MAKE CHECK
OF INMATES
AT HOSPITAL
SHOWN THAT MANY AT FLO
RIDA INSTITUTION ARE
AFFLICTED WITH SYPHT-
LIS.

CHATTAHOOCHEE, Dec. q,
FNS).-A recent check of in
mates of the Florida State Hos
pital here, according to J. H.
Therrell, superintendent, showed
that 761 of them were afflicted
with syphilis. This is approx
mately seventeen percent of the
total population of the hospital.
The number of syphilitics were
divided as follows 1872 white males
and So white females; 293 color
ed males and 275 colored females.
Admissions to the hospital for the
insane directly due to syphilis
were listed as SO white males and
20 white females; 139 colored
males and 1873 colored females.
Barbara Phelan, recently speak
ing before the study body at the
Florida State College for Women
in the drive now being staged
to eradicate this dread disease
from the state, said that the work
of Stuart c.. Thompson covering
the period from 1917 to 1885 in
Florida showed that in 1917 po-
pulation of 912,866 persons, Sc
per cent of the white people were
syphilitic and STA per cent of
the negroes; in 1885, of a popu-
lation of 1,614,000 persons, "a per
cent of the whites and 67.8 per
cent of the colored population
were syphilitic. No cause for the
increase has been discovered.
According to DR.. Ralph E.
Stevens, chief physician of the
Florida State Hospital, hookworm
plays an important part in the
work of the institution. 1--WE do
not feel that hookworm is direct
ly responsible for any of our ad-
MISSIONS" he stated, but there
is no doubt that it is an aggra-
waiting cause in many of our adj
missions, especially from western
Florida"

Remember Pedestrians
By Don HeroId

Nearly half of the $1,000 people
killed by automobile accidents in the
United States last year were pedes-
TRANS, according to figures released by
The Travellers Insurance Company.
In most cases. the pedestrians asked
for it.
1t is seldom that automobiles come
up on the sidewalk and chase pedes-
trians. Sometimes they do, but not
often.
AS rule, a pedestrian wants it and
walks out where he can get it.
He'll pit his frail, watery flesh and
fragile bones against a ton or two of
laundering steel and glass and flaming
fire.
He'll put his life in the hands of
drivers of cars coming at him at Is to
IS miles an hour-drivers, many of
whom, if he knew them personally, he
wouldn't trust with ten cents worth
of dog meat.
He'll walk along a country road
with his back to traffic (instead Of
acing it as he should) and leave it to
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-12-21

the assorted morons, nit-wits, kids,
DRINKS and a certain percentage of
careful, intelligent drivers to see that
they don't bump him into kingdom
come.
He won't be a sissy, so instead of
waiting for traffic lights in city streets
he'll dart out into a mess of swift
traffic and jump around among speed
ing cars like fox in the middle of a
pack of hounds.
He'll cross in the middle of the
block. (4,640 killed this way last
year, He'll step out from behind
parked cars without peeking Il 800.
He'll cross busy intersections catty-
coruered.
OF course, some pedestrians are
children whose parents haven't taught
them the danger of playing in streets,
but most pedestrians who get killed
or manned by motor cars ask for it
and-GET 1T
I'd say that it ought to be easy to
eliminate 10000 pedestrian deaths
year-if the pedestrians were interested.

tons and the size of guns to four
teen inches. When Japan refused
to adhere to this limitation, the
United States, acting under the
Treaty's terms, announced that
its new 100000, 000- battleships,
the North Carolina and the Wash
ington, would be armed with To-
inch guns. Apparently, Great
Britain is adhering to the $4,000
ton, 14-inch gun limits. The
British now have five battleships
under construction and plan to
build four or five more. The
American naval program is gov
erned by the Vinson-Trammell
Act which provides for a Navy
up to the Treaty limits. The
present program calls for the re-
tention of our fifteen battleships
and Tor the laying of two more
each fiscal year during the next
three years, in addition to the
two now about to begin. In
other words, in the face of semi
official confirmation of the 49,
000-ton Japanese ships and the
that Great Britain
will have seven or eight under
before 1888 ends, no
change in our building plan has
been announced.

deep study and wise leadership
on the part of responsible Off
Gals. They also demand cool
thinking on the part of American

anywhere in the world. This may
be the correct attitude for the in

In view of developments in
the Far East, it is evident that
the United States and other West
ern nations are faced with the
necessity of making a grave de-
cision as to the future policy.
Whatever rights belong to this
country under the international
law and treaties in regards to
commerce with China, must be
carefully balanced against the
prospective cost of asserting and
maintaining them. If Japan
closes the open Door," for ex-
ample, is the interest of the Unit
ed States worth a possible war
with Japan, even if this country
acts in concert with Great Brit
ain and other nations in assert
ing its rights? Then, there is
the larger question, involving the
future relationship between the
democracies of the world and the
allied dictator group which in
volve conclusions which must, of
necessity, be based upon opinions
as to the future. Whether Japan,
Italy and Germany will become
satisfied with present achieve
ments or whether their demands
will feed upon their successes is
a question which no one can pos
itively answer. However, the
course of the United States, par
ticularly the strength of its
navy, must be based upon an as
sumed answer in regard to the
future aggressiveness of this
group and particularly Japan.
Of course, there is always the
chance that some incident, like
the sinking of the gunboat
Panay on the Yangtse will pro-
duce a crisis which will crystalize
sentiment in this country. As
long as the United States main
tains any of its present right"
in China and keeps soldiers and
warships in that country, there
is every likelihood that such
things will happen, Even the
presence of our soldiers at Shan
ghai invites clashes with the vic
torious Japanese and while the
Japanese may withdraw again
as they did on the occasion of
the Victory parade, the chance
exists that some situation may
arise which will lead to battle.
If such a thing happens, what is
the United States going to do?
Are we going to withdraw our
ships and soldiers from China or
will we insist upon our rights
and. if necessary, uphold them
by force?

San Francisco Union Want
Picketing Ordinance Ended

A big campaign to repeal the anti
picketing ordinance of San Francisco,
Calf, is being carried on by the or
ganized labor movement Of that city.
The ordinance was enacted twenty
years ago when group Of union Ia
Dor haters combined to fight organ
lied labor and the workers generally
secured control Of the city govern
ment.
They succeeded in hoodwinking the
voters into approving the measure by
clever use of the slogan that peaceful
piekeing is impossible. The policy was
made effective during some of the hys-
terra generated by the World War.
Since then organized labor in San
Francisco has been deprived of the
right to defend union labod living
standards by the method Of picketing.
A special municipal election will be
held on March to vote on the repeal
proposal.
