4 FENCE AND 4 LIGHT ON
 THE CLTFF

4 fabulous city was built on a high hill. one side Of the hili was Q sheer cliff with c drop Of hundreds of feet. People unfamiliar with the situation fell over the cliff on dark nights and were killed or badly in. jured. The people Of the city didn't mind, as most of the victims were strangers anyway. They kept tally of the number of victims ai1d the people were vain about t.
 But after the cliff had claimed c thousand victims there was little in. terest in going on with 1t. So Q drive was launched to raise funds and presently the people built Q first class hospital at the bottom of the cliff, with ambulance service and everything to take care of the vic- tins aS they tumbled over. They felt that this solved the problem. To be sure, some radicals had asked why not erect 6 strong fence at the top Of the cliff and install a few electric lights, and so prevent any more careless or confused strangers from falling over? This idea was
 
 frowned down by the people.
 4 while ago the health comn1iS. gioner Of a great eastern state ate tempted to put c light out there on the cliff. But the broadcasting company, owners of the air, would not allow him to mention syphilis in 6 health address he had been asked to give on the radio,
 Strange how prudish we are about this, when one oUt of every ten persons in the country has or has had syphilis. Most infections with syphilis occur in young men and young women from IS to 90 years of age. Sixty out of each hundred persons with syphilis are men and forty are women.

 Bridges Gap Between Generations
 The annual mathematician golf tournament of the Womcn's Metropolitan Golf Association, held recently is one of the new evidences Of the way in which parents are bridging the gap between genera tons. When mother and son have played game together taken their victories hunbly and their dee foats cheerfully, they know something about each other that they couldns have found out If the mother had stayed on the club house veranda, or stood on the lines and merely watched her sons strokes.
 No boy or girl wants his mother to Dc his age. He feels as ridiculous as she looks, when she makes the attempt If the added years have not given 6 woman something of matured sym- pathy, understanding and dignity she has failed,
