DIR. FOWLER SAYS

NOT LIKELY HERE
"cIonorchiasis" Brought to San
Francisco by Chinese Hitherto
Unknown in U. S.

There is little likelihood that the
dreaded disease Clonorchiasis-a para
site malady for which no treatment
has been found in any way effective
win reach Washington, according to
Dr.. William c. Fowler, District Health
Office.
This is a new disease to me-" sad
DR.. Fowler when shown dispatches
from San Francisco which tell Of
thirty-two Chinese merchants, just
arrived from China, who have been
guaranteed suffering with the
malady.
81 have never heard Of 1t before,
he said, 1T is doubtless an oriental
disease. However, I intend to keep
on the lookout in case the disease
should appear here. But ] do not
anticipate any trouble with 1t In
Washington"
Little Known About 1t.
DR.. Fowler will get into communica-
ton with the United States Public
Health Service today to secure in
formation regarding the disease. A
search Of the medical books In the
Health Department library revealed
that the disease Is known to medical
science. No further information is
given about II.
According to official correspon.
dence between Secretary of Labor
Davis and Surgeon General Cum
mings, of the Public Health Service,
clonorchiasis will not be "unduly
preiudicial' to the public health so

blue laws. "Our modern girl, sometimes
called the fapper, the shifter and a lot
of other uncomplimentary names. is dash
Ing around the country in knee skirts,
smoking one pack of cigarettes after an
other, drinking cocktails, talking loosely
and in the long run thinning out the blood
OF real old fashioned womanhood," de-
clared this lady on lecture platform.
Already saddled with the responsibility
Of what the reformist attributes to her,
the girl Of to-day will not think me very
chivalrous by adding to her burden the
blame for having made the effete, divan
minded young chap of to-day the hero that
he is in current fiction and life. Not that
believe all or, any of the things that the
woman quoted to be true However. there
is one thing certain and that Is our mod
ern girl has demanded this type of hero in
real life and he must necessarily come
into his own as such In fiction. For after
all fiction only glamourizes life In most
cases
The only way to find out the truth os
such matters is to get closeup OF the
American girl at play to-day cher enemies
say she Is never otherwise than at play).
She must be danced with--not in COM
monplace fashion. On the contrary, she
must be led over the ballroom floor by
a partner who gracefully executes all the
latest Jazz steps or else she drops him and
seeks one who is an adept. She does not
stay at home any more and enjoy the old
fashioned kind OF engagements with
mother sewing in the room beyond. In
stead she meets her date for tea or dinner
at an appointed rendezvous. Or together
they go dashing off in a car or to some
cabaret or club
Now get the psychology OF this. The
modern American girl has, with the aid
OF conditions, circumstances, environment,
changing viewpoints and conventions,
made herself voluntarily into the species
we find her today. She is not quite the
"old lace and lavender" type Of yesterday
that was interested in the knightly kind
Of man, the dreamer, the bold adveQturer
The New York herald., 1922-04-09

and so on. She Is the personifcation of
a "snappy age" She may have her Ian
guid dreamy moments when romance bids
her dream of silvery seas and quiet pearly
shores in some unknown part of the world.
But such moments pass in flashes and
she is back again in the world she knows
and loves best, the world where saxophones
and automobile horns play heavy part.
Now in order to enjoy this kind of life
that seems the demand of second nature
she must of necessity have some man or
youth who fits into her scheme of things
as the heroic figure.
Isn't It a trife simple after all to see
where our young fiction hero of to-day
gets his entrance cue from? Certainly the
young woman Of to-day speaks the lines
that herald his coming. She wants him
because he is her mood, her kind
To analyze this sparkling young female
creature and to outline all of the psyche
logical changes that brought her to the
point where she demands the white collar
man is far beyond the pale OF this article.
The point to wit is this: The American
girl OF to-day having revolutionized her
self and sisters in thought speech and
actions turned away from the type OF man
whom her new demands relegated to the
discard OF obsolete heroes and looked with
favor upon the product OF her influence
and age-the smooth faced, carefree youth
who may not be all that the term double
fisted" implies but who is consistently
capable Of giving her good time and see
ing things from her viewpoint
Perhaps you may say that these argu-
ments apply only to the young girls and
men so engrossed in having a youthful
fling that they have not reached a sober
thinking age. AS a matter OF fact they
actually apply to the universally accepted
type OF man hero nowadays whatever his
age may be.
Readers are no longer thrilled by the
too rough and ready" sort OF chap who
can do little else than reveal muscles har-
dened and toughened by contact with the
primal things OF life. To-day the hero
must be first OF all man who mingles in
the best OF social circles with ease. At
least he must know something about the
niceties in life as well as the rough edges.
Women in real life no longer care to be
made conspicuous in public or at parties
The New York herald., 1922-04-09

