Laws Are So Complicated
LONDON, April 20—The Texas Oil Company of the United States has supplied gasoline to the Spanish insurgents, Philip Jordan declared in the News Chronicle today in an article describing "Fascist Terrorism" in the Tangier international zone.
-from the New York Post
"The rebels, whose apparently unlimited supply of petrol has always been a mystery, at present obtain it from independent concerns, including the Texas Oil Company, with a ninety-day credit," Jordan wrote.
It's funny, but we thought congress had passed an embargo against the shipping of gasoline and other materials of war to Spain ... But we must be wrong, for surely the ethics of such big organizations cannot be questioned.
Is College
Lacking Something?
It is known that most nursery schools and many of the lower grades are supervised now from a psychological angle in an effort to assist the development of juvenile personalities. But many persons reach college age without such direction either in the school or the home who realize their weaknesses but are unable to help themselves. If the university or college is to be successful in its purpose—that of preparing youth for life—it must do more than assist in the obtaining of vocational knowledge; it should offer guidance in mental adjustment so that success can come socially as well as vocationally.
Luella Cole, in her "Psychology of Adolescence," makes the statement that "As long as people become angry over superficial social situations, are afraid of what other people will think, are dependent upon older people or members of their own sex for happiness, or are inclined to take everything personally, they have not yet ceased to be adolescents. It is at once clear that some people never grow up and that others do not become mature until long after they have passed beyond the age of legal responsibility."
Almost anyone reading this statement will recognize its truth and will perhaps admit its personal application. If they follow their train of thought farther, they will wonder what, if anything, is being done to destroy such feelings.
Courses in personality adjustment or social outlook may some day be as common as those in history or English. When that time comes, college graduates will be thoroughly educated. They will have outgrown their adolescence.
Londoners flocked the streets to see the Coronation rehearsal the other day, probably on the premise that it would be their only chance to get near enough to see the procession.
Britain Raises Taxes
Gasps of astonishment greeted Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlin's introduction of Great Britain's first "rearmament budget" a few days ago. Cause for the gaping was the announcement that under the new budget the standard income rate is hiked to 25 per cent, one dollar out of every four earned by the British taxpayer going to the government as income tax.
Similar gasps of astonishment were forthcoming from congress and United States citizens a few years ago when Franklin D. Roosevelt requested an appropriation of five billion dollars for relief purposes.
There's a wide difference between the two objectives.
Both proposals summoned the taxpayer to dig deeper into his already depression-damaged pocketbook. But here the analogy ceases. England's funds are to be spent for purposes of war, thinly clothed under that eulogistic term, "national defense." The American taxpayer emptied his pockets in the interests of social and economic welfare.

problems of the Western Hemisphere which may prove a large task. But what we hope they'll give special attention to is quieting down these raucous Mexican border stations. If nothing can be done to stop them from broadcasting their sucker bait they should at least be stopped from drowning out every other station near them on the dial.
Every day that passes brings these vultures more dollars. The pity of the whole thing is that the ones who fall for the oil well shares, cancer cures, astrological boloney, and what not are the people who have little enough money as it is. That these stations are situated where they are is proof enough that their ethics are microscopic.
So we fervently pray that something will be done to shut up the swindlers.
It's Hardly Fair To The W.P.A.
Sixty-two centuries from now a group of archaeologists will apply their eighty-second century equivalents of picks and shovels to the stainless steel walls of a crypt buried in the ruins of what is now Oglethorpe University at Atlanta, Ga. Peering into the crypt's cavernous depths they will gasp in astonishment at the array of objects placed there by the well-wishing prehistoric creatures of the twentieth century.
This at least is the plan, which is visioned as a means of acquiring eighty-second century man with the details of the twentieth century civilization. The exact date for the opening is 8113 A.D. Because that year is as far in the future as the first recorded date in history is in the past. In order to prevent people from opening the crypt before this date an inscription is to be placed on the outside and a law is to be passed making a premature opening a felony.
Of course, this archaeology duty of ours may be appreciated in the far distant future, but we were under the impression that archaeologists won their fortunes and fame by digging and diligently seeking things. Here we of the twentieth century, harassed by the problem of unemployment are attempting to continue the dilemma for posterity by cheating the archaeologists out of finding hidden material. If we wanted to aid this future generation we should carefully hide each bit of evidence of this generation. Then, the eight-second century could put men to work digging it up—and we would be given credit for bringing on an era of prosperity.
Now comes the news that Vitamin B will turn gray hair to its original color (at least it worked on rats). Amazing, isn't it? But then, who ever dreamed that jake-leg came from Jamaica ginger, or big oak trees from little acorns?

