It is caused by a germ which passes from a person with tuberculosis to others. An un- discovered case of tuberculosis is likely to be the cause of other cases. Consequently a large share of Christmas Seal funds, which are used for tuberculosis preven- tion, are devoted to the detection of unknown cases.

TNE'cAlVPrt SPORTS COLUMN that Boston of the late become one eet s'emor 7elfeedose This is the second of three columns, briefly outlining the amazing growth of the National Hoeltey League, now 35 years old.. The National Hockey League, born in 1917, and now celebrating its thirty-fifth birthday, became international for the first time in the season of 1924-25 when it was only seven years old. It was in that year Bruins entered the League, under the ownership Charles F. Adams and Boston was destined to of the greatest hockey centres in the world. The same year, 1924-25, Montreal Maroons purchased a franchise in the National League, giving Montreal two pro- fessional teams for the first time since the season of 1916-17, and creating one of the most bitter, and also most colorful. rivalries in Canadian sports history. In 1925-26, two more United States teams appeared in the League, Pittsburg Pirates and New York Americans, Pitts - burg's team was made up on a basis of -the amateur Hornets, title-holders of the United States the previous season, while Americans bought the ,Hamilton franchise and team intact. In 1926-27, major league hockey had lured in three more United States teams, representing two cities new to major hockey. The powerful Rangers come into existence in New York; Detroit interests, purchasing the Victoria team of the defunct Pacific Coast League, became a franchise -holder, Chicago entered a strong team in the major group by pur- chasing the Portland team of the Pacific Coast League. It was in 1926 that the Pacific Coast League expired, as a major organization, throwing on the market a flood of playing stars destined to write history in the N.H.L. notably Eddie Shore, the Cook brothers, Dutton, Gardiner and Boucher. This help- ed to make possible the new eastern teams, and brought into eastern hockey a great array of new names, new faces, new figures, destined for stardom, and with tremendous customer - appeal. The Pittsburg franchise was operated in Philadelphia for one season, 1930-31, thus bringing to a total of six, and the six greatest cities in the United States, where major league hockey had been played within the period from 1924, in- dicating the wild -fire fashion in which the grip of the thrill- ing ,Canadian sport had taken hold. ' St. Louis, entering the League in 1934, took over the Ottawa players, but remained for only one season. Montreal Maroons retired, then New York (or Brooklyn) Americans, leaving the present six -team set-up. Next: Hockey's revolution.
