuberculosis
death rate from Georgia is b8 per
100,000. This compares favcrably
with the rates of su?h states as
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Maine, New
Hampshire,. New York anti Mass-
achusetts. Among the states that,
have lower rates are Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Neb-
raska, Wyoming, Utah, Montana,
Washington and Oregon.
Most of the southern states have
a, rate of over 100. That of Vir-
ginia 130, North Carolina 103, Ken-
tucky 133, Tennessee 148, South
Carolina 110, Mississippi 107, Florida
101, Louisiana 110. Figures for
West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas,
Texas and Oklahoma are not avail-
able since these states are not in
the registration area.
The health authorities of Georgia
are planning to use the occasion of
the Twentieth Annual Meeting of
the National Tuberculosis Associa-
tion in Atlanta as an opportunity
to get information and inspiration
for a further reduction in the death
rate both among white and colored.
Speakers of prominence in every
phase of tuberculosis work wilj
address the gathering and offer
suggestions along these lines.
