Chamonix Saranac

American money is sought for a "French Saranac" to be built near Chamonix (altitude 4,000 feet), to have at first 90 beds, to memorialize Edward Trudeau, founder of the tuberculosis colony at Saranac, N. Y.

French citizens have already subscribed 1,000,000 francs ($40,000) through a committee headed by Leon Bourgeois, humanitarian. Americans are asked for $20,000.

There is evidence to show that tuberculosis is more rampant in France than in the U. S. Whereas New York City is reported to have 10.3 deaths per 10,000, Paris has 29.2.

Among those backing the project are: Dr. Roux, head of the Pasteur Institute; Baronne Lajeune, Le Marechal Foch, Mme. Louis Stern, Joseph Barthelemy, Dr. Alexander Bruno of the Rockefeller Institute and Professor Albert Calmette. Jean Stern, No. 18 Rue Octave Feuillet, Paris, is Treasurer.

Work begins in the Spring.