Combatting Early Syphilis
By JOHN H. STORES, M.D.
(Reprinted by cument of Readers Digest.)
Forward by Dr. Thomas Parran
Surgon-General
U.S. Public Health Service
CONTROLS and ultimate extermination of syphilis is the frank objective of the war now being waged by the U. S. Public Health Service and other health authorities throughout the nation.
SYPHILIS, the wrecker and dis abler, ranks high if not actually first among the causes of death. Untreated or insufficiently treated it invades heart and brain, may ravage the nervous system and lay waste the mechanisms of sight and locomotion. It is the great ven-rioliusque amongst diseases; in its final stages it may speak from any organ or tissue of the body. And yet this pitiless killer can be brought to heel by modern treatment. Indeed the encouraging aspect of the stern compartment was known as the syphilis which is the fact that if physician and patient wisely perform their respective functions, cure is all but inevitable.
Quick recognition of *early syphilis* is the hope of the afflicted and the test of the physician's skill. The first sign of the disease is usually an unobtrusive, often painless, moist spot or sore appearance on the genitales or lips, or in the mouth or throat, from the incision made during a minor initial lesion, or chancre, is rarely conspicuous; sometimes it does not appear at all, and in women may be totally out of sight. Fortunate indeed is the patient whose primary warning is so obvious that competent advice is sought at once. Early identification is necessary at all, as patients to stop transmission, but every hour *ounts towards a cure*.
Must Secure Medical Aid
The very moment a person suspects he has syphilis he should go, he must go, to a competent doctor. If he knows no such doctor, let him call the Board of Health, the city or county medical society, or a local hospital, and be told where to find help. Under no circumstances should he apply the salve or take the medicine recommended by a drug clerk or friend; an untreated sore is essential to quick recognition. And
lastly, he must not kive or have sex relations with anyone until he is instructed by his doctor, for in its general syphilis is terribly conglagious.
A competent physician painstakingly scrutinizes the patient's entire body in a good light, looks in his mouth. Then he asks questions: what, how long, the circumstances? Patient, be truthful here, for your life may depend on it! Tell what you can, for your cure and the safety of this first frank talk. No decent physician will betray you. Trust us.
Makes Serum Examinations
Putting on rubber gloves the doctor now gets a few drops of serum from the early sore and either gends it to a laboratory or examines it itself if he has a "darkfield" microscope. The spiral germ of syphilis can be seen in a darkfield examination, alive and moving, as dust motes are visible in a sunbeam. The spotting of this corkscrew-shaped organism is the first step in diagnosis, for if the germ can be discovered by darkfield before the blood test becomes positive (of which more presently) infectious and transmission can be shut off within a few hours, and cure is a matter of nearly 100 percent certainty.
But even expert examination may not find the syphilis germ the first time; possibly several attempts must be made. Perhaps if examination is delayed the sore disappears. If this occurs, do not be bullied into a feeling of false security, for trifling beginnings in syphilis often have the gravest consequences. Other signs must be looked for, other tests must be done. One of the most important examinations, usually a Wassermann test, based on the fact that a syphilitic infection is accompanied by changes in the blood serum which

identify (within very narrow limits of error) the presence of the disease. [The Kahn and Kline tests are simplifications of the original Wassermann procedure, and detect the presence of syphilitic changes in the blood and spinal fluid by producing a precipitate that is visible to the eye or microscope.] Such a test must be taken repeatedly during the early days or weeks before the patient is dismissed.
Must Play the Game
So useful is this Wassermann test, that it has tended to become the first, and too often the only resort of the doctor in identifying syphilis. Enormously valuable though it is, this test fails us just at the critical time for securing the highest percentage of curea. For a Wassermann test does not "come positive" as we say, until the 10th to 12th day after infection, when it does come positive, the chance of already been diminished. Lucky is the person who though proved to have the germ by darkfield, still has a "negative" blood. For he, the zero-negative primary case, has 60 to 90 chances of cure, while a later cure has only from 60 to 80 percent.
Must Play the Game
When the laboratory reports come in, the patient asks inevitably, "Doctor, can I be cured?" An honest answer is, "Yes, up to 80 or 90 certainty, if you have the deter
