A LESSON FROM RUSSIA.

According 10 statistics, syphilis is so widespread in
Russia that from 50 to so per cent of the cases are due
to causes other than sexual.
The disease which has been so characteristic in its
appearance that. owing to changed conditions. ii has lost
its earmarks forecognition and its chief distinction. in
that il is known as a sexual disease, and has now be
come known as a contagious family disease. e. T..
measles.
Not only are families as a unit infected. but com
munities at large-so much SO that in some instances
only 5 per cent are free from the infection. In other
words. communities have become syphnized.
Although accurate statistics are not available in the
United States TO prove the contrary, an dour dreams are
that We have only a small per cent present in comparison.
if the average man could take time 10 devle into the ar
chives OF the community. family. and Individuals his
tory. he would no doubt be surprised at the results.
Let US look forward a century and think what the
proportions might be if the disease were not checked at
the present time through the efforts of the United States
Public Health Service.
Do we want the United States TO be menaced by
such conditions as present themselves in some parts of
Russia? Slight efforts and cooperation at this time will
accomplish more than volumes of work one hundred years
from nov.

down by the United States Public Health Service. divi

"vAMPINGn A NEW ART.

A new art is arisen for femininity and it is called
"vamping" II is praciced a great deal on the streets al
night. Generally the street "vamps" are young girls OF
immature years. The elder "vamps" fear the police, the
young ones fear nothing that wears breeches.
The force of women police of Newark, \. J., says a
dispatch. have been instructed to get after the hirtatious
girls commonly called vampires" Some of them who
piled their arts too obviously on the street have been
given motherly advice, and some have had the paint
washed from their faces.
The vampire. says an exchange. is a somewhat ia
miliar character in modern life. who figures much in
movies. plays and novels. Some of them are just ordi-
nary bedraggled girls OF the street. At the other ex-
treme are those who conceal inordinate sex desires un-
der the polished manners of society.
And midway are great numbers of abnormal young
women who throw themselves at every masculine object
feminine camouhage and unwomanly overtures. They
may intend no serious harm and might commit no ser
ious onense. But they lead many men to speak lightly
of all womankind.
The thoroughly modern girl makes herself attractive
in another way. She seeks first her own independence.
so she can pick and choose and hold herself independent
OF men, unless and until she can find the right one. Her
very independence attracts the normal minded man. He
is much more apt to pursue the one who seems able to
care for herself, who is independent and elusive and not
to be had easily.
The girl who throws herself at him. who is more
concerned TO have a pretty face than to have a bright
mind and interesting conversation, is more and more go
ing out Of date. she still finds gulHble fools. But the
public mas little sympathy for her. and no protests are
heard if the policewomen take her aside and wash the
paint off her face.

AUTO MEN DESERVE SUCCESS.

INDIANA'S
GLORIOUS
RECORD

General Pershing is said to
have assisted in the selection
of what were termed the
twelve best stories that came
out of the war" These stories
dealt with the heroism of the
fighting American boys. who
proved that they were ami
mated by the same spirit that
won the independence of the
colonies and has since made
America the military marvel
of the world.
Indiana might we'll write a
record of her own heroes.
Hoosier boys were in the
thickest of the fighting. They
won distinctions on every bat
tie field for bravery. for cool
ness and daring under fire and
for all the attributes that go
to make good soldiers. Indi-
ana home folks want those of
their survivors, many Of
whom have records as glori-
Gus as those mentioned in the
official dispatches, back home
again. For that reason Hoos-
iers are pledging themselves
to future subscriptions to the
financial support of the fed
eral Government. incident to
the Victory loan campaign.
That there may be some
idea of the part Indiana play
ed on the field of action, this
paper will present from day
to day the story of conspicu-
Gus bits of Individual heroism,
in the belief that such publ
cation will serve to stimulate
the patriotism of those who
were served in the noble fash
ion indicated, and who can
not afford to fail in finishing
the job properly. The first
will appear tomorrow.

WANTS THEM LICENSED.

In an effort to prevent the exploitation of the uni
form of the American soldier and sailor. and to assist
many more deserving young men TO maintain their self
respect and self-support, Col Arthur Wood. special as
sistant to the Secretary of War. has asked every state
and municipal officer TO report all licenses issued to dis
charged men. who desire to engage in %peddling. The
Emergency Employment Committee for Soldiers and
Sailors, of the Council of National Defense, will en-
'eavor to ascertain at once whether the soldier is ped
ding from choice or necessity, and seek to prevent the
possible appearance of public neglect, which it holds. is
suggested by the large number OF men in uniforms
working" the streets of the large cities.
IF local authorities will cooperate with me in this
matter. / am very confident that we will ind. in the ma
jority Of cases. it has been a matter Of necessity rather
than choice. and that the returned soldier or sailor who
has engaged in This sort Of work will welcome an oppor-
tunity of obtaining employment which is more dignifed
and in all probability more renlunerative." says Colonel
Wood.

Hammond, Ind. April IL. 1919

AAHAF ARAAA L = 1917
Editor TINES:
In reply to your editorial of yester-
day on the sentence Of Eugene V. Debs.
This is my first attempt at a reply to
an editorial and believe should be
heard on the following. since 1 speak
the sentiments of the mass. It is truly
the voice OF the people. at least that
portion OF the people We should uphold.
Eugene Debs has received his sent
ence and in all probability will soon be
confined in Atlanta prison. With the
passing of Mr.. Debs from our social and
political life the working people of
America will feel the loss of a friend
and earnest worker in their behalf.
which nothing can replace. His name
ranks among those Of our other great
statesmen as an efficient promoter Of
the welfare of the working class. And
is not this the great class. the one in
which we should take most interest?
Are we not ourselves OF that very
class? The fact is in~disputablei And
il may be likened to the cutting of our
own hang-rope when we make a slam at
Eugene Debs or in any way whatsoever
impair the work of this great mar by
our censures.
His name will go down in history as
one of those great philanthropists who
fought for everything pointing to the
good of the mass and for the extinction
of autocracy and the power of the few.
And in this connection let il be said
ii is too often the case that this type of
man is unappreciated. That great man.
ksrk Marx-German tho he was-failed
TO receive the appreciation he deserved.
Yet. are not the majority of the very
things he advocated in some way or
other advocated in some way or other
incorporated into our governments of
this age?
The celebrated Frenchman. Jules
Verne. died without the honor which
should have attended him. The selfish
world failed TO realize the value of the
man while he was alive and moving
amoDg his feIlowmen. but his deeds
lived after him as did those of Marx.
Eugene Debs is this type of man; one
who can look beyond this ignorant pres
ent and fifty years into the future,
while the slow world sits idly by I'M
able to catch UP with them and their
ideas.
AS between Debs and the suprennt
Court of the United States, what is the
Supreme Court? And what
man Will stand with his hand on his
Bible and swear that these things are
not so? None but the moral degenerate
of Judas Iscariot!
After all. ii is the old story OF wheth-
er capital or labor shall rule. autocracv
or democracy. It is a question which
has been brewing for centuries and has
now reached its climax. It may vet
find its Waterloo in our generation. So.
three cheers for Deb and the upIift Of
humanity,
Yours sincerely.
