GOOD RESULTS
BEING SECURED
NENEREAL DISEASE CONTROL
CAMPAIGN Is ACHIEVING
GODD RESULTS.

Lansing, Oct. Estate workers are
optimistic regarding results of the
venereal disease control campaign
which Michigan has carried on the
past three years.
They will not commit themselves to
the statement that the incidence of
syphilis and gonorrhea has been cut;
they do say, however, that the ma
iority of persons afflicted with syph-
Ills or gonorrhea is now getting COM
petent medical treatment, either by
private practitioners or in municipal
clinics, whereas three years ago treat
ment was haphazard, ignored, or of
the quack variety.
With 20 municipal clinics estab-
lished in the larger cities and work
ing in cooperation with the state de-
partment Of health, a total Of 101, 341
persons visited the clinics for treat
ment, examination, or advice during
the present year, from Jan to Sept.
1, according to department records.
Treatments given at the clinics num-
bered 26,5i9, Of which 5000 were to
men and 10,454 to women compared
with total of u, CAB treatments in
the corresponding period a year ago.
Physicians reported 6,6S5 cases of
gonorrhea, 5,1S2 cases Of syphilis, and
10S cases of chancroid up to Sept. l.,
making a total Of 1875 cases of
venereal disease reported. Last year
1912 cases were reported during the
first s months.
1--WE must consider the effect of
venereal disease control upon the gen.
erations yet unborn, and the diminu
ton of misery and suffering with
which we are daily surrounded, to
understand jp>t what the campaign
means to sctlety," states DR.. William
j. V. Deacon, director, in commenting
upon the work Of the year.

The Story of

NyxN. SA HNM falls the honor
hnI Q.AklE9g1xAA E Of being the
MI M@tI SD first of the
%sTItSfsy4WN original thir-
N>s..ysW teen states.
~ 1871 - December z,
1877, ii officially adopted the Con.
stitution and thus was made
beginning of our present Federal
government. According to the
seventh article of the COnstitu-
ton, however, 1t was necessary
for nine states to ratify ii before
IL actually came into force. So
IL was not until the following
June. by which time eight other
states had accepted the Consti-
tuition, that the United States of
America actually came into be-
ing.
The early history of Delaware
was a varied one. 1t started in
1898 when a small party of
Swedes settled at the mouth of
the Delaware river and called ii
New Sweden. In 1866, Peter
Stuyvesant, the governor of the
Dutch colony of New Neither
lands, annexed this territory. But
it did not long remain Dutch,
for in 1864 the English took
possession. When Pennsylvania
was decided to William Penn he
desired access to the seacoast
and at his urgent request Della
ware was transferred to Penn's
proprietorship. From the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth CEN
fury, however, Delaware had its
separate legislature. and at the
time of the Revolution it be-
came an Independent state.
Delaware is next to the small
est of our states. having an area
OF only 2,370 square miles. Its
participation in presidential cleo
tons is limited to three electors.
This is arranged according to
population. Each state is entitled
TO the same number of presiden-
tial electors as 1t has members
OF congress, so the influence OF
the different states in voting for
the President varies from Della
wares three electors to New
York's 45.
AS to the derivation of the
name Delaware. this was appro-
priately given to the state from
the river, which in turn was
named after the bay and the bay
was called Delaware in honor of
Lord Delaware, who was COVER
nor of the Virginia colony in
1910.

MAY CHANGE FORM
OF STATE BALLOT

COLUMBUS, o.. Feb. IL - Will
state G.. o. p. leaders attempt to
change the form OF the referendum
ballot?
Dissatisfaction with the present
form Of the ballot has been felt for
some time, because of the difficulty
Of voters getting 1t clear in their
minds Just how the ballot should be
marked. The prospect of number
Of Democratic referendums on pro-
posed Republican legislative meas-
ures, such as the abolishing of the
state board Of administration, has
led Republican leaders to consider a
change in the form of the ballot, it is
said.
The marking space for the words
"yes" and mo- under the present
form OF the ballot, is opposite the
words. That, it is believed, has re-
suited in the defeat of many meas
ures referred to the people in the
past. Many persons, it is said, fav-
oring a measure, have placed X op-
posite the No, thinking 1t was ques.
tion of whether or not there should
be referendum OH it.
The change being talked about, is
to have the marking space opposite
the words "for the bill" and against
the bill" That, it is believed would
do away with great deal OF confu-
sion of referendum.
The only referred measure ever sus-
tanned by the people of Ohio was the
Crabbe Act last fall. and that only
after two years of education by the
AnttSaloon League. preaching Mark
an X opposite the yes"
In the case of constitutional amend
ments. this confusion is not caused
by the "yes" and mo" designations
OF these there are likely to be three,
soldiers bonus, debt limitation and
repeal of the uniform rule.

Safety pins can be traced back to

were made of bone and bent over,
shaped like the modern safety pins.
Many Of them have been found in

safety pin has passed through many
changes and been made of various
metals. An average of 10000 gposs
Of safety pins are now manufactured

Bowery to Platform,
 Is Lecturers Theme

William H. Johnson, known to public health service hospital audi ences throughout the country as ."Bo" Johnson, held large audience at the Fort Whipple Red Cross house for over an hour last night, while he talked frankly and energeti- cally of his life's experience from the Bowery to the lecture platform. Bow cry life, lodging houses and various other features of the New York slums figured in his remarks, slangy and peppered with epithets enough to tie his listeners attention into every remark.
 Johnson is making a tour of pub lie health service hospitals, given re- ligious talks to the ex-service men,, relating his personal history in the belief that the story of his life will prove of value to others. The Whip pie men regarded his talk last night as far and away the most interesting they have heard in some time.

Midwest doings are scheduled for the American Legion annual con vention at Kansas City October 31, according to the following bulletin from State Adjutant D. A, Little:
 Convention Plans
 The Eighty-ninth and Thirty-fifth divisions are having their reunions in Kansas City during the national con- vention dates and are perfecting elab- crate plans for entertaining the mem bers thereof.
 Legion officials are out hunting a vacant block in a good location to stage the most remarkable exhibition of tanks and war munitions, includ- ing big guns, that has ever been shown. These exhibits are being furnished by the ordnance department at Washington, D. C., and it will re- quire eight freight cars to transport them to Kansas City.
 The Wyoming department will put on replica of the famous Cheyenne roundup. Broncho riding, trick rid ing and roping, wild steer riding and steer bull-dogging from automobiles are to be included in the program. Prizes are offered by the Kansas City stockyards' to the amount of $6OOO.
 The department of Oklahoma will furnish a unique feature. An entire company of full-blooded Indians, members of the American Legion, will take part in the convention pa rade in the complete regalia of their tribe
 The ex-service nurses of Kansas City have formed a temporary or ganization and desire to receive and | look after all ex-service nurses who attend the convention. Will not any nurses from this department who plan to attend get into communica- ton with Nurses Division, American Legion headquarters, Indianapolis?'
 The convention committee has is sued a special appeal to all visiting legionnaires to bring their uniforms with them in honor of the distin- guished guest, Marshal Foch, and for the great legion parade.
