THEY SHALL NOT OPEN

Trenton.-The campaign for the con-
troll and eradication of venereal dis
eases depends upon the suppression OF
prostitution. The United States Pub
lie Health Service, in cooperation with
volunteer agencies, closed about one
hundred and fifty segregated districts
during the war. Twenty-nine States
which previously permitted "Red-light
Districts" to flourish have now pro-
hibited them within their borders.
Many small letter States we're already
free from these vice institutions.
There are at present less than twen-
ty-five regulated "Red-light Districts
in the United States New Jersey is
free from any recognized district, but
it is essential that the public shall see
that necessary laws and regulations
are passed to make it impossible for
these to be reopened when the war
time regulations are automatically re-
moved. However, it must be remem-
bered that clandestine prostitutes usu-
ally outnumber licensed prostitutes
where there are "Red-light Districts,
and when these districts are prohibited
the clandestine prostitute still remains.
These are just as dangerous in spread
ing venereal diseases as the profess
sional women. immortality must be
made as difficult as possible by the en-
actment and effective enforcement OF
repressive measures if these enemies
of society, who profit through the ac-
tivities of the underworld, are to be
curbed. Wherever prostitution is
profitable, those financially interested
will not only supply the prostitute, bui
will also foster lieentious desires and
create an artificial stimulus for vice
The New Jersey State Department
of Health, through the Bureau OF Vene-
real Disease Control, is attempting to
eradicate gonorrheS and syphilis by
means of medical treatment of all in
fected individuals and by suppression
of prostitution that there may be no
new victims of these diseases.
1t is essential that you cooperate;
the responsibility is yours.

KNOWLEDGE Els POWER.
one-eiohth of All Illness Due to Vene.
real Diseases

The United States Public Health
Service reports that not less than one
eighth of all human illness is due to
the so-called venereal diseases. These
diseases are preventable. The New
Jersey Bureau of Venereal Disease
Control estimates on a conservative
basis that there are at the present
time not less than 100000 cases of
gonorrhea and syphilis in the state of
New Jersey. These diseases are cura-
BILE, and the State Department of
Health is endeavoring to get these in
fected individuals who are menacing
the health of the public to go either
to their family physician for treat
ment, or to the government clinics,
which are being established in the
principal cities of the State. AT the
present time one-fourth of the entire
revenue of New Jersey is spent for
the maintenance of institutions for the
care of the insane, diseased, blind and
criminal These inmates are public
charges, largely because they have in
herited or acquired syphilis or have
been infected with gonorrhea. Society
has permitted these infectious and con-
tagious diseases to spread, and now it
is paying by high taxation for the sup
port and maintenance of these mental
and physical units.
The expenditures for the care Of
these detectives cannot be curtailed,
but if the need for a constantly in
creased appropriation for the future is
not desired it is imperative that at
this time something shall be done to
prevent the further spread of these
insidious diseases. This is your in
dividual responsibility, and that of
your community. The New Jersey
Bureau of Venereal Disease Control is
prepared and equipped to cooperate
and assist you in the fight and control
Of these diseases.

All reports now being snugly tucked
away by the careful city clerk, COM
munications were called for. This
weeks toll was narrowed down to one,
sent by Evans G. Slaughter, general
manager OF the Wildwood e. Delaware
Bay Short Line Railroad Co., saying
that he had taken up with the direc-
tors the matter of placing safety gates
at the park boulevard crossing, and
finds that owing to increased operat-
ing expenses they will not be justified
at this time in acceding to the request
made by the commissioners a couple OF
weeks ago. Mr.. Slaughter promises,
however, to use all due caution, as
heretofore, to protect the crossing by
posting a watchman or fisgman there.
The commissioners hastily modified or
withdrew that part OF the original reso-
luton, which included the Reading IN
the safety gate recommendations made
to the Pennsy for the protection OF Rio
Grande and Oak avenues crossings.
The prompter now Pot Architect
Mark B. Reeves on the public's stage,
who presented the plans and speclhca-
tions and estimate for the new public
comfort station on board walk at Mag
poIia avenue. The cost is not to ex-
ceed Sc, 200. The plans were speedily
approved and adopted, and the city
clerk was instructed to insert Notice
OF Intention at once to the effect that an
ordinance will be introduced on Apr. 10
appropriating the sum of money above
mentioned.
Collector of Water Rents Robert j.
Kay told how promptly Henry ii.
Ottens "came across" with the dough
to pay for tapping water mains for his
patrons. Ottens sent two checks, one
for $40 and the other for $50 making
$40 in ALL This money pays for 28
taps at $3.50 each. 1t was the reading
OF Mr.. Ottens' letter at last meeting,
complaining that the water depart
ment was negligent or dilatory in max
ing taps for Ottens' people, that raised
up such breeze at city hall last week.
A certain gentleman, said to be capable
of taking care of himself and the JOUR-
NAL reporter too, if matters had come
to the worst, was seen to work his way
near to the reporter and sit down be-
side him. Quite a deal Of discussion
took place over Mr.. Ottens' letter,
Brown and Kay stating that the water
department was ready and willing al
ways to make taps to mains for con-
sumers, when bitches were dug by
plum bers, and the payment Of tapping
fees arranged for City Solicitor Hand
was not present at yesterdays meeting.
He had gone to Newark on business.

MARRIAGE AND DISEASE.

Have you accepted or proposed?
Under our present law it is illegal
for those to marry who are infected
with venereal disease In the case of
either sex, physical examination by
a physician is the only proper method
Of determining freedom from infec-
ton with gonorrhea or syphilis. Sixty
per cent of men have gonorrhea at
some time in their lives. This fact
alone is sufficient to necessitate phys
ieal examination of all men before
marriage. But as all virtue is not con-
fined to women, so all vice is not ex-
clusively in the possession of men ;
thus it is necessary that women also
should be shown by physical examina-
ton to be free from venereal disease.
This examination can be made by a
physician of the same sex as the ap-
piicant for marriage, so that even the
prude would be unlikely to object un-
less infected.
AS about 10 per cent OF syphilitic in
fections are acquired innocently, this
examination must not be looked upon
as a charge of promiscuity. One-fifth
of all married women have gonorrhea,
a large percentage of which has been
acquired from the husband.
An examination should be under.
gone as soon as matrimony is contem.
plated; then if disease is discovered
the marriage may be delayed until
cure is obtained. This law should
greatly reduce the amount of limo
Gently acquired venereal diseases.
