Of late, a great deal has been writ
ten on the subject covering venereal
diseases, and it has had very great
moral effect already Fortunately,
the day Of 'prudery" has passed, and
passed away for ever. There is moth
ing to be ashamed of about the body
that God has blessed US with. No,
but there is a great deal to be
ashamed CT in the manner in which
we abuse this wonderful body of ours.
1t is the object of the government,
and many societies and physicians in
private practice to do all in their
power to eliminate venereal diseases,
and this can only be done by con-
slant cooperation from every side.
Are you doing your bit?
When we have tuberculosis or ty-
phoid fever or any other ordinary dis
ease, we do not go to a drug store
and buy some patent medicine and at
tempt to cure ourselves Then, why
should anyone suffering from a vener-
cal disease attempt to do so? Far
less so, then. Veneral diseases re-
quire the very best of efficient treat
ment to assure of their elimination
from the system. Unless properly
treated and cured at the time, they
may lie dormant for while, only to
break out again, and to break out in
a more virulent form than before. l.
is an absolute injustice for a man or
woman who is suffering from any
form of venereal disease not to go to
a competent physician for the proper
treatment. Every such person ought
to display enough honor and self-re-
spect TO be only too anxious to be
CURED. Many a case of INHERIT
ED VENEREAL DISEASE do physi-
Phoenix tribune., 1919-02-08

clans all over the country see from
day to day, just because some person
was not honest enough to present
himself or herself for proper treat
ment at the time of infection. Many
are there who are this day syphilitic,
not through their own actions, but
through the inheritance of some ne
glectful ancestor.
A common opinion seems to be
prevalent at present that when per
son goes to Doctors office for treat
ment for venereal disease, that his
or her name is made public. This Is
absolutely erroneous. Each physician
is required to make a record of such
cases, but he is NOT to hand out the
name of the patient.
When the boys come home you will
be planning to HONOR them, so do
not allow profiteers of vice to take
advantage of days of festivity to DIS
HONOR them. Make sure that DE-
MOBILIZATION will NOT mean De
MORALIZATION.
Once more do I appeal to you to do
YOUR part and go and listen to what
your minister has to say and stand
by him in UNITY. Union is strength
Yours for the obliteration of vener-
cal diseases.

PROVES POPULAR
Statistics Taken, BY Maibohm Dealer
Gives Facts on Auto
Types.

Mr.. Swindell of the Tri-State Mo
tor corporation, who handles the
Malbohm automobile in this city, has
recently uncovered some interesting
statistics concerning the use OF the
local automobiles. For many years
1t has been mooted question among
automobile men as to whether or not
the money put into big seven-pas-
senger car was not idle capital. On
the other hand it was contended that
small wo-passenger machine de-
priNed too many members of the own
er s family Of chance to ride.
Mr.. Swindcll undertook to settle
.he question for himself last week,
when he posted one of his statesmen
at the corner of Fourteenth and G
streets northwest between the hours
of four and six o'clock in the after
noon, with instructions to count the
number of cars which passed and the
number of passengers in each car.
This time and place was selected pur-
posely in order to catch the business
crowds on the way home from work.
1t was found that of the cars
which passed, % per cent carried one
passenger, ~ per cent two passengers,
ii per cent three passengers, 13 per
cent four passengers, 10 per cent five
passengers and per cent more than
five passengers.
Mr.. Swindell has already made a
cursory survey of the same situation
on Sunday afternoon, which gives him
the figures on the use of the automo-
bile purely as a pleasure care. He is
not ready to make these public, how
ever, until he can check them up
Il am firmly convinced, though"
says Mr.. Swindell. that the Maibohm
has picked the right capacity in Civ.
ing US a five-passenger car. The fig
ures show that this Is just about the
happy medium which suits the head
of the family on week days and the
entire family on Sundays and in the
evenings"

Where to Put Ii.
Where TO put the extinguisher is
an open question. Under the dash is
the customary place. But almost
every motor car fire endangeTs this
spot. Flames sometimes envelop the
eXtinguisher before the driver has Il
.hance to unhook it. The most logi-
cal place, from the fire standpoint, is
TO place il on the running board. but
this not only -spoils the cars looks
but tempts children to NEEDLE with
il. For roadsters especially the eX-
tinguisher can be carried on brackets
at the base of the drivers seat. In
this position it is very handy. For
touring cars good place is the back
of the front seat. Here il is accessi-
BILE: that is the main thing. 1t would
be less conspicuous if painted black.
And in winter it would be covered
by the robes. In this respect, how
ever, use your own judgment.
= In the second place, know the
causes of the various kinds of fires.
There is no sense in getting panic
strickenN because you smell smoke.
Gasoline doesn't explode; its vapor
does. But this vapor, il not confined
under pressure, simply bursts into
flame at once with very little smoke.
Thus when you smell smoke without
locating any flame, make up your
mind at once that the trouble is prob
ably in the electrical system. Fuses
and circuit-breakers are designed to
cut off the current when q short t-cir-
cult occurs, but horns-and frequent
ly spot-lights-are not so protected.
Shut off the motor and examine all
wires. often the smell of burning
rubber is merely a short-circuit in the
spotlight wires because they are
caught in the front door. II the mo-
tor has been running well the trouble
couldn't be in the distributor wires,
for should a wire to a spark plug

If you could turn the cock under

shut off from the carburetor. And
if you could close the gas line with a

way to the rear tank. But gas burns
so intensely and SO quickly that one
hardly ever has time to take such
precautions. Others have said: keep
fighting the fire, don't give up. for the
car won't explode" Well, this is good
counsel as far as it goes, but when
flames get all around the vacuum

when this happens. Keep your foot
on the self-starter just as though
nothing had happened. In the mean
time call to someone to bring the

are the motor will not start as the
gasoline in the float chamber has all
vaporized and burned up, but the
suction created by rotating the mo-
tor may suck UP the flames and
shoot them out the exhaust where
they belong. At least this will pre-
vent the flames from shooting Ort

to the carburetor, the fire will be
that much easier to extinguish.

Paris, Dec. THE opinion of the
average French smoker is that the
government will not readily dispose
Of the billion packages Of American
cigarettes and enormous quantity Of
smoking tobacco bought of the Amer
lean Expeditionary Force.
He admits that both cigarettes and
tobacco are prepared with greater
finish, that the quality may be finer,
but he has the habit of the old French
brand Of tobacco which Is coarser
stronger and produces far more
disagreeable odor, and he wants NO
other.
The French brand, however, Is
scarce. II is distributed to the to-
bacco shops but once week, in linn
tied quantities, and, rather than ac-
cept the American substitute. the
French smoker gets out early and
stands in line patiently for two
hours, in the hope of refilling his
pouch.
Sometimes he goes away dis
appointed, the supply having giyer
out before his turn came, but rarel,
does he accept the American substf
tute which is not to his taste and
moreover, is twice as costly.
