One third of the people in the United States today are infected with live tubercule barilli. This fact stands out in the face of progress against tuberculosis. For the first time in history progress against tuberculosis has overshadowed the tragedy of the disease. The death rate has been reduced drastically five per cent since 1900, bringing it down to 10 per 100,000 population today.
The Sun reports TB remains the leading infectious killer with about 45 deaths daily and 400,000 Americans in active disease, 160,000 unreported. Roughly 100,000 new cases are seen annually, and one third of Americans are tuberculin reactors, risking 2,700,000 future active cases. Progress in treatment is noted as significant, prevention lagging.

It notes Otto Petersen and wife arriving in Soda Abou after a night crossing the cut off and a reference to Andrew Carnegie adding ten million dollars to an endowment at the Carnegie Institute.
