Bb|ek PLAGUE
BILL IS KILLED
Cowardice Shown By Iowa Legisla-
tors In Not Passing Law To Pro-
test Women and Children.
sy ELIzAseTH J. HAUsER.

DIES MONIES, April 1.-THE Iowa
aouse OF representatives has killed
the bill providing for county COM
mission TO whom physicians must re-
port all cases OF black plague"
The measure had the Endorsement
OF 40 organizations. medical, educa.
tional, religious and commercial,
among them the Mothers Congress
and the W. c. r. g.. A Des Aeihes
paper says that these women have
been slapped"
The purpose OF this brief article
Is not to eommiserate the chastised
sisters-(women arr used 10 that
sort OF treatmentl--nor yet 10 dis
cuss the merits OF the particular bill
I'm question, but simply to present a
few facts.
Social diseases (so-called by timid
persons) cause so per cent OF the In
fiammatory diseases peculiar TO won
en-, and make necessary 80 per cent
OF the surgical operations performed
because OF these maladies.
To one OF these diseases Is attrib-
uted 80 per cent OF blindness in the
new born. and Is to 20 per cent OF
all blindness Is due TO the same In
lection.
OF babies afflicted with another of
these diseases, the one which may

be transmitted to them In all its
virulence, from 60 TO so per cent die
before birth or shortly after being
born, and those which survive are
subject to organic defects which are
capable of transmission To the third
generation.
Ninety per cent CT cases OF loco
motor ataxia are attributed TO this
same disease, and Investigations in
French insane asylums show that
Is to 80 per cent of deaths In these
institutions may be traced to 1t.
These are only few facts; just
the common, everyday ones with
which even the laity is familiar.
In the face OF them, however. how
do you feel about the argument Of
the Iowa solons that TO have enact
cd the law which they, had under
consideration would ''resalt in the d.
vorce court working overtime?"
Wouldn't II be better to work the
divorce courts overtime than 10 go
on with this wanton sacrifice?
Somebody said to Charlotte Perkins
I0ilman that a knowledge of these con-
ditions would break up families. and
she replied: 1T would. 1t would
break up many OF them"
Somebody else has said TO her that
q physician could not report cases Of
seocial disease because OF his Hip
rocratic oath" She simply asked:
what becomes OF a physicians Hip
pocratic oath when a patient has
smallpox"
Never mind about the divorce
courts and never mind about the Hip
spocratic oath.
The first thing OF all is to face the
situation as 1t is, 10 admit the facts,
TO let into dark places the white light
OF truth; to stop lying about 1t to
ourselves and to each other.
The Legislators of Iowa were afraid.
They were towards. They wouldn't
even talk about 1t. Yes, but they
are no different from the rest of US.
We are all In the mire together
men and women as individuals and as
members of the community; the
church. the medical profession. the
press.
All are guilty--either OF ignorance
OF conditions or OF the moral coward
ice that seals the lips. The conse-
quences of this combination OF igRor-
ance and cowardice are visited upon
the guiltless no less than upon the
guilty.
Why should succeeding generations
OF boys and girls be permitted TO de-
stroy themselves for lack OF little
wholesome knowledge?

Arts and Crafts in the Middle
Ages" by Julia DeWolf Addison.
This artistic volume contains do
scription OF medieval workmanship
In several OF the departments OF APP
piled art, together with some account
OF special artisans In the early renais-
sance. II is noticed that many people
talk OF the delightful revival of the
arts and crafts without having very
definite idea OF the original processes
which are being restored To popular
favor. The author OF this study OF art
points out the difference between the
work that is called skilled and that
which is really artistic and beautiful.
She calls attention TO the origin or
smith" whether coppersmith or gold
smith: the term Is OF Saxon origin and
is derived from the expression he
that smiteth." In the earliest times
the use OF solder was understood and
beaten work Is mentioned In the Bib
lical records. The first chapter Of this
book deals with gold and silver. but in
the second. the subject OF "Jewelry
and Precious Stones" is taken up. The
first meaning of Jewel was JOY:
the first forms OF personal adornment
were necklaces. Enamel" Is consid.
cred. The making OF tapestry and en-
broideries claims attention. Tapestry
as IL Is usually thought OF. dates from
about the sixteenth century, but there
are earlier tapestries. The earliest
European work of this sort is the Bay
eux tapestry. The descriptions and
illustrations OF tapestries are most in
teresting. In embroideries SAINT
was the favorite material for ground
work II is interesting TO trace the
first use OF silk. A "veritable silk
trust" was established In 533 in the
Roman empire. But the real origin
OF the silk industry in Europe is owing
to certain monastic enterprise in
$50.
Sculpture in stone. carving. mosaics.
and illumination of books are gwen
consideration. The illustrations are
unusually interesting and explanatory.
The publishers have given the volume
hansome appearance.

Topeka, Kansas.-Some real good
roads legislation was enacted by the
Kansas legislature Thursday. The
house took up Senator Hodges good
roads, or rather, rock roads bill and
passed 1t within half an hour. The
bill was amended in only three places.
1t provides that so per cent of the
land owners in any district may Pc
tition for the road and the county
commissioners are to build it. The
house decided that it wished the bill
to apply to roads which will cost $500
or more instead of $1,000.
The bill was also sent to the senate
and the house amendments will be
concurred in at once. The bill prob
ably will become a law within a day
or two.

THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE
BOTH HOUSES HARD AT WORK
s' IN TOPEKA.
Many Important Measures Under Con-
Observation-Disclosures Being
Rapidly Disposed OF.

Topeka, Kansas.-It now appears al
most certain that Kansas will have
bank depositors guaranty law. Both
the house and the senate have pass
ed the bill agreed on In conference.
All that Is now needed Is the gov
ernor's signature. He will sign 1t and
1t will become law June 30.
Under the agreement the house got
pretty much all that 1t has contended
for. The conference committees re-
port provided that all trust companies
which shall desire to come under the
guaranty plan must reorganize as
state banks; that should guaranteed
bank fail, its depositors may be paid
by certificates bearing 6 per cent. The
former provision was that these GER
tificates bear 3 per cent interest In
terest bearing savings accounts, sub
ject to check, up to 500, are guaran-
teed. Interest bearing certificates OF
deposit of savings banks are also guar
anteed without regard to amount.
Reserve accounts bearing interest,
Of one bank deposited in other banks,
are not guaranteed. Senator Quincy
was chairman Of the last senate con-
ference committee. When the former
committee report was up, OF which
Senator Cambern was chairman, Sena-
tor Quincy said that in the agreement
the senate committee had traded a
bunch of ponies for string of beads.
The house passed the bill by vote
of S5 to IA.
The entire membership OF 40 sena-
tors voted AYE" which brought out
considerable applause.
