Institute The use of the double-bar- red cross as an emblem of tu- berculosis warfare by medical science has an interesting or- igin. It was at a meeting of the Intesnational Conference on Tuberculosis held in Berlin in 1902 that Dr. Sersiron of | Paris 'proposed that the ancient Lor- raine cross be made the emblem of the fight against the White Plague. The suggestion was received enthusiastically for the Lorraine cross was eminently | suited for such a purpose. back to the ninth century when it was made the emblem of the eastern branch of the Christian Church. To this day it remains the emblem of the Greek or Orthodox Catholic Church. From the eleventh to the fourteenth centu- ries the crusaders, through contact with the Eastern Church in Palestine, familiarized Europe with it. Godfrey, Duke of Lorraine, a leader of one of the first crusades, saw the cross in Jerusalem, and adopted it as his stand- ard when he was elected Christian ruler of the Holy City in 1099. It is gen- erally believed that after his return to France as the Lorraine Cross and dif- fers from the Eastern Church cross in one respect only; the lower bar is nearer the base. In order to protect the use of the emblem, the National Tuberculosis as- sociation secured its registration in 1920 as its trade mark. The double- barred cross today is strictly the trade- mark property of the National Tuber- culosis association. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Knapp of 780 Locust street.
