Veneral Diseases
Take Heavy Toll

| You were shocked to hear that the
number of deaths resulting from the
influenza epidemic in 1918 was great
Or than the total losses among the
American troops during the war Is
it any less a shock to know that the
Army lost more days of service on
account of venereal diseases than
from any other disease? One hundred
and ninety-seven thousand such cases
were reported in the army camps dur
ing the Is months ending November,
1918. This meant a loss of approx
mately two and one-half million train
ing days. Is it any wonder that the
Surgeon General of the Army stated
| that If it were possible to rid his
men either of all wounds or Of all
venereal diseases he would rather rid
them of the venereal cases?
But venereal disease is not, pri-
marily, military problem or war
time epidemic. Estimates show that
one man contracted the disease after
entering the service to every five be-
fore entering it. This means that the
source of disease is in civilian COM
munities-your communities. The
draft, with it's examination of the ma
tons men, resulted in digging I'M
derneath the sod of everyday life and
| showing that out of sight in your
town, in your State, there is going on
yearly an untold waste of manhood,
womanhood and childhood by the raw
ages of these diseases.
Being highly contagious, they have
entered homes and marriage relations.
Women and children, not knowing the
cause, have suffered from them for
generations. Innocent young wives,
previously healthy, have been mutilat-
ed by necessary surgical operations,
some have been made invalids, many
have remained childless, and others
have lost life itself Babies have been
| born dead or defective, others have
become blind few hours after birth.
This is in addition to the thousands
of men who, thinking they were cured
| by patent remedies, have been visit
| ed years later by sterlllty, paralysis
and insanity.
PreventabIe Diseases
Nor is this terrible waste of health
and life inevitable. Syphilis and
gonorrhoea must be classed as pre-
ventable contagious diseases. We
know and can identify through the
microscope the germs which cause
| them. We know and can locate many
of the personal carriers. Exposure
to them can be practically minimized
to the vanishing point if we elimi-
nate the entirely unnecessary and
harmful contacts of irregular sexual
| intercourse. After the success of the
army camps in prevention by suppress
sion of prostitution, education, recre-
alton and early treatment, we have
an exact method of attack upon them.

phlet, Parents Part" known as

SOCIETY
Webb-Turpin.

A wedding of unusual interest to
Americas people was that of Miss
Lila Webb, of Sumter, to A. B. Tur-
pin, which was solemnized last night
at $3.50 O'Clock at the Lee Street
Methodist parsonage, Rev. Silas john
son officiating. The wedding is the
elimination of romance which began
several years ago and holds additional
interest from the fact that the bride
only returned a few days ago from
wesleyan college, while the groom
has recently arrived from France,
where he served for more than a year
with the American army. W. G. Tur-
pin, Jr., acted as best man and was
the only attendant, the ceremony be-
ing performed with only a few rela-
tiVes and intimate friends present.
Mrs. Turpin, as Miss Lila Webb, has
been very popular in Americas, where
she has a wide circle of friends. She
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. J.
WeDD, OF Sumter, and is young
woman of great personal charm. Mr..
Turpin is the youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. Turpin and has a host
OF friends here, where he has lived all
his life. Mr.. and Mrs. Turpin will
be at home for the present with Mr.
and Mrs. G. A. Turpin, on Taylor
street.

Watch Outtof Amy
Worm,F armers Told

WASHINGTON, May 27.-No new
appearance of the army worm has
been reported to the United States de-
partment of agriculture and with the
strenuous efforts being put forth in
Texas to prevent its spread there is
hope that it may be confined to the
vicinity of Dallas and Fort Worth
where the pest has manifested itself
this year and has caused considerable
damage to wheat and oats.
Farmers in all states east of the
Rocky mountains however, are urged
by the department to remain on the
watch for the insect and to report its
discovery Immediately to state or
federal agricultural officials.
The army worm is simply cut
worm that has developed migratory
habits explains DR.. l.. o Haword chief
of the departments bureau of ento-
mology. In some years its reproduc-
ton may be small and all of the
worms find sufficient food in the i'm
mediate neighborhood. In other years
conditions bring about their reproduc-
ton in enormous numbers, and when
that happens they manifest the char
acteristic that gives them their popu-
lar name. They move forward in enor,
nous numbers in search of food-nor-
mally marching during the day and
resting and eating at night, but some
times eating voraciously during the
day and sometimes eating each othe
when foraging proves vain.
This year the worms appeared in
enormous numbers in the vicinity of
Dallas and Fort Worth caused great
damage and soon they were ION the
move" for fresh feeding grounds.
Alarms were sent all over the wheat
regions of Texas and farmers pre-
pared to fight the invaders by means
of poisons and trenches into which
the army worms would fall

of powder for the feet because it made the men
more efficient. They could walk twice as far

ATLANTA SCRIBE
WRITES OF EYES
TRIP TOCAPlTAL

Here's how the Atlanta Georgi;
yesterday reported the arrival
Lovelace Eve by airplane to after
the convention there of the Southel
Commercial secretaries:
When you miss your tran for an
important engagement, you simply
go out and get you an airplane and
beat the train in 2 or 3 hours
just as easy! When you live in
Americas, anyway
Lovelace Eve, formerly secreta-
ry of the Decatur Board OF Trade
and now vice-president of the Am
CIRCUS Chamber of Commerce,
reached Hapeville Field by air.
plane at lao o'clock Monday az
ternoon, having flown from Am
CIRCUS, where he left Southr Field
at 10:40 o'clock in Curtiss plane
piloted by Lieut.. Floyd Wilson,
one of the brilliant flyers who
performed for Atlanta last week
in the interests of the Salvation
Army campaign and the army
recruiting drive. The flight, by
reason of a detour was 100 miles.
Mr.. Eve was coming over for the
Southern Commercial Secretaries
Convention, being held in Atlanta
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
He missed his train-a calamity,
as he was coming to Atlanta and
had binding engagement for the
convention meetings Monday.
What to do?
Easy. There was Souther Field
and while Atlanta may be nearly
five hours by rail, it is only little
more than an hour by the air route
-or maybe two hours in a safe
and sane Curtiss plane, breezing
along at Is miles an hour through
the sky.
Mr. Eve hurried to Souther
Field and unbosomed himself.
1--WE simply got to get there"
he concluded.
"All right said the c. o.
You'll be heretofore the train
you missed"
And Lieutenant Wilson was call
ed. He wanted to come to Atlanta
anyhow, and everything was love-
ly. The plane will be sent back
to Souther Field Tuesday by way
of Lagrange.
In consideration of the 'rescue"
of Mr.. Eve, Colonel B. M. Bailey
lead of the recruiting station here
and Lieutenant Wilson were invit-
ed to address the convention on
the unusual opportunities now be-
ing offered by enlistment in the
army, and Mr.. Eve volunteered
to speak in the same cause.
Colonel Bailey's topic was the
famous university of khaki
the university now established
among the American Expedition
airy forces in Europe, now at
tended by more than 5000 soldiers
of the United States, taking cours-
es in every imaginable branch of
training, from machine shop prac-
tice and wagon building to teleg-
raphy and engineering.
The need of the Georgia camps
makes recruiting peculiarly
timely and desirable matter just
now. At Camp Jesup hundreds of
automobiles are lying idle, and at
Souther Field there are 100 of the
latest type of airplanes, and only
60 ment to keep the place up. Col
onel Bailey says opportunities for
promotion in the service never
were so good as today.
