DIR. E. F. King, one of the fore
most authorities in Washington on
sex diseases, asserted that the same
prejudice existed at first against the
reporting of tuberculosis as a COM
municable disease.
No one now would think of OBJ
jecting because he Is reported as a
tubercular patient, and in a few
years the reporting of sex diseases
will be taken just as much for
granted Health authorities are
bound to recognize the need for such
reporting. These diseases are more
widespread than most other COM
municable diseases Smallpox is
well in hand. A sufferer from either
of the sex diseases is more dan
gerous to the community at-large
than a leper.
''Of course, il these diseases were
made reportable, the law might be
broken at first But each year there
would be more rigid observance of
the requirement The medical pro-
fession needs to be educated in this
respect, as well as do the laymen."

A Visit From Eleanor Fairlow

loved any man. My dear, a woman
who truly loves man will take any
kind OF chance he asks and the
more the chance seems to sacrifice
herself the quicker she'll take It."
Then you think those women who
have considered the world well lost
and all for love- have loved to a
greater degree than those who have
withstood the temptation of a great
lover"
Il cannot make 1t quite SO sweep
ing as that" | answered, "for many
women do not give themselves to the
men they love because they know
that In doing so they will not only
spoil their own lives but the lives or
the men as well.
No woman hesitates to sacrifice
herself wholly for the man she loves
but she will not allow the man she
loves to sacrifice himself for her.
That Is the difference between
mans love and womans--a difference
that has come through ages OF the
education and environment.
You know, my dear Miss Fairlow,
that there Is double standard of
education and environment quite as
much as there Is double standard
OF morals. A boy learns different
things and frequents different places
from the time he begihs to play ball
and frequent the oid swimming hole. :.
Perhaps you are right said
Eleanor Fairlow as she said good
bye.
