34 The Health Bulletin produce. I know some folks who can hit a knothole in the floor twenty feet away. I am not siDeaking of you ladies—you are too decent; I am speaking of men. We spit everywhere. We have gotten used to spitting in the courthouse, in the drug store and everywhere else, and all over each other. I got on the train not so long ago up at Greensboro on my way to High Point. The coach had just been cleaned up and dusted so clean and I am ashamed to tell the condition of the coach when I got out at High Point—besides trash and such like there were three pools of tobacco spit, maybe containing tubercle baccili. And yet we men in North Carolina have been criticising some of the ladies about the length of the skirts they wear. Now, I want to say to you ladies right here and now, until the men in North Carolina stop spitting tobacco juice everywhere you have to go, you wear your clothes to suit yourselves, as it is a much healthier way for all concerned. I am frank enough to say, however, that under the present existing styles there is very little danger of contamination. (Dr. J. L. Spruill) * * ♦ One thing we can do to limit infection Avith the tubercle bacillus, into which we have not gone with all the ardor and vigor we can, and that is remove the eternal menace of sputum, which is spat out everywhere and which gives our children not only tuberculosis, but diphtheria and other diseases. That will be controlled not so much by law as by eternally keeping at it, with a sound public opinion behind us. People say, ''Well, what are you going to do when you have to spit?" I say, ''Well, women do not spit on the street." In China and Japan micturition and defecation on the street are common, but we have advanced a little farther than that. It is simply a matter of emerging from barbarism. (Dr. Allen K. Krause) ♦ ♦ » I just want to say that there is a great ray of hope to us through the Modern Health Crusade. It will probably never be possible to get the older people to quit the hawking and spitting they have been doing all their lives, but we can teach the children to take the precautions that they should. (Dr. P. P. McCain) ♦ * # I may say, for the interest of the audience, that it was the pleasure and opportunity and the duty of the North Carolina State Board of Health, at one of its sessions several years ago, to go on record to the effect that in their judgment the time had arrived for the State to provide means for the treatment of the colored people suffering from tuberculosis. Later on it was the pleasure of the General Assembly to make an appropriation of $100,000 for a building at the State Sanatorium w^hich will, I understand, be opened about next May. (Dr. J. Howell Way) * * At the conclusion of a most interesting paper on The Tuberculous Delinquent by Mr. Wiley B. Sanders, Executive Secretary of the State Conference for Social Workers, the following resolutions were presented and unanimously adopted: 1. That all sentenced prisoners shall be under the control of the State of North Carolina. 2. That no municipal or county jail be used except as a place of detention for those awaiting trial. 3. That the present law in regard to the physical examination of all prisoners by the county health authority within forty-eight hours after commitment, be strictly enforced by the State Board of Health. 4. That the State Board of Health furnish to the respective county health authorities forms for the physical examination of prisoners, and that such forms shall be filled out by the county health authorities on every prisoner committed to any county or municipal jail or road camp whatsoever, and that said forms shall be mailed to the State Board of Health. 5. That the Board of Directors of the State's Prison establish a colony for tuberculous prisoners on the State Prison Farm, and transfer to said colony all tuberculous delinquents now confined in the tubercular ward of the State Prison. 6. That the sheriffs of the respective counties of the State shall send to the said proposed colony for tuberculous delinquents all county or municipal prisoners under sentences of three months or more, who have been diagnosed by the county health authority or the State Board of Health as being affected with tuberculosis. 7. That said tuberculous prisoners shall remain in the colony until cured, or until the expiration of their