holds no more of glamour.
Underlying all of the reasons enumerated
here for the popularity of the present type
in life and fiction is a fact which is little
considered and thought of by the vast
majority of persons who have interested
themselves in the nomadic comings and
goings of varying fiction hero types.
Let us go back few years ago, say, to
1916. At this time we were not at war
with Germany There were very few and
limited ways for the men of this country
to reveal any outstanding heroic qualities.
Everybody lived about the same sort OF un-
men we're perhaps the only ones who ever
had a continuous opportunity to do the
spectacular and sensational kind OF hero
stuff, and yet we never look upon their
exploits as heroic. Whatever they do
seems taken for granted, as If expected
So the country was not producing much
heroism at the time and the fellows who
generally make the best heroes were jus:
plodding along or playing along as the
case might have been.
Then came the warl
The playfellows and the plodders put on
olive drab. Millions OF them drilled and
bent their energies toward becoming sol
diers for one great purpose. Hundreds of
thousands went overseas. Then came the
mud, the grim shell battered lines the
starving, thirsting moments. Gas, wounds,
heroism, death and the armistice.
So II was that millions Of our young fel-
lows proved they we're heroes at heart,
waiting only for chance to show them
selves. Those who came back are many
OF the young men who wear the clothes
and act the part Of the more effete type
of man. And yet our girls and women
who time and time again set up new gods
in the world Of fiction know that these
same chaps are heroes in their belted
models and dinner coats when Chateau.
Thierry and the Argonne woods are re.
membered.
Being revolution in herself, II Is not
surprising that the modern American girl
became insurgent about hero types both
real and imaginary. So it is that with
deliberate and capable hands she has
reached up and taken down the old, per-
haps the most romantic in a way, and set
UP her little clay idol who now lives to
the tune Of my Hero both in the realms
OF reality and worded imagery.
The New York herald., 1922-04-09

Of our American girls for almost ten years
suddenly burst into flames and, presto, we
saw before us the type Of man who to-day
is first in fiction and first in the hearts OF
his countrywomen.
To me he Is such an obvious chap that
You see him all around you these fine
spring days. He wears very collegiate or
sport clothes. In most cases he is a clean
cut sort Of young American, bit preco-
cious, to be sure but at that generally
having something worthwhile to listen to.
This young fellow with his city bred ways
has all Of the social graces. On the sur
face he may appear to be an amusement
seeker in life, and as a matter of strict
truth he is fundamentally an amusement
seeker in this his crystallizing stage.
Always equipped with enough poise to
carry him through any situation, he some
times seems brazen to those OF an older
generation.
He believes in different codes and creeds
concerning many vital things which have
agitated his father and mother during the
past decade For instance, he says to his
mother. "Oh, why not let Sis smoke ciga-
rettes II she wants to-" His ideas OF hav-
ing a good time are quite foreign to those
his father had at his age
But
For all OF these things that mark him
distinct type from his predecessor in
fiction he Is hero in his own way and
quite as picturesque person as could be
expected to live in an age so productive Of
efficiency and multiplied horsepower He
is hero not by virtue OF his own declara-
tion but because he is the chosen male type
OF that most irrepressible and unusual
force in our social life to-day-the young
modern American girl
The modern American girl has had many
things blamed upon her. the craze for
bobbed hair being among the least and
most unimportant when one considers the
statement recently made by woman we'll

VIII he ever come back?
These are questions which might engage
our attention Interestingly for time
But of the three shall deal with only the
first. In answering this question I am
giving you an opinion based on my obser.
vation as a writer and reader regarding
the reasons which have been instrumental
in bringing about the psychological causes
responsible for his downfall.
To begin with, heroes are really only
created to be looked up to and worshiped.
AS long as a certain type Of hero fasci
mates or holds in thrall the worshipers
he remains a fixed star However, the
moment he begins to lag in heroic quail
ties he becomes a shooting star and Ia
doomed to headlong flight and a bump
against earth, Mars or some other planet
Consequently after fiction readers became
fed up" to use current expletive, with
the breezy unconventionality of the West
erner who was forever dashing into places
and whose greatest hobby was wearing
soft shirts and collars where other men
were costumed according to fashion books
they began to look elsewhere for man
to share their moonlight and soft music
moods.
The Westerner who admitted he was too
fu nd nl 20 10 nj all fhot L. fnH
of stuff paled with the fair sex after the
novelty OF his unconventionality had worn
of. And OF course the other Westerner
who was a counterpart of the suave East
erner with only a difference of accent
didn't count in the matter at all.
About this time even this country with
done with the kind of pioneering and
adventurous days such as brought forth
the original Western fiction hero. There
were no more unmapped forest regions of
tall timber, no more green seas oftwaving
grass, no more country OF squatter law
to depend upon for types. Novelists began
new type Of American hero.
In saying a new type mean what the
word implies, a classified sort OF group,
any one OF which has a great deal in COM
mon with the other, not an individual
kind of hero. or course this latter kind
usually stand apart as characters and
there are always a few exceptional novel
lists who can write fiction that does not
have to hew to the story built around a
hero type for its popularity or success.
We are not dealing with such personalities
in fiction. We have to do with type alone,
for that is one Of the surest indications
Of the pulse beat Of q nation.
