In a recent broad cast over WNYC, New York city's great municipally owned station the following graphic warning was given by authorities in the field of sight conservation: Pro bably the most serious of all in- fectious diseases which may re- suit in blindness is syphilis. This disease can affect the eyes in ways to numerous to be described here, except to say that every one of them is serious. Unlike any of the other infectious dis eases, ii can even be passed on tc a baby before it is born, so that the child may come into the world with seriously defective or blind eyes. Or the child may ap- pareptly be healthy but carry in its system the germs which will attack its eyes several years lat CT"
 Doctors possess many volumes devoted to descriptions of the various guises under which syph- ilis operates. But such detailed observations are not essential to the layman. If he knows the major facts regarding the physi- cal, social and economic loss due to the disease, he will promptly join the hosts of those who are waging the fight for its elimina- tion.
 Prudery, ignorance, taboo and fear-the malignant Four Horse men which so long have served as a bodyguard for syphilis-are on the retreat.
 
 Science and administration work ing together can banish this great plague from the United States Future years should see the army of afflicted, now filling our hos pitals, prisons and other institu- tions", reduced to mere corpor- al's guard. And an informed co. operation public can be a major factor in attaining this most de. sirable goal.

total, before letting defenders in.
Declarers of diamonds had a
rude shock, finding four trumps in
South's hand, obliging them to lose
two diamond tricks, as well as
either one club or one spade. The
opening lead invariably was either
a spade or a club, as would be ex-
pected.
At no trumps the opening lead
was a club, giving declarer two
sure stops to the suit. Had de-
clarer had to lose no diamond
tricks with that suit the call, there
would have been a grand slam at
diamonds, or one trick more than
at no trumpS. Had there been
only a single diamond trick to lose
there would have been 5-odd either
at the suit or at no trumps, pro-
vided the opening lead was a spade
against the suit make. At dia-
monds, with only one trump trick
to lose, an opening lead Of clubs
would have yielded a small slam,
as declarer then could have dis
carded his losing spade on East's
fourth heart and ruffed a single
loser in clubs.
Declarers of hearts ran into even
tougher luck than the bidders Of
the other red suit. Not one Of
them made more than 4-odd. Two
went down two tricks. Here again
as a diamonds, the necessary loss
of two tricks in diamonds prevent
ed declarer from forcing North to
ruff that suit often enough to lose
only two trump tricks and sin
gle spade trick. The minor red
suit was the weak link at all calls
made.

Human Hair in History,
Medicine and Culture

Hair is just as individual as
thumb prints. For criminal pur-

identified by his hair In 1886, in
a small French village, several peo-
pie were murdered and four sus-
poets were arrested. In the home
Of one Of these suspects an ak
showing traces of blood was found.
There were five hairs on the ak,
and the microscopic examination
proved that the suspect, a butcher,
was innocent Of the crime. The
hair was not that Of any of the
murdered individuals.
Whether the hair turns gray in
a single night is to be doubted, al
though Marie Antoinette's case has
much evidence. Macmillan is
said to have turned gray in one
night. While he was climbing in
the mountains in the Tyrol he
spent a whole night hanging from
rock before he was saved.
The hair has many ceremonious
implications in different countries.
The Manchus forced the Chinese
to wear a cue as token of SUBJ
mission. After the revolution in
1911 all the cues were cut off to
show that the Manchus were no
longer supreme.
Early growth Of the beard In
youth is celebrated by some ma
lions. In China, the juvenile beard
is shaved for the first time in pub
lie.

LAKE FOR PARK
Council Asquires Silver Lake
and Land to Develop
Beauty Project
MEETS WITH APPROVAL

Mayor J. Wallace Woodford an
nounced last week that Dover had
completed negotiations for the pur-
chase of Silver Lake. The pur-
chase will include all of the land
that is under water at the lake and
the lowlands extending from the
Sdam to Division street. Accord
ing to present plans of the city it
is expected to develop the entire
area into a park site that will
eventually extend from a point
near the old Dover wharf through
the Loockerman and Division
streets bridges and around to a
point above the present new Silver
Lake bridge. Dover expects that
clearing of the newly purchased
area will be done as a WPA pro-
ject. A large amount of the clear
ing between the Loockerman street
and Division street bridges has al
ready been completed by WPA.
The area from the Court street
bridge south to the old wharf, had
been approved as a WPA project
and work will go forward on this
area during the coming winter
With the purchase Of the lake
area and its subsequent develop
ment into the park area, Dover will
have one of the largest parks of
any city of its size in the country
After the clearing work is COM
pleted, and the entire area put into
shape for a park, it is hoped to
have suitable shrubbery planted in
the area and a system of walks
