SAM GRATHWELL, LECTURES
HERE WEDNESDAY, JAN. %

Sam Grathwell, who will lecture
here on Wednesday evening at the
H. S. A., $50, used to sell papers on
a busy corner in Cincinnati. He us
ed to shine shoes also, and run err
rands, and do the many other things
that Fate maps out for the child of
the tenements. His father died when
he was seven years of ago. There
were two younger children in the
family, and so with that stole indif-
ference characteristic of the slum
children-Sam helped support the
family.
This all happened not SO many
years ago. Today Sam Grathwell
holds a distinguished place on the
American lecture platform. His per-
sonal story is noteworthy because it
is one of real accomplishment, and
PECULIARLY enough, his best known
lecture is Getting By Your Hoodoo.'
Sam Grathwell certainly got his. Be-
lOIG young GldUilWSll SSllouoiy VII
sidered going to school he had spent
many years as factory hand, barrel
painter, ditch digger, saloon porter,
waiter in .one Of Cincinnati's high
class bargooms elevator boy and
salesman.
A chance word Of appreciation
started him to school, later he en-
tered the sixth grade of the night
school. Here brief presentation
speech called attention to his gift for
speaking and led later when he was
81, to entering Berea College, Berea,
Kentucky. He made his own way,
and, years later received his "A. B.
degree at Leland Stanford, Jr. Uni
versity. Here in his senior year he
won highest forensic honors. Pre-
vious to this while at the Pacific Uni
versity he won three state and one
interstate oratorical contests. He
holds memberships in three honorary
debating fraternities, Delta Sigma
Rho, Pi Kappa Delta, Phi Appa Tau
record perhaps not held by any
other man in America.
He comes under the auspices of the
Belington Civic League Lyceum.

Getting by Your Hoodoo" is the
subject of the lecture to be given by

COOPERATING WITH HEALTH
AUTHORITIES IN RESPECT
TO REPORTING CASES
Danger Lies In Keeping AffIiction
Secret, Declare Those Interested In

Doctors of West Virginia are aiding
in yenereal disease control. for there
are only nine states in the Union
where physicians are giving better CO.
operation with respect to reporting
their cases to the health authorities,
says the Bureau Of Venereal Diseases,
Charleston.
Before a successful campaign
against venereal diseases can be con-
Quoted a knowledge of the number
Of cases and where they areslocated
is. necessary, declares the bureau, and
this information can only be gained
through the doctors of the state re-
porting the number of persons receiv-
ing treatment from them.
Many states experience difficulty in
procuring this information from physi-
clans, but inasmuch as the name of
the patient is not given and tie cases
are only reported by number, former
objections have been removed, say
the state health authorities, and prog
ressive doctors realizing the value of
such reports, promptly comply with
the law.
Dangers of venerea1 diseases lie in
keeping them secret, declare those in
terested in cure and control in West
Virginia, for they are durable in the
early stages. Locomotor ataxia, insan-
ity, paralysis, and other results of
syphilis occur when the disease has
gone untreated, or when patients have
resorted 10 patent medicines and other
means of self-treatment which lead TO
tragic results.
Over 5000 cases of venereal diseases
were reported to the Bureau .of
Venereal Diseases, Charleston, during
1922, by physicians alone.
