FIGHT vENEREAL DISEASES.
Iowa Ranks Fourth in Edueationa
Program Against Social Evil.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. April 5.-Physicians.
school teachers, boards OF health,
public officials and civic organiza-
tons thruout the state are now CO.
operating In the work for the eradi-
cation of venereal diseases which Is
being directed by the federal state
bureau established here following the
close of the war. Education which
will prevent and eradicate these af-
Elections is the weapon being used by
those directing the campaign.
That Iowa Is making progress in
this work is indicated by the reports
just received from Washington by
DR.. Wilbur s. Conkling. director of
venereal disease control in Iowa.
These reports state that Iowa finish
ed fourth place in the month of
March in the number Of persons OF
nigh school age reached by govern
ment and state literature pertaining
to this subject
State records show that some A.
900 high school Students received the
government and state pamphlets in
the month just closed. Lectures given
by representatives of the bureau and
moving picture films which have been
put out by the government are other
means used to interest and instruct
not only pupils but parents also.
Officials report that the segregation
of those afflicted with venereal dis,
eases is not resorted to except in
cases Of Offenders who refuse to sub
nit to treatment or meet the require
ments OF the Jaw. During the war
segregation and forced detention of
the victims of venereal diseases was
in many communities the general
practice, particularly in those cities
adjacent to army camps. However.
the government and the state are now
relying more on campaign of educa-
ton to conquer these afflictions.
Physicians are required to report
cases of willful offenders Of the law in
these matters to the city officials and
in such cases detentions for treat
ment may be found necessary.

U. S. DEBT CUT MILLIONS.
Yet $24,ess, 900, 600 Is Still Owed by
Nation.


BY Associated Press.
Washington. April "a reduction
of s705, 660, coo in the national DEBT
more than double the amount by
which the debt was lowered DURING
any previous month-was accom-
pIished during March, the treasury
reported last night. The nationai
debt now stands at s24,69S,0oo 900.
Officials said that while this rec
crd could not be used as a basis tor
forecasting further monthly reduc-
tons. il was Sound evidence" OF the
success of the treasury program for
financing the postwar period with
government expenditures still run
ming high.
March payments on the pubic
debt were confined almost wholly 10
retirement Of certificates of indebted
ness issued in anticipation of income
and profit taxes.
Reductions by months since August
when the ,retirements began, were:
October, $685. 900 November, $9i.-
AIS. 900: December, s27S.974.Oo0; Jan
rary, $16S,6S9. 900, and February S26i,-
$4,000. Heavy payments on the debt
in December and February both were
traceable to the retirement of certill-
Gates of Indebtedness, but the amount
of obligations retired each month. al
though fluctuating. has been on the
increase.
Future monthly productions will
depend largely on new appropriation
and tax legislation, officials said.
They expect, however, that operation
of the sinking fund would reflect
more and more on the gross national
debt each month thereafter. None
would venture a prediction as to the
net reduction for the calendar year.
AS the public debt now stands 1t is
made up OF SIS, SIG 100000. compris-
Ing the four issues of Liberty bonds:
$4,422, 100000 of Victory short term
notes, s2,667, 100000 in treasury GER
tificates; $S70.000,0 900 in War Savings
certificates and approximately ST.
600, 100000 in bonds issued prior to
the world war.
The greatest single item among
these old bonds Is the issue OF con-
soils of 1880. which aggregates $780,
100000.
