Latest War News From Syphilis Front
Syphilis claims another victim! Al Capone, for years gangland's No. 1 man in Chicago, now serving a term in Alcatraz prison, has log his mind; the victim, it is believed, of peresis.
Paresis is a malignant degeneration of the brain which results from syllips. It can be checked and the mind returned to what we may term normal, but cephalic tissue once destroyed can never be replaced.
Thus, in an ironic fashion, one enemy of society has been destroyed to all intents, by another and a more deadly enemy of society.
Students of the University of Texas voted Friday—3,371 to 0—in favor of a voluntary Wassermann test at the University. The election came as the result of a campus campaign which has been waged against venereal disease.
Says one paper in commenting upon this:
New York University is being editorially patted on the back by eastern college papers for its recent adoption of the voluntary Wassermann test.
A prominent medical authority once expressed the opinion that if people were as scrupulous in avoiding the sources of venereal diseases as they were in avoiding the mention of them they would have been virtually under control long ago.
The policy of New York University is to be commended and recommended to every university and every other institution which purports to foster the progress of society.
It isn't enough merely to brag that our University was one of the first in the country to have the voluntary Wassermann test. The point is:
Have you had your Wassermann test?
Not All Die
In Bed Either
We usually think of h-o-m-e as a place of safety and security from all danger, but the death of Judge Bird this week, reminds us that this is not always true.
Pertinent to this is a report by the National Safety council which states that the total deaths from accident in the home last year were 32,000 as compared to 19,000 occupational deaths and 39,700 traffic deaths.
Thus the home, which should be the happiest, safest place in the world, produces more accidents than does industry or any other accident producing unit except traffic.
According to data compiled by the United States department of commerce, the main causes for accidents in the home are falls, burns, cuts and infections, electrocection, poison, asphyxiation, and spontaneous combustion.
We may well adopt a policy of accident prevention in our homes—be continually alert to find the causes for accidents and eliminate as many as possible. We should keep in mind that the things we use and the houses we live in are imperfect things, and can all be improved, made safer and more useful.
Since the lives and welfare of all of us are at stake, the subject of home safety is worthy of our most careful thought.
Is Courtship Lost--
Or Has It Strayed?
In defense of the woman, Kalish blames her aggressiveness on the recent trend to shyness among men, pointing out the girl who has known nothing but coyness and coquetry all her life; who has patiently waited for some young Lochinvar to get up enough nerve to propose and as a result has lost.
"Is Courtship a Lost Art?" is the subject of a debate between Margaret Daniels and Harvey Kalish in the current issue of Forum Magazine.
Miss Daniels believes the advent of aggressiveness on the part of woman in courtship is destroying the art and robbing man of the one thing most essential—his role as pursuer and not the pursued. If the art is to remain woman must retain her femininity. To quote Miss Daniels, "Call femininity what you may—coyness or coquetry—but it is, in the final analysis, behavior that spurs on the male to pursue."
Each writer is partly correct; one from the point of the man who loves the chase, and the other from the point of the girl who will lose if she fails to break down her suitor's shyness.
Both have failed, however, to consider the rise of other considerations in courtship. Women have entered into the field of occupations
with men; have gained a taste of economic independence and are unwilling to marry on small incomes; unemployment; the urban trends of population; changing sex-mores arising out of these factors—all have had their effect upon courtship and marriage.
Courtship is not a lost art, but influenced by a host of new conditioning factors, it has become more diversified and different from what it was.
"The cheapest thing this country can do would be to spend a few billion dollars on national defense to preserve the civilization, humanity, and morality of the world." So says Senator Key Pitman of Nevada, chairman of the foreign relations committee, speaking in the Senate last Monday.
We, however, opine a good 5-cent cigar for each of us would be cheaper and do a great deal more for "civilization, humanity, and morality."
The Daily Cardinal of the University of Wisconsin says that men students prefer studying without a conversational dressing, and girl students prefer theirs with.
